7 rem mag and 139 grain hornady
Depends on which bullet you're using. The Interlock expands well, yet holds together fairly well also. The SST is a whole other story. They can be kinda splody. Better would be a 150gr Nosler Ballistic Tip.- std7mag

Fall bear frustrations
Yeah... No guarantee that you're calling in a black bear. As I said, pretty much any predator will come in.- std7mag

Fall bear frustrations
What large animals are in the area? Elk, mule deer, white tailed deer? I've had success seeing bears while using white tailed fawn and cow elk bleats. Make it sound wounded or can't find it's mom. I typically use it for coyotes. But half the time I get bears coming in. Bobcat several times...- std7mag

Compounds- How old is too old?
I still have and shoot a 1992 Golden Eagle Hawk Carbine. My wife has and shoots an old Bear compound. Circa 1980s. I think it's set up for 35lb pull and has I believe a 50% let off. -

The classic magnums - will they see a renaissance?
If I read it correctly, if I build rifles and make "factory" ammo, then I can submit it for SAAMI. -

Maybe I should patent and release the 25DH next year. 6.5 Rem Mag necked down. 😉 -

Reloader 22 powder
They have a 4lb jug of Alliant Power Pistol for $120. I may have to buy some just because.. 😁- std7mag

Reloader 22 powder
Just checked my local distributor/wholesaler. They don't have RL22 in stock. But they do have RL23. $53.85 per pound. Surprisingly enough they also have Unique for $43.95 a pound. Guess a shopping trip is in order.- std7mag

As I've stated before. You can't have a discussion on the color of baby poop without someone bringing up the Creedmoor. -

In Praise of The Winchester .270. Any good words to say about it ?
When I was still a young, impressionable lad, many people that I knew who hunted had one. I don't know why, but while seeing the obvious merits of the 270 Win, it just never called out to me like other cartridges. I had bought a Whitworth Mark X in 270 Win some years ago. But that was for... -

Savage 99E 243 How accurate ?
I load for my neighbor. Savage 99 in 243 Win. His wife and 2 of his daughters have taken multiple deer with it. 100gr Sierra SPBT GameKings over RL26. -

Superior 7MM?
@DamascusSteel, Superior in what way? Hunting rifle? Realistic distances? As for the "heavy for caliber bullets", are you shooting 1,000 yard Benchrest? Or 24X24 plate at 3 miles? Really the only place that you need "heavy for caliber". Elk at 1,000+ yards? The GunWerks guys have been... -

7mm-08 150 gr velocity in short barrel
Well, ok... I'll dive in here too.. My experience is with my Stevens 200 in 7mm-08. My first foray into smithing was to reame the chamber to 7mm-08AI (7mm-08 IMP, 40°). Barrel was a 22" sporter. I put 6,000 (yes, you read that correctly) rounds down the pipe in this configuration. Played... -

Bullet noise
For some of us that hunt public lands, yes you can hear the bullet go past you. It's the one that you don't hear that is the real issue.- std7mag

Similar. But more case volume. Either would push a 70gr VMAX or 90gr BlitzKing well. -

20 Practical for coyote?
I did!! Of course if you neck up to 25 caliber and "improve" it you essentially end up with the 257 Kimber. Supposed to closely duplicate 250 Savage ballistics. @Booner774, With how popular the 204 Ruger is, it's not hard or expensive to get casings for it. Heck, I even find them laying...
