    Lighter bullets in 308

    130 grain Barnes, TSX, Reloder-7, Light load, works perfect. I use it because of detached retina

    Bass pro shop has bought out sportmans warehouse !

    I have never liked BP. Before Cabelas was bought out, I carried a Cabelas credit card with pride. When BP bought out Cabelas I cancelled the card and cut it up with a pair of scissors. I hate to hear this...SW was the best, my local one was Roanoke , VA...a great store. BUY LOCAL from LOCAL GUN...

    Thoughts on rifle weight and hunting

    I am 69, pretty good health, retired , and I get to hunt a lot most of the time. I have found as I age, I like my rifles (and everything else for that matter) lighter . My President, Donald John Trump, just bought me a brand new Tikka t3x superlite in 7MM-08. I was going with the Browning...

    Limitations of the 243 on antelope

    This last October 2019 me and some friends went on a Wyoming antelope hunt, it was great. I shot a good buck at about 170 yards and he dropped like you pulled the rug out from under him.

    What bullet should I try in my 30-06

    Every gun is different, but I have found that bullet seating depth has more to do with accuracy than anything else I have tried. Experiment with different depths

    300 wsm or 6.5 prc

    In my opinion, no contest, WSM all the way...bullet selection is great, you can load it down or you can load it full bore. If you are recoil sensitive, use a lighter bullet and load it down. Going after Elk? Get close to max and go...the 300WSM, in my experience is also very accurate.
