Sierra 300 grain SBT .375 diameter, 1600 fps minimum It's good for anything starting with crows and going up to moose. Large bears require a harder projectile.

I own 375 H&H rifles and have shot Whitetails using my all-around load of the Sierra 300-grain SBT over 77.7 grains of IMR4350 (good for Crows, snakes, and other varmints and suchlike, too). Seriously, I don't think they expand at all even at close range and light game. After all, Sierra says...

I would suggest that the terms "compensator" and "muzzle brake" are interchangeable in that they attenuate muzzle "flip" and/or recoil during firing. Mag-Na-Porting is a form of compensator that does not change the barrel's profile and can never work loose. The Briley choke tube is also a...

As to the slime...they can also smell ya coming!

My MSR has a screw-on muzzle brake, but my hunting arms (revolvers and rifles) have all been Mag-Na-Ported. The AR was loud to begin with and now it roars. The dual trapezoidal porting on the handguns is dramatic. Of course, the noise and muzzle flash is increased. My 15-year-old grandson was...

I have used the Federal 215 and Winchester's Magnum primers in my 7mm Rem Mag and my 375 H&H Mags to profound effect.

I have come to the conclusion that the only way to get a good idea of what is going on with a barrel is to scope it when it is new and then, after cleaning all of the copper fouling from the bore each time, scoping again and referring to the original video. Particular attention needs to be paid...

This is a subject for debate that has gone on for decades…if not centuries. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Having a limited budget, before I bought my first high power rifle, I read everything I could on “Best All-Round Rifles” and...

Good photos! It looks as though you converted a perfectly good rifle into a brass extruder! What in the world was that load? In the old days, the bolt would have flown back into your face or the action would have exploded...or both! bullet diameter bullet weight powder type and charge weight...

I would suggest you seriously look at the Dillon RL550 progressive press. Once your dies are set, you don't have to adjust them when moving from one operation to the next. Calipers, scale, loading block, powder trickler, case trimmer and hand primer setting tools are the minimum extras. Dillon...

I am not disparaging the abilities of the 6.5C. I am only trying to point out that when one only possesses a hammer, everything begins to look like a nail. History has proven that men will tend to push the laws of physics and use tools intended for one job on another job far outmatched to the...

A heavy for caliber, long, well designed, expanding (in the case of thin skinned game) projectile launched at velocities close to 3000 fps, regardless of caliber is always better on game than a small diameter, light, faster bullet that is poorly constructed. As in archery, one must always...

Yes, I know, and once upon a time there was much buzz in the press regarding the 280 Ross. They touted that cartridge as "...perfect lion medicine". At that time, the accepted practice for hunting lion was to spy one (or three) on the open veldt with binoculars. Then, they would mount their...

One of the beautiful things about firearms shooting/collecting is there is always "the correct tool for the job". What I am about to say will be seen as heresy, but here goes! The 7mm Rem Mag was designed originally as a 500 yard elk cartridge propelling a 160 grain hunting bullet at 3000 fps...

"...herd..."? I have asked at my local retailers for the 284s but no luck yet. I have very good luck with Sierra products in all of my firearms. These will go into my 7mm Rem Mag for testing, when I get my hands on a box.
