  2. Howa mini action in 6mm arc

    Well, did ya go to the range yesterday? “inquiring minds want to know”
  3. 1988 270 Win Remington M700

    Jack O'Conner was right. 270 Win. is a great cartridge. If I had to have just one caliber to hunt in Texas, which is where I live and hunt, it would be a 270 Win hands down.
  4. Best performing 7MM-08 powder?

    In my 7mm-08 i started with some older Remington brass and it loved IMR 4350 and Nosler BT and Partitions. I changed to Lupua brass and that changed my entire load. Varget was the powder of choice and not IMR 4350 anymore. Go figure. But what has been previously mentioned, IMR 4064, VARGET...
  5. Texas gun owner map LOL

    I'm going to do my part the very first day of early voting. That way I have my vote in just in case something happens to me. I got mine in. I'm taking no chances this year.
  6. Texas gun owner map LOL

    Texas has to many transplants coming here to get away from high taxes, high cost of living, high crime rate, etc. from democratic states. Then they get here and want to change things to be like it is where they just came from.
  7. 7mm-08 or .284 Win for hunting rifle

    The rifle from my OP turned out to be a "hole burner" 7mm-08. It has shot every load combo decent (after fine tuning) that I have tried. During load development I changed brass and my load totally change also. I had some older Remington brass I started off with and it loved IMR4350 and didn't...
  8. The Cost Of A Hobby

    I have a Skeeter ZXR20 on order. It should be here in a couple of weeks. My 16 year old son and his buddy are going to fish the Texas High School Bass Association trail. I'm going to captain. It should be here in a couple of weeks. I about throw up ever time I think about how much its going...
  9. Rifle barrel upgrade

    A buddy of mine built a rifle just almost exactly what you are describing. He took a 700 action, Benchmark #4 6 groove 9 twist barrel @ 22" long. HS stock and a Timney trigger with a 10 power VX3. This thing will burn a hole at 100 yrds. with lots of differant loads. The rifle shoots anything...
  10. With a Heavy Heart I post this Don "Stick" Stark" has passed

    I shot with Stick several times at matches and at the range just shooting few times. He would always be willing to help, offer advise, and share his knowledge. One day I stopped by S&S and they were closed which I didn't realize. He brought me in the shop and he was bedding a Model 7 he had...
  11. Preferred bullet weight for 7mm Rem Mag?

    Hey Buzzsaw, I'm hunting west of Sweetwater. My stand is on a really high point. I couldn't shoot as far as I can see with a 50 BMG. I have a 7 mag on a Model 70 action with a #5 Krieger 9 twist on it. Due to the hog factor, I shoot 65 grns of IMR 4831 and a 150 Barnes TTSX. It knocks the...
  12. 2020 list of sub $1000 custom actions?

    https://aprifles.com/products/apr I cant remember who makes these actions. They have been talked about on here before.
  13. Barnes bullets on elk

    Chad I haven't shot any elk with it, but in my 7mm Rem Mag I load a 150 TTSX and have shot A LOT of big boar hogs. And it knocks the hell out of them. It blows thru both shoulders and I can't ever remember one not exiting on the other side. I'm getting 3,150 FPS in my rifle with 65 grns of...
  14. Broughton Barrels closed !!!

    I have said this before and I think it matters who is putting the barrel on more than who made the barrel. As long as it is a reputable manufacture. You can take the best barrel in the world and if its not installed correctly its trash.
  15. Hooked on Gunsmoke

    Its not Gunsmoke, but I just watched Support your local Sheriff with James Garner this last weekend. I really enjoyed it. I don't watch to much TV or movies now a days especially the stuff they're putting out these days.
  16. 6.5 CM Lapua Brass

    I run mine pretty hot with Lapua brass and CCI SRM primers. The rifle is a hunting rifle Model 7 with a 20" barrel on it. Using 48 grns of RL26 and a 140 Partition from the chronograph I'm getting 2800 FPS. It is a stiff load or this rifle. I defiantly worked up to 48 grns. You can tell it...
  17. 7mm 120 Pro-Hunter Opinions

    Me and my buddy had rifles built at the same time in 2003. Mine was a 280 Rem and his the 7mm-08. The Smith went by Lilja's recommendations on twist. They were supposedly 10 twist. Which in theory should stabilize a 140 bullet. Neither rifle would. Both of us spend A LOT of money in...
  18. 7mm 120 Pro-Hunter Opinions

    Thanks Y'all for the input.
  19. 7mm 120 Pro-Hunter Opinions

    Anyone hunt with 7mm 120 Pro-Hunters for whitetail? If so, how did it perform? We have always just considered 140 gr as light as we were willing to go. A buddy of mine has a slow twist 7mm-08 and was wondering about this combo.
  20. 45 vs 10mm

    Like Trophied said, there has been a lot of our enemies bit the dust from a 45. No telling how many Krauts and Gooners met their maker from a 45 from WW1 - Vietnam.
