8x57 mauser and 7.62x54 russian bolt action rifles. Assuming you are blasting surplus. Then Russian 5.45 followed by 7.62x39, then .223 as far as ammo prices. The rifles are Mosin Nagant by far the cheapest. Mausers are getting hard to find good surplus so prices are getting out of hand. Then...
So wrong! the .308 will not will not even come out of the box and into the extractor in a rifle that is chambered for 8x57. The .308 case is way to FAT to even get the shoulder in the chamber. The 8x57 will make its way into the .308 chamber, but the fat .323 bullet will stop at the throat and...
Owned 3 AK's Two Romanian CAI builds, and 1 GP parts kit build that was way nicer than the CAI builds. Over the years I have came across several commie mags that were new in wrapper and were worthless. I have had USA mags that were worthless... I have a few USA mags that have never missed a...
I see every .223 gel test, barrier gel, glass gel, wall gel test at 10 yards...... Can anybody do a 100 yard test? If you have done it please post me a link. I really like what the 55 gr FMJ does at close range, but will it make a .22 caliber ice pick hole at 100? BTW I keep the top 10 rounds 55...
.308 with 155 AMAX 12" twist, or 175 SMK with a 10 twist. The latter being a battle proven combo. Sent over 1K of those downrange. Very predictable, very accurate, very known, and to those who pick up arms against our forces.... A very deadly combo. And very easy to find in commercial brands...
Don't get all gacked up on caffene and have your heart beating out of your chest! Stay calm and relaxed. Breathing control really matters and never squeeze at the top of your breath. Steady breathing and about 1/3 breath release is when I touch off. I pause for slight second as I send one. I...
I've tried from 50 grains to where I am at in baby steps. Published max un the new hornaday manual says 56.2 is at 2900 out of a 23 inch barrel. I'd believe it. I'm just showing signs of pressure so I'm gonna stop! Most def gonna back down as the deer will never know the difference and bullet...
I have been steady working up a recipe for 8x57 to hunt with out of my M48A. It is a brand new unissued rifle, so plenty strong. Don't take this recipe and just throw it together in any old 8mm. It is max load for "MY RIFLE". The primer is flat but not bulged. here it goes... Remington Brass...
Try a yugo m48 or 24/47 they are a bit shorter than the standard 98 action, but still able to seat the .308 at just about any OAL and bullet combo you want... There is just a lack of better quality stocks due to the shorter action. If you want to keep it in mitilary form then great! I'm sure...
Dillos are in Florida in full force!! And how would you score a dillo that is a wad of ground dillo? Gather up all the pieces and weigh it? During bow season when I see a dillo. I try to stick him. They are about the size of a deer's vitals. Makes for good practice.
If the DNR cannot get it back, ill just tail him to walmart or the gas station or whererver he stops and ill re take it from his truck. Ill get it back 1 way or another
Yea, but with my luck they would steal the camera also. I'm just snakebit! I fed are a 8 point on the drive home! And it made me really angry that I scouted found a tree with good visability mounted the stand. Threw a burlap over it. Came back to hunt it and found it gone. Footprints lead to my...
Def.. Gonna let the DNR ranger do his job! If these guys are anything like I believe they are then they may land in jail after the ranger gets them. I more than likely will be content with their fines and or hunting license being taken... Just thinking about what I could do if the "right" way...
They are not as destructive as a 50 grain hollowpoint at 3400 fps! Especially dead center on a dillo! Ode to the 2am dillo raids with spotlights Yamaha rino's and flattop AR's with the comp M2
I had a tree stand stolen off a tree recently and they are now using it only 100 yards from where the took it from. This is Georgia wildlife management land and they are hunting over bait.... I have contacted the DNR rangers and they are looking into the issue. I believe they will get cited for...
Yea! The load data on the bottle shows 2100 fps with a 260 grain bullet!! I may consider changing to a spitzer like the SST. Ill have to see what works with my twist rate! Should have done this over the summer instead of season!
Thanks! I just picked up a pound of it and some magnum 11 caps! Thanks again. Ill do some testing this weekend after I try to cap a deer. Still have a load in the rifle!
