    That's what I ended up ordering.

    .243 Winchester

    That is funny! We've also had great success with a 223, a few years ago I would have thought it was too small but we have had great success on deer, pronghorn, and bigger, with surprising lethality. We've been shooting heavier well constructed bullets, get close, and put the bullet where it...

    .243 Winchester

    I don't reload. Some factory ammo shoots better than others as far as accuracy goes. I have a couple savages.

    .243 Winchester

    Nice buck! It's truly a proud moment when our kids get their first big game. I'm looking for the lightest recoil as possible as I know that's what my kids prefer. That being said if I got the Ruger American Go Wild I'd probably remove the muzzle break so there wouldn't be excessive noise as they...

    What do you mean by 'Savage will eventually fight itself to death'?

    .243 Winchester

    I'm trying to decide on a new rifle for the kids. I'm currently thinking of getting a Ruger American Go Wild or the Savage 110 Trail Hunter. I have more experience with Savage vs. Ruger and know that Savage is typically accurate but can also be picky. Seems like the vast majority of reviews on...

    Triple 7 powder???

    Does leave some crud in the barrel but it wipes off 10x easier than pyrodex. I've been shooting it since it came out. It has always been available when I needed it. I've probably used it on 9 or so successful deer hunts and two successful elk hunts. Good accuracy and velocity.

    .270 as an elk round

    I've killed 4 elk with my 6.8-06. One with core lokts, one with 150 gr. sst, and the others with a bonded bullet not sure maybe a speer variety. If I did my part it took one shot. If I messed up it took more than one shot. Never shot an elk with it and lost it. I would imagine the 130 grain...

    Barnes Triple Shock 130 grain for elk?

    I shoot the 130 ttsx in my 270. Dropped an oryx with one shot, I'm sure it would drop an elk. Good luck.

    You draw one tag next year…

    Any elk, bull or cow but deep down in my heart I would almost prefer the cow. I would put less pressure on myself going after a cow, and more than likely have any easier chance at notching the tag and filling the freezer.

    Son needs a rifle for deer hunting

    Less recoil. My daughter is a little recoil shy and would be more comfortable shooting a gun with a little less kick. All kids are different though, it bothers some more than others. Used .223 Rem. for deer and pronghorn she likes shooting that. Within it's limitations that little .223 does...

    Son needs a rifle for deer hunting

    They grow up fast. Get a rifle with an adjustable stock ie Savage, CVA, Weatherby. I got the first a 7mm-08. I'll get the second a .243.

    .44 mag ammo for deer

    Hornady XTP. I've used these In a sabot out of a muzzleloader with great results on deer. For your situation I would bet a 240 grain XTP would be perfect. But any XTP between 180 and 300 grains will have no problem killing a deer. Pick the one that shoots most accurate.

    Touch base with your military vets that served in the Sandbox.

    So true...Some things are too big for any one person or group of people to fix, but many good things come from the battle, along with a lot of heartache. I have never served in the military but many in my family have. I am forever grateful for all the brave men and women who serve honorably so...

    Hornady Superformance 139 grain GMX 7mm-08

    Yeah seem likes a great round, also seems like my rifle doesn't like it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, that I'll find ammunition it likes. I would like to try 140 grain accubonds or find more of the 120 grain nosler ballistic tips.
