Even with all the options out there. A bolt action in 308 win with a 21" barrel could do all my deer and bear hunting with 165 grain bullet like the PT. The VX6 1-6 would be a fine single scope, or a VX3 1.5-5 & a VX3 2.5-8 on QD rings. The 308 win is a fine cartridge.

I have CZ527 in 22-hornet it is pretty low for noise, a 221 in a 24" barrel not much differance between it and my 223 for noise. I think you need a 19 badger from james cahoon it is smack between the K-hornet and the 221 for noise and has 223 ballitics. I think it is the perfect p-dog cartridge...

Its very nice that she understould their real value far more than money, and wanted you to have them. The30 carbine sounds like a neat gun too.

It depends on the cartridge and distance one will be shooting. You pointed out the 30-06/180gr but here is some other things to think about. My 35rem/200gr @ 2188 fps is set to 1" at 100 yards reason is this will not be too high at 15 yards even from a tree stand yet work just fine for a 200...

300 H&H, If I only had one rifle to hunt say MI & ONT mainly deer bear. It could be 21" barreled bolt in 308win. But it would have QD rings and two scopes. A VX3i 1.5-5 for close up in thick cover 10-30 yards but will handle 250 if needed. And a VX3i 2.5-8 for say 100 yards and further in more...

I did order a VX3i-2.5-8x36mm so my oridginal plan is still working. Desided to also get the VX3 1.5-5x20mm for the sale price of $299. Gone same as the old VX3 2.5-8. Wish I was a week earlier. But the new VX3i will be nice. My whelen is a 7600 and the 20mm just looks better on it but the VX2...

I had a 700 short action classic rebarrel with a Shilen #3 in 358Win. Very happy they did everything squared up the action, pillar bedded it and free floated. Mine is blued so I have a 700 classic in 358win but match grade. Back before you could get a Ruger in 358win or the 338 fed was invented.

Per Sierra's manual some of their HP are tuffer than their spitzers. The 140gr .277 for example. I think their both prohunter bullets. Likely the same for 165gr .308's.

I finally desided its time to up grade from a 16 year old VX2 2-7x33mm to a new VX3 2.5-8x36mm. The VX2 will go to my scope less 35 Whelen which should be a good fit. Its VX3 1.5-5x20mm went to my 700/358win when it was built. Surpised Cabelas does not carry it. I will check with my local gun...

Win 3" HS Hull WIn 209 primer Rem SP410 Wad 17.0 grs 300MP 11/16 oz #8 Mag Shot 1225 fps 9,200 psi Absolutly the best load for sporting clays, quail, wood cock , & grouse. Great pattern density. With the extra 100 fps and pattern density this out performs ammo with #7.5 out to 30 yards. Which...

The Rem 870's 12 & 20 gauge fit me perfect, and so does the Berretta's. When shoudered aim looking strait down the barrel. They hit where I point them its just the brain to trigger finger that requires practice. Also the CZ410 SxS seem to fit great too. I aim lucky there though I have shouldered...

There is not a electronic scale I can aford that I trust. The tranducer blank machined and heat treated alone would be over $1,000. That is why laboritory electronic scales cost a few thousend or more. I have seen the insides of a few electronic scales. A single bridge, super glued, and crewdley...

Right from Alliant. Fit is perfect and it works great. 308 pellets with #8 and about 265 of #7.5. Great load for clays,and grouse or smaller birds out to say 35 yards. Ya I have drop many birds with or with out feathers at 40 yards too. And that would be a second shot with the tighter choke. I...

It took 25 years of working to get ahead enough to buy my first U/O. I am hooked they are works of art. Mine are field grade and sub-gauge because I hunt mainly grouse, woodcock, and quail with shots from 10 to 35 yards most of the time. Guy seen your post on pheasant & chukar well done. My...

Besides reloading for center fire rifles I shoot clays twice a week for fun in the warm months. I reload shotgun ammo for target and hunting. Seems like there should be more guys that also shoot shotguns and reload for them. Maybe I should share some of my loads in the future? 20ga/28ga/410bore...

The CD is far more important to smaller calibers than it is to larger cals as long as enough bullet is used. Just compare a few .458 bullets CD to that of the 250 gr .338. I do not have a manual in front of me but a tuff 350gr 458 will impress any bear yet its CD is much less. If both the...

I am convinced using a chorno is the only safe way to reload. From experence loading listed loads that were way way too fast.

I just noticed that Federal has a new .338 185gr Fussion bullet out, at least in 338FED ammo in their MR_ (something) line. So there is two bullets designed specificaly for the 338 FED the 185gr & 200gr Fussion. I went with a 3-groove in my 221REM. Seems to shoot fine thou its new and I have...

A limbsaver came on my TC muzzle loader and it melts carpet, other plastic and sticks to card stock I put under it to keep it from melting the safes carpet. The recoil pad is now sticky and gooy. I have a pacmar on a medalist stock and love it. How ever its on a rem 700 in 223 so its not needed...

My 7600-35 Whelen is sitting bare of shights, robbed its VX3 1.5-5 to put on my 700-358 Win. When I get taxes back I think a VX3 2.5-8 is what I will buy. To put on my 270 Win and its VX2 2-7 will work nicely for the Whelen. Let me know if you find a prefit pacmar, thats what I would like on...
