    Cartridge ideas on 30/06 rebarrel options

    Oh it’s awesome. I’m loving it and super happy with how it turned out. There is no problem with feeding. I set it up with both the standard stock with blind magazine and also the Magpul magazine/magwell and a Stocky’s stock. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    "Old Rifles"

    Nice! I shot my first deer with my dad’s 1976 Marlin 444 Sporter. Still have it. Carried it a couple days hunting this year but no luck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    "Old Rifles"

    My grandfathers REM 721 built in 1952, though I’ve spun on a different barrel so I can keep using rather than leaving it with a bad barrel in the closet. This pics from last season. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The 6UM

    Ok, so not the 8 inches penetration before upset at that closer range? And forgive me for posting here in 6um thread but I AM talking at 6mm creedmoor velocities. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The 6UM

    Is there anything else that can be done to the DTAC's to shorten that neck length specifically for deer? Filing or cutting the tip? I ask because my initial testing has them shooting better than the Hornady and Berger bullets I've tested, I'd love to have 1 bullet and load for everything...

    Muzzleloader Hunting Success Thread

    Maybe I've missed it, but is there a Muzzleloader Hunting Success thread? If not, here we go. Post'em up! I know this will not be along the lines of what most are using in the current muzzeloader/primitive weapons seasons, but using my Lyman Great Plains 54 cal, that I built from kit near...

    Sold WTB: 115gr DTAC NR

    I'm all set. Would like to buy a small sample size of the 6mm Dtac NR to test with. I hate to spend $200+ for 500 just to experiment. Looking for just a small sample, 25-50 bullets.

    How does one go about getting the deep cut Dtac’s? I can’t see any ordering option. Is that something that’s done by you guys after you get them? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Going from multiple rifles to just one

    Almost all eastern whitetail, but I’ve hunted western mule deer and Canada black bear. Now that I’m retired, I’ll do some of those western hunts again to include elk but it will be with the guns I have. In the past my primary was 7mm mag, with 338 win mag, 30/06, 270 in the mix. Now it’s 223 and...

    Going from multiple rifles to just one

    I’ve got many guns handed down or sentimental in some way, stuff like 30/30 lever, 444 marlin, but I’ve sold off most of my other hunting rifles (larger bolt guns) and was down to 1. I’ve added an AR to that so I’m at AR for 223/77TMK and a bolt action in 243/108ELDM, as pretty much my only 2...

    AR vs Bolt

    Last year was the first time I’ve hunted with my AR. I loved it. This week so far I’ve spent 2 days hunting with my bolt gun( 1 deer and 1 hog taken) and 2 days carrying my AR. 2-3 miles walking a day with combination of ground blind, box stand and still hunting. I really like having a choice...

    Rem 721 or Tikka “semi custom” help

    That sounds like the right way to go for your situation. And that’s coming from someone who went the opposite way for my own reasons and am so glad I rebarrelled my 721. Love my 721 that was 30/06 and I’d now 243 fast twist. But it IS a sentimental gun that I’ll never part with, plus I want to...

    Rechambering Rem 700LA 270Win for lower recoil and great "heavy for caliber" hunting performance. What caliber?

    I went from 30/06 to fast twist 243 and am very happy with it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Your deer rifle--why'd you choose .243 or 6.5 CM?

    I recently rebarreled a 30/06 to 243. Couldn’t be happier with it. I am handloading and shooting heavy bullets. and able to load them long in my long action Remington. I considered MANY long and short action rounds but with current bullets I felt like the 243/6mm did everything I needed and...
