    30-06 mbr

    I recently read on THR about a company that used to build an AR in 30-06 but was bought by bushmaster and never continued. I enjoy watching Sons of Guns and had a thought. Those guys build crazy things all the time. I want a full power (not garand loads- full power hunting loads) MBR in 30-06. I...

    New to the Long Range game.

    As a corpsman, my rifle experience is limited to an M4 with an ACOG on it out to about 100m. I just bought my first bolt gun in the form of a savage 110 in 30-06. I did this because I've heard about the superb accuracy of the 110 and was able to pick up a complete at the box store for an...

    Do I have this correct?

    I have a Smith K frame mod 65-5 (stainless mod 13- which was the M&P?) with perfect timing, that I just picked up 2 days ago. I have 2 boxes of 158 grain 357 HP and 1 box of 38 +p HP . The general consensus is practice with the .38s and save .357s for social situations- but NEVER use 125 grain...
