    The Ultimate Combat Round

    I'll admit I've only read about 1/3 of this thread (it's so long!) so forgive me if this has allready been mentioned. GunTech and Nolo were discussing the pressures of telescoping bullets on page 9 and GunTech mentioned that 90% of powder is burned up before a bullet leaved the cartrige. Why...

    Looking for an Ideal Hog/Deer Rifle

    I personally use a .223 for deer and hogs. It's never failed to drop a deer. I've taken 250lbs hogs with it although I had one run off. It was my fault, I immeadiatley got up and walked at him instead of waiting and couldnt get my rifle up in time when he got up. I would recomend a .243, you...

    Triple tactical failure on a hog hunt.

    Wow, that could have turned out bad. I'm glad you and your dog are OK. I had a bad experience with hogs a few years ago. It was bow season for white tails and I was heading down to my stand one morning well before light. I had my PSE Spyder compound bow and a 3in pocket knife. I wasn't paying...

    Weapon of choice for deer hunting in a field?

    I have used .223 to drop my biggest buck ever at just over 300yd, heart and lung shot. I'll use it to 400 if the shot presents itself, past that, I'll use my .243

    .223 bolt action recommendations

    I have a Remington 700 VS in .223, it's my main rifle for white tails, hogs, cayotes, and whatever else I kill. It's accurate as hell, fairly light, virtually no recoil, reliable, the works.

    Deer harvest

    .243-------------3 .222-------------1 Compound Bow---2 .223------------25 .243 is probobly the best and most versatile hunting cartrige, I've used it on cayotes and deer, and wouldn't mind using it on elk. I just like my .223 rifle better

    Hunting coyote w/ 90gr .270 win

    I was hog hunting with my .270 a few months ago and I shot a cayote at 200yd with 130gr soft points. The bullet didn't have enough time to expand and left a small entry and exit wound. Maybe just a freak shot, but that's what happened.

    overkill and ethical hunting?

    I define "Overkill" as squirrel hunting with an RPG. .30-06 is fine, dead is dead. I'd feel infinatley more comforatable with my .223, but mainly because I know the rifle in and out. I know what it can do and am still looking for something it can't. I've dropped a buck in his tracks with my .223...

    .17's

    The .22mag case has greater powder capacity than the LR case so is the HMR higher velocity and flatter shooting?

    Empty Chamber

    " " I unloaded it, racked it repeatedly, counted all 5 shells laying on the bed (the only 5 12ga shells in the house), cocked it back, stuck my finger in the chamber twice, then recounted the shells before I dry fired it. Negligent discharges come from one thing, negligence. Negligence...

    Empty Chamber

    It is a small one story house. You can hear the son's airsoft shotgun being racked from accross the house and the 870 is a lot louder. She has fired the gun a few times, but not near as many as I would like her to have. She can't depend on the police because they are over 15mins away. It is a...

    Which AR-15 round is most suitable for deer?

    "Shadow Shock, you run into problems in states like here in Washington, where deer/elk/big game requires .24 cal or bigger by law." That's why I live in Texas;)

    Empty Chamber

    The local sherrif has been out many times and told her "If you see him on you're property, shoot him. If he's still alive, shoot him again." I think the most important part of cocking it is to wake up and allert anyone who didn't hear the break in. Tonight for instance, she has her two...

    Empty Chamber

    One of my friend's family is being stalked. The mom has a Ruger .357, but borrowed a Remingtin 870 set up for HD with a shortened barrel and extended magazine tube. I was showing her how to operate the gun today as she hasn't had an opportunity to fire it. As we were discussing the stalker, she...

    Which AR-15 round is most suitable for deer?

    I use .223 almost exclusivley in bolt's not AR's. But I'm workin on getting an AR. Remington 55gr PSP's have never failed me. My dad shot one that we never found, but between me, him, my brother, and all the friends we let use our 700 while hunting with us, we've taken over 100 Hill Country...

    AR-15 or M14

    I've used both and know a good bit about both. For just about any situation, hunting, HD, SHTF, Target shooting, I'll take an AR. Preferably 20in barrel, fixed stock, removeable carrying handle. If I was shooting 800-1000yds which I probobly never will, I'd take the M14/M1A, but that's it.

    your "workhorse" rifle

    Remmington 700 VS in .223. Not abused but definatley shows use. Between me, my brother, my dad and friends who have borrowed it, it has taken over 100 Hill Country whitetails in the past six years. Plus numerous hogs, a beaver, many armadillos, and other animals. Finally had to replace the cheap...
