    260 Remington

    I don't have much to add but I'll share mine and my daughters experience with the .260. My daughter has been shooting one for around 16yrs now. I can't comment on a 130-140gr bullet because we've never used anything over a 120gr bullet but i'll share our experience with what we've used. She...

    308 Winchester 165 gr Solid Base Whitetail Country

    I could live with that but i'd really love to see a 120gr in .257 and in .264 :).

    308 pet loads

    I've had really good success with Varget in my LTR .308 with the 125gr Ballistic tips and deer. Punching paper Varget was excellent with the Nosler 168gr CC, very accurate and consistent at all ranges. I also had really good results with RL15 with both bullets, but Varget was a little better.

    Rust from the back of the safe.

    I have something similar going on with a Ruger stainless 357mag 6" barrel. I have a rod in the bottom back of the safe and the pistol is on a top shelf in a cloth case. Everytime i take it out it has surface rust on it. I clean it up and put it back and next time I check it has started again. I...

    New X bow

    I'm looking hard at crossbows lately because my back, elbows and shoulders are about shot from years of sports and compounds. That Killer Instinct is no doubt a sweet looking setup especially the size of it and i like the all black color, looks stealthy. I've been looking hard at the Excalibur...

    Imr 7828

    I've used it in the past with good results in my 25.06 with 115 - 120gr bullets. The local gun shop here has several 1lb cans on the shelf but at $75 a can that's probably why it's still there. I have just over a pound in my cabinet that's been in there for a while and i know this because it...

    Off the lands bullet seating?

    I can't add much to what's already been said. I too pretty much use 0.010 as a standard with everything and usually find a accurate load at that distance. The only exception was with the TSX and i tried 0.010 with those and accuracy wasn't pretty at all. After looking at the little insert in the...

    What will be your cartridge/rifle of choice for this fall? Second?

    Some great looking rifles here for sure. I'll be using the same rifle that I've used for what seems like forever and that's the Remington CDL 25.06 with the Speer 120gr Hot-Cor. This has been my go-to for deer and coyotes for a very long time and no doubt my favorite. My daughter has a Rem .260...

    260 Rem coyote loads?

    Thanks. She shoots a Rem 700 SPS .260 that i dropped in a CDL wood stock. She started out at age 8 with a Rem 7 .260 and she wanted a 700 but wanted to stay with the .260 so that's what i bought her. I bedded the action, floated the barrel, squared the bolt face and dropped in a Timney trigger...

    Picked up another Glock.

    I have a Glock G36 which is my main conceal carry pistol and i also have a G33 that i keep around the house. I had a G43 that i gave my daughter when she graduated and I've been wanting get another 9mm to replace it with. I was looking at the G17, 19 and 45 and i researched them to death. After...

    260 Rem coyote loads?

    I've taken quite a few coyotes here on the farm with my daughters . 260 rem and she's killed a few herself. We use her deer loads which is a Sierra 120gr PH. Needless to say it's hammers them to the ground pretty quick. I had a couple run on me but i made a bad shot in the mid section but they...

    Rifle scopes

    I've bought, sold, traded and used numerous scopes from different manufacture's over the years and have never that i can recall had a really bad experience with any of them. I currently have a Leupold VX5 on my Rem 700 CDL 25.06 which is my hunting rifle. Have the same scope on my daughter's...

    RL 25

    RL25 is one of my favorite powders along with RL22 in the 25.06 with the heavier 120gr bullet, it produces very good velocity, accuracy and is also consistent.

    Fast (and accurate) 308 load

    I've never used the TTSX version but shot the 130gr TSX with RL15 for several years in my 30.06 with excellent results in accuracy and on game. Only 1 deer ran after the shot and went maybe 20yds and dropped all the others fell in the scope when i pulled the trigger. Needless to say of all the...

    Couple of fine-looking rifles no doubt. Most accurate rifle in my gun safe is a Marlin 22Mag.
