    Downloading the .270 Winchester; which powder?

    Several years ago I loaded 36.1 grns of IMR 4895 with 100gr Hornady Sp's so my 12 yr old daughter could hunt with my TC Pro hunter 270. She took several deer with that load. But I wouldn't shoot farther than 200 Yds with that load.

    Ruger American Predator, very pleased!

    I was looking for a budget Coyote rig for hunting and fun shooting, something I could haul around and not worry about scratching up a safe Queen. I settled on the RAP 22-250. I picked one up new for $399. I added a SWFA SS 3X15 scope. I did my initial sight in with some cheap Remmington 45gr...

    Is 6.5 Creedmoor Worth It?

    I want or thank everyone for your response's, this thread has been a huge help and even changed my direction. After reading all the coments and taking a "realistic" look at how I shoot and what I'm looking for, this is what I came to: 1) I want something different 2) I will rarely shoot over 500...

    Is 6.5 Creedmoor Worth It?

    The 22-250 would be for yotes. I also have an AR platform for yotes, but I have a thing for bolt guns. Another plus for 22-250, even though I don't own a rifle in that caliber, I already have brass and dies. I already have a dedicated carry deer rifle ( TC Pro Hunter .270). The hunting...

    Is 6.5 Creedmoor Worth It?

    Thanks for all the responses! And to clarify, yes I'm buying a rifle for no other real reason than just to try something different. I'm still not even 100% on the 308/6.5, I'm also thinking about a 22-250. I love the hunt... I have a little side business keeping bees and selling honey to fund...

    Is 6.5 Creedmoor Worth It?

    Help me Decide.... I shoot for fun and hogs/deer/coyotes on my family's land.. I will more than likely never compete, or even shoot over 600 yds. I got into long (ish) range shooting and bought a budget rig Savage Fcp-K with a Millet LRS-1 scope in 308 and I have enjoyed this combo and have no...

    Most accurate out the box rifle, under $1000

    My $750 out of the box Savage FCP-K has hung in there with many $$$$ rifles. It's a heavy beast, but for the price, it's hard to beat.

    Deer rifle for 12 year old

    My daughter started deer hunting at 11. She uses my TC pro hunter .270. You can't get any safer than a break open single shot with an external hammer, and the way the hand grip on the stock is designed it fits her like a glove. I hand load all my ammo and I use a managed recoil load with a 100...

    Warrior Arms AR, any thoughts?

    Thanks for the Help! I'm gonna politely decline the trade. I'm in no major hurry. My primary plan is to sell the #1 and put some cash towards someone's used Bushmaster, RRA, DD Ambush Arms, etc. dedicated predator rig in the $1,200 - $1,500 range. I still haven't discounted a bolt gun in...

    Warrior Arms AR, any thoughts?

    I'm considering trading for one of these, it's got a 16" ss bull barrel 1/8 twist in .223 and he said it was a factory build before the company changed ownership (I'm not sure what that means). It has the fixed A2 stock. We haven't discussed any details of the trade yet and I have only seen pics...

    Who uses a single shot for deer

    I hunt with a TC pro hunter 270, and never had any issues with a single shot. My 12 yr old daughter has taken 2 deer with it so far using hand loaded youth loads. As far as a 243 goes, it is plenty enough for deer hunting.

    How many here have shifted to 40sw?

    I qualified for 9 yrs in the military with a .45, I still prefer the 40 over 45. I like the stoping power of the 40 and the reduced recoil.
