    Short Scope on a Remington 700 Long Action

    Welcome to Friday all. I've recently come into possession of a synthetic Remington 700 ADL in 30-06. It's an early J-lock rifle with the blind magazine, I think it's 17-18 years old and I know it has about 10 rounds through it. Anyway, I also have a Leupold FX-2 2.5x scope I'd like to attach...

    Picking a hunting gun

    Hey all I'm from WV where shots are almost always under 100 yards, I've been using a 30-06 with nosler ballistic tips and getting good results. My question is at this range are my bullets even expanding or using their potential or would I be better off with a 30-30 or slug shotgun?

All of the brass was fired from this rifle. I am using CCI #200 primers and Nosler 165 gn ballistic tip. I am neck sizing...

    Thinking about branching out

    As things have turned out in my life, every rifle in my collection today is a .22 (Rimfire, .223 Remington or 5.7mm Johnson). And while I can and have hunted game up to the size of deer with .223 Reminton at the 100 to 200 yard distances conditions around here impose, I'm thinking I would like...

    Long range advice.

    I'm shooting a browning BAR mark II 30-06, 155 grain Hornady BT HP with 51.0 grains of H4350, I have a 4-12 Leaupold. I zerod my rifle at 300 yards and my bottom dot is 400 yards. How much would my bullet drop at 500 yards? Am I even still in the scope?

    Remington 7400 30-06 misfeed problems

    Hello everyone! First post on here, grandfather told me about this forum so I decided to join. On to the topic at hand. My Remington 7400 rifle misfeeds constantly! When I rack round by hand it works no problem. But, when fired 1 out of 4 is a guaranteed jam. It looks like the rounds are...

    Help Me Understand FPE (And Why My Shoulder Doesn't Blow Off)

    Admittedly this is a total newbie question involving bad math. I know I am wrong about something here, I just want to be shown where I am wrong. My understanding of FPE is that it is the measurement of the energy needed to move a one lb object a distance of one foot. My 30-06 gets to right...

Today I started practicing putting in the primers which was my biggest concern with this kit, I DID NOT load any powder or bullets into the case. I had already tested the empty case and...
