how are they doing this with a 308? Seems it would be the best long range 308 load going? Heavier bullet going just as fast a 175's http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=878909

I just got an lrpv. I cant seem to get the bolt to go all the way in though. It goes almost all the way in and the little black knob on the top of the bolt hits the receiver. I can push and there is some spring tension there, but I don't want to force it. It's about a half inch from getting...

This has probably been asked before but I searched and couldn't find. My brother left his rifle at my place when he was out here hunting. I want to just mail his own un back to him. Can I just send it through the USPS to him?

I don't handload yet, but was wondering if anyone makes a factory load in .308 shooting the 208 grain A-max?

There is some info around about twist rates, but to save myself some time and money, anyone who can chime in with actual experience I would appreciate it. So I just bought a savage LRPV 223 with a 9 twist. Whether it covers both scenarios of shooting heavier bullets as well as varmint work or...

I have a remington 5r milspec 308, which I love except for the fact that it is stainless. I actually use it for hunting as well as target shooting. Any reason I can't paint the barrel with some quality heat resistant paint? FOr what I do it is hard to justify taking it to a 'smith and paying...

So I got a new C. Sharps 45-70. All excited about going to the range to see how well it would shoot. CHambered first round, cocked hammer....click! Out in another one, cocked hammer, click! Long story short, the gun won't fire. Seems like the primer strike is lkinda light....what gives...

I see alot of winchesters are AE or "angle eject" ....is this something I want? I am going to buy a lever gun, not sure if I should look for this feature or avoid it. I don't plan to scope it, I assume that could be an AE advantage?

anyone know what the rifle pictured is?

I do not own a handgun anymore. Had a beretta 92 and a taurus 44 some years back. Mostly been shooting rifles since I sold them. I want a wheelgun, and have a few bucks saved up. I tend to buy things once for functional quality and have no regrets. That said, I think I want a Colt Python...

Getting ready to scope a remmy 5r. Will be used for 99% paper/gongs out to 800 yards or so. The leupold mark 2 line is looking pretty good, I like the 1/2 moa clicks. I am torn about a reticle, all of my other guns have regular duplexes, but I'm thinking of going with a fine duplex, since I'm...

sold some extra ammo for a gun I no longer own on gunbroker. Didn't think much about it but when the guy sent me his address to ship, he is from california. I've noticed alot of firearms for sale ads say they would no longer ship to CA after July08 because of some new rules. Can I ship ammo...

I realize state's vary, but that aside what do I need to do to mail ammo to someone? Is the post office going to allow it and put a sticker on it?

This slipped under my radar until I saw it today...I saw that Ruger has come out with the 300 RCM. Wow a short mag, what a concept. Is this where things are going, each manufacturer duplicating cartridges? Is there really a market for another short mag in 30 cal? Is there really a market for...

I bought a box of ultramax .308 110gr ammo the other day. I liked the idea of having the option of a lighter, faster round from my .308 for deer hunting, but figured a bullet that light would shoot like crap, especially with the 11.25" twist my .308 has. Well, it turns out it shoots great and...

I'm talking target shooting/maybe varmint...not hunting big game. Lots of threads around talking about the .223 at 1000, can definitely be done but you need a very heavy bullet, special twist, and some people complain of overpressure issues. Many advise to go to a wildcat like a 6.5/284...
