That is part of the fun for me, I really like working up loads for individual rifles and then picking what I want to hunt with that day. I like to shoot. Kinda like Church for me! Scotty

I have several .25/06s, 3 Rugers (1 M77, 1 M77MKII, 1 #1) and 1 Remington 700 ADL, all are walnut, but the #1 and MKII have exceptional wood. For the money, I don't think you can beat the Marlin, although you couldn't give me a Savage. With the Hawkeye you get free scope rings and if you buy before 12/31 you get a free Carhartt coat. That is worth an extra $120.

The 300 Win Mag is an excellent caliber as the 7MM Mag. I have both are depending on the bullet you chose to shoot both have long range bullet tradjectories. The 300 Win mag has much more recoil then the 7mm mag and would be felt more in a light rifle. The 300 Win mag has an edge at long distance but the 7mmMag is also a flat shooting rifle. My Son Glenn's one shot Elk kill in September with my Sako 7mm Mag at 297 yards with a 160 grain...

It might depend on the brass you have. I loaded them out for the .30-06 and have also done that for the 6.5x55, didn't have any trouble with neck tension but other brass may give a different result. Think I was using R-P brass for both. On the other hand, a few came out when I did the same with the .22-250. It has been loaded with a Lee Target Model loader and the necks were thin. Good luck......

ok if the rnd aint accurate i don t have the money to play with it.. was just thinking about it as ive never fooled with a super high velocity rnd..i guess if it ain t broke don t fix it .. thanks slim

If it works on 200+ lb. whitetails in Louisiana, it certainly should do the job on a muley. If it were a combo hunt for something bigger (elk, etc.), I would use the .30-06. Exactly! I would find another outfitter if one tried to tell me what to shoot. Last...

Thanks Big Dan and Tang. I'll try that. I've got to get some business cards from people anyway before there aren;t any businesses left in America, so I'll set a few aside just for that purpose. I'm guessing the cards will go crosswise under the barrel(?) I mean, not lengthwise in front of the lug, but crosswise, right? By the way, the barrel is "free floated" in that I can slide a dollar or any heavy paper all the...

Well, what can I say. I've been hunting for 29 years and I've killed almost 70 deer with many guns, with stick and string, with pistols, and with muzzloaders. I find getting close to the animal is what makes hunting hunting, and I always look to get as close as possible. My self imposed limit is 300-350 yds, but I've never killed anything further than 260 yds. I personally don't think anyone should be shooting at healthy...
