I have shot 2 deer with a 308, both were bucks with shot distances at around 80 yards. I used Barnes 130 TTSX. One buck ran 15 yards with complete pass thru and excellent blood trail. The other buck DRT with the bullet traveling through both shoulders and sticking out of the hide on the opposite...

I hear ya! Yesterday was the first shooting I have done in months. My job and the kids sports schedules are keeping me super busy. Heck I need to cook up reloads so I have some stuff to test out.

So I had a Ruger American 243 (different rifle than I originally posted on) that buddy wanted for his son. I sold him the scoped rifle and 3 boxes of ammo for $400. I had my daughter's savage axis 6.5 CM that I did originally post about and took that rifle and traded it in to buy a Ruger...

The 120 Nosler BT with 43 gr of H4895 has accounted for several deer in my freezer and a couple on the wall!

H4895 with 120 gr pills is the easy button for my 7-08!

Thanks to all for the suggestions!

Brian, you are trying to get me in hot water with the wifey!!!

The 6.5 is actually my daughters rifle. The 243 was my son's first rifle that he started shooting when he was 5. Both of my kids have shot both rifles. I just want to take one of the rifles and set it up to only hunt in that blind.

Yes we keep ear muffs in the blind during gun season to muffle the blast. The enclosed blind is terrible for noise when shooting a rifle.

I have a home made elevated box blind that my kids and I hunt out of. We bow hunt a lot out of it but when gun season is in we are taking a rifle. Between my brothers kids and mine we took 4 deer out of the blind, 3 of which were by rifle. We learned a lot as it was our first year hunting out of...

I have fallen in love with the 308. I bought a cheap black Friday edition savage axis 2 in 308 and once I started shooting it it was extremely accurate and appeared to have a super fast barrel. I typically get 75-100 fps faster velocities than book velocities out of this rifle which was a...

I have tried Grand in my Tikka 7MM Rem Mag. Grand has gotten my 24 inch barrel to shoot with velocities of a 26 inch barrel and it is has been very accurate in my rifle.

I have loaded for two 7-08's. A savage 110 and browning x bolt. Both rifles shoot great and are easy to load for. Both rifles like H4895, BL-C2, R17. I have gotten 120 gr Nosler ballistic tips with 43gr H4895 to surpass 3000fps and absolutely hammer deer. This year in my son's Browning 7-08 we...

So you are saying I got a good deal!!!!!!!

I had to take my son to Academy this afternoon to go ahead and get some new baseball pants and cleats for this spring, the boy is growing like a weed!! Naturally, I slide over to the ammo / hunting section before we leave. Lo and behold I see multiple packs of 100 Winchester large rifle primers...

Has anyone tried the Vortex Diamondback HP 4-16x42? I am curious to hear some first hand experience.

Great bull!! I must be behind, I am curious of the load. My brother loads for 7PRC and we talk shop a lot.

Great buck. Based on the looks of the shot I would say that was a DRT!

I have killed two whitetail bucks with a 308 using a 130gr TTSX going about 3150 at the muzzle. Bullet has performed flawlessly and with the energy provided I would think it would do the job on an elk.

Nicely done sir!!
