The original 300 Whisper.
Not sure a 223 will have enough "punch" left at 200 yards, but they work very nice to 125 (personal longest DRT shot with one on deer). I could make it work if I needed...

At this point a 6.8 bolt gun (current requirement of a manually operated action for deer here in PA) is not going to be as easy to find as a Grendel or 350L. Will look around and see what pops up...

I plan to reload and have a stock of SRP, but no LRP. I also want something that I can resupply at a store or online order if needed. I don't always have time to load, but like to shoot. I can then...

I hadn't thought much about the 350L. I did have a 7.62 RAR a while back. It was nice, but the majority of the ammo is LRP.

I had also thought of a 300 Ham'r, but don't know of any bolt guns chambered for it.

Update: picked up a Howa 6.5 Grendel
Requirements: .224 or larger bullet, small rifle primer, factory ammo (no wildcat), rifle to be about 6.5 lbs or less, threaded barrel.
Will see most use at...
I was hoping to keep them subsonic for the giggle factor, but if they need to move faster to be more accurate, that is not a problem either. At my current seating depth, the lube groove is just...
I recently resized some 115gr RNFP .313 bullets for a "used to have" handgun down to .309, when I wanted to try them in my 300 BO for a plinking load. I already have 500+ so I figured I might as well...

The trigger is ok for hunting, but far from perfect for a target rifle. I intend to use it mainly for woods hunting, so that is ok. I do not anticipate shots beyond 100 yards. Plinking at the range...
Right now the issue is finding different powders to try. I will look for Unique and AA9 to try next few times I make my rounds through the shops.

Anybody able to share experiences? I really like the quick takedown feature and weight. It will be a dream to carry all day, almost like a trapper '92 (which I wish I could find an affordable one in...
I have been looking at load data and have seen 158gr SWC with 5gr Titegroup as the listed max. I have 158gr "pugnose" bullets that I plan to work up with TG and HP-38 for my 4.2" GP100.
I have not...

Prefer a factory cartridge, but not required if dies and starter brass can be included in the deal. Prefer something 6mm, 30, 35, .4* diameter. Let me know what you have please.
Old thread...Cartridge 445 Super Mag (44Spcl, 44 Russian, 44 Mag) would be my choice so I voted for the 44 Mag. I was really thinking a 357 Max since I already load for that family, but something...

I've dealt with Rob before...good guy.

I was looking at that same model in 6.5x55, but I went another route. Still looking for a good #1 at a great price. What really caught my eye was the stainless and wood combo. Right beside the...

Ruger American Ranch 7.62x39. Mounted a Hawke Vantage 2-7x32 in Nikon low rings and have yet to get to the range...hopefully today.

There is one in PA listed on Armslist with the Bushnell Acog look alike dot sight for $600. No relationship with seller, just saw it as I was browsing there today.

I have always wanted a HS Precision TD in .308, but would settle for 6.5x55 in a High Wall.
Update on the 30 Badger. MGM is now offering it for chambering in their Contender and Encore barrels for those interested. If you can't do the work yourself, or know someone that can, it is a better...

Thanks for the link. In all my searches, that group never came up.

This is the bullet style I am wanting to try for hunting in my Rossi 92. It is a 20" barrel 357 Mag that I just got a week...
Forum: Factory Rifles
204 Ruger is a necked down and AI shoulder on the 222Mag case, also a factory round. Not too familiar with cartridges based off of that one. Additional ones off the .223 case are the TCU family (6mm,...
