Yeah, I plan on neck shots on standing deer anyway with this rifle. Accuracy is scary-good, was wondering about disintegration factor. Has anyone noticed if the bt and the ABs shoot the same? I see where there is a 180 gr AB available in .338. I bought this rifle to shoot heavier bullets but...
Have used it on several...I used Barnes X 210 grainers right at 3000 fps. They go in .375, come out .375 and the deer tips over. Not a lot of mess either...
While visiting a local gunshop last week I found a couple of boxes of Federal Premium .338 win mag 180gr ballistic tips. They were discontinued by Federal and the gunshop was blowing them out. I had never shot any bullets that light out of my gun so I bought them out of curiousity. Figured...
I used the .300 win mag for a bunch of deer here in Michigan, shots being from 33 yards to 175 yards. I too found the 150s to make a mess so I switched to 190s and 200s. I also began to take more neck shots when possible. Even when I had to take a heart/lung shot, there wasnt that much damage...
Just wondered if anyone has ever tried these. I have had exceptional accuracy and performance with the Hornady SST .40 cal bullet in my .45 Omega, but have always wondered about the Barnes muzzleloader bullets.
OK, I am sure that this caliber has been discussed here but I have some questions about it. I am actually considering getting a rifle chambered for something other than a belted mag. I love my .375 H&H, my 7mm STW, and my .338 win mag but for some reason I am looking for something different...
When I was 13 I saved my pennies and bought (had my dad do the paperwork) my first deer rifle. I had wanted a lever gun for the longest time. Now, you must realize that EVERYBODY had 30-30s so I had to get something cooler. I studied Marlin and Winchester catalogs, looked at ballistic charts...
Just got back from a session at the range with my TC Omega .45. Shot a number of 4-shot groups with triple-7 FFFg. As usual my groups were nice and tight about 1 inch to 1.25 inches. After the 5th group, it opened up to about 2 inches. I figured it was dirty so I quit shooting it. When I...
Last week we finally got a break in the weather here in Michigan. I grabbed my Weatherby Sub-MOA stainless/synthetic in .338 and hit the local range. My rifle loves Federal Premium 225 AB so I grabbed a couple of boxes to burn up. Anyway about halfway through the first box, I noticed that my...
Woke up the other day and decided that I just HAVE to have a 10mm. Not Glock fan, stainless Colt Deltas in good condition are over priced. Has anyone had any experience with the Eclipse 10mm? I have shot a number of Kimber .45s and they have all been a joy to shoot. I like the 3-dot sights...
I bought the Omega Stainless/Synthetic in .45 a couple of years ago. I put a Nikon 3-9X40 on it and have been very happy. I use loose triple seven 3f powder and with 110 grains and a Hornady 200 gr SST bullet I get 1" at 100 yards. What I really like is the clean up with the triple seven and...
For the rifle, thats easy...My Weatherby SUB-MOA stainless/synthetic in .338 win mag. It has a Leupold VX-3 2.5-8x on it and shoots the 225 AB load from Federal into a nice cloverleaf. That is my all-around rifle/load for anything in N. America including killer woodchucks...
