I'll never get rid of the Buffalo Gun!!!
My 45/70 is a Buffalo Classic. It is a ton of fun. However with the steel butt plate and a shooting weight of nine pounds, even light loads trash the shoulder.
I filled up the buttstock with a few pounds of lead to dampen recoil. That helps with...
Myself being the dummy in question.
Rather than hi-jack the other thread, I started this one.
Due to a work injury I can't shoot IPSC. In addition. I am a much better rifleman than pistol shooter.
I don't think I can afford another new gun. I have bought two new guns this year as well as a...
What are some common off the shelf turn key rifles that would be good for F-Class. Most common calibers? Most common scopes?
Would a Savage 10FP in 308 be competitive? Lot of folks on the web seem to like them. Both of my hunting rifles probably are not suitable due to thin barrels...
I have the Howaby in 300 Weatherby Magnumb. I saw it at 3:30am at the local Wally World after a long stretch of 12 hour shifts. It was on clearance at $299.
Burned out from way too many long hours and low pay, I figured:
The gods must be crazy
I was hallucinating because of sleep depravation...
I am using RL-15 and 180gr Sierra Pro Hunters.
Both of my Enfields are milsurps. My load is close enough to the military load that it works well with the battle sights.

Oh Yeah, I almost forgot.
HEY NOSLER, HOW 'BOUT MAKING SOME .311 BULLETS FOR MY ENFIELDS!!!
How stuck on a DA/SA are you?
Take a good look at the Springfield XD Series. I have two XD45's and I'll never to back to traditional DA/SA. XD's are rugged, reliable, accurate and reasonably priced. I use a XD45 Service(4" barrel) for carry and a XD45 Tactical (5" barrel) for gun games...

I don't load for the Garand, but..... A Google search turned up

This should give you a starting point for handloading.
There is also plenty of surplus ammo still around for the Garand.

Are you handloading? What's the OAL of your load? If you are tying to seat to the lands you may have the bullet seated out too far.
Never used Accubonds. I have too many 30 cal bullets on hand as it is. From what I have read here and on other forums, the Accubond does well at long or...
I use 180gr Partitions in both a 300 WBY and 300 Savage. The bullet deformation that happens during chambering doesn't affect accuracy in my guns at all. It shouldn't affect accuracy in your gun. It just looks funny.
The Deer won't be able to tell the difference.

A couple of years ago on another board, one of the worst, nastiest and funniest threads I have ever read involved the Matchking. Specifically whether or not the Matchking should be used for hunting. Every possible arguement pro, con, valid or stupid concerning the Matchking is contained in...
The benchmark load for 270 is 60gr of H4831 and a 130gr bullet. This is my main load for my 270. I use a load of 58gr of H4831 for 150gr Partitons. Both loads shoot under an inch from my M700 Tupperware Special.
One load I was using for awhile was 54gr of IMR-4350 and Hornady BTSP bullets...
