I'm not a good one to ask, I have 3 of each and shoot them all. Perhaps the better question to ask is if you buy a 338WM why would you need a 300 mag of any kind?

I too love that bullet in my 7x57 (A Ruger #1A). With IMR4831 I am able to get an easy 2750fps with good accuracy and the bullet Is certainly deadly on deer. Good luck with yours.

Welcome from the U.P.

I have not seen any of it but would just say that Mr. Burns has been both unfair and slanted many times. His documentary on baseball while enjoyable was also wrong about some things and the one he did on the Vietnam war was badly slanted, inaccurate and an insult to those of us who served there.

From your description of the problem it almost has to be a problem with the scope bases or the rings if they mount directly on the receiver. If the components are the same as the other rifle just take some good measurements from the other rifle and compare them to the same measurements taken...

That's a good question but I can't imagine that anything in that family of cartridges is easy to find so it's just my best guess. I have never had that problem because nothing in that category fits my budget.

I would say keep it simple, 375H&H, 416RM, 458WM, and 500NE. Those would be my choices if for no other reason than ammo and component availability.

They are selling in the U.S. for much more than that. It sounds like a great buy!

Absolutely disgusting!

There is no good reason why, A Winchester 71 or an 86 or a 95 can all be chambered for a suitable cartridge for DG. They are tough reliable time proven designs. Quick to cycle at the shoulder, generous magazine capacity and certainly accurate enough. They are almost exclusively an American...

I like your choice of scope size and mounting system! Medium height rings should be perfect.

To me Winchester and Ruger build the M70 and the Hawkeye on designs that while perhaps not "innovative" are time tested and reliable. I'll take that every time.

Handloads magazine did a test on magnum primers a few years ago and found that actually Winchester large rifle magnum primers were the hottest of the brands tested which included the Federal 215s. I have used them all and never had a problem with any of them but have tried to standardize my...

Filson makes some great belts. Also check with makers of good leather holsters such as Milt Sparks and Kramer, they also make some good ones.

The Lott and the few 450NE are the largest that I'm aware of that were factory built.

Mine in 416RM is nicely balanced and recoil does not seem much different from 375s (different makers) that I own.

What I like about his suggestion is that it provides you with a spare scope if you should need it. As to the mounts I have used the Talleys with complete satisfaction.

I suspect that it could be a Winchester custom shop rifle. Winchester should be able to tell you for sure.

I am more interested in how well it shoots at the ranges that I will be hunting at. In that context as long as my handloads are acceptably accurate it means nothing to me. I realize that for those who play the long range accuracy games it is important but for any hunting that I do its just not.

A whole bundle of the big bears have been taken by the good old 30'06 as has all of Africa's plains game so the 325wsm should certainly be lethal.

Even using the exact components listed in a good Manual always remember that that data is only the gospel in the firearm or test barrel that they were using in exactly the conditions that that it was tested in. There are many variables, just considering manufacturing tolerances that always exist...

There are many older Ruger M77s on sites like gun broker or guns international chambered for the 243. They are nicely stocked well balanced quality rifles that will last her lifetime and then some. They will cost a bit more than the new plastic wonders but are so much better value.

Just consider that what seems expensive today will look like a great deal in the future!

You might check out the Dogtra pathfinder system. It appears to be smaller than the Sport dog system that I use on my dogs. Places like Lion Country Supply carry multiple brands and could be a good source of information for something that fits your needs. I know people who have lost A dog in the...

My setters are also voice controlled but I also use a tracking E-collar because they are frequently too far for voice control or perhaps its a windy day and they can't hear me. I like knowing where they are and having the ability to communicate when they are out of earshot. They know that if the...

They not only don't have them but they are really expensive! Last summer I took one of mine out the shoot a few rounds just to check the sight in. When I got home I was wondering what that session had cost me. YIKES, at about $2 just for the bullet those will be the last partitions that I will...

I have 3 of them and load for them all, great cartridge. I like 250gr bullets and mine all prefer either IMR4350 , IMR4831 , or R22. One thing that I have discovered is that Nosler partitions and Hornady interlocks of the same weight will shoot to the same point and safely digest the same powder...

I use black plastic electrical tape on the muzzle when I'm hunting. It has no effect on the rifles performance and keeps everything from getting in the barrel. A couple of wraps around the barrel gives me a spare to apply if needed.

Yes I would insist on irons as a backup. Better to have them and not need them than to need them and not have them!

Black powder is available at Graf, no Goex but a good selection of 3 other brands. Price is reasonable too

Why would any responsible person follow those instructions, wait I'll answer that, they wouldn't without checking the firearm themselves.

Great buy at that price, unfortunately I already have more 338s than I need. Good luck with a quick sale.

Whoever dismissed the charges did justice a disservice. That being said I don't know exactly what the charges were but he was certainly guilty of negligence. He didn't personally check the revolver, he pointed it at her and lets not forget that this was a single action revolver which means that...

I think that you are drawing conclusions without knowing the facts. When I bought my powder and primers in bulk there were were no shortages of them. The primers cost an average of $28 per 1000 and the powder averaged less than that per pound. I plead not guilty to hoarding anything, just being...

Several years ago after one of these great shortages I decided that I would lay in enough components to hold me for a while. So far that is working as planned for me but I know that there are plenty of folks who got caught in this one. I particularly feel for newer hunters and shooters who can't...

That concept has been dead for a long time.

The only way that any reloading components will come down to reasonable levels is if there is a major change in the political leadership in the U.S. I hate to use the term leadership with regards to the current crop. I have seen this happen several times over the years and it has always...

Nice rifle, you did well!

The way I compare them is with bullets of similar sectional density the 7x57 does with 154-160gr bullets what the '06 does with 180gr bullets which is give or take a bit 2700fps. Its a reasonable step up but both great cartridges.

Check on ammoseek, they have several listings for 375Ruger loaded ammo. A couple of boxes will get you 40 Pieces of brass to work with. More expensive but in today's world perhaps your only choice. Good luck.

I do more looking on GunsInternational. Its a site where you can talk directly with the seller and many times offers below the asking price are accepted. Also they usually have more to choose from. I shop both but GI is my favorite.

Of the calibers that you mentioned the 375 seems to be both the most numerous and the most reasonably priced. I have seen a few lately that fit that category.

Pure marketing and nothing else. Another example is here in Michigan where crossbows are legal for deer most are sold with 3x9 scopes. That's for a 30-40 yard shot!

My favorite deer rifle is a #1 7x57 that I have owned for over 25 years. Short and very fast handling and deadly with Hornady 154gr interlocks.

The smell of o horse, A well loved wet dog, Hopes #9, JP4 exhaust, bacon and hot buckwheat pancakes on the griddle, the smell of Vietnamese fish sauce (stinks but tastes good and takes me back to 1966. Those are some that come to mind.

One thing to remember is that energy kills nothing so don't get hung up on it. Injury to vital tissue is what kills. Either of those cartridges with a decent bullet in the proper place will kill anything that walks with no problem. If the rifle is a good deal grab it and use it with confidence!

You have made a good choice in a 30'06 and as to a scope a Leupold is always a good choice. Most of my rifles wear Leupold and most are either 2x7s or 1 1/2x 5. Good optics, tough as nails and they look good too! Good hunting whatever your choice is!

With what's on your list a Hornady interlock or Speer hot core would work just fine. The choices that you mentioned are both superb bullets. Let your rifle make the choice.

Welcome from the UP.

Yep, I have also observed the same. Most of that programming is what I call wack em and stack em and pretty poor quality too. It just doesn't hold my interest.
