Didn’t think W231 would be a good choice under 180 gr XTP. I use 800X or Longshot under those for my 10MM’s.

I grabbed an Axis ii last year in 6.5 CM, put a Vortex Crossfire II on it and developed a solid 140 gr Hornady SST over IMR4350 load for deer hunting. Only upgrade I did was get rid of the noisy plastic stock after carrying thru the woods with a sling on it. Picked up a Boyd’s stock and it...

I have about 6,000 rounds of H-335 and Hornady 55 gr FMJ loaded up for my AR and each of the kids. It’s just a great shooting combination and one that performs really well.

.50 Beowulf and 45-70.

So far, my Savage 6.5 CM shoots best with IMR 4350 and 140 gr Hornady SST. I’ve tried Varget and Superformance and keep going back to IMR 4350. That works for me because I use that powder in .243, 30-06 and it’s shooting good in , 300 WSM as well.

I have a Burris Fulfield II on my Savage 30-06 and it’s been a great scope over the years.

Have one that came on a used .300 WSM and after a bit I swapped it out with a Vortex Viper scope. So my question is, what’s that Nikon worth in resale value? Debating on if I should sell or just throw it on the shelf for a project later on.

I guess I’ll see how it holds up in the long run. Other than the WASR, this is the only other AK in my collection at the moment. Most of my 7.62x39 reloading is for an AR in that caliber. I have close to 1K brass cases for it.

I’m lazy and just buy Hornady 1 shot for 90% of my cases requiring lubrication. The other 10% (straight walled cases like 45-70, .450 Bushmaster and .50 Beowulf) get imperial wax.

Definite possibility

I also have several AR’s, even one in. 7.62x39 but want to have diversity in my collection. I also reload 7.62x39 for the one AR and run commie surplus out of my other AK and SKS’s.

BE-86 shows promise in 10MM, especially with 200 gr loads. I have a near max charge of BE-86 and 200 gr Nosler JHP that performs well in my G40 and S&W M&P 2.0. Still need to chronograph them to get accurate fps. Longshot also works in both 9MM and 10MM And it’s readily available.

Been shpping around for another AK and can’t believe how much they’ve gone up since my last one, which is a WASR I paid $300 for a while ago. Seen several on the market online and on Armslist and decided to get this Hellcat. New, unfired with a brace for $800. Only modification I’ve made is...

Exactly what I experienced with the 165 BTHP. That’s why I moved to the BTSP and it performs great with far less damage.

My daughters Savage 110 .243 with 100 gr Hornady Interlocks and 41 Gr of IMR4350 is a great deer slayer!
