      original 193 load perfomance out of a 1 in 12 twist

      I am speakin' about the terminal performance of the slug...,193 bullets are too stable on impact out of a 1/12 twist...I need a slug that acts like the 193 from a 1/14;but out of a 1/12.I have read that a 12 will not stablize a 69 grn. enough,and a 62 grn. is JUST TOO stable to act like a 193...

      Duplicate terminal performance

      I have a .223 with a 1-12 twist,and I want to duplicate the terminal performance of the original 55 grn./1-14 design load for the AR15/m16. Is there a bullet on the market that will let me do this ?...( 22" bbl.),maybe a factory load to use as a control for handloads? THANX:cool:

      .45 A.C.P. and hogs

      My patch is way too thick to use my .308 plus I want something for CCW,can't afford to pay money at this time,so I am thinkin' to trade my German made .308 for a good .45 auto.A 50foot shot is A L O N G shot where I pursue porky....is the A.C.P. up to it ya think :confused:? THANKS for input

      Which rifle?

      as good as the .243 is..., the 25-06 is light years ahead as a deer cartridge.And with todays premium bullets,it stands right next to the .270 up to and includin' elk....out to 400 yrd.s,then the .270 takes over.Just the observations of this relocated Montana man.If I were to choose one for...

      Duck huntin'

      New Artilce - IS THERE REALLY A PRATICAL ADVANTAGE?

      Have shot '06,.308 and .300s...what I do with the .300 is load heavys for the same ranges as the first two...for way bigger game than deer.Grew up shootin' .303 Brit. and out to 400 with 150's,no more power is needed for deer(not elk/moose)but huntin' is for fun and games anyway,so shoot what ya...

      Would like to start hunting

      yes you can,but some places have mag.capacity restrictions.I am kinda in the same boat about goin' huntin'...,been a shooter all my life,but time to go huntin' for a driver has always been fleeting. Now i'm retired and have no money but LOTS of time !!!

      New Ruger Gunsite Scout .308
