    Scout Rifle: Ruger, Savage or Weatherby?

    "The 7600 isn't a bad choice IF you can find one. They carry like a dream and all the ones I had shot like a varmint rifle." Yessir, the 760 .308 cabine (18.5'' barrel) has worked perfectly for my dad but, I can't find many .308 7600/760 right now. I love the way it carries but, I'm not sure...

    Scout Rifle: Ruger, Savage or Weatherby?

    Beautiful gun and I'd love to own one in that configuration but, I really want to stick to .308 because I can get it for cheap and it will always be easier to find than many other calibers. I will eventually, time and money permitting, add that exact gun you showed to my arsenal.

    Scout Rifle: Ruger, Savage or Weatherby?

    I've recently become enamored with the Scout Rifle concept. I like the idea of a gun that can be taken hunting for an all-purpose 'bug-out' tool. Having once made the mistake of tracking humans thru mountains with a Remington 870 Police Magnum, body armor and a Camelback with extra gear in it...

    Light 223 load for 11.5" Stag AR

    Working on Blue Dot Loads I've loaded some Blue Dot loads ranging from 10-14 grain charges using Remington 55 gr. FMJ bullets. I'm going to do the same thing with some 40 grain Hornady Z-max bullets I picked-up from Cabela's today. In the next week I'll go out to the desert and test the loads...

    Light 223 load for 11.5" Stag AR

    Sea Fire was thorough but... As you mentioned he was testing with a bolt gun... I don't want to run into something serious involving stuck bullets or some sort of gas system specific catastrophe. Eventually, I'd like to get a good recipe for the quietest load that will safely fire as a single...

    Light 223 load for 11.5" Stag AR

    10 grains of BlueDot, 10-4 With 55 gr. FMJ's? That's what I have now. I'll go get some 40-50 gr Hornady A-Max/Z-Max on payday. I saw those were recommended by Sea Fire on a related thread that stopped in 2010. #2830452 - 02/20/09 09:55 PM Re: .223 ?? [Re: WyoJoe] Heres some info on...

    Light 223 load for 11.5" Stag AR

    Ok folks, I've seen this subject touched but, never answered exactly. Can anyone give me info on light loads for my new Stag pistol? I'm looking specifically to quiet the gun down a little, reduce recoil and save powder. If anyone can give me an idea about recipes that will best accomplish...

    Anyone load down 223 loads with Blue Dot or Unique????

    I am very interested in loading lighter .223 loads for my Stag 11.5'' upper. The purpose would be to make the load quieter and save powder. It seems that full strength loads would burn powder outside the barrel creating excessive noise and wasting powder. Loading subsonic would be cool but, I...

    Remington Core Lokt in 308 Win...

    I bought my dad a Remington 760 pump in .308. The only problem he had was when he shot a deer with Wolf ball ammo because he forgot to trade it out for the Remington Corelokt he'd bought. Poor critter ran off... Since he began feeding the rifle 'mushrooms' it hasn't had a deer get away.

    .357 Sig Reloading Question

    Lee Dies? I just started reloading and I'm wondering if .357 might not have been the best starter round. I enjoy the time I take to meticulously inspect, clean, deprime, clean, size, prime and charge the rounds but... I can't seem to get seating/crimping down. Every single round I press...
