    460xvr factory ammo

    I have been trying to find time to develop a load for my 460xvr 8-3/8 to use this season on whitetail and hopefully a black bear. I have all the components I just dont have the time to do the job as of now. Can someone recommend a good factory load for the job? Options might be good as...

    D-2 for blades

    Im a machinist for many years and I have ground my share of cutting tools and a knife or 2. I use D-2 for a variety of things like shear blades with great success. I am considering a 6" multi=purpose hunting knife. I would like to go with 3/32 D-2 for the blank. Ill machine the shape and taper...

    Fore grip stock repair

    I have a Browning Gold with a crack starting on the foregrip. I want to address it ASAP before it gets worse. I am thinking a very thin piece of fiberglass cloth epoxied with 30 minute epoxy. Maybe thin the epoxy a little with acetone. I hate to buy and pay for shipping on a accraglas kit. I...

    Any opinion on Core 15, AR's

    I picked up a stripped lower from them and it looks great. Decided to check out the rest of their stuff. Seems priced middle of the line. Anyone have one? Any pros or cons to the manufacturer?

    Beautiful Mauser Luger, should I buy?

    Went in my LGS to buy some ammo and found this Luger. Im rather ******. I have wanted a nice quality Luger for some time. This fits the bill, I just didnt want to spend the cash now. Before the Germans part me and my hard earned american dollars I have a few concerns. 1. Asking $2800 2. It...

    AR barrel twist

    I finally took the plunge. Waiting for my stripped lower to come in. looking at uppers and trying to decide what to get. Im thinking 16" floated heavy barrel. What twist? Gas or not? What length? I plan to use for recreational 3-gun and to improve my distance. 300yd working out to 1000...

    Blaze orange break-up pattern

    Firearm season requires that you wear blaze everyplace that I am aware of. I also agree with the practice. Some people will shoot at movement and I dont want to be the one to find out which ones do. So anyway I bought my son a blaze orange breakup pattern parka. Im having problems finding one...

    Working up loads??

    Just curious how most of you go about it. I dont have a chrony so lets leave that out. Do you start with a particular bullet you want to shoot and then try different powders and charges until you feel you have satisfactory accuracy? Are you cleaning the gun in between the testing? Run through...

    Remington 7600 accuracy

    I have a mid 80's 7600 30-06 with a Redfield 3-9x40 that I am confident in. The first shot (lucky thats the one that matters) is usually right on POA at 100yds. Second very close. But by the 4th its walking. If I load another mag and keep shooting it will walk out 6-8". I know this is not a...

    IMR Whitehots

    Not sure if this reloading or muzzleloading. I am currently using Triple 7 Hodgdon 50gr pellets. Good results and much easier than using BP. I am considering trying the white hots as they are supposed to give a little better performance and burn cleaner. Not an issue with the hunt as 1 shot is...

    Trashed my weaver 4x today

    I was doing a little practice and tuning with my 460xvr today. Have a Weaver 4x sitting on top. This setup lets me shoot 4"ish groups at 100yds and I expect its capable of far better. Until the recoil ate my scope. After I had trouble printing on a 4' square. I guess this one is going back to...

    Hearing protection while hunting

    I have never used any type of protection for hunting. Carbine 30-06 in the deer stand is loud but its only a few shots a year. Also the barrel and blast tend to be mostly outside of the limbs. Planning on shooting my 460xvr this year. Ported 8-1/2" barrel means that all that blast is going to...
