I have a .300 RUM and it shoots better than I had hopped right out of the box. But now that the ammo is SOOOO expensive, I don't shoot it that much anymore. I used Ed Presswitch's load data with the 180 grain Berger VLD match bullet at a hair under 3,300 FPS! I won more money with that gun-load...

Dear Silvershade; The 30-06 is perfectly fine for any game on the north American Continent, assuming you do your bit and put the right bullet in the right spot! These days, I figure the 7.62X51 NATO-.308 Winchester is even better because it has less recoil and that makes it easier to practice...

Congrats! In my youth, before the Army taught me how to shoot better, I used Remington factory 140 Gr Core-Lokt 264WinM ammo to collect three young to medium sized elk, the farthest at about 400 yards that bucked once, ran about 50 yards and died. My first and still vivid memory of elk. I...

Yes, I had a case of Yugo 7.62X25 ammo that every other case spit the neck and a tin of Ruski 7.62X51 that stuck every eighth to tenth round, or so, in every gun I tried. But I've never had a custom hand load show the slightest signs of pressure. I either got them out of books, of the guy who...

Varmint at about 600-650 Meters as ranged by the Leatherwood scope, .308 Win. Elk at about 425 long paces 7 mm Rem. Mag. I do not count prairie dogs as on a good day we might lob 4-6000 rounds at them and we certainly do get some hits way out there! I mean really, really way out there. But not...

I do not know how fast your MV is, and I do not have a clue how thin the jacket is on your bullet, but Varmint bullets tend to have very thin jackets. That makes them explode on contact yielding shallow wounds at speeds over 2200-2500 FPS. So I would try to place the bullet behind the shoulder...

Me too! Please write if you have a lead.

What's so bad about liking factory guns? The Remington Sendaro, Stainless, Fluted, HB-26 goes for about $850 plus shipping and transfer fees, or about 910 out the door. In .300RUM it will run with the big dogs and mine will launch the 190 grain Berger VLDs at 3280 FPS into 3/4" at 100 yards...

What, or who is a "Sherman"?

I like, no love "Fire breathing Carts"! PS. What is the parent case for the .26 Nosler and how much powder does it hold?

I like this man's thinking!

I live on a DV Pension and can not afford to spend money on "sprinkles"! I've also learned that it's not the tool but the user that makes the difference. Way back when I showed up at the long and unk range meets out on the flats east of the strawberry reservoir with a Rem 700 Sendaro and beat...

My Rem 700 will not fit such long cartridges in the magazine and thus they are out of the question! Back in the '60s you were lucky to get 3070 with the 140 grain SMK seated so it will load in the box. I have no doubt that new powders will do amazing things, but with slow burning powders that do...

I think that is great, but I know that the .284 nearly killed Winchester and that early .284 Model 70s could not compare, as I said, with out of the box -700s. But you have a Remington 700 with a custom BBL, was it custom mounted and hand lapped? How about we talk out of the box rifles with Farm...

If I can get a rifle for under $1000 out of the box that shoots factory ammo into 1.5" at 100 yards and some hand loads into half that, why would I ever buy a custom gun?
