You had me at Sako AV in 7STW.. The LH part could be a problem for me though haha

I do a lot of shooting. For form, for load development, for testing equipment etc.. That is why I worry about all these copper bullets, but supposedly the Barnes TSX and TTSX are the worse. I see such good results from them, I often think it's worth the chance though lol. Especially since I...

When using OGIVE i refer to it as CBTO instead of COAL. Case Base To Ogive vs Case Over All Length. I hear of so many people having great results with the TTSX in many calibers. I also hear about how hard they are on your barrel. I've been stuck in dead center on them and am yet to even try...

Amazing picture! I love rams, big reason why I drink so much Shiner Bock.. jk! Welcome. I'm new as well. This group of guys have been the most pleasant people to associate with. They all seem very knowledgeable and willing to help.

That's great shooting. My goal in this endeavor is for hunting first and to better my shooting at closer ranges second. I'm going to want to practice the same way I'll be using it. I agree, shooting for vitals is my focus. I guess I never thought about your steel not having a bullseye on it.

One of the "camp hobbies" me and my family have is inspecting the carnage of our shot. Half the time someone is taking a picture of the heart and lungs as we field dress just to show it at camp. Then we do our skinning party and everyone wants to see what the entry and exit looks like, if no...

You make shots with a pistol, further than i can with a rifle. I don't know how you even see the bullseye 400 yards out with 18 power scope haha. I apparently have a lot to learn here.

Great shooting! Based on feedback form some of you on this forum, my opinion would probably be different of the 308 had I been around you guys haha. It's so rooted in me now, who knows.

I think they were PowerPoints now that you mention that. He doesn’t have the personality or the patience to learn how to reload. He’s big into archery, and hunts with a rifle just for extending his season and to ensure he has meat in the freezer.

I could see that transpiring for sure. The study they did and the data they collected is much more in depth than any testing I have done, which has been very high level and unofficial in recording lol. The bullet shoots nice, my barrel seems to stay clean longer so I’m my mind, it’s working...

I’ve always used a SFP because I’m often on low power while hunting around here. I can see how that could be an issue with a target 500 yards out like some of your videos of you shooting. I can only imagine the reticle is covering a large portion of your target. I’m going to start looking at...

I've never done an official study of any sort, but I have been shooting the SilverTip Ballistic for years now. I absolutely maintain a cleaner barrel for sure and when I made the switch these did shoot slightly faster. It's one of my favorite bullets to shoot, toss up between these and...

Looks awesome! Nice build

Thanks JD, I do like how simple that is, but still has markings on it. Some of these are so busy I go cross eyed haha

I only use MOA, I haven't had any interest in trying Mil. I typically look at what is available then set a budget based on what I want lol.

Oh, I think I have a solution.... we may have to abolish the regulation, and documentation. I would venture to say it doesn't cost $200 per transaction anyway. If they ran like a business traded on the open market they could employee a panel of people to ensure those of saine mind are...

*Mauser haha. I may have been celebrating yesterday, all day. Didn't catch that lol This one was super cool. A guy we hunted with was retired Airforce fighter pilot. He bought a few German Mouser's from a WWII Armory that was sealed up for years. It came covered in a cosmeline like...

Biggest reason I'm considering getting a an Alpine CT model 307 is because the Sheridan plant and when Adam Weatherby came to my buddies gun store here in central PA, he shot me a text to stop in and say hi. Super awesome guy. The type of person you are happy to support.

This post is very cool. I feel like an amateur compared to most of you. My list isn't as long, but I have had some pretty exciting hunts with some of these calibers. .22LR .38 snub nose .223 .243 30/30 44 mag 444 Marlin 45-70 32 35 Rem 357 300 WM 300 WSM 300 Ultra 7mm Mag 8mm Mouser 6.5 PRC...

If your average shot for her is 40 yards, your speeds and that barrel length will be no problem at all. A little slower may help the situation even haha. I think you made a fine choice. My 8 year old daughter has a 7mm-08 Begara Stoke. Last year she carried my 44mag lever and a 30/30. I was...
