I do not think the 360 buckhammer will last through time. However for the ranges that DR’s typically are useful, it’s factory ballistics of a 180gr at 2400fps or better yet, a 200gr at 2200fps would be perfect. It is a straight wall case larger than 35 caliber so it would work in certain...

So, hear me out…. I would love a double rifle but for my hunting currently considering price they’re out of the question. However I have thought that the 360 Buckhammer from Remington would be a great extra small framed double rifle cartridge. You can use 0.355” bullets for practice it’s a...

If you were hand loading or somewhere with greater access I may suggest a different load but for the animals you suggest I would pick the norma oryx 285/6 gr. I have seen too many stories of Nosler 250gr accubond not meeting box velocity by quite a large amount. I have some oryx loaded but...

I have only killed whitetail deer with my 280AI. Last year I used a 22” 1:9” twist 280AI with 162ELDX on a small doe at 64 yds and a large buck that weighed 178 pounds dressed without the legs and head at less than 30 yds. Both had exit wounds and died in short order. I always shoot into or...

Gosh I hope that doesn’t happen. Did they negotiate a refund?

Hello, I am hunting with Alfonso in late November this year. Can you tell me about the weather, physicality, gear you wished you had or were thankful you had in advance? I’m most concerned about boots and temperatures. I’m going for Gredos and Mouflon. Thanks in advance

The original picture was a different day hunting. I used that rifle on everything except turkeys.

I will use almost any rifle on a groundhog. This was a 100 yd shoot to test the expansion of the then new 258gr Hammer Hunter bullet that I had Steve and Brian design.

Zastava left hand. I’ve taken it to Africa for a plains game safari. Beautiful wood for a “cheap” rifle

I bought some 145 LRX to try in my 280AI. I cleaned my barrel first but found a screaming and accurate load with RL23. I haven’t killed a deer yet but it goes through 7 jugs of water easily at 110yds and is accurate at 600 as well WBY backcountry guide 1-9” twist

Try 160 Accubond. The 160 ballistic tip could be the whitetail bullet. They have the same profile, so should shoot similarly

The bullet that the petals sheared off is the 258 hammer hunter. That is its design and it works wonderfully. I killed all of my plains game from my only trip to Africa with that bullet and was not left wanting.

Unfortunately the answer will be; it depends. If it will still hold a primer, I keep on using it. If it won’t, then it’s trash. I have a lot of brass that looks like this and keeps on trucking with lower (normal pressure) loads

The beauty of the 6.5 creedmoor is that most rifles shoot almost all bullets well. It also shoots them at a good velocity. Sure there are many that send the same bullet faster, but at what cost? 143ELDX 42.1gr RL16 2735fps 160 45-46gr superformance sierra/hornady 2630fps 130 sierra HPBT or TGK...
