My dad had three centerfire rifles in his entire lifetime. A Savage 99 in 300 Savage. Being left handed he couldn't work the safety on the lever so he sold it. Next up was a 740 in .280 Remington that he bought around 1960 and shot until he retired it in 1990 due to a mechanical problem with the...

I run 165 BTs in mine for deer. Keep piles of them around the loading bench and use the same bullet in a 308.

The only serious meat loss I've encounter was with a 280 Rem and the old school 140BT. Heart shot a buck broadside at around 120 yards and the core and jacket separated. The core ended up going out through the top of the body between the shoulder blades taking a fist sized chunk of spine and...

Nice looking rifles both ! I don't own a CDL but find myself admiring them every time at at the local gun shop.

Awesome shooting ! I'm with ya on the Tikkas. Have two now, 223 and a 308.

Thanks Dr Mike. Yes I was using both the ocular lens and the parallax adjustment, just couldn't get the cross hairs where I could see them distinctly until I donned the readers and then it was crystal clear.

Awright, here's the deal. I do not wear glasses for distance correction but I have to have reading glasses to see up close. Cheapos from the dollar store and 1.25 correction factor. Creedmore and I made a scope trade and I ended up with a 4-14x50 Leupy that has a B&C reticle in it. Last...

Congratulations Scotty !!! Thanks for your service.

I've got a few but trying to feed two different rifles. The 280AI and an STW

Where are they ? Can't find anybody that has them in stock . Deer season's only 6 months away and I've got load development to do :mrgreen: Seems my 7STW really likes them.

Only two on the list. An 03A3 that hasn't been sporterized. Another Garand from CMP chambered in 308 Don't need either, including 22s and ARs I have 30 rifles already.

My Rem 700 308 has .250 freebore in it and it shoots very well with 175 SMKs and 45 grs of Varget. Hunting load is 46 grs Varget and a 165 NBT. Both are sub moa at 200

I waterfowl hunt alot and have three primary guns. A Benelli SBE, a Beretta 390 and a Browning Gold 10. For geese I prefer reloads using Hevi Shot 2s through an IMod choke in the Benelli or the Beretta. I have killed Greater Canadas and Sandhill cranes cleanly with the 3 inch Hevi-Shot reloads...

Welcome aboard ! I shoot a 264 Winnie as well and it's a screamer. I'm running a 28 inch barrel and 130 Accubonds leave at 3350 fps. Shot two deer on my lease in Mo with it. One an 8 point at 40 yards and the other a big bodied 10 at 85 yards. Both were neck shots and dropped in their tracks...

Just sent him a text, says he's getting 2950 out of his 26 inch McGowen and the accuracy is good. He has past the 40 year mark though and doesn't remember the dope on the load though :roll: Said he didn't know which is worse RADD or CRS :lol:

Not yet but I've got H1000, Fed 215s and 168 LRABs on the loading bench. Creedmore has run them in his rifle w good results using H4831 and a 215.

I've got a T3 lite in 223 that is scary accurate. I bought a T3 lite in 308 cause I'm a 308 fan as well. Working up a load for it now. It's short light and handy. Figured it would make a perfect tree stand rifle. Recoil is not unbearable but you do know you've shot it :) It feels like it kicks...

If she shoots as good as she looks, you're in like Flynn ! That's a gorgeous rifle in a superb caliber ! Congrats !

Dan just some stuff I threw together in a couple of hours. 51 grs H380 and a 140 Sierra GK BTSP. Not a powder I plan to use in this rifle. Happen to always keep a couple lbs in the locker because it meters beautifully and I don't have to weigh charges if I need to load a bunch of ammo in a...

Bought a barrel off a member of this forum used. It's an 8 twist tube that I'm hoping will be a perfect match w the 168LRAB . Had my smith screw it in a 700 action I picked up. Already had an HS Precision stock I took off my 280 Rem, bases , rings and a 4-20 Minox in the safe. I'm in this rig...
