    Thompson Center hawken rusty barrel potential problems

    I bought a used T/C hawken off the net. After having the hardest issue of getting the thing to fire (and one gunsmith cleaning fee) finally got it to the range about 10 times and shot about 200 rounds through it. Luckily I'm part of a muzzleloader club so I've learned a lot through the folks...

    Buying a used dillon 650, with no DVD and thought maybe could send me theirs for a bit while I learn how to set it up? Benos has it $20 but I'm sure there's one collecting dust somewhere. Discrete paypal can be used.

    Hunting < 500 yards, why would a 6.5mm (264) be better than 308?

    I've been contemplating building a savage 110 30-06 into a 6.5 something: either 260 rem, 6.5 creedmor, 6.5x55 swede for hunting in Washington state. Game would include mule/white deer and elk. I already own a savage 308, which I'm happy with. I've anchored 2/2 shots on a whitetail and a cow...
