    Good Bear Bullet for 7mm that will work on elk.

    Good evening, So I’m headed bear hunting in May and need some suggestions. I shot a bear at 50yds a couple years ago with Nosler 168 GR ALBRs. I shot him twice in the chest and neither bullet expanded and left pin holes when recovered which thankfully was only a few yards away. I really like...

    Hey THR, I’m getting back into reloading after a couple years, and need to buy a set of rifle dies for both the above calibers. I only previously reloaded pistol calibers. I just bought a 550C. Any suggestions on the dies?

    Apartment reloading

    Good evening all, I had to get rid of all my reloading gear about a year ago due to a move and career change. I sucked it up and payed for factory ammo for a while but I’m starting to play with some stuff i can’t afford to buy ammo for. So i just bought a Dillon 550c and decided to dive back...

    Scope for .458 win

    Good evening, I’m looking for some opinions/advice on a scope for a .458 i just bought. It’s an interarms mauser in .458 win. What scope would you buy with $1000, and with $1500. I like good glass, and have mostly stuck with Swarovski binoculars and my favorite scope is a z5, but the only 1x...

    Interarms mark x .458 win

    Good afternoon. A LGS has one of the above for $999. I’m in the market for a .375/.458 for under 1.5k. I’m not familiar with interarms. Is this a reputable manufacturer? Looks like a Mauser action. Thanks, Ben

    6.5-284 in Savage short?

    Good evening, I have a bit of a conundrum. I have a Savage in 300 wsm that I’m looking to rebarrel. I bought a 7mm rem mag last year and haven’t looked back, and there isn’t anything I can do with a 300 wsm that the 7mm can’t handle. That being said I put a considerable amount of effort into...

    Bear Elk books

    Hey All, I just came back from a DIY spring black bear hunt. I only saw 5 bears, of which 3 were cubs, one was a sow with the cubs on park land, and the other a shooter male. I took the male, but after doing some more reading am starting to think I was lucky to do that. Anyone know of any good...

    Scope mounting talley rings/Swarovski scope

    Good afternoon, I just purchased what is to a certain degree my dream hunting rifle. This is (for me) an expensive rig. I have a Cooper Excalibur model 52 in 7mm Rem mag and a Swarovski z5 3.5-18x44. I just ordered low talley rings and mounts. I have a torque driver, and levels. I have never...

    .280 ai

    I have the opportunity to buy a .280 AI at a very good price. I have looked around and brass and ammo are non existent. I'm intrigued by the cartidfe but don't want something I can't shoot. Internet lore seems to say that shooting .280 Rem out of it will be A. Perfectly fine and B. Form the...

    Best hunting scope from $1000-$2000

    I'm buying a higher end rifle than I have before. It's a 7mm rem mag. It is going to take 6 months to have it built so I've got time to figure out what type of glass to get. What's your opinion. Good/bad experiences? Thanks, Ben

    Western hunting Caliber.

    I'm confident this has been addressed, probably over and over but I will ask anyway. I need to buy one rifle. This rifle needs to handle two tasks. Elk and pronghorn. I reload, probably not to a high skill level, but I get the job done and can work a load up. What caliber should I go with. My...

    Savage bear hunter .300 win mag

    Looking to buy an elk gun. I'm pretty dead set on the .300 win mag, and savage as well. Does anyone have the above gun? Thoughts? Opinions? And does the break screw off. Want to be able to shoot it with a suppressor someday. Thanks for your time, Ben

    Moving from Ohio to Michigan. Need help with CCW laws

    Ok, so I just moved to Michigan from Ohio. I was going through MI laws and it says that I can't get a CCW until I've been a resident for 6 months. I have an Ohio CCW and there is a caveat that the board can waive the 6 month wait time since I currently do have a CCW in good standing. Does...

    Glock 27 vs 23 questions.

    Ok. I'm looking to buy a glock. I've never owned one. I don't find the aesthetically pleasing. However I do believe in reliability. So here is the dilemma. I want the concelability of the 27 but want the handling if the 23. Do you have as much control over the 27 as the 23 with the grip...

    Kahr CW40 heartburn

    Ok, so I was in the lgs the other day convincing myself I needed a pistol in .40. I almost bought a glock 27 but picked up the kahr. I love the slim frame, it feels better than the glock to me and I desperately want to love this gun. Now you have to bear one thing in mind. I haven't shot it...

    Month of Firsts

    I've had a pretty good month as far as knives go in my book. I've tried 3 new things that I've had no experience with what so ever. 1. an opinel 2. a Mora and 3. a wicked edge. I'm getting better with the wicked edge, my first couple of knives weren't so wicked, but I'm getting there. I am...

    First Benchmade

    Ok, so I have bought benchmades before as gifts, relying on their reputation. I've always wanted one, but have sort of a complex about buying a expensive knife for myself. I ordered a griptilian in olive with the sheepsfoot plain blade and all the metal pieces are black. Got a four week wait but...
