Has anyone used the 90 gr. Speer Hot Core for deer in their 243 or 6mm? This bullet shoots incredibly well out of my 243, but it seems kind of soft in my testing. If any of you have shot deer with it,I would love to hear your results. Thanks for your time!

I really want a 1911 variation, something plain jane that I can add to as I desire.I want a 45 ACP. What is the best buy out there right now. The only one I've really checked out was a Charles Daly. It was pretty nice, but I am curious about what else is out there. Thanks for the help!

I've been hearing of a relatively new bullet on the market from Norma called the Oryx. Anybody out there used these yet? If so, what do you think of 'em?Terminal performance good? I think I may give 'em a try in my .243. The only other bonded bullet I can find for it is the Scirrocco, and I have...

A buddy of mine recently bought a new New England Handi Rifle w/bull barrel in .243 Win. When he fires it, it has a tendecy to break open, ejecting the empty. This especially happens when firing prone with a bipod.Anybody else have this problem? Is this a safety problem, and should he ship it...

I just had the transfer bar in my .30 Carbine Blackhawk break. I've never completely disassembled any of my Blackhawks. Is it easy enough that I could replace the tranfer bar myself, or should I send it back to Ruger and have them do it.I know they have excellent service, but I hate the hassle...

Anybody know where I can find 9mm +P or+P+ reloading data. I have a handgun that will handle those pressure levels, and would like to do a limited amount of shooting with them. However, all I can find in my manuals are standard pressure loads, and I have no intentions of trying to concoct higher...

I am really considering getting a P22. I love how they look and feel. I'd probably get the 3.4" version.I just want one for plinking and maybe rabbit hunting. I don't neccessarily need target grade accuracy, although I would like to shoot " minute of pop can". Anybody have any experience with...

Is there any good public land for deer hunting during rifle season in any of these states? I've hunted in Kentucky on private land for years, but all that land was recently sold to outfitters who charge an insane amount of $ to hunt. So I need to find someplace else to go. I live in Ohio and...

Anybody used the 95 gr. BallisticTip or the 95 gr. Hornady SST in a .243? Preferably, has anyone taken deer or antelope with these bullets? What was your impression of the bullet performance? I've worked up a good load w/ the Ballistic Tip, but I've not shot anything with it yet. Thanks.

Just for sake of argument, what in your opinion is the smallest caliber that can be used effectively on elk? I've read or heard of several accounts of rounds such as the 6mm, .243, .250 Savage, .257 Roberts etc. being used used to cleanly bag elk. On the other hand, many people say that rounds...

After several of my friends have told me how wonderful Powerbelts are, I have finally decided to give them a try. I'm getting very good accuracy out of my Knight using 100 grs. 777 and a 295 gr Powerbelt HP ( the lead one).The Ohio ML season opens in a little over a week. What kind of...

I'm thinking of getting a M77 International, the one with the Mannlicher style stock. Probably in .30-06. However, I'm a little concerned that the full length stock will affect accuracy. I'm also not sure if I'll notice the velocity loss from the 18" barrel as opposed to the standard 22" barrel...

I recently found out that Nosler has reintroduced the Solid Base. Has anyone ever used these bullets, and if so, what are your impressions of them? I've read a little about them, and most writers seemed impressed with them on deer sized game. They appear to be constructed just like the Ballistic...

Anybody have any pet .243 loads they've used on deer ? I'm considering trying some new bullets, specifically the 85 gr. or 90 gr. Barnes X bullet, or the 90 gr. Swift Scirocco. My pet load uses the 85 gr. Partition right now, but I like to experiment too much to use one load exclusively.If...
