I have for sale a set of three choke tubes for a 16 ga. POW-R-PAC choke. Including carrying case and wrench. $35.00 plus shipping.

Your .223 should plop them into a dime size group with sufficient experimenting. I think all the things a guy can do to his cases just add to the fun. Knowing the bullet will go where the crosshairs are is soooo sweet.

Okay then. Have fun.

Good handgun work. Who is the better shot? (God is listening)

I think I read that the military chambers for 7.62 NATO were long in the neck to save the life of a G.I. that had let a bit of sand get in there, but .308 cases were actually identical to the 7.62. Imagine the problems Winchester would have created for sporting rifle owners if they hadn't...

I think it is a violation of good safety practises to decap live primers. Soak them in solvent or oil and bury them in the garden.

Handy feature to consider in making your cartridge choice is the fact that later when you start handloading if you have trouble finding 7mm Rem Express cases you can form them from 30-06 cases with a standard die. Note that you will need to turn the necks down to get rid of the excess neck...

Actually, the reasons bullets drift is more complicated than just sectional density. If read several good articles on the subject and am as baffled by the physics as most guys.

My usual deer bullet is the 100 gr. Rem. Core Lokt but I used 70 gr. Nosler BTs in my 6mm Rem. to dispatch some deer that had overpopulated this area. They worked like a dream. I wonder if the guy who popped a whitetail as it stood broadside at 100 yds. with a 95 gr. Nosler BT knows for sure...

Reload by all means, especially if you like to shoot a lot or would like to be able to shoot a lot more. Costs about the same to get started as a rebarrel job probably and you will have the rifle plus the reloading equipment.

No one I know of. In .243 Speer sells 105 gr hunting bullets and Sierra 107 gr. match bullet. Never seen factory ammo heavier than 100 gr.

No No 30-06 for what you mentioned. The .243 is perfect. Tremendous factory ammo choices out there and I will not overgun you and make you form bad habits. I use a 6mm Rem. for these critters and it works great, recoil is nothing, and I can find any type of bullet I want (I handload) for it.

There are more bullet choices in .308, 7mm, 6mm, and .223 than there are in .277.

No the .270 doesn't kick almost like a 30-06. I would say the .270 kick is about 70% as hard as the 30-06. Don't forget the 7mm Rem. Express. All the rifles you mentioned are fine ones.

When the oooooos and aaaaaaahhhs fade the accuracy of a given cartridge and the number and type of rifles that have been chambered for it will keep it going if it is going to. Jim Carmichael loved this chambering in the Ruger #1 he tested. He was going to order one for himself. My son is...

If you already have a nice shooting .222 why wouldn't you move on up to a 7mm-08 or 7mm Rem. Express for deer? I think most would agree cartridges in .22 cal. just don't quite feel right for deer.

You can overspin stubby bullets. Most Rem. 700s in .223 are exceedingly accurate so I been lead to believe. Anyone know what twist Rem. uses in 700s?

Don't try to reload without reading a good instruction such as found in the Speer Reloading Manuals.

You wouldn't be happy with your groups using a rimfire scope. There are a lot of good (not great) affordable 4x scopes on the market that will be more reliable and parrallax free at 100 yds. I have a Weaver K4 Classic on my muzzleloader that cost about $125.00 and it more than fills the bill.

My 12 ga. slug gun and my muzzleloader kick the heck out of me at the bench but I never feel a thing when I am shooting at a buck.
