    Bore scope

    " Not for Colonoscopy " . Lol There is nothing wrong with knowing what the barrel looks like but if it ain't broke don't fix it . My barrels shoot better when they are not clean . Sent from my LM-K920 using Tapatalk

    Barrel cleaning, carbon and copper

    I seldom clean a rifle barrel until groups start to open up which takes a lot of shooting . I do run a bore snake through it every now and again . Sent from my LM-K920 using Tapatalk

    Minimum safe loads- which data do I use

    What is the shoulder length from base on full sized or new factory brass and brass fired in the gun . If the difference is enough to cause problems the fix would be to fire form brass to your chamber with powder puff loads . Sent from my LM-K920 using Tapatalk

    30-06 & 180...

    I have tried all of the bullets mentioned over the past 40+ years and all put down game as expected with only a few exceptions . Lately I have been using what is as close to the " majic bullet " as there is . Cavity back bullets . The 168 grain in 30/06 is super accurate handles wind like a...

    30-06 & 180...

    Are you sure it was partitions? 1 the front portion doesn't separate it expands vilontly and fragments leaving the back portion to continue on and exit . You must be shooting them really slow to be recovering them as they almost always exit . Back in the late 80s or early 90s ballistic tips...

    Load problems- Feel like starting over....Where do I start?

    Bullets touching the lands doesn't give any room for change in pressure because of powder variation from lot to lot or temperature change . I would carefully recheck all measurements and back bullets up a few thousands and powder down a couple of grains and start over . Different bullets...

    seokladuckin I agree with that theory . If you had taken that deer after the rut you would have probably found very little if any fat . Sent from my LM-K920 using Tapatalk

    Best 243 bullet for deer?

    90 grain accubond is a great bullet . The accubond has a flat face when expanded which leaves a bigger hole and displaces more tissue than bullets that mushrooms with round faces . Probably the best . 243 bullet ever designed is the 92 grain cavity back maximum kill zone ...

    Bullet jump?

    Why would you think you would not be able to with some bullets ? People confuse OAL with CBTO length . The OAL determines if it will fit in the magazine the base to oglive length determines how much if any bullet jump . It is possible for one bullet of a certain weight to be crammed into the...

    Bullet jump?

    You have to check the bullet jump for each bullet you load . One brand 180 grain bullet may have a . 020 jump at a given OAL and a 180 grain bullet of a different brand may be crammed tight or . 040 out at the same OAl .That is because different shaped bullets of the same weight have the ogive...

    It’s Decided, E-Tips For Hunting This Year

    E - tips are a love hate relationship in 6.8s . I think they do better if you don't load long and give them a little jump . I used to only sling lead but E- tip and cavity back bullets 70 grain .223 bullets really make it look bigger than it is . Sent from my...

    Deer running after being hit?

    Kinda hard for the heart to pump blood to follow when shredded . Always best to get above the heart and take out both lungs if you need a blood trail . Sent from my LM-K920 using Tapatalk

    Deer running after being hit?

    Dead deer do not run , if your deer ran over 100 yards it was because you didn't kill it quickly , period . If you take out the cns they are down right there ( spine included) . If you take out both lungs they have 3 to 10 seconds before going down depending on whether...

    Polar Bear, 1920

    From the angle of arrows I would say the bear was facing him and standing on hind legs or less likely asleep . Unless the rear shaft is a tranquilizer delivery system . Sent from my LM-K920 using Tapatalk
