308 338 22mag or 12 gauge

Back in the 80’s I had a ruler 22-250 fifty loved it with bull barrel shot great I made up some sizzling loads for it the trouble was I couldn’t get the bullets out far enough into the lands so I started shooting it single shot and hah same thing happened bullet got stuck. Got a cleaning rod one...

I also live in Florida and my to best shooters are 308. I’ve had great luck 4064 imr one rifle 43.5 gr. Another 44.5. They both been on numerous hunts in Idaho montana and Georgia and have shot extremely well all places and every year when I pull them out in sept and go to the range they are...

To sound really old fashion anybody thought about the one round that has killed probably more deer whitetail and muley’s and other game 270 win plenty of light rifles tons of loads for them not much kick my son uses it for mule deer and whitetail I use like 150gr. Nosler partitions and 140gr...

I’m with some other people in this conversation I’ve had luck with 7828ssc and 4350 in my 300wm and 300wms using nosler accubond, Barnes tax, and partitions but I hunt, don’t know about the 1000 yd stuff

I agree that the cost of things for shooting and hunting has skyrocketed in the last 40 years. I’m older now still hunt have fewer rifles, down to 5. I don’t have 5000 dollar guns with 3000 dollar scopes, nor 2000 dollar range finders. The way I have learned to get by this high dollar drain is...

I agree with the fellow that said he like partitions I also do for hunting will use the accubonds also but I find it funny that for last 40 years everybody has tried to pattern their bullets after them, my guess is because they work and I’ve never had problems getting them to shot well if fact...

Two of my favorite rifles are in 308, an old browning lever, and a sako. Love the 308 it is so versatile I’ve loaded down to like 130 g bullets up to 180g. It’s easy to load not finicky about powders I like the imr 4064 43.5g to 44.5g, nosler partitions or Sierra 165g. Deer, pig, I’ve loaded it...

I’ve had my best with bullet weights between 180 and 190 gr bullets accubond and 190 long distance. Being a some what stock rifle with trigger work and brake added. It seems the case doesn’t work as well for heavier bullets like a reg 300wm which has a much bigger case and will hold more...

Congrats really nice bear like the color

Good luck sounds like you have enough cannons without wheels for safety now focus on the big boy

I also have a sako 308 and tried all different loads and bullets I’ve always used nosler partitions a lot but want to try some new fancy super fast accurate bullets I tried Barnes,Berger,hornaday, Sierra and nosler. As much as I wanted to use something different nothing came close to the...
