  1. After you rule out the scope and bases and rings; get some good bore cleaner (Copper out, Lead out) and follow the directions.

    My 7 Mag did similar (2 1/2 MOA). I use Buffalo bore, Copper Out and Lead out. Follow the directions and scrub it (get a NYLON brush) Scrub until you're 100% sure it's spotless. let it sit over night (barrel down) then repeat!

     

    I recently read that 98% of "shot out" barrels are fouling!

     

    PM if I can assist - I'm in Georgia.


  2.  

    168 Barnes with a max charge of IMR 4350 (my go to powder) - remington brass and Mag primers,

    Honest 3200 fps, and sub MOA at 300 (farthest I can stretch out on my place here in Georgia).

    Works at 334 yards, I can tell you that much for certain!

     

    If I can remember to hold where I want the bullet to strike!


  3. Campmor used to have a down bag for $99 - I've got one 20 degrees.

    Color is awful and the shoulders are too narrow for me.

     

    I'm looking for a WM Badger but they're like $700 new......

     

    Also, look real hard at quilts : https://enlightenedequipment.com

     

    I've got a Kelty 0 degree and a slumberjack 40 degree, but usually go with the campmor 20. You can always unzip if too warm and wear a base layer if REALLY cold.

     

    As stated, always go colder than you expect - you're in the elements and typically at a higher elevation.

  4. 6 acres will require a booster because of the length of the wire (underground electric fence) the newer ones are circular in that of the animal gets a certain distance from the center point, he gets a warning beep then a jolt. I had on on my property - worked great, dog learned to stay put, wire got cut and repaired and cut and repaired and burned, finally I said the heck with it!! Dog knows to stay on property.

     

    Absolutely NO IDEA why the font changed???

     

    Also, had a lab, beautiful dog - but the collar had ZERO effect on her - she didn't ground so no charge. Shock the HECK out of me when I touched her, but she'd lay on the trench where I'd just buried the wire and look at me and say "Thanks Dad...."


  5. For an education in recoil reduction and muzzle brakes, I suggest you contact Ron Barrett at Vais Brakes.

    A larger DIAMETER brake will be less effective (over size hole) a HEAVIER brake is more effective (more weight) but who wants to lug an extra 10 pounds on a light weight rifle?

     

    A properly tuned brake in 308 will reduce recoil; however the standard is a 30 caliber magnum (maybe a 30'06??) so the further up and down you move from the "standard" the less recoil reduction percentage wise. In other words, say a 50% reduction in a 30'06 180 gr full load will be maybe a 35% reduction in a 308 and 165 gr load.
