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...

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
