    Had a spot I needed to check over for a Red stag group that has been lurking there the last couple of years, but kept getting sidetracked by other spots. Decided I had to get up there before it was...

    I shot my first deer 17 years ago with a .223 and have always had a probably unreasonable enthusiasm for it. It seems to work well even with 55gr size bullets but there is a lot more potential if...

    Hello. Sorry to see this. I'd say your reciever is toast, it would pay to check with some other gunsmiths but I'd say the weld job alone would be grounds for refusal of proof in any CIP...

    I'm finding the 55gr Sierra Game Kings in the Buffalo 223 ammo really good. This is one from the opposite shoulder of a fallow yearling at 346m (used a rangefinder). it held together really well...

    Still use the old 55gr Nosler SB in 223, don't shoot over 180 metres, always do the job if I do mine.

    Nah nor-west and 25/08 IMP, you guys are confusing the bullet I used with the old original Nosler solid base. I used a bonded solid base which is quite different to what you are thinking of. ...

    nor-west liked post by luv2safari On thread : Remington Core-Lokt back in supply
    The Core-Lokt ammo became popular back in the day, because the bullets held together better than the usual cup-n-core bullets of the day. Winchester tried to counter with their Silvertip ammo, but is...

    Shorten the chamber on the existing barrel to 7mmSaum or WSM. Or: sell the rifle to me for $50 and get something else.

    4 thou RO I would not be happy with but it will most likely not be the cause of your accuracy issues, as pointed out back a bit. I first became very anal about runout when I used to shoot...
