I was in a sporting goods store this weekend and decided to buy a box of Federal 180 grain Partitions. I usually reload everything I shoot but thought I would try these out. They weren't cheap. I didn't open the box at the store, but when I got home I did and noticed they had a cannelure. I...

Anybody have any idea where I can purchase one of these? Thanks Arroyo

What's your opinions on this ammo? I was out shooting some newly concocted handloads today in my 7-08 and tried a few groups of Hornady factory Superperformance 139 grn SSTs. Wow! They smoked my handloads by a good 100 fps (and I was using book maximum loads). Shot into very small groups...

Which one should I get and why? Is it a no brainer(in favor of leupold)? Scope would be used mainly for hunting on one of my "heavy" guns (~8 lb). I'm diehard Leupold, and that's what I was going to get until I read some of the posts on this web site about Vortex. Seems some people think the...

Somebody on this board referred me to these several years back and I bought a pair. They have been great for the price (I think I paid about $250 back then). Very clear/bright optics. My questions are: 1) does anybody know if the current S&W 10x40 is the same quality as the older set I have...

I would like to start a discussion on hunting scope preferences. I'm not talking about sitting at the bench, but rather out in the field. It seems like there is a huge fad these days of ranging the game, checking weather conditions and then spinning turrets based on a trajectory table. What a...

Hey I need some help. Do any of you have a suggestion for a ballistics program that will help identify what the various power setting's dots are from center and which power setting is optimal for a specific load? I just picked up a leupold 2x7 with LR dots and the trajectory does not match the...

It's been *a long* time since I have hand loaded the 308 (30+ years ago). Since I have bought the little Kimber in 308, and have had decent luck with cheap factory loads, I have decided to try some hand loads to see what happens. What's the consensus in powder? I see a lot on the internet...

I just purchased one of these in 308. It's like handling a nice .22, but so far the groups using cheap factory ammo have been 1.5 - 2.5 inches. I would like to consistently get 1 inch groups or better. I do let the barrel cool between shots. Question: The trigger is nice and crisp but I...

I also posted in Campfire section. Im looking for some advice and opinions on what to look for in selecting a used (2nd hand) 4 wheeler for hunting. I am on a poor man's budget and would like to cap my purchase at $2500. Can I get anything decent for that amount? Where should I look besides...

I'm looking for some advice and opinions on what to look for in selecting a used (2nd hand) 4 wheeler for hunting. I am on a poor man's budget and would like to cap my purchase at $2500. Can I get anything decent for that amount? Where should I look besides craigslist? What brands and size...

Has anyone cut the end of their barrel off and re-crown to eliminate the QLA? If so, did it improve your accuracy and expand the variety of bullets your gun would shoot? I am thinking about doing this to my Encore but would like to hear first hand from others who have experience with this the...

For those who have not already read this I thought it is worth posting. This is an EXCELLENT essay. Well thought out and presented. Historical Significance Sixty-three years ago, Nazi Germany had overrun almost all of Europe and hammered England to the verge of bankruptcy and...

I would like to buy a digital camera that takes decent pictures of wildlife. My budget is $300-$400 including accessories. Which one should I get? Any advice is appreciated. thanks

I drew a 2B Muzzleloader deer hunt - need advice on area, possible guides. Thanks
