Hornady 62 gr or 68 gr BTHP w/ cannelure. I have been very happy with the 62 gr version on both paper and game out of 16" AR's. I'm not sure how the 62 gr would perform with impact velocity over 3400 fps, but I would expect 10"-12" of penetration. Plus both are inexpensive, $30-$40 per 250 from...

Thanks. I've never installed a new rail or tube to an AR so I was just going off of what I'd seen people say in their reviews of different rails. I found the one I want anyway and it looks supper simple to attach.

I've been looking for a 4"-4.5" quad rail and have had a hard time finding good descriptions on whether or not some of them need smithing. I know free float tubes usually do but several of the quad rails I've seen are been described as free float rails. And the attachment to the upper receiver...

My longest kill was 191 yards on a crow. The 20 gr hollow points seem to hold together a little better than the 17s but not too much. The 20 gr FMJs work the best on anything you'd want to eat in my experience. But I can't find them anywhere except online.

I've lost 3 coyotes with my 17 from 60-140 yards (all chest shots through) and I'm gonna say that bobcats are at least as tough so I'd stay away from it. Unless you shoot the 20 gr FMJ's, which actually act more like a big game bullet. The yotes I've seen shot with the 22 mag died on the spot.

Remington 700 BDL .7mm Rem Mag

They work. As long as you keep good batteries in them, they'll run. And we've always gotten more and better pictures with them than any of the others

It would crack cases and blow little shards of brass out the ejection port and into your face occasionally. But the real problem was inside the receiver. When I saw that remington had recalled them I took apart the receiver and the bolt had a hole in the underside of it. It wasnt huge but it was...

I would agree with the 597's but after the trouble they've had with the .17 hmr's I wouldn't trust them. And I know there is a different between the .22 mag and .17 but I had a 597 in .17 ( and I loved it) but I saw the damage it had in 200-300 rounds. Especially if he plans to put ALOT of...

The farm i hunt is a little south of Bethany and we have had no luck calling coyotes. We've used rabbit, bird, and rodent distress calls and even coyote vocals but never had anything come in. And we have more than enough coyotes plus some cats but again never called any of them in either. I...

Rem 700 BDL custom deluxe .7mm Rem Mag

Mine- 191 yds crow CZ 452 .17 HMR Leupold VX-II 3-9x40

I had a 597 in 17 hmr for a few years ,until the recall, and i have nothing but good things to say about it other than the obvious problems w/ not being able tolerate hmr pressures. It shot right around 1 in groups at 100 yrds and i rarely had feeding problems and when i did they were with...

300 ammo is far less expensive than 7 STW ammo and has more variety, atleast where i am
