Another low-recoil option is to load H4350. 47.0 gr with a 150 or 46.0 gr with a 168 is good for 2300-2400 fps. With military surplus brass you can go down 1 gr and the cases will still be filled to the point that detination will never be a concern.

I am glad youall are also having fine results with the A-Max. Very quick to instant kills seem to be the norm for everyone using the A-Max, regardless of caliber. I just talked with a friend of my brother-in-law who used the A-Max in his .22-243 wildcat on a few deer and one hog thus far and...

I began using the moly 178 in my .300WSM last season after seeing the effect of the 7mm 162 gr on whitetails. I have not seen one deer take a single step after impact. Next deer season will be the first I have began with the bullet I used the previous season since my rifle was built 5 seasons...

If you cannot get 140s to shoot for you, try the 162 A-Max. I know a couple of people who are using the bullet in tactical matches and sit a few towers with a shooter during a population reduction of whitetails at a local wheat and soybean farm. Never saw a deer take a single step after...

Do a search on the DoD development of the A191 ctg, basically a .300WM firing a SMK190 about 3000 fps. There is good info on RL22 and several other powders. At the conclusion of the tests RL22 was the powder selected. I use 68.5 gr RL22 with my molyed SMK190 load in my .300WSM and was...

Oops! Intended to state that condition of stock and barrel are not important. Also should have added that magazine box and follower with spring and the trigger guard with floor plate are also not needed, as rifle will be single shot 6mm on Choate US&T stock.

Need one action with bolt face for .22-250, .243, .308, etc. Condition of stock and barrel not unimportant. [email protected]

Your customer base within the sport hunting comunity will most probably be turkey hunters as they are required to hunt on the ground in most states. Also a ghillie will not greatly hinder the use of a shotgun. Perhaps there is a website predominately for turkey hunters?

If your rifle has more than a very light recoil you will ge some bounce when shooting off the hood of your car and POI will shift. A strip of neoprene under the legs of the bipod will help. For stability get as much of your body in contact with the automobile as possible. On the bubble level...

Could you all explain what barrel bedding is and when is it used or preferred over free floating? Thanks, everyone.

Thanks everyone. I ordered the stock with the bedding block, will see if comb heigth needs raising and if so Scopeeze pad from the Kickeeze recoil pad people. Still have not make up my mind on changing rings and bases. I saw the TPS rings on an AR10 give adequate service.

Sakofan, I seem to be having trouble sending and recving. Try again in a few days. REC USMC [email protected] If your question is were we asked to leave by the new government: Yes. But within 9 days of arriving attacks on US citizens practically ceased so we were effective, and IMO it...

I am moly coating my bullets so my loads might be useless to you, also I have not shot these enough to verify my primer choice. I still need to shoot over the chrony more while switching back and forth between WLR and WLRM. I will shoot some more +.1 and -.1 gr as well. 175 SMK moled, 64.8...

It is just my opinion but with a barrel 16 to 22" I would choose the .308 without even thinking about it much.
