You have a point however if the rifle groups well then indeed one of the shots could be from a cold barrel. I use a three shot group.

jdmason480, Here is data on your load using your velocity, the distance and the speed the animal was running. Trajectory Output Input Data Manufacturer: Nosler Description: .284 dia. 160gr. Accubond™ Muzzle Velocity: 3350.0 ft/s Chronograph Distance: 10.0 ft Sight Height: 1.50 in Sight...

mj30wilson, I doubt very much that they will interchange. Why do you ask?

That was a heck of a shot! How much did you lead it? Was it going sideways or running away?

old # 7, Your information is quite unusual. What bullet, rifle and cartridge are you shooting? For instance I have found that plastic meplats do not deform any significant amount when fired in normal rifles where the bullet cannot move that far to the end of the box. Another thing is that...

MX Racer, After spending on that Nosler rifle I would put a nice scope on it. If you don't have one to switch look at the Zeiss Conquests. In my experience, and I have ten Leu's and now seven Zeiss, that the Conquests have superior resolution and far better glare control than the old...

steve4102, Thats fabulous shooting from all your rifles if its at 100 yds. They don't carry Ramshot Hunter here and I have many powders now. Kind of wish I could try a pound. The height of your groups is a little low for where I hunt. I prefer the impact at 100 yds to reflect at least a...

Of course some change in seating depth may improve the accuracy. The greatest improvements in accuracy seem to come from changes in the rifle like bedding etc. You might change the bullet itself. Those groups are not that bad unless your shooting really far.

The twist of 1-10" in Savages 7mm WSM should do fine with regular 160 gr 7mm bullets. I am not sure about all copper ones however if there are any that long made from just copper. Here is some twist data from the Savage site. 308 Win, 7mm WSM, 300 WSM(1 in 10") 270 WSM (1 in 11")...

To all, There is data that says soft bullets stop deer faster than hard bullets.

onlybrowning, Bring a screwdriver that fits the guard screws to the range. The first thing that I try is to loosen the rear guard screw. If there is a middle guard screw loosen that also. If it shoots now it may mean that the bedding is not even and the rear screws are bending the action...

Powerstroke, Just like you I discovered that I can see and aim better with a Conquest over a Leupold. After starting with Lymans from the 50's I went to the Leupolds and got 10 of them. Now I have seven Zeiss scopes. When the Conquests came out I got a 3-9 a few years ago now and I was...

Powerstroke, What made you select the Conquest over the Leupold?

Your reasoning is correct however the differences are not that great on both velocity change from barrel length or the choice of a 308 or 30-06. You seem to be looking for a short handy rifle and if you have handled the Stutzen that your talking about and you like it then get it. I would go...

This is close to what I want which is a sleek lighter deer bullet for the .358 Win. A 180 gr would be good for me. Not sure I want Accubond construction.

hotwoodt, When I first learned that Russians were making and selling sporting guns I gave them the benefit of the doubt and in fact I was interested. The first one I handled was the side by side shotgun. It was so rough that I passed on it however the price was low. Then the side by side...

.22 LR .223, .22-250 or 243. Varmints with ricochet resistant bullets 7mm WSM or similar for longer ranges. .308 or similar for lightweight woods and mountain rifle. Other big bores for heavier game. 20 ga for upland-grouse. 12 ga all around

The so called improved chambers are a hobby extension. In terms of a significant velocity gain most of what little there is comes from borderline pressures. I have the 'improved' chambers on belted, rimless and rimmed cases and while it was interesting nothing was gained and some time was...

A pre 64 M70 264 WM Westerner went on Gunbroker last week. It was the one in AK and it had scratches on the stock. I pointed it out to someone on another forum but I don't think he bid on it. It started around $700 and went for about $770! I already have one. Otherwise...
