I've seen advertised "sub" bullets for 26 and 27cal...........don't remember the weight or where it was from, but subs in those calibers...........i just had to laugh

i'll be 59 this year and will have my last 2 (twins) graduating in 4 years from hs. not 1 of my 6 kids are married and so probably won't be around to see or hold any of my grandkids if any ever get married and probably won't be there for that either. no rush! enjoy the time with the...

Are Republicans really getting out voted, not showing up to vote and/or the liberal just visiting in the areas that cast the most electoral votes? Those who vote left and act like all is great need to wake up and see that this country is tumbling down thru their hatred votes! They make...

My 1st ever firearm purchase was a 629 8 3/8 44mag ('84) that I had for almost 20 years:(. With that in mind my 1st AR ('14 or '15) was a S&W (viking) and has still been a favorite to shoot! Next I went and bought a M&P 1.0 9mm 4.25" in '14 or '15 that has been a 100% reliable firearm...

I'd go 260ai for the ease of it as all 3 are in the same max pressure range. The 260 will let you seat out further depending on mag length. For a little extra kick go 6rem ai it to 26cal.

The 2 on the left are the asc and LaRue. The difference is where the weld is (asc down the back and LaRue down the edge of the bolt catch rib). The middle pic is with an asc 6.8spc mag where it's folded and spot welded down the front (as in the right pic). The asc isn't as well built as...

I'll post some pics

although the capacity is less, it'll be nice to get that extra length for match bullets. too bad it's folded and tacked unlike being welded at the bolt catch area. if done that way you could get the extra length of the unnecessary metal (double wall) fold.

Let us know where you moved to as I sometimes get to NM. I don't hunt, but know a few in that state that likes to. 1 is a military vet that doesn't get around very well, but doesn't give up when he gets a chance to hunt elk. Sometimes he enlist help from local high school kids that he...

The 264wm was essentially new (less than 2 boxes of ammo shot thru) before I started shooting it. The 270win is a Rem, but unsure if it's a 700 or another 7?? model? He bought it in early to late 60s as best I can guess? He had another Rem 270win (unsure of which model) that he couldn't...

Trying to get comparable bullets across 4 calibers can be difficult. FMJ's are out, sst's are a no-go, target bullets in the same brand is as close as 1 could get? 28cal is 1 I didn't have nor care for, but now I have 2 (7-08, 7saum). All I need now is to get a 277fury or 270-08 to have 4...

I could use a change for sure right now! Now to convince my neighbors to go somewhere else!

I know people in Santa Fe, Ruidoso and Alamogordo NM and some have shot elk in those areas.

I miss my 629 more than any other gun!

I have 5 asc 308 mags that give longer than normal coal's, but have 1 fault (not asc's) when it comes to lower fitment. Some lowers it will not latch in to (aero precision for 1), but is easily remedied. 1/80th or .0125" is all the difference for it to work. Probably not going to be an...
