I just recently bought a 308 and found the Federal Fusion & Trophy Bonded both 165gr versions, to be the most accurate so far, printing 5-shot groups that a dime can cover at 100yds., next session I’ll see what they do at 200yds.
A new X-bolt is always a good idea, as for caliber, the choice is yours, I think either would serve you well, however, I have yet to see any ammo on the shelf for the 6.8 Western anywhere, at least in my area that is. I would also consider the 30-06 as a 3rd choice as well.
From my understanding, and I may be wrong, but the 6.5 PRC is essentially a modern, standardized version of the 6.5-284. From what I've seen there are several chamber versions of the 6.5-284 and no standard, when Hornady came out with the PRC it set a standard, and in certain aspects made a...
I live in NJ, so I use a shotgun for deer hunting only or shooting clay birds. A good bolt action will always catch my eye, and I start chomping at the bit when I can take one of mine on an out of state hunt.
2012 Ram 1500, almost to 200k, has gotten me across country multiple times, around town average 17mpg, once I hit the road on a trip, it averages 23mpg. Only complaint is the FM part of the radio doesn't work, but I listen to satellite radio or podcasts anyways. Hoping to get another 150k-200k...
EHD is quite the killer here in NJ. Probably the worst I've ever seen. The NJF&W has stated at least 60% of the deer population affected, numbers may be higher in some areas. During the archery season, only saw a few small doe, and this last week, the NJ 6-day firearms season was eerily quiet in...
Cabela's didn't join BPS, it was as close as a "hostile takeover" as a merger gets in the business world. Sad too, Cabela's had great CS and a reputation for quality products.
I’m hunting in Pike county and it was windy and cold, but worth it, 2 of us tagged out, I got a decent 8 & my friend got a really nice 9. Good luck to you all hunting PA .
I bring a pair of those disposable foam ear plugs with me hunting, there has been only a handful times over the years, where I had time to put them in before taking the shot.
Now a days, as someone else stated, whatever is available. But because I reload multiple calibers, I usually choose powders that I can reload multiple calibers, the IMR4350 & 4831, and the 'H' versions of both are one example.
I don't have a problem with hybrids or EV's, but I do have a problem with the lack of proper disposal of the toxic lithium battery packs. Go to most dealerships and you will find a pile of lithium battery packs, just sitting there. Part of the problem is there is no way to properly dispose of...
