My best friend is a NJ police officer and lives in Kinnelon the bear was shot less then 150yds from his house. He’s seen the bear on multiple occasions in his yard
Not sure what it was but I had 10 that leaked through the sides of the primer and 3 that popped a hole through the edge and smalls came through the rear of my bolt which is how I discovered it. Thankfully I did not have bolt damage however there are some very minor pits from the flame cutting I...
I’m not sure why their QC is fallen seemingly more than others but they have stood behind it very amicably. They gave me the option to get a check or replacement
Just a heads up or PSA if you will… I got in touch with Winchester/Olin about some primers that popped through the edges of the primers. They took a while and about 15 emails back and forth to finally get them picked up I send back 2 lot #’s totaling 1400 primers. Called to get an update on the...
The Sierra bullets are somewhat known for being thinner jacket and explosive on impact but they do kill very nicely and rather quick. I think if you go with either weight bullet and stay with Partitions or Hornady interlocks even Speer hotcor or grand slams you’ll see better performance with...
I use Varget and IMR4895 both for 150gr loads and both at 45gr. The varget shoots .52 and 4895 is .40. I just happen to have the 165 BT and was leaning towards 4064 but I have 2 other powders that shoot very well so I was kinda questioning myself as to why use another powder
Just seeing what people preferences are in 308 win. I have a decent for deer 150gr load but I’m looking to load a 165 NBT. What powders do you prefer are there any “known” good loads? This is used for hunting whitetail deer in central PA from a tree stand or on foot. Shooting from 30yds to about...
I’ve got a few boxes in 270win both 130 and 150 Hornady IL. I guess my question is is there a speed limit on these type of boolits and I assume for my distances in PA woods they’re good for a 270 on whitetail deer. I don’t know much about the round nose other than 30-30 rounds do these 270’s...
Whitetail are not hard to kill at all. I shoot them with my bow out to 50yds with an arrow traveling around 300fps. In 7-08 ive used the Hornady IL 139 Nos AB 140 around 2800fps. They go down
Thanks JD pretty much the route I want to take just wasn’t sure since I’ve never done this before. Someone cut down the money tree in the yard so I have to make more informed decisions
I primarily hunt deer in central PA from a tree stand and walking around. The b&c stock was ok nothing bad about it just no other experiences. I would not get a thumb hole stock and can manage weight. I'd like to stay around the same weight as the accustock now but if I can shave a little that’s...
I’d like to hear your thoughts on the stock. It was recommended to me to get a Boyd’s wood stock and have it pillar bedded and then glass bed the recoil lug and rear tang to have it free float the barrel properly. I have no experience with Boyd’s the only stock I replaced was on a weatherby...
I can’t say I hate the accutrigger on my Savage 110 but I really just don’t like it. I mean it works and I can shoot the rifle well but I know there’s better out there. Mainly what I’m looking for is a better trigger feel on my finger and more consistency in group size. At 100yds with my hand...
Had a pretty successful range day today. Was there from 9-3 brought several rifles and a few different loads for each one. Most shot very well did a charge weight test in 243 with imr4831 and RL22 and at 43.5gr imr4831 I popped a primer; my first one ever most likely my last as well. I have to...
