    Handgun bullet choice for whitetail

    The XTPs work really well. I prefer the 240 or 300 grainers. The 300 gr is a bit heavy but I get 1350 out of the 300 gr in my SRH when it is seated to the rear crimping groove and loaded over 25.0 IMR4227. It will shoot a cylinderful under 2" at 100 yards. The 200s kill pretty well, but...

    YOUR perfect hunting rifle

    Custom actioned bolt gun in .280 with a 24" #4 barrel in a McMillan Remington Classic stock. I built one in 1988 and still shoot it. In 1993, I did the same rifle in .300 Jarrett. I just like the style.

    NRA Highpower- barrels and triggers

    Oh and to answer your first question: Trigger - RRA NM is usable if properly tuned by someone like WOA; Geisselle is the gold standard. Barrel - The WOA Wilson is a great barrel for really good price. They are properly chambered and they come with the important little details like an...

    NRA Highpower- barrels and triggers

    Service rifle (i.e. M16A2 or A4 clone with carry handle sights) is THE set up for highpower rifle shooting. If you look at the number of people who shoot service rifle vs match rifle, it may be as many as 10:1 in some areas. There are more matches available and there is cooler bling to win. If...

    I shot 2nd relay on Viale around the middle of the line (68). The day started good with an X, 10, 10, X, 10 for my first 5 shots standing. My last 5 were all 9s. I was a 1/4 heavy on my 300 wind and dropped 4 out the left by a bullet caliber (so close, yet so far). I put the first shot at 600 in...

    what powders for high power?

    Seeking Coyotes is a member opf National Match and received pretty much the same advice there. Basically, pick RL15 or Varget, go load some ammo and shoot.

    Kids first deer hunt and recoil....

    My daughter was a pretty small child (even at 22 she is only 5' 2" and 110 lbs). I bought her a model 7 in .260 to hunt deer when she was 10. We practiced with 85 gr HPs over some SR4759 for about 2200 fps and no recoil. For deer hunting, I loaded a 120 Nosler Ballistic Tip over 32.0 H4895. It...

    Best Deer Cartridge.

    You need to add the .260, 6.5x55, .280 and of course the .30-06. For the recoil conscious, I would go with one of the moderate 6.5s. They don't kick very much and they work really well. By the way, although ammo may be a touch hard to find, the 6.5 Creedmoor does come with hunting bullets and...

    My First Post Here - Last Week's Nightvision Hog Hunt - The Hog Pile!

    If you truly uinderstood the problems that hogs cause, you might not feel that way. To put it another way - feral hogs are like rats. Are you disgusted that millions of rats are killed every year and left to rot? Perhaps it would be better if those killing hogs that won't be used for human...

    Nimrod, The bill has passed. It is awaiting the governor's signature to become law which I have nodoubt will occur. I used a guy named Derek Howard from Central, Louisiana to testify before the House Natural Resources Committee. Everyone was very impressed with his knowledge and I have only...

    My First Post Here - Last Week's Nightvision Hog Hunt - The Hog Pile!

    There are approximately 18 states that allow hunting with suppressors. Texas is the only one that limits it to non-game animals. Louisiana has a bill sitting on the governor's desk awaiting signature which will also allow hunting "outlaw quadrupeds" with a suppressor. Another bill awaiting...

    bullets for Service Rifle Competitions

    Based upon some information coming out of the PA junior team's coaches who have been doing their loading, I started experimenting with the 82s loaded to mag length. Accuracy has been as good as with 77s and they do hold the wind better. I just loaded them over my standard 77 gr powder charge...
