Before the accident messed me up, one of my favorite things to do was cast up a few Lyman 311291 bullets, lube and size them and load then the old fashioned way with a turn of the century style Lyman 310 Tong Tool. I even have some of the earlier dies and nutcracker handle from before Lyman...

I have three Ruger M77 RSIs, all in .308 Win. I won't go into the hassle I went through to find a usable hunting load butfind one I did. It's 49.0 gr. W760 with the 165 gr. Speer Hot Core and does all of 2550 FPS at the muzzle from the 18.5" barrel. From a 22" barrel velocity is 2610 FPS . The...

Fotis, the line forms at the rear. Paul B.

I won't say how I feel about TSA agents. This is, after all a family site. Paul B.

"I personally think the '06 "balances better" with the 165." I'm inclined to agree. I'm running the 165 gr. Nosler Accubond at around 2800 FPS ans I took a cow elk quite nicely. I used that rifle for the hunt because the day before the scope on my .35 Whelen decided to turn toes up. That was...

"So tell me what you would shoot in the 35Whelen and why you chose that bullet. What are your experiences with any of these choices?" My personal choice for bear would be the 225 gr. TSX, a nullet I've used on elk more than once with great success. I haven't tried the 225 gr. TTSX version on...

And the farmer hauled another load away. Paul B.

I just filled out my mail in ballot for the replacement of the now deceased Congressman Raul Grijalva. I'm only allowed to vote for the Republican running and there are three candidates. I've never heard of any of them so hit google. Number one is on probation for felony fraud, number two has...

Good looking rifle. I like the lines of the stock. Too bad the bolt handle is on the wrong side. Oh well, I can shoot reasonably well left handed if I have to. 😎 Paul B.

My guess would be that they were 150 gr. Power Points but that's just a guess. I'm inclined these days to use a 165 gr. bullet in the .308. That came about due to a rfle that will not shoot anything else. Long story short it's the Speer 165 gr. Hot Core. I'd suggest your friend try some of the...

I have to ask, what bullet is he using? I've been using the .308 on deer ever since I bought one back in 1973. I'm trying real hard to think if I've had to shoot more than once on a deer and frankly, I just don't remember. I started with using he 150 gr. bullet and while it worked it mangled up...

Happy Fourth of July. Have fun everyone and be safe. Paul B.

I'm not holding my breath but I hope you're right. Paul B.

That what I heard as well. The sandbagged us again. Some elected BUREAUCRAT woman call the parlimentarian who go the job in 2012 through Harry Reid, stated that the way the law was written violated the Constitution. She's also blocked most if not all the tax cuts in the BBB. Paul B. Google...

"The trick for me is getting 160g of anything leaving at 3000ft/sec." You didn't mention what cartridge you were shooting. I'm pretty sure it wasn't the 7-08 at the beginning of your post. I do have a 7MM Rem. Mag. but I haven't done any load work with that cartridge. I think 3000 FPS is...

I discussed this a long time ago with a doctor; the subject being why do deer sometimes run like crazy after a perfect heat shot the demolishes the organ.The conclusion was this. The animal's heart has just punped a fresh supply of oxygen rich blood to the brain and rest of the deer's body. The...

I have a few lever actions and most are Winchesters based on the M94. All are chambered to the 30-30 except one Pre-64 M94 carbine in .32 Win. Spl. and another that may or may not be a Winchester short rifle. I'm thinking not but it'ss my only 25-35. Of the 30-30s, two are M94 carbines, one...

I've tried the 150 gr. ABLR in three 7x57 rifles and one .280 Rem. So far, at least for me accuracy has been disappointing The 7x57s have run from 1.5" to 1 80" and the .280 averaged about 1.50" For the record all three 7x57s have run at .75" or less with the 150 gr. Partition and the .280 runs...

You never know just what a deer will do when shot. Me? I hope for a drop on the spot but more times that not there's been a roughly 30 foot to 100 yard run. First deer I've ever shot with anything was with an old 30-30 at maybe 20 feet. There is a story that goes with that shot taken back in...

At one time I did much of my hunting with single shot rifles. Most were Ruger #1s in various configurations and chambered to various cartridges. I got lucky one day when I saw a Ruger #1H in .375 H&H in the paper for a ridiculously low price. It seems the fellow selling it didn't much care for...
