I’ve use it in 45-70, 270, and 308 Win. It’s been very good to me. Accurate and high load counts. It seems to be along the same lines as Norma brass. It’s better than Winchester, Federal, Remington and Hornady. In my opinion, only premium brands beat it. Starline also aneals very well.
I have used 240gr XTP’s and Win 296 to great effect on deer. 200gr XTP’s did well too. Never had a chance at a bear with them though. The XTP’s expand nicely but hold together very well. I have always had complete penetration on deer with them even if they hit ribs. There’s not much resistance...
Welcome! I’m glad you’re here. There are some great people here that are very very knowledgeable. If we could get this atmosphere in a hunting lodge, the great hall would always be full.
As stated, glad you’re ok first off. I’ve heard people say it’s happened to them but never experienced it personally. I’d say carry on as you are, and contact the manufacturer. Use a different lot of primes until you get direction from the manufacturer. I’ve had some turn sideways in the primer...
I’d settle for a little more effort in making what they produce now be in stock.
.277 160 grain Accubond. Not a LRAB. It should stabilize from a 10 twist barrel.
5 days until I go out and try to pick a fight with a big Tom. Going Friday and getting camp set up. Friday evening go roost a few. Then the next morning go pick that fight. Gonna be a good day.
There was a Marlin 336 in 35 Rem at our local Cabela’s yesterday for $579 I think it was. Call the Centerville OH Cabela’s and they would ship it to your local store. It was in really good shape. I almost bought it.
I’ve seen here a few times that people have been looking for 200 grain .358 rifle bullets. American Reloading has them for a pretty fair price. In the past I ordered a few thousand steel core ball projectiles and they were quick to get them to me. Good prices as well. They are legitimate with...
You’ll love the BSB bullet. It’s one heck of a tough bullet. I don’t think a 308 could make one come apart. I’d trust them in magnums too actually. I may get scolded for this but they are tougher than Accubonds or Partitions. They are designed and marketed differently but damn tough. They are...
I’m going to have to go with the 308 Winchester itself as my favorite. It’s simple as to the why. My mom and dad gave me a Winchester Model 100 in 308 as my first deer rifle. Took my first and a few others with that rifle. It seems to always come up that the 308 Win is obsolete. There are deer...
Doest anyone know of someone that will build and re-barrel a Remlin 45-70. Would want the stock contour maintained and have the sights duplicated as well. It shoots great but the rifling isn't up to my liking. A factory replacement barrel wouldn't be out of the question either. I'm just mapping...
My bucket list is quite short but unfortunately not possible. That said, I’d like to have a Weatherby Mark V Deluxe chambered for 308 Winchester. A Winchester Model 100 in 284 Winchester, and a 1980’s Browning Citori in 20ga. with IC and Mod chokes. Maybe a few days in the Dakotas Pheasant...
Burris received the riflescope yesterday, and emailed me as such. Today they emailed back that it’s unrepairable and they are sending a new replacement. I’m not sure what makes it unrepairable, as it was new from box when put on the rifle. It doesn’t really make any difference though. This is...
