Right. So as I said above: This is my father in laws rifle that I already sighted in with a 150gr factory load that I didn’t realize is no longer in production. I eventually found a replacement that is 200gr. I don’t have control on the availability of ammo and when I can get it in my hands...

Definitely no trophy animals here. Compared to the pics I see on this site our deer don’t get too large. If presented with a choice I pick the largest which is probably the oldest of the group and usually a doe and take that. I figure if I’m going to spend my time butchering I want it to be...

Wow I wasn’t expecting so many replies. Thanks everyone. So the boring details: I’ve only been hunting for 6 years or so and each year I’ve been shooting a different cartridge from my father in laws selection of rifles. This year it’s 35 Remington. It’s actually sighted in using 150gr...

I’m considering sighting in a rifle tomorrow (Tuesday) for opening day buck season this coming Monday. I’m worried that I might pressure the deer prematurely and they’ll all be spooked. I have been seeing a lot more traffic this year and don’t want to spoil anything. I do have other rifles...

To jump onto this: does anyone have a link to a safety data sheet or something this lists any ingredients of Wipe-Out? I found the MSDS for other Sharp Shoot R products but no luck on this one.

I’ve kind of been playing with the same idea as you, down to the caliber and action. I’ve been looking at Montana Rifle Co. rifles lately. They use actions based on the Winchester/ Mauser type actions. I believe they also piller and glass bed their actions as well. They also have their all...

Good lord. That shows complete disrespect for the deer. And I’m sure it means something more but I’m not a psychiatrist...

I’m looking forward to putting something together for my wife’s pc carbine. I’m going to have to pull the red dot off and install a scope for load development. Due to my astigmatism, the dot is more of a splash.

Ah, duly noted. One of the many takeaways from all of this is every time I enter this thread I leave with more options.

Thanks for the detailed info. The photos aren’t loading for my browser but I can understand what you’re saying easily enough through your description. When I think of bearing surface and neck tension I always think of them being critical for rifle cartridges. Makes sense handgun competitors...

Wow, thank you bds for the offer on the sample pack, I really appreciate it. However I think I will just go with your suggestion on the 115 gr FP for the carbine—maybe 1,000 and then 2-3,000 of the RN. Any idea what makes it better for matches? Maybe it punches a cleaner hole in paper. I will...

I think I will eventually try out powder coated, probably my next round of bullet purchasing. One of the companies (maybe Missouri) sells them in different diameters. I guess if I want to optimize my handloads I’d want to slug my barrels. There’s thebluebullets.com where all they sell is...

Thanks for the replies everyone. Still looks like I can be happy with just about anything. Although I did think of a possible snag with coated: reading reviews of various coated projectiles report issues with the large capacity case gauges like the EGW 50 and maybe the Hundo. For whatever reason...

Outside of cost, any other practical differences between the three? I know plated has velocity limitations but for 9mm I load to around 1,050 fps—fairly mild and well within recommended specs. The reason I ask is I have always bought plated from Xtreme bullets but they haven’t had 124RN in...
