I remember working and earning my own money to buy a Buck 110, it was a right of passage for us high school kids.
I still have my original 110 from 1980 and was gifted a new one for Christmas two years ago. I carry both of them. My old one is nowhere near as nice as the one being offered but...
I had a very simular failure on a pig in coastal CA. The thing that needs to be said is, 40 years ago Nosler sold a "Solid Base" bullet that looked exactly like todays Ballistic Tip. Todays Nosler Ballistic Tips are a great bullet. I will say thast my son talked me into trying 308, 165gn...
How about a rifle/slug combination that won't group at 100yds but the bullet goes to "sleep" and is shooting sub moa or whatever measurement at 400yds.
A simple knowledge of physics will tell you that it's not possible but yet I see the same old threads.
Knowing most wildlife agencies want proof of sex attached to the carcass, a whole world of questions popped up when I read the title of this post.
Be safe out there gentlemen.
I have a Ruger "Tactical" with a Magpul Hunter stock for a short action. The rifle is chambered for the 6.5C.
As far as I can tell, the Magpul long action and short action function the same.
The stock is comfortable to shoot and much more rigid than many plastic stocks found on the market...
I forgot to add that both of my lever action rifles have no problems shooting the 44spl length cartridge even when I mix mag and special in the magazine.
I have the Big Boy X 44mag that comes with a threaded barrel for a suppressor or some type of muzzle device.
I reccomend that the OP does not try to reduce any H110 loads found anywhere. I believe H110 has a chance of detonation and should not be reduced below book minimum safe loads. I did a...
Judging by the verbage in the OP, it sounds like the OP reloads. If this is true, try IMR 4227 and a 240gr or 300gr XTP. You will lose a few feet per second but it won't hurt like H110 or similar burn rate powders. I am firing full power loads from my Henry Big Boy X chambered for 44mag. Both my...
Adding weight to the buffer doesn't fix the problem of overgassing.
The AR-10 commercially built rifles are commonly overgassed because the industry knows people will try to shoot the cheapest junk ammuniton through the rifle so the barrel makers drill huge gasports to ensure cycling.
The...
Remember back when the "me too" movement was in full swing and the radio stations wouldn't play "Baby It's Cold Outside" because it was "rapey"?
The number one song on the top 50 hits or a list like it was "My Wet *****"
Check it out for yourself.
On top of the IMI being a little hot, you are seeing the signs of your bolt unlocking and ripping the case out of the chamber while the brass is still under pressure.
I would suggest trying a heavy buffer to keep your bolt locked up just a smidge longer and let the pressure drop before...
