RE: Sierra Gamekings Opinions

I find myself shooting a lot of Speer bullets lately. They seem to be no nonsense bullets that perform well on game and are very accurate. I have been shooting them in several calibers.

RE: 7MM Remington Magnum

I have been shooting 7mm RM since 1967 when I was living in Alaska. Most of the big game animals I have killed in my lifetime have been taken with the round. My Dall sheep at about 600 yards was the...

RE: good gun and caliber?

I like your idea of a 7MM. But then I am prejudice.

I also like your choice of the Rem Sendero. Out of the box it is a great shooter.

You might consider the .338 RUM since you want to...

RE: Good All Around Gun ,From Antelope To Moose

RE: 7.62 and 308 HELP!!

The 7.62 Nato ammo is the same as .308.

You can shoot interchangeably military 7.62 and commercial .308 provided that the cartridge over all length (C.O.A.L.) is the same.
