I've been looking around the last few days reading various articles on the correct breathing techniques while shooting. I know that everyone has their own style when shooting and I know that there are other variables that come into to play at the shot. I read where some believe that you should...

Thanks Dr. Mike! I would love to try Retumbo but no one around here locally has any. I have plenty of RL22 so I figured I'd give that a try first and if I'm not satisfied with it i'll try others that I have on hand. I may be able to get my hands on some Retumbo at the next local gun show that...

I want to load some of these bullets for my 25.06 CDL but i don't see RL22 listed as one of the powders used in the nosler chart for this bullet. Could someone please give me a min and max charge for RL22 and the 115gr BT? Thank You!

Good read!, thanks for sharing.

Nice shooting!, should be a fine deer bullet. I don't currently shoot any Hornady bullets but I killed countless deer here in NC with the 30.06 and the plain jane Hornady 130gr SP. I only recovered one bullet out of all the deer that I harvested with that bullet and it was lodged in the skin on...

Thanks for the imput I do appreciate it.

Does anyone here have any hands on hunting experience with the Sierra Gameking HP? Sierra's claim is that it's a tough bullet made for hunting but just looking around i don't see many reviews on them anywhere. I did see the one in the bullet test section where the 120gr .257 came apart on the...

Very nice shooting!, and a good looking rifle too.

I had some of the 120gr .257 DC's that I purchased when they first came out. I worked up a load with them and they shot well but I never harvested any game with them. As I recall I either sold or traded them to someone here on the forums but I can't remember as it's been a while. It was my...

I use it in my daughters Rem 700 .260 with Sierra 120gr PH's. It shoots very well in her rifle.

Nothing like early season preparation, it's almost as fun as the hunt especially if you make it a family affair. My kids and I have been setting up a couple ground blinds and loc-ons getting ready for bow season and really enjoy the time together. My wife doesn't hunt but she helps with all the...

I don't have much experience with Barnes bullets but I did use them briefly back in 07 with a rem 700 30.06. The bullet was a 130gr TSX and RL15. Accuracy was good and I harvested several deer with that load. I never shot it through the chrony so I don't have any ideal what the velocity was. My...

I've tried lots of different bullets in my 25.06 and have had excellent results with accuracy as well as on game performance with them all. Several of my favorites include the Speer 120gr HC, Nosler 110gr Accubond, 115gr BT and the Sierra 117gr PH. My favorite powder is RL22. You'll have no...

The smallest of the 9mm single stacks i've seen is the Diamondback DB9. My brother has one and loves it and it is very accurate for a small auto and has a good trigger as well. It's really small for a 9mm so it's a little snappy on the shot due to it's size which is to be expected. He claims...

I've had good results with a lot of different bore cleaners and still have several different brands in the cabinet but i find myself using Wipe-Out these days more than any other.

I've used the Sierra 117gr PH in my 25.06 on and off for years with great results as well as the Nosler 115gr BT. I've always wanted to try the 120gr HPBT but just never have. Having said that, I think over the years i've probably used the Speer 120gr Spitzer Hot-Cor more than any other bullet...

Good scope at a good price! I put the same scope on my daughters rem 700 .260 and it has served her well.

I've been using Wipeout for many years with excellent results. I've also used the Outers foaming cleaner and it works really well too but the wipeout smells better.

I don't know about the 30.06 but my brother has the same rifle chambered in .260 rem and it's a shooter. The action has been bedded, the bolt face squared and a trigger job. It's almost boring because it shoots just about everything that we've loaded in it. Here's the rifle .....

Great advice and I agree! My 25.06 really loves RL22 and I use that more than any other powder. I've killed lots of deer with the 25.06 and my favorite and most lethal bullet over the years has been the Speer 120gr Hot-Cor. I also like the Nosler 115gr BT and the Sierra 117gr PH as both have...
