Re: 25/06 bullet selection.

Nice animal. I wish we had those things here in Virginia. The partition has been bustin' bone for a long time. I was thinking about the partition before I posted. I just wanted to get some feedback on some of the newer stuff, in particular the TSX. Thanks Rick.

Re: 25/06 bullet selection.

Yes the deer did die, but I spent most of the morning looking for him because of no blood. And as for the cost of premium bullets. I don't mind paying more because I won't be shooting it a great deal (as compared to my 204 ;). I'll probably shoot the partion.

Re: 25/06 bullet selection.

I have just never deer hunted with anything as small as the .25 before. I just want to make sure it punches a hole out the other side. As I said earlier, I had a bad experience with a 120gr. BT from a 7-08. No exit hole and no blood. When I skinned the deer I found the jacket under the skin on the f...

25/06 bullet selection.

Few weeks back I bought a 2506 barrel for my encore. It will be strictly a whitetail gun. I don't know if I should use the new barns TSX or one of the new bullets from Nosler. I"ll be shooting 100gr. so I want to stay away from the original ballistic tip( had a bad experience with a 120grnr fro...

Nikon Buckmaster scopes

I just bought myself a post Christmas present with some gift cards I got for presents. Nikon Buckmaster 3-9x40. I really like this scope. I notice I can pick up the retical quickly when I bring the scope to my eye. And Light transmition is great. When I compared it to a VXII 3-9x40 I have, it seems ...

375 JDJ reloading info.?

Thinking of getting a 375 JDJ barrel for my encore (rifle). Between that and a 405 win. My problem is I can't find any reloading info online for it. Any of you guys have it in a newer manual or know where I can get it online. The Hogdon website had some powder charges but no pessure listed.

300wsm

I heard that wsm cases split pretty easily. Is this true. I had a guy ask me about the 300wsm and 7mmwsm. He was looking into them and ask for my opinion. I have only shot the belted mags and have no experience with the short mags

6mm BR question.

I have a chance to get a 6mmBR barrel for my TC. I know it will shoot the light stuff all day long. I was wanting to get it for a heavy varminter/deer rifle. My question is this. How well does it shoot the 100gr. stuff? Both of my reloading manuals only talk about the light bullets. Would it be leat...

Is the 32 gr. v-max enough for coyotes?

I have 2 204's. the one I want to use to kill these dogs is a TC encore. It shoots the vmax better than the 39 gr. sierras. Will it be enough? I am not worried about fur or anything. these yotes are killing deer and pets. And I have been asked to fix the problem. If I still had my 220 swift I would ...

243 or 257?

I am planning on getting one of these very soon but can't make up my mind. I have had experience with the 243 before. But not the Roberts. It will not be a varmint gun, but rather my other deer rifle(7mmSTW). Is there anyone out there who has shot/ hunted with both? My heart says Roberts, but want t...

BK's from my Savage. I was suprised there was no poof of feather. I could not find entrance or exit. just a...
