    First PA Black Bear!!!

    After 15 years of hunting bears in PA I finally got a shot at one during bear season! It’s not a big bear but it’s a trophy to me. This is also the first year that I decided to pack in a long range rig to hunt across the valley to the next slope. After about 3 hours of watching, a bear meandered...

    I live near pittsburgh as well and can find it at several shops, I don't use it in much so I don't buy much of it.

    Berger 200.20x

    I've had a lot of success with them so far I'm getting 2650 fps average out of my 308 with a 26" krieger. It averages about 1/2 MOA out to 500, so far that's all the further I've been able to shoot it. I hope to make a trip to Ridgway and shoot out to 1000 with it in the next week or so.

    Berger 200.20x

    Has anyone been shooting the Berger 200.20x? I've been playing with them for about a month and really like them so far, although I've not shot them over 500 yds yet. I'm getting 2650 fps avg out of my 26" 308 using Lapua brass and br-2 primers. Accuracy has been .5-.75 moa depending on me. I...

    Anyone playing with the 200.20x in 308?

    I've been messing around with the Berger 200.20x hybrid in my 26" 308 and getting pretty good results so far. I'm using varget and seating them .010" off the lands, today's range session resulted in single digit sd's at an average of 2646 fps, I expect my sad and es to increase a little as my...

    Extending Ruger M77 LA Mag Box

    I've seen it done but it's been a long time ago when I saw it done. I saw a smith do it on two rifles that where 7mm Rem mag reamed to 7mm stw. The box had to be lengthened to accomodate the longer round. I know that he welded two mag boxes together to make one longer one, but I don't know what...

    on the 308 bandwagon with 215 advise

    Mikebob, I am interested in hearing what others may have to say on the 215s in the 308 as well. I am having mine rebarreled and I intend to shoot the heavy bullets.
