Good afternoon gents. I've convinced myself to get a 7 PRC. But... Reading on other forums it seems that there are some inconsistencies in the chamber dimensions of some rifles which can lead to case bulging above the head and causing and issue with sticking cases. Some are calling it 'click'...

I got a 200lb (ish) feral pig over the weekend. Shot her in dense cover at about 20 paces with a 165 grain Accubond in a 308. The entrance was just between the left ear and left shoulder. About an inch lower than my point of aim. Forgot that my line of sight would be higher than the bullet...

I have a Remington SPS Tactical in .308 with a 20” barrel. 1-10 twist, I believe. It shoots really good with 168 grain Hornady Match HPBT. I’ve taken an antelope with it using a 168 grain Amax. But I’m going after pigs, and I worry the Amax may not be up to the job. What do you guys...

Anyone hunting in Utah this year? My cc got hit for a nonresident deer tag fee. Looks like I got to get in shape for hunting... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using Tapatalk

I cannot log into the forum using Tapatalk. It just started doing this today. Has anyone else had a problem?

One of the reasons that I don't reload more, is because of my difficulty in load development. I need an inexpensive, portable shooting platform. What do you guys use? Sent from the edge of my galaxy

If one was to be in the market for a .338 RUM, where would one look? I see some Senderos on the used market, but it doesn't look like Remington is making them any more. It seems that everyone either wants the .338 Win Mag, or the Lapua.

I got a lead on a No. 1 in .338 Winchester Magnum for $600. I need a crash course on what to look for on this particular rifle. I've heard that No.1 rifles are sometimes finicky to get them to shoot. Sent from the edge of my galaxy

Can anyone here recommend any good audiobooks that are hunting/gun related? Sent from the edge of my galaxy

What rifle cartridge exists that will, with consistency, knock an elk down. I mean like Thor's hammer knockdown DRT. Or does it not exist? I've never been fortunate enough to take an elk. But I'm wondering if such a cartridge exists that will hammer an elk like my .308 did to my antelope...

First day of the fall turkey season, yesterday. First day hunting turkey, ever for me. And the first day hunting the Kaibab. Hung out most of the day within a few miles of Jacob's Lake. Since it was all new to me, and thick trees, I didn't venture too far from the many numbered roads. My...

My first antelope and my first big game animal, after several years of hunting 320 yards .308 Win, Rem 700 SPS Tactical 168 grain AMAX Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using Tapatalk

Does this look like copper fouling to you? I cleaned the bore, but I couldn't remove this discoloration near the crown. I've got some copper solvent that I may try tomorrow. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk

I've noticed in my short time on this forum that there is some serious love for the .35 Whelen. If I didn't know any better I'd think some kind of sickness is going around. Why is it so sought after? Won't any of the traditional calibers work just as well? How does it compare to the 300 or...

I'm going to Sportsman's this afternoon. I don't need a Vanguard S2 .257 Weatherby. Please talk me out of it. It's too expensive to shoot. It's too hard on barrels. It's over-rated. Many other cartridges do the same thing. It's not big enough for elk. Anything 6.5, 7, or 30 is better.

So I'm going antelope hunting in southern Utah this fall. My hunting mentor/co-worker is telling me to sight in my '06 at 300 yards. I gotta say, I'm skeptical. My RAR '06 likes Federal 150 grain soft points, and zeroed at 300 gives a 10" arc from 100-350 yards. He's telling me that 300...

After work this evening, a buddy of mine let me shoot his 'sledgehammer'. That's what he calls his .378 Weatherby. Unfortunately, I didn't think to get a picture of his rifle. It was a Mark V with a synthetic stock. I'm not sure if it was a Bell & Carlson or a HS Precision stock. He ordered it...

I just picked up a Hornady Comparator set for bullet seating depth, and the headspace bushings for bumping shoulders. I loaded up a ladder test sometime ago, and just used the 2.2" COAL found in my Barnes data for the 53 grain TSX. Note the depth of the bullet to the last ring: Then, I...

I'm pretty much a wannabe when it comes to hunting. I've been deer hunting a total of 4 times in the last 14 years. I've never put one in the freezer. In 2013, the last time I went, I drew out for Utah's muzzleloader season. A co-worker who is a die-hard hunter (he has a 208" Muley on his...
