RE: Nicest Sounding Cartridge

Loudest and by far the most obnoxious gun Ive heard was a barrett m82a1 with cheap south african 647gr ammo(guess the guy couldnt afford to load for it after he sunk the 9 grand into it). It was a...

RE: 22 Cal To Shoot Deer

This seems to be a thread that has been discussed at length on these boards. Remember that 80% of the people on the board think that a deer has armor plating like a panzer tank and that anything...

RE: College

My advise would be to choose something that you think you can deal with, not what you would do for free. Think of it this way, every hunter would like to be a wildlife biologist, game warden, etc......

RE: Hunting Pistol

I second the vote for the freedom. Comparing it and a ruger is like comparing a corvette to a geo. If you want a handgun with a 15 inch barrel (encore), why not just carry a rifle?

RE: Recoil Question

The computation for a blackpowder gun is the same as for any other gun. The difference lies within the fact that 100 grains of blackpowder is measured by volume, not weight like smokeless powder. So...

RE: remington reduced recoil rounds

The 7-08 is just as good as either the 270 or the 30-06. A 308 would allow you a greater bullet selection even if you dont reload with the same recoil as the 7-08, and is comparable to both the 270...

RE: semi auto choice for swamp hunting deer.

You will be best served shooting 20-30 yards with a short barreled shotgun or a revolver. Theres no need for a scoped rifle at that short of range, they will do more harm than good.

RE: Which .40 Cal Rifle?

If your going to go as high as 458 cal then the 458 lott is a nice one, and you can shoot 458 winnies in it. The 45-70 with 540gr garrett hammerheads makes for quite a powerful little package too....

RE: Velocity verses Energy. (the debate)

This debate could be solved just by using momentum instead of velocity or kinetic energy.

The 17 was compared to the 44 mag earlier. The 44 kills a hog quicker:
Mometum=mass*velocity

RE: best deer gun ?

A 243 surpassing a 30-06 at long range?

A 243 with proper bullet and loading versus a 30-06 with crappy low BC bullet yes. But head to head both with similarly matched loadings, not hardly.

RE: .223 over 4100 fps

Id suggest you get yourself a chronograph if you are serious about shooting. Your 223 is not moving a 40 at 4100. You mentioned there being no advantage of a swift when you can get the same...

RE: Anyone shoot 55gr bullets in .243?

Sorry I do not have any load data for the 243 win. What I can say is that the 55gr BT is an absolute beast on varmints out to 400 yards. The bullet has a really low BC so it loses velocity fast and I...

RE: revolver vs T/C Encore

No question here. If you have the money get a freedom model 83 454 or 475. Second best would be a ruger blackhawk 44 or 45.

Im not fond of the encore due to the size. With a 15 inch barrel, the...

RE: 30-06 or 7mm Mag

Of those two I would go with the 30-06. Better yet, get a 308. It will do as good of a job as either of the 2 you mentioned, and do it with less powder, recoil, and noise.

RE: Buying a new rifle...Question on barrel length

Minimal velocity loss... around 60 fps. Get the 243, it has better bullet selection than the 25-06 and will do the job just as well with less powder.
