    Elk and Bench Gun - Caliber Decision

    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 :)

    Elk and Bench Gun - Caliber Decision

    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...

    Elk and Bench Gun - Caliber Decision

    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...

    Load for 80 grain Barnes TTSX in 243

    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...

    Load for 80 grain Barnes TTSX in 243

    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...

    What internet company is selling primers??

    Someone is always selling some on gunbroker.com. Picked up 5000 CCI 41's from there the other day.

    I want to start hand loading!!

    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...

    Who has actually used .243 Win for deer

    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...

    "Everyone should have a -"

    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.

    223 reload help

    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...

    Where can I get some H335 or Varget?

    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...

    Where can I get some H335 or Varget?

    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...

    Where can I get some H335 or Varget?

    Nope and nope.. thanks for the ideas though. Varget is my second choice. I've only used H335 with my AR and been happy.

    Where can I get some H335 or Varget?

    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!

    Get kids started young on reloading??

    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...
