Thanks. Interesting that Savage would make an out-of-spec barreled rifle, but smart given the greater bullet choice available in .308. Maybe they should call it the "30 Short Russo-American".

How would using an undersized bullet, designed for the 30-30, improve 7.62x39 performance against the cartridge for which it was designed exactly? Leverevolution powder is available for sale, so 30-30 ammunition can be loaded that allows for a spitzer bullet (160gr FTX) of correct size to be...

The House has passed upwards of three times as many bills as have even had committee hearings in the Senate this year. There are something like fewer than 28 legislative days left in the Senate in 2017. The Graham-Cassidy Obamacare repeal eats up September, then tax reform. It is extremely...

The 223 round is not suitable for deer sized game. That people are able to kill deer with it doesn't change that. We can fish with dynamite. That doesn't make it right. 7.62x39 to 150 yards, in a pinch, is the better choice from an ethics perspective. 30 cal is better than 22 cal and a 150...

I have been very pleasantly surprised by Rock Island. Very good value for money. Accurate and well built, but several of the suggestions above offer more refined features apparently within budget.

Thanks. I'll work up the IMR load and worry about something else, like nuclear war with Rocket Man...

Overthinking this or not? I like 4350 in a number of applications but have always used H4350 for actual hunting loads in the belief that it was the less temp sensitive of the two but rarely have I seen marked differences between the two powders in load development apart from a few fps. Worked...

I had quite a lucky miss 2016 elk season. Was set up in a tight little draw between timber on opposing ridge tops. Heard him coming down the hillside opposite me. Got a good look at him in the trees and was all set up as he came out, hopped over a small creek and slowed to a walk. 185 yards...

First post, so trying not to be particularly controversial but there are a number of issues raised that need to be addressed. The first is the Mini 30 as a deer rifle. In my experience, it is not a very accurate rifle and 3 MOA is at the good end of the spectrum. But given the cartridge, that...
