Hi Folks, shortly I'll have to start reloading for this caliber. A buddy of mine just bought a brand new SAKO 75 Hunter in this caliber. I'd personally go with a 150 grs. NOSLER BT.... Shots will be taken in the 200/400 yds. range on European Stag (slightly smaller than Elk). What do you...

Hello every1, I am pretty sure a while ago I read (on a hunting magazine) of this guy with a 30-06 shooting ducks @ 30 yds. He said he reloaded (I do not recall in details) his brass with shots and using his rifle almost like a shotgun.... :? Could it be possible ? :shock...

Thanks for your reply Larry ! I guess I am pending towards the contender more... One more question for you.....are there any substantial differences in performance between the Blue and SS types ? I'd say no and I personally prefer the standard look of the Blue finish and wooden parts. I shot...

Hi Gents, I am seriously thinking of getting a Thompson Center handgun in .223 Rem caliber in a 14"/15" barrel (G2/Encore). Since I am new to this field, I'd like to hear your voices on which of the two you would choose for this setup and why. Also, do they use the same frame for...

Actually I hunt roe deer and mountain goats (chamois) and I might have some day a chance to hunt Stag (no Bear nor Moose :shock:) , so the .308 is fine for me, as far as knockdown power. Does any of you Guys have direct experience with this rifle ? Bluejay :wink:

Hi Folks, do you know if there's a substantial difference in performance for a 308 Winchester caliber, between a 20" and a 24" barrel ? I'd assume it shouldn't be too noticeable..... I have also read on a magazine that the gap between 308 Win and 30.06 Spr. gets closer when both...

Hello Gents, To give you an update..... I have found that if I tap the rifle firmly at the buttstock even just once, it helps the clicks to work perfectly, even when moved by 1 click only. I do this operation at the range only, as I am not gonna fool around with this practice in the hunting...

Thanks Guys, will do ! :wink: Gonna try the 300 meters at the range next week to see where the money is.... Cheers Bluejay

Hi Gents, could anyone point me out in the right direction to get the most information on the most "commonly" :wink: available wildcats for hunting purposes ? I am sure there is some nice website out there... Thanks a bunch Cheers Bluejay :wink:

What about a 6,5 mm - 100 grs. AB ? :wink:

Hi Folks, I have been playing around with my new Scope and it works fine. Hunting season is now quickly approaching (Sept.15) and I can't make my mind uo on which distance I should zero my rifle in. Should I zero my rifle @ 200 yds./meters (main cross, as suggested by the Leupold...

Hi Gents, I have purchased a Leupold VX-III BC and I am just trying to get accustomed to its features. In your opinion, do the two turrets need to be "run in" a little. I explain.....I had to fine tune my scope and moved a few clicks.... Unfortunately, it seems it takes two to three...

Thanks POP for taking the time. I forgot to mention the altitude was about 600 meters ASL (2000 feet?). I think you have missed out on one mark, probably the one between 277 and 477 :grin: I will follow your advise to take practical shots at some of those distances, but I think this is a...

Hi Gents, if some of you with knowledgeable background would be so kind to help me with this I'd greatly appreciate it. I have just been at the range (100 meters = 109 yds?) trying out my latest load and I tried the Boone & Crockett reticle to see the difference by using the 2nd...

Savage, my rifle is a Blaser K95 Break open, but the breach is as sturdy as a bolt action (see here http://www.blaser.de/K-95-Characteristi ... .html?&L=1 and check out "locking system" ), so no problems for spicy loads. Thank you All for your info. I will try it out and let you...

Thanks Randy, appreciate you taking the time to check on that. I was shooting at 2000 feet with an outside temperature around 50°F. I need to do some more testing, maybe changing the scope settings to the small triangle (I was using the biggest one). I'll keep you posted. Cheers :wink:

I went to the range and tried a test. With my rifle sighted in @ 190 yds. I got my 300 yds. mark to be +4 inch @ 100 yds. and my 400 mark at +6 inch. Considering I am shooting .264 Nosler BT 100 grs. @ 2900 fps (BC 0.350) where do you think my bullets are zeroed for the 300 and 400 yds. marks ...

Hi Gents and firstly Happy Easter to all of you. I need some advice on Load data for the caliber in the subject, using 100 grs. Nosler Bullet. This caliber is quite similar to the .260 Remington, and just a bit less capacity than the 6,5 swedish. I have been using Norma 204 powder with good...

I wanted to post a couple of pics that show the new scope on my K95 but I do not know how to do it :cry: Need some help, please :? [/img]

Just curious on your experience. :wink: I shoot a 6,5x57 R Mauser caliber in a K95 BLASER Single shot (1:8 twist) and so far I have tried several combinations for the best possible result in the hunting field. NOSLER 100 grs. BT - Very accurate and flies well. Feels the wind over 200 yds...
