With the economy in the state that it is, I would like to see more articles on budget minded long range equipment. Take my set-up for example. 2 years ago, I started my long range project with a Rem. 700sps stainless varmint in .308 win. As finances came available, I upgraded it with a Tubb...

Yes! I love shooting my muzzleloaders almost as much as my rifles. My brother and I even host an annual sidelock/open sight muzzleloader competition. My comp. rifle is a Lyman Great Plains Hunter .50 with target sights that shoots 2" groups @ 100yds with Lee R.E.A.L. 250gr cast bullets. Just for...

For my leadslingers (30-30, .223 etc), I use Lee for cost effictiveness, but for my accuracy work, I use Redding.

The only coyote I've ever killed was last October. I got him at about 18-20yds with my Ben Pearson Stealth. He came sneaking under my stand stalking a flock of turkeys that was about 50yds out. I'm not a dog hunter, but I couldn't miss the chance to take a coyote with a bow.

381 yds, whitetail (8 point), ridge to ridge, .280 Rem./140gr VLD combo. He dropped faster than the value of a dollar.

I like buying scopes almost as much as I like buying guns. I wish my next glass could be U.S.O., but doubtfull on coal miner wages. I'm probably gonna pick up a 35mm Millett or an Alpen Apex.

Thanks for the input. Now I won't be leary to try them. I've taken bucks at 400+yds with a .280rem/140gr. VLD combo with quick-drop results. But the VLD is a hunting bullet. My Rem. 700 .308 really likes the Fed. Gold Medal 168gr bthp's (4-leaf clovers @ 200yds). Lack of time to reload is going...

Has anyone used a .308win/ 168gr. sierra bthp combo on whitetail deer at long range (400yds+)? And if so, how did it perform?

I was searching for some load recomendations for a rifle I am working on. I came across this site and joined up.

I'll take it. I just need your address and I'll get a money order for $215 in the mail today.

By the way, what's the new price?

I'm interested if it will fit my 700 sps varmint .308 project. I would like to see some pictures.
