I'm heading on a OIL backpack sheep hunt this August and am trying to figure out which rifle to take. Here are my options I'm currently considering: 1. 270 Win - Browning Stalker w Boss 18" barrel. Sub MOA @ 2641 fps with 130 gr Nosler Ballistic Tips. Weighs 8# 13oz with scope. 2. 300 Win Mag...

I recently bought some Accubonds off gunbroker....pulled bullets with a cannelure on them. They look great by the way and he has a bunch for sale now if anyone is interested My question is, do I need to pay any attention to where that cannelure is in relation to how deep I am seating my...

What is the shortest length you would go on a 300 win mag to be cut and threaded for a suppressor?

43 years old....shot a bunch without hearing protection when I was younger. Ever since I was about 15 years old, anytime it is really quiet my ears might start ringing but it usually goes away after a couple of hours. So my ears have been ringing off and on for 28 years from shooting, but that's...

I was just seating some bullets in a brand new seating die and noticed the stroke was a little difficult and did not feel smooth, so I inspected the finished cartridge and saw a very slight dimple just below the shoulder. Did another one and same thing. I sprayed some One Shot case lube up in...

Anyone out there use this combo in a 26 inch barrel? I have been running 71 gr for a 165, but am making the jump up to a 180. The Nosler manual only gives recommendations for RL17 and RL22 in 180gr. The RL19 recipe on Alliant website calls for 75 gr with a 180 gr Speer, but I'm not sure how the...

I am working up loads to take up to northern Canada this fall to shoot game within 400 yards and am wondering if any powders should be preferred over the others due to temperature swings. I live in Florida and am shooting in the 90s right now, but I might be hunting in 30 degrees. The...

So my .300 win has a seating depth of 3.592. I'm planning on working up a load for 200 gr Accubonds. With the Nosler (and all other) loading manuals having min and max load recommendations based on 3.340 COAL, am I in danger if I use their existing ranges in this longer COAL? Would their...

I am going on a backpack hunt next Aug (2018) in Canada where Dall Sheep, Mountain Caribou, and Moose are all on the menu. The .308: Sako Finnlight, 20" barrel, 2-10x40 Razor HD LH weighs 7# 3oz The .300: Cooper Excalibur, 26" barrel, 3-18x44 Swaro Z5 Sheep Hunter, weighs 9# If it were...

My whole life I have only hunted whitetail deer, but now I am dreaming of sheep hunts in the mountains (where there are grizzly bears). Maybe elk, moose, etc....but the grizz is in the back of my mind. I would be with a guide 1x1, so not sure if they typically carry bear medicine or not...

So I have been shooting rifles for 30 years, and clean them after any trips to a range, or maybe once a season for just hunting, but I have never done anything like the following that I came across on the internet: "Most hunting rifle barrels have not been properly broken in, which helps to...
