I have taken dozens of deer with 44 mag and 44 bullets in ml . Back in the 70s the 180 load was 30 grain h110 and 240 Sierra took 25 grain h110 the 180 was for my mod 29s and 240 was for Ruger carbine and M 1894 then they came out with 210 which split the difference in weight and bearing...

I know Sierra says ok for bear but only at ridiculously slow speeds . Sierra makes great hunting bullets in 44 caliber tournament master isn't supposed to be on of them . Sent from my Moto E (4) using Tapatalk

I would love a 120 grain partition for the 6.8 spc Sent from my Moto E (4) using Tapatalk

Too many people say what they think and are wrong my experience is it will flatten out plenty on coyote so unless you are shooting antelope smaller than coyote you are gtg. Also antelope have a tendency to refuse to pose for the best shot angle and AB gives great penetration . Sent from my...

I feel seasoning a barrel with carbon is good carbon is hard and fills little imperfections where copper might flow into if left void . When you get through laughing at this read it again with an open mind . I think the powder and bullet used in the breaking in process plays a big role in...

Very good point about light and true for sure a lot of people say its not as accurate but on days when clouds are on / off I shade my chrono and put the light bars on . Sent from my XT1093 using Tapatalk

I was raised in a home that seldom voted and my whole life I have been told that it didn't matter as they were going to put who they wanted in office any way .The reason they keep putting who they want in is because all good people don't vote . 2016 we proved they don't always get their say and...

I agree now that we have the 6.8 spc2 it's time to forget new cartridges and work on powders that are temperature insensitive . Sent from my Moto G Play using Tapatalk

It would be foolishness not to admit new ammo and barrels/ guns are on the average more accurate than a generation ago but the smaller groups can also be contributed to the lower recoil rounds .my generation grew up in the bigger is better max horse power world and the new generation grew up...

Since not hunting and just playing or maybe self defense the choice is not as important as if combat or Medium to large game . My personal opinion would be 6.8 and 6.8 family with . 450 bush for big bore . But for you not really worried about bullet performance on game it is not that big of a...

I enjoy my 30/06 but have to admit I can hit smaller targets farther with lower recoil firearms like my 7/08 and 6.8 . Most people who say recoil doesn't effect their accuracy are fooling themselves . Sent from my Moto G Play using Tapatalk

Before you settle on one bullet try cavity back bullets ,better expansion at lower VELOCITY Sent from my Moto G Play using Tapatalk

If the brass case fit the chamber perfect and was supported 100 % then case strength / thickness would not be an issue but they don't fit perfectly and have to stretch to conform to the chamber and then relax to be removed plus the primer pocket area has to be able to hold up to pressure with...

I'm stuck on 2 out of the box having split necks Sent from my Moto G Play using Tapatalk

We have a deer farm just 20 miles from here and you can actually get out of the car and walk up to huge bucks on the other side of the fence . The last time I watched a hunting show the guest and his guide we're in a blind whispering and concerned the big buck in front of them was getting...

Squeeze fast . On targets I often squeeze too slow and pause squeezing to breathe then continue but on game and with a makeshift or less than ideal rest I start squeeze as soon as sights / cross hairs are fixing to line up and keep squeezing until they settle back from recoil. Sent from my...

1 moa is more than good out to 300 but what is more important is how close to aiming point can you put the first bullet out of a clean barrel . If you can shoot a 2 " gun better from hunting positions and improvised rests than you can a 1/2" gun then take the 2" gun . Remember the most important...

Agreed 100%and I have found that 30/30 rounds seated too far in ( because of light crimp and tube spring pressure) can get scary hot also . Sent from my Moto G Play using Tapatalk

Are you going to run factory or load for it ? I received my first 44 mag 1894 in 1973 and couldn't begin to remember all the deer and hogs it has taken . Sent from my Moto G Play using Tapatalk
