Re: Scope for a 300BLK

If you want to stay cheap and functional the Bushnell banner 1x4.5 is a great scope for under 100 yard hunting. Simple reticle, big FOV and easy eye relief.

Re: Elk Hunting...

Love my 300 Blackout

Never shot an Elk

If I was going Elk hunting, which I intend to do at some point, I am grabbing my 338 win mag or my 45-70 and compressed loads before my 300.

To finish - I still love my 300

Description seems to indicate a thicker jacket for a match bullet like the Berger VLDs which are an outstanding match turned hunting bullet in other calibers. Any exper...

Sierra Matchkings 125gr

Anyone hunt deer with these? I reload 4 other calibers and would never would with those but the description seems to indicate a thicker jacket than the normal matchkings. If anyone has some load data and experience they would like to share beyond the recent Sierra recipe post on the website it would...

Re: Right2Bear Ammo?

Right to Bear makes good ammo but I think you may want an expanding bullet (the 150 JSP, 125 gr Nosler or 110 Barnes) instead of a varmit bullet that fragments.
