    New Sierra 169gr SMK (.30)

    I ordered them on Saturday but didn't want to post anything until they actually processed my order. I wasnt sure it went through, for whatever reason I have issues with their website. I have been debating between the 169smks and the SwissP 168 that Raven Rock has for awhile. Still might order...

    Front stuffers and pumpkin slinger picture thread…

    There is a Winchester highwall at the local gun shop in 38-55 serial number is from 1900 and its a New Haven barrel. Also considering a C Sharps highwall. I have a bunch of muzzleloaders and don't mind cleaning just part of it. I definitely need to budget more time when I get black powder out.

    Short action hunting caliber ?

    I'm a big fan of 300wsm in general. Been a fanboy for several years and have killed several elk with it. I have also killed elk with a 6.8spc, not at the same distance mind you but still. Factory ammo wise I'd look at the 6.5 PRC. I have killed a number of things at decent distance including...

    Front stuffers and pumpkin slinger picture thread…

    There are a couple C Sharps on GunBroker that I have been watching. While I really do like the 1874 but the 1885 Highwall is such a great looking rifle I'd like to add one to my collection. 45-70 is pretty practical in general Id still like to play with the smaller calibers also. I'm...

    Front stuffers and pumpkin slinger picture thread…

    While it's not old it's a lot of fun and is becoming a new thing to learn. My dad gave me his Pedersoli 1874 45-70 earlier this year. We haven't shot black powder in it ever just smokeless. After playing with this it has me looking at a 1900s built Winchester highwall in 38-55 that's here in...

    Hunting & Fishing 2023 Grip and Grins thread

    Smokeless muzzleloader shot a good sized cow elk this morning at 340(ish) yards. I got a range than she moved up hill while I was dialing. One shot and she fell over before the echo was done. Same 300gr fury bullet at 2650fps as the deer and antelope earlier in the year. Tagged out for the year.

    Hunting & Fishing 2023 Grip and Grins thread

    It's a PVA smokeless muzzleloader prefit on a Bighorn Origin with their shockwave brake. Thing is a hammer and I'm not even standing on it. 308 ballistics, crazy energy, and it recoils like my 6creed

    Hunting & Fishing 2023 Grip and Grins thread

    67 gr of imr4198 with a 300gr Fury bullet. That's as high as I have tested so far. First group at 400 yards was 2" so I went with it for the season. Trajectory is pretty great for hunting though 1" high at 100 is 1" low at 200, 3.5moa at 300, 7moa at 400

    Hunting & Fishing 2023 Grip and Grins thread

    Used my smokeless muzzleloader on an antelope buck at 272 yards and a 4 point mule deer at 277 yards. 300gr @ 2650fps seems to knock them down like right now. Also filled one of my elk tags with a 50ish yard offhand head shot from my 260rem. One more elk tag might try and use my smokeless...

    Range finder to replace Kilo2000

    Lost my range finder today on an antelope hunt....killed a buck but lost the RF between the shot and getting to the animal, I looked for it for an hour but no luck. Really liked that range finder it was simple and I had the RRS arca mount on it. It was starting to have trouble hitting more...

    Rifle Scopes 10x Rifle scope capabilities

    I shot this buck at 509y with a 308 and a fixed 10x. My mountain hunting rifles mostly wear 2-7x and 3-9x my desert killing rifles usually have higher magnification ranges but I still limit myself to 550 and in for the first shot. I have a smokeless muzzleloader that is using that same stock...

    SBR large game hunting

    338 federal is a pretty nice round also. If you reload 308 brass to 338f is one pass in a full length sizer and does decent in shorter barrels. I have a 16" that does 2450fps with a 200gr. Check out some of the specialty bolt pistol builds out there for some more ideas. If your going to...

    Rifle Scopes 10x Rifle scope capabilities

    I use a couple SWFA straight 10x pretty often here in the deserts of Wyoming for antelope and mule deer hunting. Be realistic about what your capable of and you'll be fine. I limit my shots to 550 and in most of the time and 10x is plenty for that. For shooting steel I have taken my 260 and a...

    .338 Federal

    Most of my brass is just FC08 necked up. Brass is definitely not an issue. Proper headstamp if that matters to you might be but it's available once in awhile. I haven't played with it much but in a bolt action the 230gr eldx might be a very good option. It ends up being a touch long for my...

    .338 Federal

    308 to 338 is one pass in a full length die. I actually made a bunch of 338 federal brass from 280AI brass also. Chop it down, size in a full length die, trim to length, load and shoot. It's a scaled up version of making 300blk from 223. 338F has a lot of potential as a cartridge for killing...
