For a Savage 340C where the old bullet point to primer issue doesn't matter, is the tried and true Core-Lokt still the best for shooting deer in the thick woods (under 100 yards)? It seems that the shape of the bullet itself (regular soft point) will expand better at the slow 30-30 velocities...

In most states it's legal to defend with up to lethal force against an intruder. It seems to be gray area on property vandalism and theft. In St. Louis last year a man shot and killed a teen who had broken into his car at night. He was cleared of the offense due to the circumstance. If a thief...

Curious what this is? Maybe a knock off of a Model 60 Glenfield Marlin?

I'm curious if it's worth having an oddball caliber by comparison. I have two long range shooter friends who recommend or have made choices away from 308 and towards one of the two 6.5mm chamberings.

Can the two be looked at as in the same realm? In other words basically irrelevant in their differences as a hunting caliber? From what I can see it looks like they're on par in energy with 5.56 in the 62 grain 3200 fps range and I see lots of heated debate about it's use for hunting. Then on...

Assuming it fits the barrel (especially with cast) and is half way of good quality, I don't notice a difference at 20 yards. I'm not talking shooting a group with bullet A, then shooting with bullet B and group B just happens to be 2" smaller due to luck, etc. I'm talking the same results with a...

I've been curious on DI Gas guns (AR's etc)... does the gas pressure alone blow the bolt to the complete rearward position or just unlock the bolt while the cartridge's recoil does the rest of the work to move the bolt back?

Anyone tried both profiles with all other specs held constant? Seems that a Bull is a very accurate profile. I've heard that a fat first 10"-12" usually is a big part of accuracy. HBAR has that covered. But I'm curious on the differences in end result accuracy?

I had a similar thread but if I only test one can I say I've experienced the basic idea of a CZ-75? Assuming metal guns in all cases... I can't afford to try them all. For that matter, if I can get a SAR for $250 and can't get a CZ for less than $450, will that do the trick?

I'm aware of the originals of course. Seems like they have a good following. Are they far superior to the clones? I've seen the real thing on sale at Wideners for $225 at times. Which clones are good ones? Plastic ok or only metal frames? Here's what I know of: EAA, Canik, and SAR Any of...

I usually seat Hornady 55gr SP right near the cannelure for a 2.2" overall length cartridge. Tonight I tested a new barrel and noticed that this load won't chamber without bullet setback. I crimped a dummy round extra tight and jammed it hand fed into the chamber just to see where the rifling...

I will be loading for a 243 shooter. I know very little about this calliber other than it seems like 95 grain range seems to be the typical hunting load (what I'll be loading for). Curious what shoots well from a Savage? Looking for a good accurate bullet to start with.

I saw a few years ago you could get a Stevens 200 for under $200 on sale at Academy and Dicks (maybe a few others)... now I can't find one used at a Pawn shop for under $400! What in the world happened to pricing these days. It's only been a few years. Anyways, an Axis can be had under $300...

I'm curious: 1. How to find an area abundant with hogs. 2. How to get permission to hunt them. I've hunted my entire life (bow and gun) but never for hogs. I'd like to get into them in the future. I don't mind travelling at some point. I hunt mostly midwest states currently (deer, turkey...

I recommended a 223 as a deer rifle for younger kids and took some flak for it. If you look at the recoil charts 223 is extremely low. A .22 hornet might have less but .223 recoil is barely there. Not much more felt recoil than a .22LR. "Knockdown" Power is the only thing in question. I've done...

http://www.6mmbr.com/borebrushing.html Some of these guys don't clean much, others clean every 5 rounds plus foulers. I've personally noticed on a 10/22 that if I never clean it, it usually is more predictably in the 10 ring. After cleaning, it takes about 20 shots to start hitting well...

I'm curious how these shoot. I know RRA uses Wilson Arms (Not Wilson Combat) barrels as do many other manufacturers. Are they a good product? Wilson Arms' site lists JSE as their distributor.

WOA works with all three of these barrel MFG's Blanks. Looking for the most accurate barrels for bench use. Don't mind heavy.

20” 5.56/.223 HBAR Barrel .936 Diameter 20” HBAR Barrel, (heavy barrel) 4150 chrome moly steel with M4 barrel extension. Chambered in 5.56/ .223, with gas hole drilled and parkerized, Rifle length gas system, .936 gas block diameter, 11 degree target crown, 1-9 twist...

Curious if this affects accuracy on a heavy barrel build?
