    HiPower vs CZ75

    Considering that my G23 or Hellcat weighs less loaded I'll carry those.

    HiPower vs CZ75

    I had both and sold both. They are both fine pistols, just heavy for EDC. I had a Cylinder and Slide trigger installed on the High Power. It was probably one of the fastest pistols I could shoot with.

    SWAT rifle scope

    Hey Terry I haven't got to get behind the NXS 2.5-10 so how is the eyebox on it. Is it easy to get behind? As a sidenote I have SWFA's and they are just okay. Maybe Leupold VXII glass quality. They are tough and not Chinese scopes, but I wouldn't recommend them for an agency. Besides they aren't...

    Prayers lifted for you brother. For the guidance, strength, peace and recovery from a trying time. I've worked in a different area of public service and it can be very trying indeed.

    First Timer Help! LR Hunting 308 Handloads

    I'd probably be looking at a 208gr ELDM or 215 Berger Hybrid. If you can get them to shoot. But unless you can practice alot in western canyon conditions I'd stalk close.

    First Timer Help! LR Hunting 308 Handloads

    I've shot the 168gr SMK over 1k yards. About 1200 yards seems to be where mine destabilize ymmv. As for hunting I haven't used them but know people that have. They just clear the tips and keep impacts around 1900 fps or greater.

    First Timer Help! LR Hunting 308 Handloads

    I second the motion to load up the 168gr SMK's. And it that doesn't shoot with Varget then try H4985, TAC, IMR4064 or whatever other proven powder that you can get. I leave the carbon inside the necks. Brushing inside the necks is fine but don't go over board. A couple of passes with a brush is...

    HOWA 1500 Barreled Action

    It might help the OP and others for the owners of the 6.5 CM 16.5" barrel to post their loads or ballistics of their rifle. As for 308 Win 16.5" barrel owners post would help too. But you could also glean from Hodgdon's pistol 308 win loads. They you something like a 15" barrel for their data.

    HOWA 1500 Barreled Action

    Yup I had the 15% off also. But I wanted a 20" and cerakote was the only option. It's still a great buy.

    HOWA 1500 Barreled Action

    I picked up a Howa Superlite from Brownells in 7-08 20" barrel. But a shorty would be better with a can when shots will be 400 yards or less. I got one of the blem Stocky Stocks for it too. KRG Bravos weight around 3 lbs. My Stocky's Carbon fiber blem is 1lb 5 oz. I have a Bravo on my 260 AI...

    Big game all-rounder

    My first big game was taken with a 45-70 in Alaska. But a 30-06 has been my all goto for over twenty five years. Last year I bumped up to a 7mm RM to include range out to 700 yards for elk. But a recent shoulder injury has me buying a Howa Superlite in 7-08 for my new all around rifle. I think...

    7mm Rem Mag vs. 30-06 recoil

    BTW my late buddy killed a lot of elk here in Eastern Oregon. He had a myriad of rifles, including the appropriate magnums to take elk. Being a big guy and not recoil sensitive he could of used any of them. But more often than not he'd reach for a lightweight 308 Win with 165gr Partitions. He...

    7mm Rem Mag vs. 30-06 recoil

    I have both, but in completely different rifles and stock designs. My 7mm Rem mag is a Remington ADL 26" 1-8" twist in a KRG Bravo stock. The 30-06 is a Win M70 FWT 22" in a McMillan stock. Shooting 180 gr weight bullets the 7mm RM (10lbs) at 2800 fps still feel like more recoil than my 30-06...

    looking for new hunting rifle for large western game

    My brother hunted with Winchester Model 70's of various cartridge for pig up through elk. And he was happy with his rifles. but to standardize he switched all to Tikka T3's. They have wooden stock versions of Tikka's (Hunter). I didn't see a 300 wsm cartridge in hte line up but they had ones in...

    Remington 9 1/2 LR Primer Trouble for 22-250

    I've seated them with the RCBS handheld primer seater. However on some brass it was so tight that I primer pocket uniformed the brass and that helped. Edit: I forgot I posted to this thread before. Add forgetfulness to grumpiness lol.

    Hunting Rifle: 7mm Rem Mag or 7mm SAUM?

    I bought a 7mm RM as my long range elk rifle last year. Mainly due to good brass availability. The belt is of no consequence to me as I'll bump the shoulder 0.002" when sizing brass. I loaded the last of my RL22 for fire forming and got just over quarter moa with 180 ELDMs at 2820 fps. Slow but...
