    Hornady Interbond bullets?

    DRS. I did not see where you listed the intended game. If you are hunting deer, there is no performance reason to shoot the expensive premium bullets-except Nosler seconds. If it is just something that you want to do, then fine, but there is not specific reason to do it. Have you considered...

    COVID-19 medical mask shortage - can hunting gear companies help?

    Masks do nothing. They actually can be detrimental. Sheeple. A virus goes straight through a mask. Masks originally were used to stop TB. They can help with germs and bacteria but if you can breathe through them, then the virus goes through without a hitch. SMDH. I cannot believe that the...

    Bear Head Taken from Colorado Road Kill

    LMAO! Is this the worst thing that people have to talk about? The bear was dead, who the hell cares? It is not like someone killed it on purpose and took the head. I get it, it is illegal, but seriously?!!

    Accuracy advantages of lead free bullets?

    Not a dime's worth of difference, for the most part. The main difference is the cost. Animals do not know the difference, except when extreme penetration is necessary and it does not take much research to find many instances where coppers did not expand well on soft tissue. Your money, but I...

    Bear Attack Speed Video

    Riiiiight! LMAO! The ONLY chance that you have to do that, is if you had your shotgun off of your shoulder and were totally expecting the bear. THEN hope that your Wyatt Earp guts kick in and you can stay cool enough to put the slugs where they belong. SMDH.

    260 Remington fans

    Just to give you a little perspective on the .260, the load that I use, is virtually the same velocity as the Hornady American Whitetail, 130-grain factory load for my .270.

    Utv tires

    UTV tires are incredibly expensive. I had six flats this year on Duro tires, which are not cheap tires-two of which were ruined. I have switched to cheap tires and so far have been as good as the expensive ones. It is real easy to get a lot of money wrapped up in tires, just because they look...

    260 Remington fans

    7828 is definitely not the best powder for that cartridge. The velocity is fine but you should get better accuracy than that. H4350, IMR 4350, Reloder 26, IMR 4831, Reloder 16, IMR4451 and Reloder 17 are better options. I load Hornady 129 Interlocks at 2950 fps, over a near max load of Reloder...

    Left Handed Rifles

    The rifle will serve you well, for sure. Good luck with the Loopy.

    30-06 reload info

    You can dig up recipes all day long for any cartridge that you want. The problem is that every rifle/barrel is different. Go to published data (powder, or bullet companies) and start from there. The 30-06 is extremely easy to find accurate loads for. If you cannot get a good load with H4350...

    Left Handed Rifles

    I have both right and left-handed rifles and have no problem with either. Right hand is easier to find, but I like my left side better. I have Savage and Remington rifles and most have custom barrels, now. I think that the Tikka would be a good choice and they have better quality control than...

    Utv tires

    Look at Amazon. I just bought two 26-11-12, 6-ply, for my Mule Pro FX for 130 delivered. ITP makes good stuff.

    Anyone have a Sierra loading manual and a couple of minutes?

    What is wrong with 3000 fps? That is what you get in the .308/30-06, when you use small bullets. Load it and shoot.

    7mm Rem Mag Cartridge

    All the handloading nonsense does not apply. The OP said factory ammo. If the cheap ammo shoots well, then use it! Hornady SST bullets suck anyway. Hornady American Whitetail ammo is good, as is some of their other offerings. If you are going to only shoot targets, or deer/antelope, it does...

    Bullet selection for 6.5 cm

    I have killed a bunch of deer and a couple antelope with them out to past 400 yards. They are extremely accurate and smuck deer just fine-near, or far. They are not cheap, though, and overall, for deer, I would always recommend the 129 Interlock. You do not need the high bc bullets for...

    Bullet selection for 6.5 cm

    Just try to put it through the shoulders, or neck and it will expand better. At moderate velocity, some premium bullets can be problematic.

    Bullet selection for 6.5 cm

    I have shot gobs of deer with the 129 Hornady Interlock. It has never failed me. What was wrong with the GMX? Poor expansion?

    Another reminder why you are armed in the woods at all times anymore!

    That is one of the dumbest statements that I have read lately. Nobody would use a gun unless they were threatened. This apparently is not just your common unemployed "non-essential". SMDH!

    Atv sprayers

    If it is several years old, it is the pump.

    Maintaining your rig

    Whatever you do, always run synthetic lubricants, if you want the best in longevity and performance. I use only Amsoil lubricants in all of my engines/motors (including my outboard) and have Toyota change transmission and differentials every 60,000 miles with their lube.
