    270 Weatherby Magnum bullet selection

    both sound great, the 130 I assume is flatter, and less than 500yards, no real need for high BC bullets. I'd shoot at 200yds and compare groups...if still the same, maybe take it to 300yds and compare... both probably work perfectly well. I'm a bit of a TSX fan myself though, so I'd give that...

    GETTIN OLD.......

I'd stick with those rc exercises... don't overdo them, but after a while...

    .380 Trail Protection / Bear Load?

    Thanks for the all input! Survived the trip! ;):) Ended up in Colorado, and not Griz Country, but perhaps in the future... Great trip, had some bear spray, but wasn't worried where we were. Thinking I may end up with a .45acp over the 10mm in the future. Although why have 1, when you can have 2 :p

    Friend, she only has a 380, maybe bear spray would be wiser, or both.

    Looking for a suggestion if any of you out there know of a tough .380 load for the trail? Does anyone carry a 380 or 9mm on the trail? Thanks! *Side-note, hard cast lead bullets, what's the deal with those? max penetration? they seem as if they would blow up upon impact, but it seems those...

    6.5 PRC looks Awesome!

    always thinking about my next cartridge or what if... Anyone have any experience with the 6.5 PRC? How new is this cartridge? I know the 6.5 creed is already quite popular. Believe the 6.5 PRC is based on the ruger magnum / RCM case. I think I need one... Only saw 2 factory loads on...

    Rifle companies don't understand Physics? or is it all marketing?

    I see it time and time again... a rifle model will chamber the .243win and it'll sport a 22" barrel yet the 7mm-08/308 will come with a 24" barrel. ie., a .243win needs more barrel length than a .308 Maybe customers just expect a .243 with a 22"? or for kids? handiness? I dunno?

    New Mexico Antelope Tags 2019?

    It looks like this year every unit is separate vs. like years past... Does anyone know if you still will be placed on private land if you draw a rifle tag? or is it public only now? From what I have read it seems as if your tag is only good for public land only and you won't be placed on a...

    300 Blackout barrel length? 8.5 vs 10.5?
