I am the new owner of a 280 Rem. Never owned one before. Have owned 7mm RM and do own 7mm08. Haven't checked for past load data on here just thought I would ask. Will be used for hunting whitetails here in WV and banging some plates at the range occasionally. So, what do you guys like to load...
With a 1-9 twist what have you found to be the heaviest and or longest bullet to stabilize in this twist? Traded up a 223 with this twist and the heaviest I have on hand and tried is the Sierra 69gr Match King which went straight thru the target no keyhole. Just curious what others have found...
Thursday my wife had a dental appointment. On the way home I stopped by couple of gun shops that I hadn't been in for awhile. Had been looking for a new range toy so to speak without breaking the bank and in a caliber that I was already setup to load for. Found something of interest in the...
Been toying with the idea of getting a bolt action rifle in 22lr to use with a suppressor. Curious to what others say is their recommendation. Would use it in the squirrel woods or urban pest control.
Is or has anyone loading Hunter powder in the 243 Win? I don't recall trying it before and when I got this last 243 back the book I kept load data and targets was lost. Have used H4350, IMR4350, IMR4831, WIN 760. So if you will, share your thoughts and results with Hunter. Thanks, Dan.
I bought back the last 243 Winchester I had owned previously. It is a Husqvarna. I had bought it from my deceased friend Ron's wife couple years after his passing. Killed three deer, Grandsons Brandon and Landon got their first deer with it. Friend Scott he wanted it so I like a dummy sold it...
Why is it that when men go to the grocery store, we get the first item on the shelf and women have to look over everyone then get the third one back? Asking for a friend:unsure:
I have 2 pistols with red dots and now 1 with a green dot sight. Before red was pretty east to see then before cataract surgery got really hard to distinguish. Have a red fiber optic and green fiber optic on couple of shotguns. Since getting this last Ronin with the green dot I have really...
Got a Springfield Armory Ronin 9mm yesterday with the bag,Viridian green dot and 3 extra magazines package. Took to the range while ago and sighted in at 10yds resting the butt on a bag. First 2 shots were at the bottom of the target. Big twist up hitting dead on. Then went to 12-15 yds...
What is the lightest load you have used consisting of Bullseye and a 200gr SWC bullet? In the past I have always used 3.5grs but having hand issues I was wondering how low I could go and still get total function. Quick trip to the range yesterday I started with 3.4 ,3.3 then 3.2grs and all...
Didn't want to hijack the other post on 270 win but was wondering if anyone has used RL19 in the 270 win? I have in the 30-06 with good results, about same case size but never got around to trying it in the 270. Let me know what your results have been. thanks, Dan.
A friend of mine texted me an ad for this and I didn't know it existed. Anybody know, seen, handled one of these? I searched CVA website and read about it. Just wondered if, what any of you guys had to say. Friend is interested in it.
As we get older those of us 65 and older say, has or are your shooting priorities changed or changing? Maybe health issues, loss of hunting land, lack of interest in hunting as much, whatever. I find myself thinking more of just range time shooting than so much about hunting these days. Have...
Anyone bought one of these and have firsthand knowledge, use with it? Looked at and held one, stainless version yesterday and it felt good. Likes the looks of the two tone on their website better.

Yesterday evening I was watching a smaller buck and couple does across the fence on adjoining property that I don't have permission to hunt. Tried grunting but he was not interested. Can't blame him as he was chowing down in a food plot with lady friends. I was in my tower stand on my cousins...
