Never used 180 SST in my .308, but the 150 SST @ 3000 fps smacks texas whitetails like the hammer of God. Never used the gamekings, but heard their good.

Excellent!!! Thanks guys! I knew I could count on the knowledge here at THR.

Last year it was Model 70 Coyote in .308. This year we are in brush and wife is using Marlin 336 .30-30 and I will have my 1894 .44 mag.

Ok, I did a quick search here and on the web and I could not find a definitive answer to my question. I have read that it is not wise to shoot commercial .308 Winchester in a 7.62 rifle. But it is ok to shoot milsurp 7.62 rounds in a modern .308 Winchester rifle. Is that correct? Here’s what I...

AWWWW MAN!!!! SWEEET! Good luck, be safe. I can't wait until I retire. Only about 30 years left

My poor .30-30 is not even safe.

I always thought if you could hit a paper plate at 100 yards, your good to go. My dad has a .243 that he has put probably 5 boxes of ammo through without cleaning. Met his limit on bucks and does last year. Shots ranged from 80 to 150 yards. Deer were DRT in the kill zone. My M70 shoots .5...

I have a 44 mag with 20 inch octagon barrel. The more i shoot that thing, the more I think i should have gotten the .357. Maybe Christmas:)

1911's are awesome! The one my dad gave me. First 1911 i ever owned, and it is a colt series 70 mkIV. I will be getting another, oh yes, soon, very soon.

**** My dad gave me his Colt Series 70 MKIV I am now a convert to the 1911. They are wonderful!!!!! Can't wait for the next one. I've heard good stuff about the pt1911, but man those STI's are fine!!

I've got a Marlin Model 60 Glenfield. Really sweet shooter.

When I was younger and not really into hunting my uncle on my dad's side was a recreational hunter with other guys at his company. (At least that is what he told me) My dad told me that he had a few rifles that were really nice but they were made in japan. You know, like the watch company:what...

243's rock. I personally don't own one but my dad does and he swears by it. I've shot it quite a bit. It likes lighter rounds, like the 80 grain core lokts. Darn fine caliber. One of the best all around do it all calibers. Varmint to Deer. #1 on my "I'm gonna get me one of those one day"...

geeez. thats like painting a delorean. Yep, seen that done too.

That's cool. My wife goes to London about 3-4 times a year for work. She is my little RKBA babe across the pond while she is there. As if being 5 foot 10 inch blonde is not intimidating to them anyway. She tells me the stories about talking to them about hunting ,shooting, and camping they are...
