Thanks guys for your imput, i just was not sure that the bullet would hold up to a high velocity. Alot of hollowpoints dont hold up to high velocitys it seems like Sent from my LG-H631 using Tapatalk

I was thinking the 300s would be better, but many deer have been taken with a 44mag loaded 240s so i wasnt concerned about wright but with it shedding javkrt or fragmenting. Good to hear though! Hope i get a deer this year. Not only will it be my first(indiana deer caliber restrictions suck) but...

Hey all, Deer firearm season here in indiana will be here shortly and i bought be a raging bull in 454 for it. Ive been shooting nothing but hornady factory loads which is also the hottest factory loads you can get for the 454. I was curious if anybody has taken game with the 240 grain 454...

I used BLO however i didnt cut it nor did i wait a day to apply a second coat.. Or the 7th.. I put 7 on it within a few hours. Oops Sent from my LG-H631 using Tapatalk

Do you raise the grain before applying oil? Ive tried linseed oil and im not a huge fan of it honestly. My second stock i done was walnut and the original finish was about gone so i went ahead and stripped it and put some linseed oil on it and to this day (about 3 years ago) its still sticky...

What about grain fillers? I have a newer 870 express that has an absolutly beautiful woodgrain but with all mass produced rifles and shotguns nowdays its fot a dull finish. I wanna bring everything out. Doe anybody k ow what the newer(last 10 year) 870 express shotguns have for wood? I was told...

Like these, maybe not as shiny

Hello to all the people who refinish gunstocks and other wood items. Im fairly new to refinishing stocks ive only done 2 and neither really came out as planned. Im wondering how to make the wood look as good as possible, im having issues with contrast between grains(if thats how its put) Im...

I recently purchased a 597 and noticed mine doesn't care, problem is I use it for hunting now. So in order to maintain my accueacy and poi I hardly ever clean in. If I clean it, it ends up taking a while for it group again. The mag on the other hand... No matter what I do to it it will hang up...

New barrel in the future, differnt stock that's all, since it's a 243 im thinking possible 308 in the future. Shouldn't be hard

Okay I bought the rifle because I wanted a 243 and I liked the nikon scope. But my question is, are all the savage (10,11,16 ect) recievers the same? I heard they're the same as a model 10 just with a better bolt and spotter barrel. If this is the case that should mean anything from a model 10...

May have to try clp.

Yea it's the spray bottle, I try to spray on a cloth and wipe it down though. I'm beginning to not like rem oil and am thinking about some form of dry lube. But this post is for many people not just me so that's why I suggested all stories and stuff.

It takes forever for the Rem oil to dry, so if I clean it and lube it the night before I shoot it's still wet when I do shoot the next morning. Once dry it is slick though

I know each gun is different and each kind of action is different but let's say a semi auto. My marlin 60 gets realllyyyyyy dirty with any wet lube and I noticed even my bolt actions get rather dirty with rem oil with teflon in it. I want as many people opinions, stories ,ect on this. What do...
