Thanks a lot,,gives me another option

Decided to invest in a 300 wsm, mostly because it's one of the few calibers I don't have. I've narrowed it down to the 2 models listed above and want to know if anyone could provide feedback on either of them. I need something relatively light weight, with sub moa performance. This will be a...

I have a 300 wby mag in a Remington 700. I laid it down several years ago for hunting whitetails due to the excessive damage it caused. I later learned that I was using too light of a bullet. (Hornady SST 165 gr) Occasionally I didn't even get penetration through the chest cavity on a 100 pound...

I'd sure like to get in on some of that! Not too many farmers are willing to let us hunt here in Western NC. Plus theres too many housing developments going in. Coyotes sure are rough on our fawns here,,wish more people would hunt them!

I got some software from Lee. Just a $15.00 CD and downloaded on my laptop. It will go up to as far as you want to. All you do in punch in caliber, velocity, coefficient.

Good article,,,thank you

Its not been rebarrelled, yeah I measured it. Its about 1:12.

Just ordered a box of VGs for my 243. They are 62 gr and recomend a 1:10 rate of twist. Anyone tried them in a 1:12 twist? Any suggestions on getting the bullets loaded so that they stabilize in a 1:12? Its a youth Model Seven with only an 18" barrel.

Thanks. I did see that but they don't list 4320,,,just looking for more options.

I just ordered some 62 gr Barnes Varmint Grenades for my .243. None of my reloading books list recomendations for the 62 gr bullet. Anybody recommend a work up? Maybe in 4320?

Thanks for the advice friends!

Thanks for the advice friends!

I recently read an article about the 25-06. Anyone had experience with the 25-06 on whitetails? Long shots? If so, what bullet is best?

I'm planning an elk hunt in about 2 or 3 years. I really like my 30-06 and shoots good out to 300 yds. I've never shot further than that. I have a 300 wby mag. but its heavy and the muzzle brake makes it extremely loud. Can anybody share their max effective range for the 06? Whats the best "elk...

From personal experience I can say that my .243 is the most reliable deer rifle I've ever owned. I got it when I was a young boy, killed many whitetail with it. I still use today as a back up gun (only because its a youth model). A well placed clear shot (no brush) and deer wont go far, I...
