    Maximizing the 300 Wby Mag on a Budget

    I absolutely love my Vanguard in 300 Wby. The attached groups were shot using 168 TTSXs and Reloder 19. These were loaded to 3.560”. I have read much more about temperature sensitive issues than I have experienced them with this powder. This summer on a 90 degree day the 83.5 grain charge went...

    Sako A7 Coyote - 22-250

    I would like to trade my Sako A7 Coyote 22-250 for another lightweight bolt action rifle in 6.5 Creed, 270 win, etc. I'm not too picky on caliber as long as it's intermediate. My first choices would be a 6.5 creed with a threaded barrel. Kimber, Tikka, Savage Ultralight, Bergara, Christensen...

    Ar Pistol or SBR

    Godspeed my friend! I’m at 10 months on my last suppressor purchase.

    My Benelli Sbe 2 sucks

    Nope, that A5 was even worse than the SBE after 1 season of hunting. It malfunctioned countless times. I know the inertia operated guns work for a lot of people, but I will never own another.

    My Benelli Sbe 2 sucks

    I have to admit, when I made this post I was an angry 15 year old who just spent a whole summers worth of working on this shotgun. If this happened again today I would send it in for warranty.

    My Benelli Sbe 2 sucks

    Hahaha that Benelli is long gone. The A5 I said I loved 5 years ago also was plagued with issues as well after I began using it more. Browning ended up sending me the Maxus Wicked Wing as a replacement after I sent the A5 back to the factory twice. I went through a really rough patch trying to...

    My Benelli Sbe 2 sucks

    I made this post a long time ago, but I have since been shooting the Browning Maxus and it has yet to have a single hiccup. I absolutely love the Maxus and will never look into another Benelli, or perhaps another inertia operated shotgun again.

    YOUR COLDEST HUNT?

    When I was in high-school and just got my drivers license my friend and I had the bright idea to duck hunt the river on a -3 day with 15MPH wind. The river was starting to freeze up and there were refrigerator sized ice chunks floating down stream. We ended up shooting just shy of our limits...

    When to settle on a load?

    Thanks for all the advice! I shot another group today with 83.5 and got almost as good results and velocity went up 30 FPS.

    When to settle on a load?

    That is the other problem. I’m down to 160 large magnum primers left. I’m thinking I better just stay where I’m at continue tweaking when I can get a brick of primers. Thank you for the advice!

    When to settle on a load?

    Hello everyone, I have been working up a load for my antelope hunt this fall. I just started reloading for rifles about 6 months ago and have really been enjoying it, but I’m not sure when to say the accuracy/velocity is acceptable. I am shooting a 24” 300 Wby Vangaurd S2 in a Bell and Carlson...

    SOLD/EXPIRED Vortex Crossfire 6-24x50

    Up for sale is a Vortex Crossfire 6-24x50 with a duplex reticle. I had it mounted on a 22-250, but recently upgraded the scope on that rifle so this is just sitting on the shelf. Functions great and holds zero. It has a few scuffs from being bumped against other rifles in the safe which I have...

    Suppressor choice: most bang for your buck :)

    Rugged Razor. Tough as nails QD suppressor that costs right at $600. I have used it on my 12.5” 5.56, 20” 5.56, 6.5CM bolt gun, and just recently my 300 Wby. One of the few cans in this price point that is rated up to 300 RUM. It is a little heavy at 15oz, but for the durability of the can I...

    How Big will he get

    I got a picture of this guy on my most recent trail cam check. I’m in Indiana so they still have quite a bit of growing to do. Looking forward to seeing what this one does. It’s looking like he’s going to crab claw into his G4’s and G5’s
