Scotty, you're mentioning the right bullet but along with that you're going to need adequate velocity to make that bullet work. That also means you are going to need a lighter bullet to get that velocity at the further distance. The wonder bullets we have now work if their pushed hard enough. I...
Jim, Obama is pissed because he didn't get his fourth term in office and be able to complete his vision of what he and Soros thought this country should look like.
you're echoing my thoughts exactly. There was time when every New Years Eve we went out to dinner and then enjoyed a Noisy evening to celebrate the New Year. As we age our brain/body gets smarter and says go out for dinner and then enjoy New Years at home. Then you get to a point where you...
A lot of good information for Elk Loads. My only thought would be when you're out over three hundred yards you are stretching it for the 7MM-08. A good friend of mine shot a nice Bull Elk at 346 yards using a partition and the performance wasn't what he expected. The Elk was hit in a good spot...
Also, I just found out that Sig now makes a 21 round magazine that will fit all P365's. That eliminates having to carry the extra mag that a lot of people like to do
I'm with you on that combination Guy. I shot a .45 for many years and used it as an EDC. As I went up in age it became very uncomfortable in the recoil department. I switched to a Sig P365 XL X frame using 124 grain Federal HST's and find I have a very good combination of power and accuracy. The...
I've owned a TC Hawken in .50 Caliber since the 1980's and have taken 4 deer with it. That 370 grain chunk of lead certainly does drop deer with authority. You've started my itch again for wanting to take it out hunting.
She'll love that gun Jim. I carry the P365XL X model which has provisions for the 17 round magazine. Shoots great and is accurate as heck. I use a DeSantis OWB holster along with a 1791 Holster. Both hold the gun tight against your side.
My buddy's got a flock of 15 that are in the back yard. He's also got 30,000 acres of preserve behind him which harbors a lot of game. The turkeys spend a lot of their time on his back porch eating corn so I guess hunting for them wouldn't be a fair proposition.
I measure the OAL by seating a bullet in the magazine with a bit of space to spare. Then I push the round with the bolt to see what the fit is. If it won't chamber or chambers with difficulty (Rifling marks on bullet) I seat deeper until I find a comfortable spot and shoot from there. Remember...
I'm just the opposite. I've shot a ton of deer over the years with the Sierra 165 grain BTSP. I "don't" shoot for the shoulder as I got tired of throwing 1/4 of the deer away from bloodshot meat. If I have to walk a little bit to retreive the deer so be it but many never moved at all. I also...
I definitely have to agree with the lighter recoiling rifles. I used to love shooting my .338 Ultramag off the bench (with a Past recoil cushion) but now after six shots I get a headache. Thank god it doesn't move POI from year to year. My Remington 700 Titanium in 7-08 gets the most use as the...
