    Thompson Center coming back

    My Omega shoots ridiculously accurate with 150 grain of tripple 7 pellets and the original 300 grain shock wave. First three shot group all went in a .2” hole at 100 yards! I bought a 2.5-10 Nikon Monarch when they first offered the BDC reticle. I had to call Nikon to get the drop measurements...

    Lipsey's Ruger 77 in 35 Whelen! (not buying it)

    That’s the factory laminate stock set from around 04’ era. The gun came with a composite set, which I put aside. My dad’s 35 Rem carbine back in 04’ I believe had a wood set and I swapped it at Lypsy’s or Gryce’s, remember which one I got it from for him, $80 bucks to swap to the gray laminate...

    Lipsey's Ruger 77 in 35 Whelen! (not buying it)

    My whelen is the grey laminte carbine. It currently has a vortex 2.5-10 30mm on it and uncle Mike’s swivels. I have a grey laminte twin to it in 35 rem. Both limited runs. The long barreled is my 84’ 30-06. Was bought brand for me new back then. It now has a DNZ mount and 2-10 vx5. Sure...

    165gr vs 180gr Partition

    That explains why the 180s blow through everything even when I use cup and core and also ballistic tips in my 300 RUM at almost point blank directly below my tree stand. I remember shooting a nice big 10 pointer directly below my stand running by with a ballistic tip out of my 300 rum. I got rid...

    308 Winchester 165 gr Solid Base Whitetail Country

    Beats doxycycline I’m on because I got limes disease for the second time the other day.

    308 Winchester 165 gr Solid Base Whitetail Country

    I just like thanks for the heads up. Looks like they’re pretty proud of the blems. Natchez shooters I see have my 180 grain .308 BTs for $23.99. I have too much of that stuff laying around already that I’ll never shoot up. Maybe I’ll have to horse trade for some of the stuff I’ve got laying around.

    Winchester primer

    Took about three months to get a check back from them last time when I had some defective 22 WMR ammo. That was probably 5 to 6 years ago.

    Winchester primer

    Must be nice. I’m going on close to three months now since I sent back a box of a 10000 defective 22 ammo and still waiting for a refund check.

    308 Winchester 165 gr Solid Base Whitetail Country

    I’d like to see a side-by-side test next to the partition, occupant and ballistic tip of the same velocity and weights. That bullet sure looks stout like a partition without the partition in the back! It looks tougher than most of Noslers other offerings but also sheds lead from the tip while...

    308 Winchester 165 gr Solid Base Whitetail Country

    Tough bullet! Looks like a penatrator to me.

    165gr vs 180gr Partition

    I borrowed my 30-06 to a buddy at a game farm about 25 years ago and he shot a huge Russian boar. No idea on the weight but it was huge. I would say it was way over a couple hundred pounds. He 180 grain Accubond I had loaded up. That pig literally lifted off the ground and slammed to the...

    165gr vs 180gr Partition

    Used the .308 180’s in my 30-06 at 2650 fps load data. Don’t know what the time if that was for a 24 or 26 inch barrel but I was shooting it out of a 22 inch. I also did a max load in my 375 rum with the 260 grain versions. I still have some of the 260’s left. I assume I have some of the 180s as...

    165gr vs 180gr Partition

    Curious of where your shot placement is, high shoulder I’m guessing? All mine ran a football field length with heart and lung broadside shots. A high shoulder hit and they dropped but normally need to be finished off.

    165gr vs 180gr Partition

    Did it get caught in one of the rear quarter leg bones?

    165gr vs 180gr Partition

    I’m curious to what what your shot placement was, how far the shot was, the muzzle velocity, and why it stopped inside the animal? I’ve never caught any .308 diameter bullets in deer throughout the decades accept for a a couple of completely disintegrated Sierra 150 grain boat tails that...

    165gr vs 180gr Partition

    I would guess if I switched from 180 grain to 130 grain in .308 there would be a much more different outcome. I would assume I’d get some quick expansion and energy dump with a lot lighter projectile pushed much faster. Just not willing to take that chance after the poor experiences I’ve had...

    165gr vs 180gr Partition

    That’s why I don’t like accubonds. They don’t open up and dump enough energy for a DRT unless you brake shoulders. Fifty yards is too far for me. I’ve shot hundreds of deer with a plain old 180 grain core loct and 99.9% drop on their tracks. Had a few travel 15 to 20 yards at the most. Shot...
