    Shane, Hmmm...If you didn't notice any difference, then you probably have to adjust sear engagement. Before you do that, however, you should take some #000 steel wool and polish every engagement surface on the trigger and sear assembly. Put the rifle together and try it again. If it's still...

    Shane, Ok, here's what you need to do. First of all, make sure the rifle is unloaded. You say your trigger is too heavy. That allen screw in the trigger compresses or relaxes the spring, thereby adjusting weight of pull. Put the rifle in a gun cradle or padded vise upside down, and turn the...

    Shane, The trigger on the original Ruger Model 77s is adjustable. The Mark IIs are not. You mentioned that your rifle is a pre-Mark II. If it has the tang safety, you can adjust the trigger. If it has the three position safety, you can't. (The first run (transitional) of Mark IIs had the...

    What equals good performance??

    Hydrostatic shock has been demonstrated time and again that it is not as consistent a factor in causing rapid death as is a large hole all or most of the way through. A study of police shootings over the last thirty years showed that in instances where perps were shot in the chest, those that...

    What equals good performance??

    Entrance and exit hole, please. Two holes means more blood loss, and more muscle/tissue damage. If a bullet cannot reliable exit an animal I'm shooting, I find a different bullet.

    What about premium bullets?

    For deer sized game and smaller, I like Hornady Spire Points, and good old Remington Cor-Lokts. The Cor-Lokts are the most accurate bullet in a couple of my rifles, so that is why I use them. They work fine on deer and pronghorn. For black bear, moose, and elk, I like Grand Slams or...

    Heaviest bullet?

    You may want to give the 75 grain Hornady BTHP bullets a try. They work great in my .220 Swift. They are the most accurate bullet I've tried for that particular rifle. [ April 02, 2001: Message edited by: Nodak Hunter ]

    What dies do you use?

    We have our fair share of pheasants in ND too. Although this winter was pretty tough on them. SD had more snow than we did this year, so I'm afraid their bird numbers will be down worse than ours. P-Dog hunting quality in both states has dropped considerably the last few years. Too many...

    What dies do you use?

    Hello, Don. Welcome aboard. This isn't the busiest site around, but it's quite civil, and the people here just like to talk hunting, shooting, and swap stories. The reloading and gun oriented posters seem to be especially well-behaved. Bench rester, eh? We need some more good technical...

    Nosler ballistic tips

    Missed, Anaconda, I agree with both your posts. I like bullets that can mash through bone if necessary. The kills with a Partition may not leave the spectacular exit hole that a BT may, but the critters are still dead. Just a matter of personal preference, but expressing our opinions and...

    Nosler ballistic tips

    Ballistic Tips are probably the most polarizing subject on the various shooting and hunting forums. I will relate my limited experience with them, and then we can go from there. My first big game rifle was a .308 Winchester Model 70, and my second was a Ruger Model 77 In .270. I liked the...

    What dies do you use?

    I started out with RCBS dies, now I buy exclusively Redding. I still use the RCBS ones I have, and they work fine, but the fit and finish on the Redding ones is simply better, and I prefer the way the decapping rod/expander ball is set up on the Reddings. I use the plain old full length...

    New RUGER 480 cal Pistol ?

    As far as I know, Ruger is only chambering the double action Super Redhawk in .480 Ruger caliber as of now. The cylinder on a Super Redhawk is larger in diameter than that of a Super Blackhawk, and Ruger evidently thinks it important to keep their revolvers six shooters. As for specific powder...

    Rifle Twist Rate/Bullet Stabilization Calculator

    I just found this site that will calculate a bullet's stability factor when fired out of a barrel. It's here: http://internet.cybermesa.com/~jbm/ballistics/drag/drag.html

    Hornady "Light Magnum" Test Results

    John, Here it is. There is a chart quite a ways down into the article that sums the whole thing up. I found it interesting to not what happened when the barrel length dropped below 30". http://www.riflebarrels.com/velocities.htm

    Best Supply House

    I always bounce around and check prices from the following: Midway, Natchez, Grafs, Wideners, Midsouth, and Excellence in Sporting Goods. All of these places are usually pretty close on price, but they all have sales and closeouts from time to time, so it's worth the effort.

    Hornady "Light Magnum" Test Results

    I'll stick with the handloads. (Like you knew I would) They're more accurate, less expensive, and, of course, I made them.

    Hornady "Light Magnum" Test Results

    We had a discussion last week about the Hornady light magnum loads, and I said that I planned on doing some testing of one. The two test rifles are a Win Mod 70, 22" barrel, and a Mauser 98 with a 24" barrel. The cartridge tested is the .308 Win caliber, 165 gr. BTSP, which is catalogued as...

    Gameking Bullets for Black Bear

    I personally prefer 180 grainers for black bears, but I think the 150's would be ok with careful shot placement. I would stay away from BT's for black bear. I've had one fail on me on whitetail, and so has my brother. It's true that a wounded blackie is not the same as a wounded grizzly, but...
