    243 Win. barrel life question ?

    I've been thinking of going with a 243 Win. for varmint and target shooting but have heard that barrel life is relatively short ( about 1500 rounds I've read on one source ) ! I was originally thinking of going with a 223 Rem. for the same purpose but thought maybe the 243 Win. would be better...

    Why won't the major ammunition companies come out with 45-70 + P loads ?

    Just wondering is all....I know that there are a lot of older designed rifles out their that are still being used but most modern 45-70 cal rifles like the Marlin 1895 , Winchester 1886 modern version , Ruger no. 1 , Winchester & Browning Hi Wall single shots , etc. can easily handle higher...

    Is a 20" barrel enough for a 223 cal varmint/target rifle ?

    Is this enough barrel length for an efficient & accurate 223 cal rifle with a faster barrel twist ( 1 in 8" or 1 in 9 " ) ? It will most likely be a bolt action with a medium or heavy weight barrel...thanks !

    Thinking of a FN TSR 223 cal for long range varmint hunting

    Don't know much about the rifle other than seeing one at a local shop and one of the employees bragging it up ! It did seem a bit heavy but I guess for long range shooting this isn't a big deal.....most likely with bipod and scope attached it will weigh close to 11 lbs or so ! Anybody got one...

    Does anybody make custom target grips for the Beretta 87 Target model ?

    I know that Beretta advertises a set of right hand wood target grips on their website but they have been out of stock for a very long time now and the stock black plastic grips are okay for plinking but I want a bit larger grip with at least a thumb rest for precision shooting which I feel this...

    What's your favorite 45-70 ammo for medium to big game ?

    I just used up a couple of boxes of factory 405 gr Remington and man, they are fun to shoot and real easy on the shoulder ! I try to duplicate the load as far as velocity and bullet weight but with hard cast and IMR 4198 powder going about 1300 to 1350 fps ! I also hunt with 300 gr factory...

    627 Pro Series ammo question ?

    I was told by a local source to practice more with 38 special ammo and only use 357 mag loads for when necessary ! :confused: I bought the N frame Smith so I could practice more with full power 357 ammo to adjust to it and have it sighted in for my hunting loads ! I love this revolver by the...
