Sorry, haven't tried anything but the 180 or 200 gr bullets in my 300 WSM (bolt action).
The 165 gr would get my nod for a lighter bullet, as a great compromise for your application, as your distances do not require the higher velocities to flatten longer trajectories.Aand should you ever decide...
I have stopped using GunBroker altogether, as of a couple years or so, ago.
I too was having issues logging in, and all attempts to contact them for assistance resulted in zero response over several months.
When access wasn't an issue, I did buy a few firearms and had them imported to me here in...
I think it is very relevant...and may have an impact on how we evolve as shooters and hunters so that our equipment improves our efficiencies and effectiveness, of accurately placing the bullet in the vitals to efect quick, clean kills.
It still comes down to verifying the poi at various...
Yah, he either had no intentions of selling, but could still tell the wife that he was "trying to sell it", or he has factored in the current exchange rate, the tariffs and taxes , plus the cost of the ammo he has shot through it, and all the gas he has spent going to buy it, shoot it and hunt...
Sounds somewhat similar to the 358 Shooting Times Alaskan...
Hope you are enjoying your rifle.
Bigger cartridges definitely have their place on larger, tougher game.
Love the 35 cal, but have mostly played and own the milder versions. Have shot the 358 Norma Mag, and found it pretty neat to...
I have done full custom rifle builds, and those where it has just been a rebarrel job on a left hand donor rifle from a mainstream manufacturer I like (Remington, Ruger, Sako, and Browning), in order to get a rifle in a cartridge I like, or changed the stock to one I preferred. I have termed...
Always cool to see new places, its' game, and the culture today, and from the past.
Looking at the weapons used in the past would be cool, and thinking on what it took those people to accomplish providing for themselves and their families on a daily basis!
Has to make us appreciate what we have...
Yep!
I have long since accepted that this recovery was going to be a long slow process, so I am good with being patient and not pushing things too fast. Learned the hard way, what that does to the body over time, and how we pay for it later in life!
Good thing that I have been blessed with...
I like the 336XLR's!
Would love to find one in 338 Marlin.
Finally saw the first one here north of the border for sale last month...but the guy wanted over $4000 for it! :eek:
At least you got out to the woods and enjoyed time with your friends!
Still living vicariously through you all, as I am just now being able to put some weight on my leg the last couple of weeks. And I am still limited to the weight I can put on my shoulder, using the crutches, until I can the...
Some people just need newer prescriptions on their eye glasses!
But I can see how an ol' curmudgeon (pun intended :devilish: ) might mistake a hunchbacked, grey headed elder with a scraggly beard with an old goat! :LOL:
Some children mistake them for Santa Claus!;)
I believe I read the same, or a similar article.
Back in 94/95 when I was first playing with my Rem 700 Classic in 6.5x55, I had a Leupold 6x42 scope on it and used this method to shoot the 400 yard target. It was spot on, with the tip of the lower thicker post, with the 140 gr Partition and...
