    Trump should personally buy it at auction and sell it back to the government at no profit.

    Very impressed on two fronts..30-378

    We did tons of rockchuck dispatching in the 90's with about anything you can imagine including 375 H&H, 416 Rum, and 460 Weatherby. The problem is the bullets from the big bores are too tough, without modifying, to get explosive performance like a varmint bullet. We shot tons with .30 cal 150gr...

    ***UPDATE*****Very annoyed....ballistics app...I want something apparently nobody makes..........!!!!...????

    JBM will do data in about any increments but you can't pick certain drops at various distances. You can pick odd zero distances just nothing like -5.00" at 406yds. If you pick 10 yard interval distances you could probably figure that out though.

    Very impressed on two fronts..30-378

    I built a 30-378 Imp with a 30" barrel years ago. It shot 150 Ballistic Tip over 4000fps, 165's 3900fps, 185's over 3600 and 210's over 3400 with WC872 ball powder. Mine was a caliber length neck, 35 degree shoulder, and minimum taper.

    Great, thank you.

    That would be cool Don, thank you. I have a feeling I'd be better with a check cord also.

    300 WSM vs 300 Win Mag

    The Nosler and Weatherby are similar capacities. The RUM has about 12+% more capacity and 100+fps advantage.

    2024 Hunting Season

    My kid and I visited the local WMA area for some ditch chicken slaying. My Drahthaar puppy has a nose on him but is blowing through points to try and catch the birds. I have work to do but his nose is amazing.

    300 WSM vs 300 Win Mag

    A long throated 300wsm with heavy bullets, ie: 215 Bergers, and R-23 or R-26 will run 2920-2950ish with a 24" barrel or around 2960-2980fps with a 26". A long throated 300wm will run almost identical velocities with H-1000. With Retumbo it will add around 40fps and with N-570 it will add about...

    300 WSM vs 300 Win Mag

    If that were true then every winning short range benchrest caliber wouldn't be a 6ppc and almost every .30 1000yd benchrest gun wouldn't be a 300wsm. A optimal case capacity to bore size usually means the best accuracy. That is why the 6BRA is out shooting the 6 Dasher now at 600 and 1000yds.

    Work Sharp Elite (blade sharpener) flipped my thinking...

    The Outdoor Edge replaceable blade knives are much stiffer than the Havalon and Gerber knives. They have an aluminum spine the blades slide into that makes them much stiffer. I havent run a fixed blade knife in forever it seems. I carry 2 with me and a elk usually takes both to bone out. Its...

    Tape over the muzzle?

    I hunt with tape over my muzzle brakes all the time. My son and I both shot our elk this year that way. I've never seen it effect anything if it's just one level of tape. So I just run one up and over piece and then wrap it one time around the barrel so it doesn't unravel.

    Let's see those long-range hunting rifles!

    That is crazy anal retentive. I bought 72 Savage 12FV rifles at one time from Cabelas. I actually rented a small U-Haul enclosed trailer to transport them and Cabelas didn't like me after that. I bought a ton of gift cards to save about 10% and it took 4 hours for them to do the whole...

    Benchrest rifle?

    I seem to remember that as well Fotis. Maybe be nicer to your stuff? :ROFLMAO:

    Benchrest rifle?

    It's kind of like the old Vari X III's. Some would dial consistently and other's were a POS. I really like the VX6 3x18 scopes for hunting rifles but they are really screwing up not offering more than 10 MOA, in 1 MOA increments in the reticle on the TMOA scopes. They could easily do 25 MOA. I...

    Benchrest rifle?

    I Think the Mark IV scopes were one of the toughest years ago with dual erectors.

    Only 400? Wow that was a long time ago :)

    Benchrest rifle?

    If I was to do it again from the beginning I'd probaby do it on a 37XC case for better brass. I still have the barrel and action (currently on a 30-338 Lapua Imp) so it would be easy to bring it back to life. I shot a bear in the neck shoulder junction with that gun as it climbed on the bait...

    Benchrest rifle?

    My buddy and I built a single shot 460 Weatherby to shoot bears with over bait. It had a 1.25" straight 28" long barrel. We use to shoot 300gr Cutting Edge bullets we modified to basically break apart. We use to shoot them at 3400fps. It was wicked on bears. We also did a 500 A-Square.

    Never seen a Choate stock on a benchrest gun.
