They're everywhere! I just found a guy trying to sell a rifle that can be bought new online for $379... Asking $450.... But his is missing a trigger guard and the trigger is bent."Looks like SOMEONE dropped it" was his claim. I showed him links for the parts to fix it, and link to a new...

Ever since I sold my first rifle, which was a 270 win, I've had the itch for another one. I was lucky enough to have a member from this forum give me a factory Savage stock and barrel in 270 , so ill try that one on and see how it does. If I had to buy a new barrel right now though it'd be a...

Just curious to see wat you guys are finding Savage 111s for for rifle builds. I found one for $260 tonight in 30-06 plane Tupperware stock and a cheap tasco 3-9. I offered $240 and they bit.

Wow, I thought the 265 interlock from a 444 Marlin woulda made it through another jug or two... But it did open up like a parachute and hold onto a lot of weight. I'll be trying to get a deer with them this year.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I've been trying to get my buddy's Ruger mkii in 30-06 to shoot under 2" all summer and haven't had any luck. It's the same way with any factory ammo he's tried. I switched scopes to see if that was it, but still no luck. I finally convinced him this week to get...

I've hit a handful of big woodchucks with 69gr custom comps from my 223. Impact speeds between 2200 and 2500 fps. Sometimes they act like a varmint bullet and leave massive wounds. Sometimes they pencil through like fmj. I wouldn't use them for anything bigger than a coyote.

Im sure if it looked that promising id keep testing heavier charges but if all else fails, I'd take that and run with it. Hodgdons website says thats got AT LEAST 3000fps. A 270 win with 130 grain bullets at that speed has put a lot of critters to sleep over the last 90 years. Way out there too.

As far as capabilities go, I don't see why a 25-06 with bonded, partitioned, or all copper bullets of 110 grains or more can't do anything the legendary 270 Winchester did before those type of bullets existed.

Thanks. My 7mmRM, and a 270win I used to have both liked RL19 so I've got some of that on hand too. It wasy only rifle powder til about a year ago. Maybe RL19 has spoiled me into thinking I should find sub 1.5" groups with every powder charge I try. Either way, between IMR4350 i just bought and...

You have nothing with more power than a 41mag. I'd suggest one of the super magnums. My personal favorite is the 480Ruger.

No I don't have a comparator guage. I did just grab a can of imr4350 last night though. Can't wait to give it a try.

How far do those partitions generally like to jump

which ones like this jump? The partition or sierra? Thanks guys. I've put off buying 4350 for too long. Ill have to grab some next chance I get.

So Ive got a 25-06 that shoots factory loaded 115 Partitions from Federal into half inch groups @ 100yds. (4 shots) Federal's website says they're coming out at 3030fps, but I've not checked that with my chronograph. The load data on Nosler's website also indicates that they found best accuracy...

Thanks SJB... I'll start a new thread for this topic.

Great info Bobnob. I'm looking forward to your comparison of the two. Im currently looking for a bullet to make my 25-06 hit as hard as it can. The Federal loaded 115 partitions shot less than half inch groups for me, but I've yet to find a handload with it that will break an inch and half...

I've only done one ladder test, but my 7mmRM didnt like 150 partitions either. Tried 8 different charges of Re19 and only one group came in under 2". Very frustrating! The same powder with 160 accubonds gives me 1" groups or less with a hand full of charges above 280 REM power level.

My 114 can be finicky if the magazine isn't sitting right. If you don't get two audible clicks (front and back) it might seem like its in, but its not .

I woulda scooped up that 325 wsm this time last year. I was convinced thats what I wanted till I found a smokin deal on my 375Ruger. 325wsm is underated if you ask me.

I've been wanting to try those bullets. Thanks for the report, Sir.
