I think the scope of the week on my 300 RUM is a Nikon Monarch BDC 2,5-10. I juggle optics in it. Had 2.5-10’s, 3,5-14s, to 2-10 VX5s on it. Just depends on what I hunt and how close my shot is. Can’t see more than 200 yards in my woods so high powder optics aren’t needed accept for “one...
No idea, but I’ll be curious to find out too. Looks like somebody did a stab crimp in the lower base instead of using either of the cantilevers. Either that or somebody put canna levers in the bullet with a machine and then also a stab cream to try and lock that lead in the place. Looks like a...
Yep great deal. I saw them over the summer on the shelf for $28.99 at Fleet Farm. I figured I had too many projectiles sitting around not using to buy more.
I don’t know if green dots available, but I ended up with an 8 pound jug with the old paper cardboard tube. Seems to be a universal powder for low velocity loading for 35 whelen and then everything else.
I haven’t had an issue with Nosler blems. I have some at home currently in quite a few different configurations. I have some horn ones that were smaller diameter than factory though. I tell you if you buy them just pull a caliper out and check the diameters. To be fair I’ve had non-blems under...
My 7600 35 whelen is on its 3rd optic. Barrel came loose twice and killed the Nikons from vibration. Trying a vortex 2.5-10 30m viper on it now. All of 6 shots with it installed so far. Time will tell. At least the pump slide is now locked in place with blue loc tite along with the uncle mikes...
The vx5 2-10 they sent me to replace it is pretty awesome. Knock on wood. I did notice the finish was coming off around the eye adjustment bell right out of the box, but I wasn’t gonna send back another optic until I had a chance to test it. I’ll probably touch it up with a marker and call it a...
Those are the same but three in a row that they sent me that were all defective. Probably a great optic. If it would’ve adjusted in the crosshairs, we screwed up two times in a row.
Thanks to an awesome member here that ran quick loads for me. Apparently, my load is faster than what I thought it was. I would guess loading it shorter at 3.030” vs the listed 3.040” length on Hodgens load data website must have gave it a velocity gain. Great to hear. Call have to run it across...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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.
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...
