    7mm-08 bullets not grouping.

    Yeah they shot like crap in my 7mm-08 but but bought some in 6.5 Creedmoor and they shoot well in that. Different firearms like different ammo.

    7mm-08 bullets not grouping.

    The Fed Premium others have mentioned are good stuff to try. As you tried Hornady American Whitetail and they are a no go, I have had mixed results with them myself, I would try to pickup a couple of different boxes of stuff. In one of my 7mm-08 rifles I get great results with Hornady...

    .243 for my son

    While not in 243 Winchester (I have a Savage Axis 2 in that), I would rank what you listed in order of my preference as Tikka T3x, Ruger American, Winchester XPR and Mossberg Patriot. To be fair I don't have a Mossberg Patriot but have read enough mixed reviews. My better half has the Tikka in...

    I loved the original and even the remake with Adam Sandler was not to bad.

    Friends 284 Win Build

    I like the Boyd's stock I have used. Put two on on different Axis IIs and Spike Camp on a 243 and a Varmint Thumbhole on a 7mm-08. Another Spike Camp I have put on a Marlin XL7 30-06. Like another suggested get the pillar bedding done, I did and no issues at all. One thing I would...

    Impressed with monolithic bullet

    Not the dictionary! Honestly the best way to describe non-lead bullets is, well, non-lead. Many of the "mono" bullets are alloy construction which kind of kills the mono part of either monometal or monolithic, but I digest :p yes I meant that instead of digress...Family Guy reference. I have...

    Josh Jacobs was held for DUI but the tox report showed him under the limit. He simply fell asleep at the wheel. His accident was low speed and single vehicle. Young men given a good salary and set free in Vegas is usually a problem. This accident is just high profile, we have a person losing...

    Looks like Henry Ruggs III just threw his career away. Stupid is as stupid does in Las Vegas. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/32534609/las-vegas-raiders-wr-henry-ruggs-charged-dui-resulting-death

    RaiderRich's 2021 Comedy of Mishaps Nevada Rifle Mule Deer Hunt and New York Whitetail Hunt

    Only issue with the truck was a tire. PickUp was great for hitting the mountain roads. Needs a good cleaning now though :P

    RaiderRich's 2021 Comedy of Mishaps Nevada Rifle Mule Deer Hunt and New York Whitetail Hunt

    I thought about hunting there on the last weekend but decided to try some other more off the beaten path areas that also surround agricultural areas.

    RaiderRich's 2021 Comedy of Mishaps Nevada Rifle Mule Deer Hunt and New York Whitetail Hunt

    Day 7 October 30th. Last day hunting in NV. Work made me a little later in the morning getting out than I wanted and someone beat me to my morning spot. Scouted during the day and returned to the morning spot in the afternoon and had the area all to myself. A bit windy and deer were not...

    2021 Nevada Draw

    Didn't get out as much as I wanted...have a thread on it in live hunts section. Will update it for lessons learned and including yesterday's adventures.

    Bullet weight.

    I can't add much but agree if you want one bullet weight for both 140 is the way to go. @VikingsGuy mentioned the Hammer bullets, I am pretty certain once I find primers I will load 7mm-08 with the 134 Hammers. I figure with mono bullets a little less weight for more speed is win. Lead core I...

    RaiderRich's 2021 Comedy of Mishaps Nevada Rifle Mule Deer Hunt and New York Whitetail Hunt

    Day 6 October 16th. Had a coworker/friend join me on Saturday. I am always good to add extra eyes. We did a ton of scouting and glassing during the day in new areas in the unit that he was familiar with but I had not ventured to. We pretty much concluded that the migrating deer have not...

    I want to build a 7mm

    It might not have quite the punch you are looking for with 168s but 280 AI may be an option.

    Where should I be hitting paper at 100 yards.

    Blame it on the differences between the Metric and Imperial systems :p Late to the thread but a general rule of thumb is 3" high at 100 yards is a good start to setting maximum point blank range for any caliber. You still have to shoot at extended ranges to verify. Glad you found the issue...
