    Here are my ingredients....need a 300 wm elk load recommendation.

    I have a Browning A bolt white gold medallion in .300 win mag (26"bbl). I've come up with a great deer/antelope load pushing a 150 grain accubond at ~3250 behind winchester brass and 83.8 H1000 (absolutely devastating between 125-434 yards...verified). I'm looking for a dual purpose...

    Any advice/comments regarding Remington R25 in .308

    Thinking about buying a new Remington R25 in .308. I found one locally for a decent price. I've heard the triggers are junk. I intend to use it for hunting. Any comments/suggestions regarding this platform would be appreciated. Also, curious as to cost of trigger job and/or upgrade....

    7mm rem mag 140 grain nosler partition too light for cow elk?

    Thoughts on using 140 grain nosler partitions out of a 7mm rem mag on cow elk? Too light for shots under 300 yards (absolute max)? I'm taking a buddy out west on a whitetail hunt/ cow elk. Looking for a dual purpose round. If the partitions shoot well, will they suffice for both? Roughly...

    Looking for accurate .243 antelope load

    I realize each gun has it preferences, bullet weight, etc. etc. However, I've also found some "generally" work well with many guns. I've spent years working up loads in 7mm rem mag and 300 win mag. Unlike many, spending time working up loads is not my favorite past time. Tweaking them is ok...

    How to remove loctite from barrel?!

    I removed by rail and red dot from my Ruger Mark III and I obviously used to much loctite when I put it on. I used the removable loctite, however, I can't seem to get it off the barrel where it ran onto and dried when I installed the rail/sight. I've tried fingernail remover and it got some...

    :banghead: I hope someone can help me out. I have a Ruger Mark III Hunter- it has the windage/elevation adjustable rear sight. I just bought the gun last spring and have been using it with a red dot sight. I since removed the red dot sight and attempted to zero it with the factory sights...

    Help!! Rifle seems to suddenly group poorly.

    I am shooting a Browning .300 win mag. I am using handloads that were excellent last year (.75 groups). I upgraded to a Bushnell Elite 7500 4.5-30X scope. The groups were good a few sessions ago, however they have opened up, and it seems with all handloads. They are now 2-4" groups. I've...

    Conflicting Data for 168 gr. Amax Loads (.300 win mag)

    I have two questions: I'm loading 168 grain Hornady Amax bullets in .300 win mag. According to old data I have the max load for IMR 4831 is 72 grains, IMR 7828 is 76.8. However, using the online Hodgdon/IMR website, it lists a max load of 75.5 for the IMR4831 and 80 for IMR7828- this is for...

    2 Questions about muzzle brakes

    1. How much should it cost to have one installed (normal price range)? 2. How do they impact accuracy, aside from potentially improving it due to less flinching?

    After cleaning my brass (300 mag, 7 mag, 243) walnut media gets stuck in the flash hole. I'm currently using a dental instrument and cleaning out each one. Any tricks of the trade to make it less laborious, i.e. magic panaceas???

    Difficult to close bolt-- what gives?

    I was at the range this morning, shooting my .300 win mag. I'm shooting 150 grain accubonds over near max load of H1000. I loaded 100 rounds, all are 1x fired brass, however, about 50 rounds are Winchester brass, and 50 are Remington Nickel brass. All brass was f/l resized. When I attempted...

    Most accurate hunting rifle under $800?

    Curious to see what others would buy if they had 800 bucks to buy a new deer rifle based SOLELY on accuracy (not asthetics, where made, resale value, brand loyalty, etc.). Also what caliber for an all around rifle used from eastern hardwoods to western mountains for mule deer...

    Do you trim rifle cartridges every time?

    I've been handloading a short while(5 years or so), self taught via instructions, and books. I load for .243, 7mm Rem Mag, .300 Win Mag, and very rarely 10mm auto. Every time I reload rifle brass I trim it to the "trim to" length. Having said that, am I wasting time? Should I wait until it...

    .300 win mag 150 gr. accubond load?

    Allright, So I unloaded (pulled bullets) of nearly all of 100 loads of 150 grain accubonds over 75g IMR 4831 due to terrible accuracy (see my previous post regarding reusing unloaded bullets/powder). :o:banghead: Has anyone found good loads for 150 grain accubonds in .300 win mag? I've used...

    Are unloaded bullets,powder, brass usable?

    Ok, first off I know I screwed up-- I have a browning .300 mag that seems to shoot just about anything and shoot it well. So, I made a critical mistake to "save time" and trips to the range. I loaded up 100 rounds of 150 grain accubonds (not max load). Well, I went to the range and the...

    Temperature/Altitude effect on point of impact

    I'm new to the site, but here is my question: I've got several loads I've chronyd at sea level and at about 60 degrees. I've sighted in and am just about ready to go. Here is my issue-- how much change of velocity can I expect when hunting at about 4000-5000 ft and 20-40 degrees? I've shot...
