I won't use it in my muzzy at all. It shoots sabots, legal in ut.
Had to use brake cleaner to get it all out of the bore before it would start putting good groups with the sabots. Couldn't figure out why it would shoot the plain conical bullets well but not the sabots.
When I first got it it was...
Don't use bore butter with sabots. They make the bore to slick and the plastic won't grip the rifling. Took me quite a while to figure out why my gun was spraying bullets everywhere. Love bore butter fore everything else.
I have a problem with the way Utah handle's their cwmu program. I waited too long to purchase a general season elk tag because I did not draw any thing. No elk or cow,deer, pronghorn nothing okay my fault for waiting. But I used to be able to draw a deer tag every year then it was every other...
I would take the savage 99.
My dad always loaned me his savage 99 in .308 so I have a soft spot for them. And it's a little bit different and a little bit faster on the follow up shot.
Not to many people hunting with them here in Utah that I see. Good luck only hunted MI once for white tail...
Only took 1 cow elk with the federal fusion. It was the cheapest 270wsm ammo they had. That was 2007 or around their. Very effective in that instance. I think they call it fusion because it's a bonded bullet not cup and core. Could be wrong but I wouldn't worry about using it again and wish they...
The screw heads look to good. The guy that sold it I think replaced the screws but don't know for sure. They were all very easy to come out so I think he at least took it apart. After thinking about it I'm wondering if he did not put the patina on it. It just looks to even. He was a gunsmith...
Okay just picked it up and disassembled most of the receiver. It's a little worse than I was expecting. But that's how it goes sight unseen buying online. Probably paid to much but oh well. So here is some pics. Everything has a nice plum color to it the wood is dark and the bore looks like a...
Okay so Hunt Talk forum is supposed to be neutral from politics. How does nuclear war affect hunting. Maybe should have hold on to the gimmick zombie rounds?
It works . About 70% of the imr 4350 falls thru and 5% gets stuck in the screen but none of the H4831sc goes thru. I scooped out most of the H4831sc and had about 1/2 lb I screened out and left the rest alone. Mabey a few grains of mixed in 7 lbs. Don't seem to hurt my loads any but I'm not...
Good looking gun. Bought a x-bolt in maple and rose wood with a octagon barrel chambered in 30-06. The only thing I don't like is the machine pressed checkering and the removable mag. But they are sweet shooters and easy on the peeper's. Injoy it.
That all depends on what time has done to it. And what the skill used to restore. If everybody's hated gunsmith bubba gets a hold of it then yes I agree. But go look at some restorations done by reputable gun smiths. Absolutely stunning.
I think a lot of it is same with mine is just barrel heat. Two touching and the third out. And it depends on the loads as well one load will print three shots evenly in a horizontal string 3/8" apart. The other load will put 2 touching then the next two high and right about a 1 1/4" how or why...
