Bolt lift..... #1: How sure that your powder measure is dropping 73grains? (Just asking, trying to check off things on the list) #2: Brass from the same lot? (Inconsistant brass thickness can cause some pressure issues) #3: Is the bolt hard to lift on round number one or round number...

Last weekend was the 'last weekend' for the youth to hunt whitetails with a firearm in the State of Arkansas(bow hunting from now until Feb 28th now!!). Son got a doe during this hunt with a Savage 10FP .308Win. I ranged her at 428 yards, twice and 429 yards once(not sure what is up with...

The US Army considers the .308Win a 800 meter effective weapon(the Marines go a little further on distance). But I'm thinking their intended game animal is a little different then a whitetail.... I've use a Savage 10fp with a 20" tube on whitetails out to 550yards. That whitetail was only in...

Don't forget to reduce your loads some to make up for the thicker brass.... Other then that, it's great stuff for the price once it's prepped! Scott

Got ya.....was thinking you got the T/C Encore muzzleloader for some reason. Scott

Not to 'steal the topic', but I think this question will also help the original poster in his decision. SWFA, What is the return rate on the Millet vs. the SS optics? (if you even keep track of anything like that) Scott

Wait.....don't take it back. You can use the ProHunter barrels on the regular Encore frames, and vis-versa. I do! Hinge pin....shouldn't be necessary right from the get go. And to tell you the truth, I wouldn't buy a frame that has had an over-sized pin driven in(personal thing, YMMV) and a...

Don't think there will ever be the "ONE SCOPE' to end all scopes. It would need to cover everything from 1.1x-75x have a 50mm tube and maybe something around 100mm front end to let 300% light in. No turrets of any kind will be on the tube because it would automatically adjust power settings...

Way to put them down!! Glad your dry spell has ended!! Thanks for the photo's, always a big plus. Scott

Trying to wrap my mind around why this is a BIG .30-caliber bullet? Why use a 300RUM and not the .308Win? Or even the 300Whisper?!?!?! I fire 240grSMK's from a 300Whisper and fire 210grVLD's from a 308Win...guess my rifles are broken, cause they can group these projectiles just fine. The...

Ladder test. Find the node. Scott

You stated: What is wrong with the Savage ML-II loaded with Accurate 5744(something along the lines of 40-ish grains with a 250gr sabot)? I guess you could dump three of those pellet things down the tube and cover them up with the same projectile and get the same results? But the...

This is the way I do it for the wife's T/C Contender 21": #1: Get a hundred .223 Rem(prefer Winchester brass) #2: Run them through the sizing die after spraying them with Hornady One-Shot(making sure I get plenty inside the case neck #3: Load them with her favorite projectile #4: Shoot 'em #5...

Wow....when did the 300WM become just a 1k rifle? Didn't know it was necessary to add the word "Ultra" to it to get it beyond that magical 1k mark?? Hmmmm, interesting...... Wonder what happens if you were to add the word "Ultra Wizz Bangin" to it? You could probably shoot to the equator from...
