The Hornady FTX Bullets have really given a great kick in performance to the ol' 30-30. When handloaded with stiff load of Leverevolution powder you can get about 2450FPS with the 140g FTX. With a 200 yd zero you bullet never rises more than 3.1" above then line of sight and drops 5.2 at 250...

IMHO the 09 Argentine is the pinnacle of the Mauser 98, with an action that cycles like butter. To remove the markings doesn't make it sleeker, just plain..

If it was a carbine, it could have had the bolt forged in the 90 degree position. Regardless there should MAUSER MODELO ARGENTINO on the side of the receiver: Additionally, If its an Argentine the moron who reworked it removed the Image on the top This emblem consists of a wreath enclosing...

I have one in 7mm-08 with an accu-trigger (still with the cheap plastic stock but dont care, its a hunting rifle). I glass bedded the recoil lug/chamber and the rear tang and free floated the barrel and can shoot sub-1inch groups at 100 yds using 120g Nosler and 40g IMR 4007 SSC. Killed deer...

Capt Awesome, To begin with a GameKing is a SPBT and a great hunting bullet while a MatchKing is a HPBT and NOT suitable for hunting. See link Below: https://www.sierrabullets.com/products/bullets/rifle.cfm/caliberID/8 That being said if you are dead set on using 140g bullets I would give...

338 Win Mag. I can load for $18.00 (Hornady 200g SST) retail $39.00 21$ savings (less tha1/2)

dak0ta I have heard of the wad stopping "chokes" and the concept seems solid. If I have an extra $$ I want to blow, I may get a Patternmaster code black goose actually you can find them on ebay for about 84 bucks

225 FPS (an arrow)

I've used Superformace,in 30-60 .270 25-06 as well as 7mm-08 and only the max loads will be compressed but it still fills the case pretty completely. I've found in the "-06" Family of cartridges, magnum primers produce more more consistent velocities. But in the "308" Family standard primers...

You seem to equate steel and lead shot as the same thing THEY ARE NOT!!!! Buck shot and turkey loads are lead and unless you are breaking the law waterfoul loads are steel shot. They cannot be treated the same way. I guess you are bent on choking steel shot no matter what anyone says. good...

By their very nature 3.5 inchers will have a longer shotstring than the 3". That being said in my 10 years of goose/duck hunting I have found steel doesn't like to be compressed, and the larger the shot size the more it doesn't like it. I shoot an 11-87 super mag 3.5" BB or BBB Black Cloud or...

I was hoping there would be shotgun load data but alas....No

AA#5

I have to confess I didn't read 100% of every previous post so forgive me if this was mentioned. Some of these variations you see manual to manual can be because of different brands of bullet in the same bullet weight. For instance a 7mm Speer 140g spitzer will require different load data than...

With your 158SWC 4.8g Bullseye, about 900 fps or 6g Unique for 1030 fps. A lighter bullet will reduce recoil
