I am thinking about getting a 700 Ti in 30/06.I elk hunt in some pretty rough terrain and ain't as young as I used to be.I have used a Win model 70 in 300 WBY in the past and can tolerate the recoil,but on the other hand am not too crazy about it either. Does anybody have any comment about the...

California enviornmentalist are wanting to outlaw lead in all hunting ammo including rifles.The Condors are supposedly getting lead poisoning from animal carcasses.Not a huge deal with shotguns,but I don't know what the rifle bullet solution would be.Some say it is just a step to outlaw hunting.

Do residents of Elk inhabited areas who have relied on the meat for years have any new concerns because of Chronic Wasting Disease.Since it is such a large part of the economy in some areas you know you will get a sugar coated answer from outfitters etc.Maybe I am just paranoid, but my brain is...

I think I am going to go buy a couple of boxes of factory ammo to fireform some new 280 AI brass.Do you think it matters what brand it is,or is it all about the same?

Everybody likes to talk about great shots they have made at long distance and with small caliber.I have killed dozens of deer with rifles ,shotguns,bows,and muzzle loaders,but I have also missed some.A couple of years ago I shot a nice buck, maybe B&C, with a 300 WBY.The shot was about 100...

I was curious how much people have spent on hunting.I know considering licenses,air fare,outfitters,gear,weapons,it can really add up.I hate to post an estimate of what I have spent.My wife might see it.

Can I ship a rifle from NC to myself care of an outfitter in MT to hold until I get there?

If you shoot an animal with a 150 grain bullet traveling at 3000 FPS and the bullet exits the animal at 2000 FPS, is that more energy transfered than the same bullet traveling at 1000 FPS that stops in the animal?May be a physics equation for this,but I don't know what it is.

I had a friend bring a rifle over to sight in.The rifle shot high and the elevation adjustment had been ruined trying to get it to turn some more.I took the scope off and found that somebody had shimmed the back of the scope.Anyhow ,I threw the scope in the trash and installed one I had laying...

If you were going to buy a new automatic rifle which would you chose?Remington 750,Browning Bar,or Benelli R1.I am going to see if I can find an after Christmas deal on one of these.

I want to buy a BAR.I like the old blond stocks on vintage rifles and see them on the auction sites.But,I'm wondering,with the modern CNC machines would a new rifle be better?Also,is the new aluminum receiver going to be tough enough to crank down on your mounting screws without...

I am replacing this assembly to get rid of the ISS which gets on my nerves right or wrong.It looks like the factory threads had something the consistency of anti-seize compound on them.Is this a good idea or am I just looking at some crud?

I probably have 10 to 15 pounds of various Dupont IMR powders.Anybody know the date code logic.

When I load spitzer type bullets such as Nosler Partitions I get a sliver or two of copper peeled back as the bullet is seated.Very small,probably not noticeable unless you are looking for them.They do not appear to effect accuracy,at least not for hunting load requirements.I bevel the neck edge...

Sounds like BS but I just had a guy tell me that there is a website that you can pay to shoot a deer by remote control.The rifles are mounted and you move them with your mouse and click when you want to fire.The place will send you your mounted deer.Is that crazy or what?

Any suggestions for a new digital camera for hunting trip pictures and hopefully some wildlife pictures.Needs to be compact.Would like to stay under $300.

Has anybody had any accuracy success with light loads in something like a 300WBY.I tried with H4831SC and got a 6 inch group.Would a faster burning powder work better or is it a lost cause.Was aiming for something in the range of a 30/06 factory load.

Is there any reason the pressure ceiling on, for instance, a 264 Win Mag would be 54K CUP compared to say 50K for a 30/06 other than concern for the possible condition of the rifle you might be shooting it in?

I am reloading hunting loads.I had 1000 Federal 210M match primers,but after several years I have about used them all.I have 1000 CCI 200 and 1000 Remington 9 1/2.Is it worth the trouble for me to get another case of the Federal.I know not to change to magnum,and I know it's something a bench...

I got sticker shock looking at the cost of rifle ammo in Cabelas so I loaded up some Elk loads this morning.Thought I had some Nosler partitions in 165 grain but I did not,so I used Speer SPBT.Sighted in the rifle using a "state of the art" target.Used 58 grains of 4350( 1979 Speer...
