    10lb rifle for elk hunting

    I have a HOWA 1500 280AI in a Stocky's carbon stock. It is a nice setup, but not adjustable. I have neck and shoulder issues and need all the adjustability I can get. I ordered a chassis system for it. The current weight with scope is 8.5lbs. The change in stock will add an additional 2...

    Help me out on a Ruger American Gen2 Build

    I always try and get the military discount. Thanks! I just reached out to MDT for a discount code. I am leaning toward another field stock based on all of the input. I love the one I have. It may weigh a little more, but will be good for my application. I still want to pull it from the...

    I am flexible on weight. Just as light as possible.

    Help me out on a Ruger American Gen2 Build

    I am signed up. They never seem to have the scope I am looking for, although I have bought a couple.

    Help me out on a Ruger American Gen2 Build

    Alright, let's shoot for 9 lbs. Remember, that the American 2 is spiral fluted. It is quite a bit less weight than the Gen 1.

    Help me out on a Ruger American Gen2 Build

    So, I was not planning on getting another rifle, but the PX had a 20% off sale going on and had a Ruger American Gen2 Predator in 308 Win. I got it for $400, no tax. I just could not pass it up. I am wanting to do a chassis hunting rig. Trying to keep it fairly light, maybe 8 lbs with scope...

    7mm-08 140 TGK COAL?

    Not really finicky, just fine tuning. Fairly common practice.

    7mm-08 140 TGK COAL?

    I have actually tightened up groups with seating depth changes. I have a rifle that likes a little more jump and gained me a good little bit in accuracy.

    7mm-08 140 TGK COAL?

    I will be measuring the chamber with the TGKs to see how much jump I have, I usually shoot a ladder test for velocity and then do group testing on any flat spots. If the groups are off the chart bad, I just dismiss. If they are decent, but not what I want them to be, I will work with seating...

    Great info. Thanks!

    7mm-08 140 TGK COAL?

    There are worse drugs, but it can be an expensive one. However, if another ammo shortage hits, I am truly not concerned at all. I am sure you aren't either.

    7mm-08 140 TGK COAL?

    I have about 8 lbs of Varget, haha. I am going through ladder testing with different powders right now. Big Game has been very good as well. I have that chart and will take a look. I appreciate the guidance. Been reloading for a few years, but sometimes the obvious slips through my learning.

    7mm-08 140 TGK COAL?

    Copy that. Great idea. Waiting on the bullets to get here. I have the comparator, so it will be easy. Got a smoking deal on clearance at Midway. Not sure why, but a box of 500 @ $.18 a bullet. Planning on running it with RL-15 as that seems be getting good results for a lot of folks.

    7mm-08 140 TGK COAL?

    If anyone is shooting the 140 TGK from their 7MM-08, can you provide your COAL or a reference for suggested COAL? The Sierra app does not list it. Thanks.

    HOWA questions here

    My 3 months turned into 9 months and contacting the VP of Legacy. I had a 270 doing the same. It took them over 3 months just to shoot and confirm. Then they did not have the same rifle in stock. I had to stay on them. When I finally reached out to the VP, he got involved and they ended up...
