Hello and welcome to deer hunting. I have a separate thread about an unexpected bullet failure out of a .308 on a hard angle through a whitetails shoulder, very similar to .30-06 in most factory loads. I don’t think the bullet weight or construction on any factory loaded hunting ammo is a bad...

.38spl, Agree, is what I thought I was doing with stepping up to a 180gr in a .308. Only has a 20” barrel too, so not like it’s exceeding advertised muzzle velocities or anything. I got it specifically for stalking and tracking expecting close, fast shots at less than optimal angles. In it’s...

Hello all, I have a Remington 7600 that started life as a .308 Win, but after test firing it to make sure it worked I had it rebored into a .358 Win which was my plan when I bought it.. Shot an elk and a whitetail with it, didn’t do anything I thought a .308 wouldn’t do, plus factory barrel...

400ish. The trigger ain’t bad except for the 3.6 miles of pre travel, that’s what I’m looking to get rid of.

You know which trigger he used?

Hello all, Have a full size M&P 10mm, love the gun but the trigger leaves a lot to be desired. Have considered replacing it with Apex aftermarket trigger, but the .45 trigger has a “not tested on 10mm” or some such disclaimer. I assume this is legal mumbo jumbo and should work just fine, but...

Hello all. I have a late model Remington 7600 (ones with the crappy polymer bottom mags) that I bought as a .308 Win with the sole intention of reboring into a .358 Winchester, which I did. The rifle did not shoot well before or after it was rebored, but was good enough for a <100 yard stalking...

Hey Spot, thanks for replying. What load is your son using with the H4895? Hodgon’s website is listing 43-47.5 grains for the 220 Speer, but no comment on primers and using a much longer test barrel than mine for their velocities.

Hello all. Apparently I am developing a mid-bore addiction. Have a 35 Rem load worked out as my introduction to reloading and seem to have immediately moved on to working something up for my .358 Win. Interesting little gun, is a rebored Rem 7600 with the barrel trimmed down to 19” wearing a red...

Was my first rifle, killed my first buck with it. Otherwise, would have been gone by now. Will try a proven scope on it (have a nightforce I'm not using right now). If that doesn't work, will go with rebarrelling or retirement.

No iron sights on the mountain rifles. Is actually one of the frustrating things... I shoot iron sights well enough to just use those at the distances I hunt. Have changed scopes and rings a couple times over this process too, guess should have mentioned that. Guess it wouldn't hurt anything to...

I have had a Remington 700 Miutain Rifle in .270 Win for about 25 years. It was rock solid for the first 10, then got a little twitchy. Barrel started requiring meticulous cleaning with limited range between "fouled enough" and "too dirty, then gummed the trigger up with WD 40 (it was the...

Ok, I'll be more specific. Most Les Baer 1911s (that are considered to be on the far end of extreme for a carry gun) come with a 3"/50yd guarantee with proper ammunition. I have two revolvers that are close, none of my autoloaders are. They aren't $2,500 custom built 1911s, not fair to expect...

I'm sure this will cause a bunch of unnecessary pain, but I'm going to ask anyway. Will start with why I'm asking. Looking to thin the heard a little and get myself down to one defensive pistol. Thought was going to be an old large frame revolver of my grandfather's, but gonna take too much...

Anybody have any experience with a Springfield Loaded 1911 in terms of how many rounds you can get out of one before they get wonky?
