    Big D*** Revolvers

    I tend to think the big bores are the place where revolvers really shine these days. There is little point to a .357 magnum wheel gun when you can carry a Glock 20. I have several and, and they rarely leave my safe. I have a 4" S&W 629 from the early 80's that I had Magnaported. It is very...

    Wolverines now protected under ESA in lower 48

    What is ideal wolverine habitat? The danger of ESA protection, is that the government can use it to stop you from developing or using your own private land.

    Barrel just blew up

    Glad OP was not injured. The cost of a shotgun is peanuts compared to medical bills.

    Chest rig experiences? FHF vs HPG

    It is a bit like drawing from a horizontal shoulder holster in that you need to be careful not to sweep your support side arm. The correct technique is to lift your off side elbow as your strong hand grips the pistol and keep it up while you get the pistol pointed away from you. Then you can...

    New muzzleloader that won’t break the bank

    I don't have a NW compliant gun, but I have had two CVA guns that shot great, and the price is very reasonable.

    Chest rig experiences? FHF vs HPG

    I have a FHF original bino pouch with a rangefinder pouch on the harness. I used it extensively for several years including a trip to Africa and an archery Elk hunt in ID. What I didn't like about it was that it required me to carry my pistol on my hip, which is problematic when fishing in...

    Experience with Hodgdon Superformance? 30-06?

    Amen to that. Start low, work up, look for signs of pressure. I'll be shooting a ladder of three shot groups with the new powder to work up to my charge. Thanks for the tip on 4064. I believe I have some around. If I can get 3k out of a 180 bullet in .30-06, that makes my 300 Win Mag...

    300 win mag options

    I have a Tikka T3X Veil Widelands in .308, and I am very happy with it. I would not hesitate to buy one in 300 Win Mag. It comes with a threaded barrel and is ceracoated. The only mod I made was to add a couple of spacers to increase the LOP, as I am tall. Link

    30-06 vs 300 Weatherby Mag

    I have a Weatherby Accumark in 300 Wby. I got it as an Elk rifle. I already had Win 70s in 300 Win Mag and 375 H&H, but I wanted an all weather rifle. I am very pleased with it. The rifle shoots sub-MOA with my hand loads using 180 grain Accubonds. The 300 Wby predates the 300 Min Mag and...

    Is bareshaft tuning a bunch of B.S?

    It is a real thing. I have no skill at it ( I tried), but the guy at the bow shop did my bow for me, and it subsequently shots broad heads and field points to the same POI.

    300 win mag options

    I am amazed by the number of guys on Rokslide who obsess over recoil. I have taken a lot of animals with a 300 Win Mag. It is a great cartridge with a long track record that will take care of business with some margin for error. I own two rifles chambered in that cartridge: A Remington 700 BDL...

    6.5 Creedmoor Penetration

    I shot a button buck this week with a 6.5CM. Load was a hand loaded 140 grain Accubond. It was a snap shot through the woods at 78 yards. Double lung shot. Broke a rib on both sides. The bullet fragmented slightly, but the main body of passed through. Deer stumbled and fell a bit down the...

    Is LC brass "Good" brass?

    In my experience IMR 4895 is to .308 what IMR 4350 is to 30-06. They go together like peanut butter and jelly. Good luck.

    Experience with Hodgdon Superformance? 30-06?

    I'm curious to know which book. That is quick for a 180 with 4350. But you do have a longer barrel than I do. My Wearthery MkV Ultra Lightweight is 22". The last printed Barnes manual I have (no. 4) shows a max charge of 55 grains of 4350 with a 180 grain TSX and a tested velocity of 2727...

    Is LC brass "Good" brass?

    I have had great look using mil-surp LC brass to load .308. I am not shooting max loads. I shoot 168 grain pills (SMKs as well as TTSX) over 41.3 grains of IMR 4895 and Federal 210 primers. Consistently sub-MOA out of a variety of guns. I'd be careful pushing those heavy bullets you are...

    Experience with Hodgdon Superformance? 30-06?

    I have a 30-06 that shoots lights out with Barnes factory Vor-TX ammo loaded with 180 grain TTSX. It chronos an average of right at 2750, just like it says on the box. I have a similar load I developed using IMR 4064, but it is 100 fps slower. I'd like to clone the Barnes load. I notice they...

    Bergara b14 hunter problem

    I am not a big believer in any kind of formal break in process. Just shoot it and clean after shooting the first few times works for me. Are you by chance shooting monometals? I find with Barnes bullets, I have to clean with copper solvent every 30 rounds or so. Otherwise my groups open up

    What does he score?

    I am interested to hear the result. Great deer. Congrats. Killing a buck like that on the ground with a bow is very impressive.
