Without insulting anyone - like you did with your "you have bigger problems" comment - this was an extremely easy thing to pull off.
It was public knowledge that Charlie Kirk was speaking there. Location and time were known.
Charlie only used close-in security, like most people outside of...
Isn't that a fair bit faster than normal 8mm Rem Mag / 220 gr velocity?
I have zip experience with the 8mm Rem Mag, just liked the idea of the cartridge long ago, but never bought one. Knew that Sierra made a GameKing for it. Have had good results from GameKings from other cartridges in the...
We're hurting with you Fotis. Charlie Kirk was much loved.
This has been a really rough week. We got the videos of young Iryna Zarutska getting brutally murdered. Then Charlie Kirk is assassinated. Now it's 9/11.
Probably time for some buddy checks - make sure folks are doing okay. Perhaps...
I've got some round nose and "semi-spitzer" bullets that are sort-of round nose... Ought to do some hunting with them, it's been a long time!

If desired, the die companies will likely make a seating stem for the specific bullet you want to use.
With some handgun cartridges it's not unusual for the die maker to include two seating stems, one for hollow point/soft point bullets and another for wadcutters or semi-wadcutters.
Seating...
It can be a great hunt. Buddy of mine took a big buck years ago. 200+ inch muley. I've seen some big bucks during that hunt, but not many, and never managed to tag one. Never even got a shot at one.
I remember talking to a little 3x3 on the last evening of my hunt one year. Told him that he...
Hey Mike - I do hope that you and yours are doing well. Thank you again for your hospitality back in 2017 when I was driving home from Alaska.
I've had to edit the heck out of this note. I'm at m700miner@gmail.com Hope to hear from you. Regards, Guy
Welcome aboard!
I suspect that you've got slow-twist rifling. Some .25's have been built with 1:12 and even slower. They work brilliantly with lighter, shorter bullets, but not well at all with longer bullets.
If I'm wrong and rifling isn't the problem I don't have a lot left for...
I have limited experience with the CX, but it's proven accurate and penetrates very well.
If you do any searching for tighter groups - consider seating them a bit deeper. I don't remember the jump, but I got best accuracy by seating them pretty doggone far off the rifling.

I'm not sure that the 360 is going to stick around long... It's a regionally popular thing, but I'm not seeing a lot of others picking up on it. If Marlin starts making 360 Buckhammer rifles then maybe it will be a success. The 35 Rem suffers a similar fate - just not as popular as it ought to...
Using Remington 360 Buckhammer cases I got great results with the Hornady 200 gr RNSP and CFE BLK powder.
Accuracy was considerably better than factory ammo (which was certainly okay) and picked up quite a bit of velocity as well, at 2311 fps from a Henry lever action.
I liked the 360...
It didn't matter how many times they were told to not post firearms stuff for sale... They kept doing it. That page did grow tremendously Fotis, showing that there is a strong interest in firearms & ammunition on FB. I've tried on Shooting The Breeze to keep the "for sale" stuff off... Most...
H870 was great with 175 gr Nosler Partitions or 175 gr Sierra GameKings in my 7mm Remington Magnum. As others have said, it's pretty dirty, but accurate and can produce excellent velocity as well. Took my big bull elk 25 years ago using it!
I'd think it would do very well with the 264 Win Mag...
Rifles - I'm fortunate to still have the first two rifles I shot, both belonged to Dad:
22 rimfire, Marlin 39 Mountie - he set it up with the 2.5x Leupold later in life. I'm leaving it there as it's handy to have a scoped 22 rimfire. I was probably 5 or 6 when I started shooting it.
First...
