    Planning a Christmas break hunting trip for next year, need input

    My son has anything that he would ever really need as a kid and is only into hunting and sports so for next Christmas I want to plan a hunting trip that we could take during Christmas break. My two nephews are about the same as my son in terms of their love of hunting so they would probably go...

    bullet testing in water jugs

    A board to put them on works fine. Eventually the force will cause your boards to crack and break. I use a rough hewn 2x10 and it has split on both ends.

    QL for .308 Win and Varget

    Agree on the BL-C2. My 308 loves it and I get great speeds, especially with the 130 TTSX.

    Shooting across water??

    So I have a place on my property where I can get off some 200 yard practice with a great backstop. However, I would have to shoot across our lake . Disclaimer; I have a high lake dam and will not be shooting into water and not even shooting at a target that will be close to the water. Gravity is...

    First deer of the season for my son

    Youth weekend in Ky this past weekend. I took my son up on a knob for his first trip in a tree stand. I have a 2 man ladder stand and we settled in (safely strapped in). At 8:35 a couple of does were side hilling on the knob. Not in any hurry just eating and slowly walking. They hung around for...

    Slow barrel 243, any suggestions??

    I appreciate all of the suggestions. Several of the suggestions I have already tried. Not real sure what my next steps with this rifle will be. I have never experienced any pressure signs so I may just need to carefully creep up the powder to try and get the velocity (end result kinetic energy)...

    Slow barrel 243, any suggestions??

    I have a Ruger American in 243 (22 inch barrel) that has proven to be very accurate with 95gr SST bullets and 65 gr V-Max bullets. I have been working on developing a 95 gr Nosler ballistic tip hunting load for this rifle. What I have noticed over the few years that I have owned this rifle and...

My rifle like Reloader 17 and I know I can get more velocity with different powders, heck I have done it myself. But, for KY whitetails I think...

    How fast is too fast for a Nosler ballistic tip bullet?

    Shot a good group the other day .781 inches out of my 270 with the 130 gr Nosler ballistic tip. Powder was Reloader 17 at 55 grains and I got an average velocity of 3125 fps. I have never gotten close to that velocity in my 270 so I was very surprised. I was hoping for approximately 3000 fps. My...
