    6.5 Grendel

    ptg offers a 277-dasher reamer. don't know the details on this one, but i imagine it's a straight neck up with no fire forming. should be capable of driving 130s w/ a 10 twist or tighter. not certain how exotic you want to get. i have something similar and the recoil is light. norma offers the...

    .50 cal omega no excuses .451 sabots

    i'm not particularly recoil sensitive. i just don't like the loads that will part your brow if you forget your scope's turned up (fixed eye relief is a good thing). my 12 ga has bitten me a couple times during spring turkey and i have matching pair of crescent shaped scars to prove it. and two...

    TC Hawken 1-48 twist and 240grn PA conicals

    these are accurate in my t/c 66 twist 31" pa hunter rifles and 21" carbine. my hunting load is 90gr goex ffg. 80gr goex ffg provides slightly tighter groups @50yds in my rifles. i've taken a number of deer using pa conicals during the late flintlock season, most have dropped in their tracks.

    .50 cal omega no excuses .451 sabots

    last year wasn't too bad. finally drew an elk tag- been putting in from the start. she was a 13 yr old cow.

    .50 cal omega no excuses .451 sabots

    i received a reply. as you say, they should stabilize fine. the length of these bullets is 1.07". 120 grains of blackhorn? ha. i was thinking something in the 80-90 gr goex ffg would be sufficient? maybe 80 gr bh209? we don't have polar bears in pa. i arrowed my buck this year the monday...

    .50 cal omega no excuses .451 sabots

    length is definitely a factor. the bullet length isn't listed and i don't know the muzzle velocity. using some estimation, i suspect 1:28 is sufficient up to ~1.1" length for a .451 diameter lead bullet . just figured there'd be a consensus. just sent the owner an email to ask his opinion.

    .50 cal omega no excuses .451 sabots

    just want to make sure the 50 cal 1:28 twist will spin a 400 grain .451 saboted bullet fast enough to stabilize it down range @ ~1000-1800 ft elevation. if it's marginally stable, maybe i should stay below 350 gr.

    .50 cal omega no excuses .451 sabots

    will the .50 cal t/c omega rifle stabilize the no excuses 400 grain .451 flat base and boat tail sabots out to 150 yds? the odds that i'll take a shot beyond 100 yds are nil(more like 10-80 yds), but i'd like a little wiggle room. i don't want to get involved with removing the qla. if you...

    BroadHeads

    i've used spitfires, nap and satellite fixed 3 blade heads, meat seaker 3 blades, and a few others. i've taken a quite a few w/ the spitfire and meatseeker heads. i currently shoot a 60# w/ 410gr arrows (a bit light)...i now use 100 gr 1 1/8" steelheads (great expandable head- stocked up on...

    Encore 357 Max barrel

    yeah, i'm finally getting comfortable enough to just leave the rifle at home too. i tend to hunt them like it's archery season, regardless of the time of year. my only real concern is when black bear season overlaps with whitetail firearms season. bear and those damn grouse are the two things...

    Encore 357 Max barrel

    and yes you can run 357 magnum if you choose- and seat bullets extremely long in the case in a pinch. but now that there's brass available, there's no real reason to do so.

    Encore 357 Max barrel

    i have a 10" mgm encore barrel on my encore. the one i have is a heavy factory taper. if i had it to do again, at this length, i would go with a straight bull barrel. i'm running a 170 gr hawk HP w/ .0125 thin jacket seated long w/ 22.5 gr h110. this combo hits like the hammer of thor! h110/win...
