RE: Hornady Heavy mag Ammo

I have tried this load in three different 338's one shoots the load very accurately putting three shots in less than an inch. One shoots the load at about 1.75 inches and the other looks really...

RE: what is your favorite yote buster???

To iowabuckslayer
My 225 is a model 70 winchester and it has a fully floated barrel. It appears to have come from the factory that way. It carries an old weaver k6 scope and has ridden many miles...

RE: what is your favorite yote buster???

225 Win in a Model 70 Winchester, 222 Rem Mag in a savage 111gns, if pelts are worth anything a 17 Rem in 700 BDL works great.

RE: asking advice on buying a good rifle

I like Rugers myself, but if I were to go back to your age and situation, I would buy the savage package gun in 270 win. I just sighted in a savage tonight for a man. It was so simple. 6 shots to...

RE: deer rifle ?

Will a 222 kill a deer? You bet! But I hope that I will always be able to stand the recoil of a 243 because I feel that it is the minimum cartridge that I would ever want to take deer hunting.

RE: I recently picked up a .243 for deer hunting due too some shoulder trouble.

This may sound crazy, but given the parameters you have just listed, I would load up some 100 grain semi pointed sierras at 2500 fps and go out and shoot deer. This load should kill deer all day...

RE: Decided on a Savage 111FCXP3

I have both and both are very good calibers. If I had to make a choice, I would still pick the 30-06. The future possibilities with the bullet choices available make this round a sure winner. It...

RE: Ruger M77 Accuracy...Still an issue?

I will confess up front that I am a huge Ruger Fan. I love the M77 and especially the #1 which can be very tempermental. I have had numerous M77s over the last 28 years. Some were tack drivers and...

RE: Magnum snobbery?

I just can't seem to get it right no matter who I talk to. I love to shoot the 218 Bee and the 22 Hornet almost as much as the 338 Win mag, 7MMSTW, and my 458 Win Mag. No matter who I try to engage...

RE: What are the FFL and shipping rules for primers?

RE: 25-06

The 25-06 is a great deer rifle as well as a great antelope rifle. I love to use my hunting load with 117 grain bullets to shoot praire dogs at fairly long ranges from 250 to 500 yds. It is a great...

RE: Best Antelope rifle???

I wish I could offer an original thought, but a 25-06 with a 3.5 x 10 Leupold is pretty tough to beat. Not to mention it will make a great praire dog gun the rest of the year. Use your regular...

RE: I need help deciding what calibre to get, .22-250 or .223?

For high volume shooting the 223 is hard to beat. No other centerfire can be fed as cheaply with over the counter ammo. The 22-250 would be next in line as winchester offers 40 round boxes for a...

RE: Caliber for Coyotes?

The 458 win mag is extremley effective on coyotes but is a real bear to shoot from the sitting position when calling. This being the case I usually use a 222 or 223.
