So I recently acquired a Savage 111 in 270 Winchester that is giving me a headache. Its used, made in the early 90's I believe. When I first got it I used a set of Go- No-Go gauges to make sure there were no issues with headspace. The first 4 rounds I ran through it were a starting load of a...

Just curious to see what bullet you guys would recommend for pulling double duty. Where I hunt in western PA it's not unusual for bucks to field dress around 200 lbs. A couple of my spots are on the edge of the woods overlooking fields. Shots could be short or long. I'd like to find a bullet...

Ive got an 18" bolt action 30-06 that is light, balances nicely, and seems like it'd make a great woods rifle. In reading through different forums to see what I could expect from a short barreled 30-06, I found a lot of people were turned off by the amount of muzzle blast. So i went on...

So Ive already got a couple good rifles ready to go for black bear season. I just picked up a 30-06 I found a good deal on, and figured Id try to get option number three ready to go for November in PA. Where I hunt they can get big, but shots are never further than 200 yards. Ive got Speer...

I'm getting ready to reload some 7mm Remington Magnum brass from Winchester. I always full length resize and trim it down with a Lee case length gage and cutter. I've probably loaded each piece about 5 times now, with a load that's more like a maxed out 280 Remington. I did the paper clip...

Just curious to see wat you guys are finding Savage 111s for for rifle builds. I found one for $260 tonight in 30-06 plane Tupperware stock and a cheap tasco 3-9. I offered $240 and they bit.

So Ive got a 25-06 that shoots factory loaded 115 Partitions from Federal into half inch groups @ 100yds. (4 shots) Federal's website says they're coming out at 3030fps, but I've not checked that with my chronograph. The load data on Nosler's website also indicates that they found best accuracy...

Just checking to see if anyone knows where I can buy a plain Jane synthetic stock to fit a Savage 114 in 7mm RM. Its a detachable magazine. I'm not after anything custom, just want something oem or relatively cheap to put on it when the weather is bad and I don't want to quit hunting. I was...

So I'm thinking about trying a new deer/blackbear load in my 375 Ruger Alaskan Brush Hunter. I've got them on hand already, and I was actually thinking about downloading them to mimic a 375 Winchester. Ranges would be no further than 200 yards. Sounds like a mild mannered thumper in a...

So, I'm getting ready to buy a 308 win and I'm trying to decide which bullet I should try first. I'll be chasing big PA black bear (to 200 yards) and PA whitetail (to 300) yards. The rifle I'm getting has an 18" barrel. QuickLoad tells me I can get a 150gr partition to about 2800fps, and a...
