Most everyone gets good luck with the Remington or Hornady 32 or 40 grain bullets. Nobody has had any luck that I know of besides me with the Winchester 34 grain hollowpoints. My rifle is a Remington, yet I don't think it matters on the brand of your rifle, since each is different. I do recommend tr...

30-06 all the way! I've never hunted hogs or antelope, but the 30-06 kills deer and leaves 'em layin with a near center hit. I don't know much about hogs(which I would say does a pretty good job), but a 220 grain bullet will take an elk down. Just my .02.

Why 150? At one time I was shooting across a lake at some floating jugs at about that range which requi...

I have a BSA contender 3.5-12x40 on my .204 now. I have one major concern with it. I can zero it in at 100 yards to where it will shoot 5 shots within the diameter of a pop can. Not shoot it for a week. Take it out try to shoot and it will be off by at least 4-5 inches in either direction. It has a...
