    What did you use to kill your first deer?

    I was 8 years old when I shot my first. Texas didn’t have a minimum age as long as you’re hunting with an adult. It was a spike about 100 yards away. Savage .243 with a redfield 3x9 and factory Remington corelokt ammo. I had just missed my first deer a few hours before, a doe at 80 yards. Dad...

    How Much Jump Do 142 LR AB’s Like?

    Here is my final shot string, on my home made load development target haha. I use our old calendars from work to build targets for development haha. Like I said 5 shots, cold barrel shot was a little left (I don’t like this but don’t know how to fix it, it’s close enough for hunting though)

    How Much Jump Do 142 LR AB’s Like?

    My reference is in a .284 at 175gr. I loaded these in my Tikka Tex 7mm Mag. During load development I started at .018 and went in .003 increments to .036. The area around .024 (.021, .024, .027) was very tight and it started opening back up at .030 and shifting right on me. I didn't try the...

    300 RUM Build

    Great shooting, looks like you have the right set up. Just curious, where did you come across the Fusion Tipped bullets for reloading? I'm trying to find those or the Terminal Ascents and have not had much luck.

    Shot the Tikka Swede

    The stock on that gun is a piece of art!

    If it's shooting great, you're where you need to be. I wouldn't get too hung up on trying to make it faster if its accurate now. The only thing to keep in mind, your COAL technically has no correlation to your lands unless you know what the COAL is when touching the lands. OGIVE is what I...

    223 @ 1040

    Thanks for the input! I own a handful of .223 but none are bolt action.

    What general area are you from? If you're close enough and don't want to tackle it, I'll get it out for you.

    223 @ 1040

    Nice shooting, and it looks like you found a convenient and great spot to get some distance in! I've been thinking about grabbing a .223 bolt action. Primarily to help my kids develop good shooting habits and trigger technique (maybe me too as I venture into longer ranges) and also to do some...

    One of the people that help with sales told me it was a JC Penny or Dillard or something like that haha. Doesn’t look like it use to be either of those to me. I stopped in on Wednesday though. It’s more warehouse than store front, they probably only use 5% of the space. Second image is to show...

    I started coming home with guns for her, but that was short lived. Some of those guns for her she still has never shot too.... I however, have shot them a lot and carried them for various different reasons.

    EuroOptics

    They are very close to me, I go to the store probably once or twice a month. If I need to kill time, I stop in and look around. They still have associates at the front but you can tell them you are just browsing. I will say going to the store you only see a fraction of what they actually...
