125 Grain 30/06 load well suited to deer?

RE: 125 Grain 30/06 load well suited to deer?

I didn't say they wouldn't kill a deer, I said it wasn't a pretty sight and I still maintain it is not a good logical choice for a deer bullet, especially in an '06 sized gun.

I do like Sierra...

RE: 44 Mag Bullet diameter

As I said above, this gun has won silhouette matches with Keith style cast bullets with gas checks and ALOX, BUT I don't want to cast bullets. I have too many other things going on and I just won't...

Razorhead,

No you are wrong there. Fastex bonds at the molecular level applied to both the barrel and the bullet, the barrel will hold its coating for up to several hundred rounds. It is a...

RE: 125 Grain 30/06 load well suited to deer?

I can't think of any situationi in which you would use a hollow point in an '06 for deer, of any bullet weight. I knew a guy once who shot deer with 120gr hollow point in his 7mm Mag. Sure it...

RE: Nicest Sounding Cartridge

The .243 Winchester is rated as one of the best little deer killers out there. I've seen a good number of deer, both mulies and whitetails killed with this little gun. And in a heavy barrel varmint...

RE: moly damage to your barrel

Try using a product called Fastex if you want a cleaner alternative. Fastex was developed in Europe for precision machinery. They now make a line of gun products including a product for the barrel...

44 Mag Bullet diameter

Any thoughts on .429 vs. .430 bullet diameter in jacketed bullets?

Also I treat my bullets with Fastex which bonds a layer of lubricant 1 molecule thick on the bullet. I have used this product...

7-30 Waters

I know this is not the correct forum but since several of you have asked about my 7-30 Waters I thought I would go ahead and show it off. I like it a lot. Currently I am using a Nosler Balistic Tip...

RE: Jacket Bullet for the 44 Mag

I agree on the cast cg bullets. That's primarily what has been shot out of this gun for years. My rational for jacketed bullets is that I don't have time to cast bullets and my shooting is going to...

RE: Jacket Bullet for the 44 Mag

Our deer hunting camp is all 7-30 Waters Contender hunters except for one guy that has an Encore in 7mm-08. I agree that the 7mm-08 is probably the perfect whitetail cartridge BUT.... the Encore is...

RE: Jacket Bullet for the 44 Mag

Yes. But it's got a lot more zip than the 30-30. I hunted with a 7mm Mag for years and I'm still very pleased with this little cartidge.

RE: Jacket Bullet for the 44 Mag

John,

The 7-30 is great whitetail gun. I'm adding the 44 to my arsenal but the 7-30 is my primary deer gun. I hunted with a 7mm mag for years in open country and yes it will kill them a long...

RE: WHAT'S EVERYONES FAVORITE 30-06 LOAD

I handloaded and hunted with the 30-06 for many years.

While 4350 is a good powder in any caliber we found 4064 to be a little beter in the '06.

Also Sierra 150 gr bullets were tops. Just...

Remington? Really? The only Remington bullets I ever shot were in my .17 Remington, and they were good bullets. Looking at the pictures of the Remington they do not look as clean and sharp as the...
