RE: WHERE DOES EVERYONE BUY THEIR AMMO?
my overall goal is to gain more yardage out of my rifle with less drop. i know you can sight in for ungodly ranges BUT i don't want to screw up my 100 yard range aswell. i know you can't have the best of both worlds...but i would like to find a better happy medium than what i have now.
i'm not a ballistic expert but common sense tells me that the lighter the projectile the faster/flatter it will shoot. however, by lightening up the projectile and making it faster/flatter...how much will this effect the "drop" of the projectile. overall goal: other than buying a range finding scope...i'm trying to take some guess work out of long shots. does this make sense to you? |

Cop,I have posted this picture many times to prove a point! I took these two within 3 hrs with .270 130gr NP... InRifle, CO in 1994. I have also taken many deer in FL with it.  |
RE: WHERE DOES EVERYONE BUY THEIR AMMO?
rebel, i know "other" rifles are out there that will do the job with smaller calibers. what i'm saying is, i don't own a .270...i own a .300 and i do not want to get rid of it and i can't afford another rifle right now. what i want to do is improve my .300 set up to where it does not have as much of the "rainbow" effect.

I wish I could help you on this, but I have no expirence with the .300's. You have to direct your quetions to MossyOak and Bigcountry, they reload for the .300 Rums. Start a newpost and type in:To mossyOak or BigCountry. They will be more than glad to help you! |

My Bad Cop, did'nt mean to put your Rifle down partner! I understand one has to use what they have, I justconsider a .300 Mag as a large animal round. Gosh, I know it will put down FL deer with your eyes closed.:D:D:D:D |
