I had that happen with me with Remington brass in my 7STW.I annealed the brass and those issues went away.

I think too many times people think you have to be jammed into the lands to get a rifle to shoot good.How about finding a seating depth off the lands that shoots great.Jamming into the lands can be OK if you are not at max,but if you are at max,jamming into the lands can cause you some big...

I had a Savage 99C in a 308 Win.Damn thing shot rather poor groups.One day at the range I took the forearm off and it shot nearly same hole groups.The forearm on those Savages,like the forearms on Ruger #1's can really give you fits.I can't tell you exactly how to fix it if it is the forearm...

Buy several rifles chambered for the same round.You will shoot a bunch of those bullets up just seeing how each one shoots.

Keep your eyes on the classified adds on forums.I bought six unopened boxes of 168gr Ballistic Tips for $130 shipped.Not a steal,but a very fair price any day,especially during these times.I ran across one box of 180gr 30 cal Accubonds on Ebay.You cannot sell bullets on Ebay,but somehow they...

I used the old style Grand Slams back in the early 90's.They were great bullets.I've also shot 120gr Speer Hot Cores and 117gr Sierra bullets.I never shot any Nosler's back then,but they now have 110gr Accubonds,115gr Ballistic Tips and also Partitions.I don't have any 25cals anymore,but I'd...

With a 168gr Nosler Ballistic Tip using IMR 4895,Win. brass,WLRM Primer,I'm loading 45.0grs of IMR 4895 at just over 2800fps tested in all three of my 308's.I've never seen any pressure signs with this load and all three rifles will group it around 1/2".If I would start to see signs of pressure...

Shooting an arrow through a deer is different.Low in the chest and quartering away is probably the best.Those little wild deer I've killed with a bow were really high strung.They would take off like their tail was on fire and usually wouldn't stop running until they were dead on their feet.They...

Yep.That shot will put them out like flipping a switch.

It's a very fine line.If you shoot just a little low below mid point of the body they run,just a little above they drop,with bonded or cup and core bullets.You can get totally different results with the same bullet with a shot placed just mere inches different.I've done some guiding on a...

I used to have deer run a 100yds or so sometimes when shot through the lungs.I think the lungs being spongy,really dampen the shock from a bullet once it is inside the chest cavity.I found a good lung shot below mid point of the chest cavity usually resulted in a run.Bonded bullets where even...

I like the 150gr Nosler Ballistic Tip in my 7mag.I've shot deer with the 160gr Accubond too.The Ballistic Tip gives me a little larger wound channel and very quick kills.The Accubond wound channel is a little tighter,much like other bonded bullets I've shot.I get exits with both bullets,but I'd...

I tried neck sizing before.It's nice having a loading short cut,but I also ran into problems with some rounds that were very hard to chamber.I quickly gave up on it because I didn't see any benefit in accuracy,but I did see it to be more of an issue with how inconsistent my rounds chambered.Now...

Expect prices to increase slightly from what it was before. https://www.internationalsportsman.com/ ... -supplies/ Due to the increased cost inputs for manufacturing ammunition, it is necessary to increase ammunition prices for all shipments, including backorders, beginning May 1, 2021...

I didn't weigh him,I'd say probably around 450lbs.I got 186lbs of boned out meat,which is more than a big cow elk I killed years back.The meat is excellent just like elk.

I used the 180gr Ballistic Tip out of my 300 Win Mag to kill this red stag.My load was 73.5grs of Hunter,mv a little over 3100fps.Shot the stag in the onside shoulder,bullet left a silver dollar size exit hole just behind the offside shoulder.Judging it's performance,I have great confidence in...

I was getting 3100fps with 58.5grs of Big Game,WLRM primers,Win cases with a 150gr Nosler Ballistic Tip out of my 24" barrelled CZ 30-06.I'd back off that load about a grain and work up,but it's really easy to get 3000fps with that powder.
