I know this may be a long shot with the high B.C. craze that everyone is swept up in. I need some round nose 243 bullets. Really want the 100 grainers but Speer 105’s would be equally welcome. Any leads would be greatly appreciated!
I’m debating on trying the 100 gr oryx in 243. I already have an accurate load for the 95 grain sst. But the oryx sounds promising. Any experience/ recipes you fellas have would be appreciated.
I have a couple questions if the rifle is still available. What state are you in/ how much to ship to Maine. Also would this be shipped from an ffl on your end or from you personally to my ffl?
So I was hunting with my son last weekend. Was thinking how moments like that were better than shooting a ten pointer that can pull a skidder. Even if we only saw a couple gray squirrels. What are some of your most memorable hunts? Whether it is a buck that was “ten feet between the eyes” or...
I wash my hands several times before handling primers. I resize and trim all brass then wash hands, prime all brass and go from there. Could have been a bad primer
I have a couple ar’s and a few bolt guns. The ar’s are fun but don’t get brought to the range every time I go. I never go without a bolt gun. Both are awesome. Semi gives you a quicker follow up shot, but a bolt gun can be cycled surprisingly fast. There are plenty of sub $500 dollar bolt guns...
Barnes says with their bullets you can go down in weight with theirs from what your rifle likes in lead core, so if you’re getting good groups with their 180’s try 200 gr lead core offerings. The Barnes bullets have a relatively low bc so they slow down faster than a good lead core. If you...
My 300 wsm savage with a 20 inch barrel and limb saver pad kick less than my 30-06 with a 24 inch barrel, neither of which have any muzzle device. If you do get a wsm I have a good 220gr recipe and a great 180gr recipe I could share to steer you in the right direction
300 wsm is a good choice as well, a little less recoil. More velocity/energy with bullets up to 180gr. Plus the benefits of a shorter rifle. They’re not as pretty as an x bolt but savages are easy to rebarrel yourself if you shoot a lot. For what you’re looking to spend you could get the rifle a...
That’s wild about your savage! I have a model 11 that is a real shooter even with a 20” barrel. I wonder if it was action screw torque messing with the group sizes
