Here's a target that I modified. It's a 100 yard sight-in target for setting your scope to shoot 1.5 inches high, wich is optimal for most hunting rifles in my area.
Would you guys consider the 7mm-08 to be a good varmint gun for coyote? Also for just fun target shooting. I have compared it to the .243 and the 7mm-08 has better ballistics hands down. Only drawback I can see is a slight gain in recoil, but that isn't a factor to me. I figured barrel life...
What bullet weight will give me the best performance with a 1:10 twist in my 270 wsm? 130, 140, or 150? I want the most accuracy I can get, and before I start buying tons of ammo to try out, I want to narrow my selection to what bullet weight will be the best. So far the 140's have been doing...
I have a question about the black oxide coating on Winchester supreme bullets. I know it probably doesn't reduce fouling like they claim, but I'm wondering if it has any negative effects? Is the black oxide harder to get out of the bore than plain copper? I don't want to put anything down my...
Anyone tried this new bullet? I am curious about its performance. I can't find any data on it yet, I'm wondering what the ballistic coefficient is?
Also curious if the nickel plating can wear down the rifling in a barrel?
Has anyone ever tried the Barnes MRX? Its a Triple X with a polymer tip and a Tungsten core instead of lead. I would like to try them, but I wanted some feedback on them first.

I have a Remington 700 that is a year old. I was thinking about having the barrel hand lapped and having the action accurized. How much does accurizing costs, roughly, and what all is done to the action?
I bought my first revolver today. A friend of a friend was hard up for some cash so I took a S&W 60-9 off his hands for only $175.00. I bought it without knowing what its worth. I hope I made a good decision. It is in Excellent shape and has had less than 50 rounds fired through it. What is...
I just bought this rifle. Judging by the picture would you send it back for another barrel? seem this one has too many tool marks inside and causes it to foul badly.
I recently bought a 270wsm in remington 700 XCR. After buying it I was introduced to this forum. I find alot of guys here dont like the 270wsm for some reason or another. Did I make a bad choice? And is there a chance that this cartridge will become unpopular enough to make it hard to buy ammo...
I am fairly new to the gun cleaning world. Right now I use Tetra. Its a non-etching copper solvent gel. It seems to work pretty well.
Wuld like to also hear everyones methods of proper cleaning.
I had a gunsmith instal my scope on my rifle for me a few weeks ago. While i was cleaning my gun today I noticed that the front ring is not perfectly square with the barrel. So i got a measuring tape out an measured from both sides of the front ring to the edge of the objective lense. i found...
i was wanting some opinions on the "Black Oxide" coating that Winchester puts on their " Ballistic Silvertips". Does it harm the barrel in any way, or is it pretty safe?
Anyone tried these rounds out? Says they are for heavy game, but they are ballistic tip. I was wondering if they are good for medium game and if they are as accurate as the Ballistic silvertips.
