I'm not sure crowns make that much difference. I read a magazine article once where a guy intentionally buggered up a crown after shooting the barrel for accuracy to get a starting point. After a few bad shots knocking the burrs off at the muzzle the accuracy returned to normal. I'm not saying...

To be young and ignorant of what you "can't do" again. I've had quite a few lucky shots over the years along with a few that I consider skilled. One in particular that was really burned in was a prairie dog kill at around 200 yards. I was running a Savage striker pistol in 243 with a 4x Leopold...

decent

Put it in a 22" bbl. and it'll probably perform about like a 338win in a 26" bbl., which is to say not too dang bad. I'd think long and hard about a 338rum on a 22" bbl. if I were the op..

375's are fun rifles. I had a m70 super express for a spell. It wasn't very accurate with anything but a 300rn bullet. I now own a m700 sps dg in 375 that is pretty good with most stuff, if you can hang on; she only weighs 8# scoped.

Good luck and heal up fast! There's ammo to shoot!

Beretta Neos and Weatherby Vangard both should be on this list. I'm never buying one of either again

a couple hundred fps edge to the 300 rum from the 300 roy and 300 rum's I load for if you want them accurate. I can't get any more out of a buddy's 300 roy than I can get out of my 300 win's.

h50 bmg is what I'm using with a 175 eld-x in my 7rum. She's an 8" twist Brux with a short throat though... I suspect a bit more cowbell in a longer throat would be the same. If you want to run 140's I suggest rl25, but 175-180 needs (preferably stick- ball might work too in a pinch) 50 cal...

There are remote jobs out there that most people can get hired into like data entry, billing rectifying, bill collecting, etc. that only require a decent wi-fi connection and a phone. Heck, a lot of them just run the phone on an app. through the computer. My wife has worked from home for a...

I'm not quite sure I care what the velocity is on a lot of the loads I shoot. Especially for mid range paper punching. If it exits the barrel it will make a hole. That said, I own a Oehler 35 (I'll probably buy a radar based chrono this year- waiting for the dust to settle), My Pops has a...

300 rum rifles aren't really that hard on barrels... The smaller bore diameter rifles will eat a bore a good bit quicker. I've got hundreds of rounds on my lh bdl 300rum and she's still a shooter.

Yup, I tore down some very accurate 300rum ammo for a buddy a while back as it was just a bit warm for his custom setup. I kicked her back 5% but it took weighing a good number of charges to get an average (plus and minus a grain or better). He was happy as a clam with the slightly reduced ammo...

I'm not 1 to buy a lot of factory ammo, so I don't have that much experience with having issues with getting the stuff to shoot. I usually only buy factory ammo when I need the brass, so I'm not expecting much. Norma 300win, Winchester 7rem 175gr, and Hornady 7-08 in 139 Interlock have been...
