    Freebore, COAL, and chambering specs a miss!

    Comparators and a mic are the easiest. Can be done with scotch tape as well, on the base of the brass.

    How is the headspace on unfired vs fired brass in that chamber?

    Federal fusion- the king of the budget friendly deer bullets?

    you’re shooting deer sub 100 yards with a .30-06…I wouldn’t be afraid of any factory ammo. The fusions will work just fine.

    Rimfire Scope for Henry Lever - range and squirrel woods.

    I used to love fixed 4x on rimfires. I bought my kid a CZ Scout, stuck a 4x on it for him. Dang thing is so handy, I carried it a few times this year in squirrel season. For my eyes, I really missed the extra Xs I’m used to. I seemed to have a bit more trouble with headshots vs my normal 6xs...

    Had the flu, so had to hunt the easiest stand I can get to: Where I’ll be first morning I can breathe again:

    Edit: wrong forum, sorry.

    I’ve used 6x36 Leupolds in my rimfire levers, worked well for my use. Picked up one of these and put on a CZ, seems good for the price. No complaints so far. I like at least 6x for squirrel hunting...

    270 WSM?

    If that rifle fits you well, and you like it, no reason at all it can’t be an “all around” rifle. Sound like you reload so the ammo issue doesn’t apply. I don’t think a “higher-end” rifle would do you any better, with regards to hunting scenarios. Being an east coaster myself, it’s easy to...

    Tikka T3x 7mm Rem Mag Build

    Hope it turns out great for you. What stock are you going with? I’m debating on doing something very similar and just putting my other stuff away for the kid to have.

    Help! Short chamber in 280AI ???????

    You should measure the CBTO first. If you don’t have the tools to do so, use a sharpie for each bullet you’re planning on using. Very easy/simple to do, then you won’t be guessing.

    ELD-M, ELD-X, TMK, Berger: Which reliably exits?

    I see more exits, and prefer on game performance of Lapua Scenars to all of those. I’ve used 105, 123, 139, 155 and 180. I’d say exits north of 90% of the time on whitetail. 3 155s and 1 180 have given me exits on elk.

    Stock wrap?

    You said you like shiny stocks? What’s your reason for wrapping? Last thing I would worry about is a Black bear catching sight of it, if that’s the concern. Edit: Apologies, didn’t see your post that you wanted to get rid of the gloss and wood look. I don’t guess I’ve ever heard of anyone...

    Seekins PH2

    I had one in 6.5 PRC that was a hammer. I could have easily used it for anything I’ll ever do. Stock would have worked for me as gen purpose, but that’s subjective. Guy at the range wanted it more than I did though, so it went down the road. Very nice rifles and if I was in need of...

    308 for elk / bullet choice

    Whatever suitable bullet you can get and put in the right place. Ballistic tips, interlocks, hot cores, Scenars, Barnes, ABs, Core locks…whatever. I think that’s all the .30 cals I’ve seen/been with on elk. Take your pic at those ranges. Most have been on the heavy side, but at that velocity...

    Ultralight Custom Bolt Builds

    Thanks. I guess I ought to put one on order because I don’t think anyone I’ll ever see one around here. I have a 700 .243 with about 2500 rounds down the factory barrel, still shooting fine but it’s a good excuse to rebuild. Was thinking Rem mag-ish or Bart 2b in a UC would work out about...

    125gr Nosler BT .308 deer bullet

    BTs are often overlooked now, but I've had and seen great results from them on whitetail. 6mm 95s, 7mm 120s and 150s, and 30 cal 165s have been exceptional for me. They don't get much love on the net anymore, because everyone has to have a half mile rifle, using .600+ BC bullets, even though...

    125gr Nosler BT .308 deer bullet

    You’ll have no issue on whitetails with that bullet. While I don’t have any personal experience, they know and hunt with 2 guys who do a ton of doe killing on farms use them inclusively and love them. You might see exits at that velocity, but ones I’ve seen them shoot didn’t. They both shoot...
