I bought a new Savage Model 11 bolt action Rifle in 308Win with a Nikon 3x9 scope. I sighted it in with 168 gr. remanufactured ammo with a Hornady AMax I believe. Once I got it zero'd i want to try some Barnes 150 gr. ammo I bought. Barnes was $40 a box so didn't want to waste them. I...

Ok I finally figured out my rifle won't shoot 95gr. bullets so I stepped down to an 87gr VMax and worked up some different loads. Started with 41grains of Win760 and worked up to 45grains. The 41grains shot ok but not as good as I wanted. The more grains the worst the grouping. My...

For those of you that have been using Mobil 1 or other "non-Gun" oils on your guns, what do you put it in? I like using it but really like the Spray Rem oil because of ease of use. I would prefer to use the Mobil 1 but can't find something suitable to put it in to make it handy.
