180 gr XTPs for carry. Montana gold for plinking.

If you are seriously considering shooting the cartridges, I think you may want to take up a different hobby.

Thanks for the update. And thank you for the work and attention you have put towards this issue.

Here's a page on loading for accuracy even with changing conditions. He calls it optimal charge weight: http://optimalchargeweight.embarqspace.com/

If seating the primer correctly doesn't fix the problem, then make sure that the cases have not been trimmed too short. If you are below min case length, the firing pin will expend it's energy moving the cartridge forward in the chamber. Don't ask how I know this.

A shotgun makes small game hunting easier. I have hunted grouse and rabbits with a 22, and sometimes they hold still so you can shoot at them. I believe there is a fall turkey hunt down your way, but WDFW won't let you hunt them with anything but a shotgun or bow.

I have a Bushnell that I bought about 6 months ago. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00335ED5W/ref=oss_product It works well, and the animals don't seem to notice the IR illumination at night. I use the video mode more than taking pictures. I set the cam up for a week and four bull elk...

I own many of the rifles others have suggested, but hunt with a Marlin XLS. A 6.5 pound rifle compared to 9 pounds makes a lot of difference after several miles. For $250 and very accurate, who could ask for more?

To hunt legally in WA, you would need .224 caliber or higher for deer, elk, or bear. You can hunt cougar and coyote with a .223, and I suppose grouse too. As far as I have found in the regs, there is no magazine limit for rifles in WA. Shotguns yes, rifles no. In an emergency situation, any...

I bought a box several years ago, when I got a 10/22. Worst ammo ever, and from what I've heard it's gotten worse since then. Federal AE is about the same cost, but shoots so much better.

Handloaded 69 gr Sierra Matchkings do 0.7 MOA in 1:9 twist 20 inch barrel. Haven't tried anything heavier yet.

I've shot it in three different rifles and have not been impressed. About as good as Wolf, about 3-4 MOA.

I bought an XL7 in 30-06 recently because I was looking for a lighter weight rifle for hunting. Last year I packed around an eleven pound Savage and got tired of it quick. I have only put one box of Core-lokt through it, and I like it a lot. Here is the last four from that box at 100 yards...

My daughter told me about silly putty having that property when she was 10. So, of course, I had to take it to the next level. I placed it on the concrete floor of our shop and hit it with a sledge hammer. It shattered and flew everywhere, including my wife's open mouth. Never found most of...

I have a 20" stainless bull barrel upper from them. Fast delivery, nice finish, and shoot 0.7 MOA with SMKs. Guess I was lucky?

Box of Truth corked the barrel while at the range, so it can't be very hard to do. http://www.theboxotruth.com/docs/edu63.htm

Explain something to me. The primers in corrosive ammo leave potassium chloride in your barrel. This is corrosive because it is hydroscopic (attracts water from the air which causes rust). So water is used to dissolve and remove the salt. But water in your barrel is the problem that you are...

If the bullet was tungsten, the rifling wouldn't have left marks on it. Yes?

Do you crimp the case? I had a similar problem when I overcrimped a few rounds. They more looked like a .223 Ackley ( http://accurateshooter.net/Products/223ackleyx580a.jpg ) and I didn't notice until after the AR wouldn't go into battery.
