    .300 Win Mags - Where are they?

    The 300 is my all around favorite. From taking deer to ringing steel. Once you get one it becomes a disease for which there is no cure. I have an remmy 700 with a 24" barrel which is my hunting rifle that flat out shoots. After a friend rang the bell at 700, he bought a barreled action of of...

    Tavor scalping has begun

    I agree with ya Shoottotrill, I put a savage in my remmy, colt and Italian heavy safe. Pulled it out just yesterday to find a huge scratch in it and the sling damaged. Them others went prison yard on it. Couldn't image what they would do to that petite carbine.

    Vihtavori powder, what y'all's recipe???? Share em'!

    Hey y'all, I have been reading through this section and it is awesome. See a lot of loads developed for .308, 30-06 and .300 winny using alliant, imr and hodgdon but not a lot of vihtavori. My experience with is is fantastic. Burns complete, clean and cooler than most of the powders in its...

    Dillon XL 650

    Dillon 650xl is a reliable, accurate and fast progressive press. I use it for all my handgun calipers and my 5.56 rounds with little to no variation in charge weight. Best part is my friend bought it, i just drink his beer and use his machine! The old school and OCD in me will not reload my long...

    1:10 vs 1:12 for 30-06 Shooting 168, 175 SMK's

    It is awesome to see people building the 30-06, it is one of my favorite rounds and will build another next year. Go 1-11 twist. I have to agree, best of both worlds.

    24" or 26" 300 win mag out to a mile?

    Just spent the last year researching this same question. I had Kreiger build me a 5r 26" m40 contour .300 win mag for 1 mile shooting. With a 210 smk and good ol vihtavori powder the bullet will still be supersonic. My hunting rifle is a remmy 700 .300 win mag with a 24" barrel and my ballistic...

    Sr-25 or lmt ?

    After handling both weapon systems I would have to include a vote for the lmt. Remarkably well built, reliable and accurate rifle for the money. If I had to have a knights priced rifle the gap-10 would get my deposit. Any choice you make will be a great decision and will give years of fun and...

    bought a 700 today

    For the money and performance I like the McMillan or hs precision. They are usually around here for an affordable price. Chassis are just plain awesome though. Took a while for an old country boy shooter to get the feel for them but just like a diesel pick up minor tweaking has great results...

    Advanced Marksmanship crazy shots!!!! lets hear about them...

    A no bs story, a friend and me went elk hunting and he wanted to check the zero of his rifle. I ranged out 100, set out a real sight in target. I shot my rifle and zero was good. He lines up to fire his extremely old and worn out model 700 in 30.06 shooting 220 gr slugs. He fires and the bullet...
