That is really good to know... thanks! I guess I need to start looking for some reliable data for Tin Star, looks like it will make a good substitute as long as I pay attention.

Was looking for TB the other day, but could only find some Tin Star... I didn't buy it because I don't know a thing about it, other than it is Vihtavuori's answer to Trail Boss. What are the...

Ruger describes it as a "Heavier tapered, threaded barrel," whatever that actually means.
Understanding that it means a loss of some belocity, I am a fan of shorter barrels in a hunting rifle. 22"...

Looks like it's going to be the Ruger American Predator. When it's all said and done the RAP seems to be the best value.

All things being equal, it really wouldn't make much difference, but in the event I would get behind in reloading or sizing etc. I have more options if I want to grab the gun and go kill something,...

The Model 7 is a great rifle, for sure... there are a couple on GB right now,in .260, one has a nice, classic Mannlicher stock.
I think though, that I'm going to rule out the .260, if only for the...

If I do end up going with the Swede, it will most likely be a T3, if I don't go the milsurp sporter route.
Forum: Factory Rifles
Good point on the brass availability, although the .260 does have the advantage of easier conversion of other .308 family brass... the correct headstamp matters to an extent, but not an...

Yet another option... Howa's a good rifle. My BIL has one in 300WM that is an absolute tackdriver.
Forum: Factory Rifles
The flaw in that theory is that it ignores the non performace related differences... ammo and brass availability and quality being a big one. Short action vs. long action is another.
Not to mention...

Thanks, tygar, that's very helpful information on the 140's.
I do like Savage rifles, hunted with dad's old 110 in 30-06 some as a kid, even borrowed it a few times moose hunting as an adult... It...

Smoke, do you have any "pet loads?"
Pics of DRT bucks etc?

It's all good... I'll take any advice I can get. I'm not too proud to listen to someone with experience where I have none.
I do agree with all the posters pushing the .30 cal cast loads... but as I...

Warboar, is your brother going to be using a similar load in the Creedmoor?
What kind of velocity are you seeing with your load?
NavyVet, nice looking rifle. Is that the original or the replacement?
Forum: Factory Rifles
Sharpshooter, thats the kind of post I'm looking for... what load did you end up using, how far and how big was the muley?

Bullet wise I'm leaning towards130-140gr as a good all around weight. I've always had good luck with and preferred bullets on the heavy side.

I'm looking for some input on a new backup/utility/teaching/etc. rifle (My wife decided she wants to start hunting, but my 30-06 kicks too much.) I've always been a .30+ or nothing kind of guy, so...
I'm not a 9mm hater by any means, but I'd have to disagree with the 9mm as a reliable hog stopper. I have seen it fail miserably more than once. Not saying a well placed shot or two with the right...

I like the looks of the 311440. A perfectly round hole on either side is much preferred over shredded tatters on the exit side.
Lots of good info for starters.

I guess the key is the right combination of a harder boolit and the powder load that keeps it stable and accurate to the target, with enough speed and weight to kill what I'm hitting. Sounds pretty...
