I have a Yildiz over under imported by Academy Sports. It's a Turkish made shotgun with screw in chokes and very nice walnut stock and a 28" barrel. It patterns well too. I've only used it for dove hunting with skeet choke tubes. I think it's a dang good buy for less than five bills.
I was watching a " hunting show" on one of the outdoor channels and had to laugh. Some guys on a Texas ranch hunting whitetail and talking about all the modern equipment. A nice sniper rifle with a suppressor, 200 power scope with Lazer rangefinder bullet drop and wind compensator, wearing...
I'm done shooting rifles with recoil like 270 win and 7mm Rem Mag from bench except a few rounds to check zero. The last few loads I worked up for my 270 and 7 mag I used a lead sled. The old shoulder just can't take the repeated recoil. I still have an Elk on my hit list so I've got to...
I'm gonna stick with the 140 ABs but I will start moving the load up and see how it handles a little more pressure. Maybe try it with Grand. I also need to master the trigger. By the way, I also have an old Rem 740 in 244 Rem that I've had for a while and haven't even fired. It is vintage...
The old 760 exceeded my expectations. The 140 AB and H4350 grouped well at 11/2" three shots at 100 yds. I experienced some frustration zeroing the old VariX Ii 2x-7x Leupold. Played chase the zero for a while and finally got ot on. It shot well enough I'm gonna need to do some serious load...
Saw the post about the 7600 Rem in 270 win and was spurred to load some ammo for my 760 I bought in New Mexico a few years ago. I finally got a scope on it but haven't done anything else. I went out on a limb and did something different for me and used a factory crimp on the rounds. I have...
I shot the 140 Sierra in my 7mm rem mag and they usually left a large exit. I switched to the 140 solid base which left a less dramatic exit. Both had DRT effect.
Of the powders you listed, I'm partial to IMR 7828 ssc. I can get close to 3000 fps with a 150 partition from a 22" barrel. My loads start at 0.040 off the lands due to the size of a model 70 magazine box. Oal on my loads hover around 3.340 +- 0.005.
