    Balistic tip vs v-max, any bullet tests?

    I always hear the horrer stories about the poly tipped bullets and their explosive tendencies on big game. I can't believe that the manufacturers would ever produce a bullet for big game without thoroughly testing them. I'm shooting a 7-08 with 140 grain bullets so velocities won't be super...

    .338 WM & 225 partitions for big bears?

    Thanks for all your input guys. I was certain there wouldn't be a problem, but it's nice to hear other opinions. Alaska, I didn't intend on using the .225 Hornady Interlocks for bear hunting, although a buddy of mine and I have used them a lot on big game up to elk without any problems. I like...

    .338 WM & 225 partitions for big bears?

    My Ruger 77 in .338 WM loves the 225 grain bullets and my two favorites are the Hornady Inerlocks and Nosler Partitions. I may have a chance to hunt Brownies in Alaska next year and I really don't want to start messing with new loads for a 250 grain bullet. I'm hopeing that the 225 Partitions at...

    free float barrel?

    I have shot it some already and I was not impressed, best groups were only about 2" with either factory ammo, (tried both Winchester Super X 180 grain Power-Point and the Federal Premium 150 grain Ballistic tips), and reloads, so far, have been 165 grain in Hornady InterLoc and Interbond and...

    free float barrel?

    I bought one of the Wally World Winchester model 70 black shadow rifles in .300WSM and the synthetic stock is tight to the barrel. Should I remove the action and sand out the barrel channel with a dowel wrapped in sandpaper to free float the intire length of the barrel? Has anyone else had this...

    165 or 180 in the .300WSM?

    Looking for advice on which bullet weight to use in my model 70, .300WSM. 165grain Partitions or the 180 grain, either in the Partition or the AccuBound? This will be used primarily for Blacktail and Mule deer only with the possible exception of a Caribou hunt in Canada. Long range shots are...

    20 Cal Bullets

    yes, I would like to see Nosler make a .20 cal. bullet. Maybe a couple! Something around 40 grain, with a high BC and sturdy enough for coyote hunting. Most of the bullets available today are just to fragile for a shoulder hit on larger predators like coyotes. And than an explosive one for...
