Actually I don't!
Of the following I wouldn't say any are sufficient
223
243
8mm Mauser
7.62x54R (only because it comes out of a POS Nagant)
7.62.39
11x58 Beumont.
That's about what I'm thinking at this point too. Except probably a 4.5 to 14 :)
Thanks for all the feedback.
The more I think about this the more I think I should get a rifle I want to shoot a bunch off the bench and out in the prairie that just so happens will take down an Elk.
If a guy buys a medium size cartridge that packs a lot of punch and drops a animal like a...
Hello,
I recently found out I was drawn for a once-in-a-lifetime Elk tag up here in North Dakota. Don't think I have a rifle for the task. I have a perfectly good Sako Forrester in 243 that I've shot over 30 deer with from Nice Mule bucks to little WT does. Don't think that is going to...
Ha, is there any load Varget can't do? I should of known that would be an option.
I'm always running by the book with this stuff so I'm a bit out of my comfort zone swapping out bullets on a load. As long as it's only 5 grains lighter I'm assuming it's not a huge difference, just faster...
A friend of mine swears by Barnes Tipped Triple-Shock bullets for deer so I thought I would give them a shot. Load data is a little sparse for the 80 grain tipped version for 243.
H4350 and RL 17 are the only loads listed by Barnes and this bullet is too new for the manuals I have.
I've...
If you just want to do the 264, find a friend who has a bench and offer them beer to use it (my friends do this)
The thing with reloading is once you finally get all the stuff you need to reload one caliber you are just a $20 die set away from being able to reload another caliber.
The...
I've shot at least 25 deer with my Sako 243. Ranging from big Mule Bucks to the lowly whitetail doe. Almost every one of those deer dropped dead or walked 10 feet and fell over hard. Usually neck or heart shots. These are North Dakota badlands deer too. Not little southern bambies...
Thank you..
My original response was going to be:
"Whatever the heck he wants, now get out of his business"
but a chance to live free is a good response as well.
Funny, a friend had the EXACT SAME PROBLEM at the range today. His is a DPMS with a 5.56 barrel. The rounds shoot just fine through my Rock River 16 inch barrel. It looks like a slight shoulder bulge when reloading.
We'll back off on the crimp and make sure it's fully sized, hope that...
Well to update everyone, I offered to help a friend load up some 223 today so we HAD to find some powder that would work. I took my load book over to the local big box store, plopped it on the counter and said "lets go down this list until we find one you DO have" He came back with H4198. Ya...
It actually started up here, branched out after. The guy I talked to at Scheels the other day said everything they had coming in on the next shipment was already all spoken for. We've also got a Sportsman's Warehouse and a Gander Mountain, along with a few local stores.
How many grains with a...
I've called every store within 100 miles of me, nobody has any!
Can't find a single place online that has any in stock. Does anyone have any leads at all? That and CCI 41 primers.
What really sucks is I have a few thousand primers, brass and bullets but no powder!

Remind me give you a severe beating next time you come back for not telling me about this thread.
On a side note, Mr. Bulgaria said you wanted him to buy your .50. Sick of it already?

Geez, only in ND. You live just a few houses down from Rep. Grande? I live 3...
Yup, I looked it up shortly after she was born and found the same thing. Kind of a bummer.
I really don't know how much of a risk there is but it's just not worth it. Sounds like lead contamination at a young age retards brain development and can cause serious behavioral problems. They'll...
