How many hunting rifles do you have?
I have way too many guns from my younger years. As I got older, quality over quantity became more apparent. It’s hard to sell used rifles unless it’s discounted so much it becomes a major loss. The whole “guns hold their value” thing is BS; like everything, a used gun is only worth what someone... -
Tikka Stock suggestions
Is there a thinner recoil pad available that fits the e factory stock to reduce the LOP a bit? I really like 13.5” -

Springfield Waypoint vs Weatherby 307
I have only handled both, not shot. I was skeptical about the 307, but it actually felt very nice and smooth. I was looking to buy a Waypoint but there were just too many bad reports of feeding issues online. I think I’m going to move forward with a 307 receiver and barrel it. -
.223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.
That’s awesome. It still just blows me away the damage that little bullet does. -

250 Savage Cow Elk Bullet
I just did some pressure/velocity testing with the 100gr Hornady Interlock. I forgot I had a few boxes of those… and I’m impressed. Using Leverevolution, I hit 2840fps before velocity starting to drop with increased charges, so that’s my max load. Pressures looked fine, which indicates this... -
250 Savage Cow Elk Bullet
I don’t get offended. Out of the 100’s the Pro Hunter is most accurate as I mentioned in post 1. Also mentioned in post 1, is all the 100’s listed in that post shoot with acceptable accuracy (under 1.7 moa at 100, 5 shot groups). The most accurate loads to date are with a 75gr Vmax and 85gr... -
250 Savage Cow Elk Bullet
Did you recover the elk? I’m curious if you saw a lack of expansion. I think a 243 with a short barrel or shot at a little distance would be a good analog for evaluating these bullet types. I forgot I also have some Hornady Interlock 100 gr. There is also of course the 87gr bullets: Hot... -

Did you get a pass through? Just curious. -
250 Savage Cow Elk Bullet
Have you killed with the 25-45? I shot a Javelina with 25-223 using a 90gr Sierra HPBT and it blew a softball sized exit out of him at 170 yards. -
250 Savage Cow Elk Bullet
My thoughts on avoiding the TTSX is the more narrow wound channel they create vs lead core. -
250 Savage Cow Elk Bullet
Thanks. That’s good information… info on 250 Savage is scarce these days. I did this Wildcat because I had a ton of 6.8 components and 25 cal bullets from a 25-223 AR project, so I just put them together… my 12.5” 6.8 is what I killed my last bull and couse with using 120gr MKZ bullets. Since it... -
250 Savage Cow Elk Bullet
They are too long for the AR mag at 2.30 COAL I could either A) make a windowed mag to gain a tiny amount of usable COAL or B) Chop off the tips… which would work and I would think would not impact the bullets ability to expand, but I can’t say for sure and am therefore apprehensive of doing... -
Weatherby is circling the toilet bowl
Their new High Country looks good on paper. 243 with a 1:7.5 twist. I would like to know what the max COAL for their magazine is. I would personally chop that barrel down to 16.5” and put a can on it…
