Thanks guys! I like both as well although I have never owned either in a hunting rifle. Do have an AR in 308 and have greatly enjoyed shooting it but not at any distance. I think I will go with the 7-08. When he graduates from college we can get something bigger if he needs it. Thank you for...
I have a Rem 700 that I won last spring a Mule Deer Foundation Dinner. The rifle is chambered in 243. I want to build my son, who will be twelve this spring, a rifle that he could use for deer, antelope and elk. I plan to have Pac-Nor replace the barrel and true the action for Christmas and then...
Which ever rifle I have in my hands during the hunt!! :mrgreen:
I have killed three elk with the Sako 75 in 300 wsm. One elk with a 30-378 Roy in an Accumark. One elk with a 257 Roy in an ultralight. I really wanted to hunt with my 7mm STW but for some reason my accuracy always falls apart...
Last summer I purchased a Glock 20sf but have not shot it much since ammo is so expensive. I finally have the components together: Nosler 180 JHP, Starline brass, WLP primers, and was finally able to score four pounds of blue dot. I have very little experience in pistol reloading.
Typically...
Excellent Job! I have found that shooting/hunting/fishing is/are excellent motivators for my children as well! My 7 year old boy Jacob (the oldest of four) was lagging at reading at the beginning of the year. I told him that if he worked as hard as he could and improved his reading scores, I...
I have watched this fool for a while now. This hypocrite has been behind the vast majority of the legislation to ban everything from the bullet button to magazine kits etc. I finally figured it out.... He doesn't want competition at least legal competition. I hope that they lock his illegal...
Another excellent story Dr. Mike. Thank you for sharing. If you ever need a pack mule let me know. I would be willing to work for a fine supper :grin: ! Also, can't wait to hear about the Smokies.
Congratulations on the initiation into the excellent hobby/passion that is reloading. The only thing that I would add is that I would check SPS more often than weekly. Bullets, Brass, etc. fly off there shelves in a matter of minutes.
I am looking for a pair of binoculars for my seven year old son. He has had two different Tasco cheapy binoculars and after about 2 years they fall apart. I am hoping to spend under $80. They need to be small enough for a seven year old to hold for some glassing sessions. I was on camera...
It seems a daunting task. I had the RCBS supreme kit for several months before I began reloading--just because I am very found of my fingers. Just be sure to take your time. If you know someone whom reloads, and you trust, I would ask them to let you watch them work completely through a...
Not sure if you need a heavy bullet, but in my Sako 75, I run the 180 grain Accubond over 69 grains of RL 22 and a Federal 215m primer. The 69 grains of RL22 is book max so of course you would need to work up to that load. Good luck
I like the rifle. I like it a lot. Sounds like you had some great times with your uncle. What ever happened to that stock build that you had going on? How did it turn out?
I have used the TTSX bullet on a number of animals in a number of calibers and never noticed a significant amount of blood shot meat especially when compared to a cup and core bullet or even a bonded bullet for that matter.
