RE: Are we overgunned? Was Jack O'Connor right?

Bigcountry, my good friend, you are wrong! You of all people should know that we have gone too far in promoting ultra boomers that most average folks can't shoot, can't reload effectively and...

new bullet?

RE: new bullet?

Sounds like a Scirocco knock-off to me. Hope it shoots better than a Scirocco.

Didn't Speer come out with something like this, too. Isn't the Deep Shock a boattailed bonded core bullet?

Taking my three kids to Africa this summer for a plains game hunt. They shoot .270s, but all my loads for their guns are with 130-rain bullets.

Need some suggested loads utilizing 150-grain...

RE: WHAT LOAD FOR FIRST ELK?

I double-dog, dad-gum guarantee you that 180-grain Speer Nitrex ammo will shoot as good or better than any other factory ammo in your '06 and do it with a bullet that was made with elk and the '06 in...

RE: Long COL loading

Hey BigCountry,

Somehow this story sounds awfully familiar to me. Hmmmmmmmmm.

BigBob is right -- there are few hard in fast rules when it comes to finding the right load for a rifle. You may...

300 WSM feed problems?

Views: 929

Posted By GAHUNTER

RE: 300 WSM feed problems?

A lot of gun writers theorize that it COULD have feeding problems, and maybe even SHOULD have feeding problems because of the rebated rim.

So far, I've not heard of anyone who actually HAS had any...

RE: New 300 WSM!

I am aghast! I had no idea that Savage was even chambering for this caliber yet. I knew they were chambering the Lazzeroni but didn't know about the WSM.

Enjoy hunting with your son. It is a...

CZ Bolt Action Rifles

I'm looking for rifle chambered in 375 H&H or possibly 416 Rigby. The Ruger M-77 is around $1,300. The Model 70 is the same, as are just about all other American "Safari" Grade rifles.

Then you...

RE: Gun Bows Up!

Billy,

This is a NEW rifle. It is not a sporterized military gun. Mauser is still in business and manufacturing sporting arms in Germany. This gun was manufactured as a 7mm mag. In fact, their...

RE: Gun Bows Up!

It's called the M-96 Mauser and it is no longer imported because Americans never took to the straight pull design. It came in most standard and magnum calibers and was advertised to be the strongest...

Gun Bows Up!

A former employee of mine was injured this morning when a two-year-old straight pull Mauser in 7mm Remington Mag blew apart at the receiver for no apparent reason.

RE: 270 WSM.

Yes you can duplicate factory 300 WSM loads, but it takes work! The secret is to use low ballistic coefficient bullets that allow more powder volume to be loaded. The Grand Slam by Speer and the...

RE: ranch hunts

Just what are you guys calling a "ranch hunt"? I think you are confusing high-fenced operations with working ranches. There is a huge difference.

A high-fence ranch is really a game farm where...

Headed back to Venice in the morning (Thursday, January 10). Can't stand to know that all those ducks are down there and no one (meaning me) is there to shoot them. I'm playing it smart this week,...

What's happened to Arkansas?

Up until five or six years ago, you could count on Arkansas for a good mallard shoot. Now it's hit or miss (more miss than hit). In fact, I haven't talked to anyone who went there recently (within...
