Fun ideas and some I have not considered. One idea I have not seen here is a 30-30 lever action. While a short 22lr bolt action rilfe might be my first choice for a long pack trip in the wilderness. It can kill a deer, though only at very short range with a very good shot. It does well...

RPD or licensed built copy.

While I’m not yet the owner of desirable hunting property, I plan to be some day and in the mean time I hunt, with permission, on private land as well as public. I always respect property rights. I don’t shoot grouse heading over the fence line and I don’t shoot deer in the next field. But I...

A realy nice sub-thirty with low recoil is the oft forgotten 250 Savage. I've been successfully hunting with it's offspring the 6.5-250. 140 grain bullets at 2600 fps with low recoil. Yes, I know you want off the shelf, just providing info for something resembling a 250 or 260. The 7mm-08 is...

I don't have the ballistic data for a Two-Fitty but I have data for the 6.5-250 and it comes close to what you want using a 142 MK at 2650 fps. Thus I suspect that a 250 Savage with a 120 grain bullet should do what you want. Then again as other discussions have shown, the 260 Remington...

Having read Zak's articles regarding various 6.5mm's I'd like to know if Hornady's 6.5 Creedmoor brass is better than Remington's 260 brass. I'm planning on rebarreling a Remington to one of the two. dwl

6.5-250 Been follow this discussion with some interest especially remarks about 6.5mm/100+ gr bullets at 2800 to 3000 fps. The idea has great, and practical merit. While I don't have every answer to case dimensions I have experience shooting 6.5mm, 107gr SMK, at 2800 fps and 142 SMK at 2650...

What the 6.5 Creedmoor looks like is a very nice highpower or silhouette cartridge; sufficient power, minimum recoil. It's remarkably close dimensionally to a 6.5X250, aka 260 Bobcat, though Hornady is claiming 10 grains more powder and 200 fps more velocity. Question is, what powder is...
