    South Carolina deer hunting? (1 posts)

    I will be moving to South Carolina in May due to Nursing School and would like info on how the deer hunting is there. From what I can gather on the internet it looks really good with long seasons and heavy bag limits. Can anyone give me more info and an idea of where to hunt???

    James : Parvo is a intestenal highly infectious virus from direct contact of other dogs , coyotes, foxes etc.  After a hospital stay for one the other one got it .  Had to self medicate, and lots of Gatorade if you can believe that.  Every 30 minutes force feed with a giant syringe of Fluids until they would start eating again. ...

    17 Remington (3 posts)

    Does anyone have any experience shooting and loading for the .17 Remington?  I am kicking around buying one and would like to know what to expect from it.  I have a few varmint rifles and have an itch to get a new one and something different.

      Animals for an African Safari (44 posts)

      I think James has gotten many of us curious about African safaris.I was wondering what animals all would most like to get on a 5 animal safari.All of us would of course say the big 5 but I think that is not happening for most.Being a southern redneck I would have to start with a warthog,that way I would bring the tusks back and tell all my friends ...

      Ron,

      You must have a skeet and trap club near by. It really is a lot of fun and doesn't take that long to get decent at it. Plus it turns you into a deadly shot at running game with open sights. We hunt deer up here with hounds quite a lot. A scope is a bad option on such hunts. My Marlin 30/30 with the Williams peep is the ticket. ...

I just won a Gunbroker auction for this Mark V deluxe 7mm Wby Mag!!! I don't even care about if it was a good deal or not(less than $1000). I am just happy to have a Weatherby again! I have dreamed of...

      Brief Primer Test In 340Wby & 358Win (14 posts)

      Today was an interesting day as I tried the Fed 215 and Rem 9 1/2M primers in my 340Wby using 250gr Accubond and 250gr Sierra SBT for velocity and accuracy while using IMR7828 and H4350.  Also Rem 9 1/2L and Fed 210 primers with TAC and AA2495BR in my 358Win.


      I decide to load below max a good bit to see how my 340Wby would      ...

        C.R.

        Have you used the Win large rifle magnum primers at all. I ask because they are the only ones I was able to get so I bought 700 of them. They have produced great results in both my 7mmwby and 257Wby. I know the powder capacity of a 340 is much higher, just curious.

        James.

        New To Weatherby (15 posts)

        Hello All

        I am new to Weatherby rifles although I have known about them for many years & I have decided to purchase my first rifle in the next few months. The LazerMark & Deluxe rifle line is what I am interested in. I hunt deer for the most part & I was thinking of the .300 or .270 Weatherby caliber. I currently own Sako rif...

          About best deer caliber: This conversation is what campfires, coffee and long, moonlit nights are for. hahaha

          If deer is your prey, anything above 7-08mm will be fine.  I would go either .270 WSM or .308. They don't kick hard, and factory ammo is plentiful, as well as inexpensive NIB.  Every one here will have a slightly ...

            vanguard trigger adjustment (7 posts)

            I have a vanguard in .308 that I am wanting to adjust the trigger a little bit. Can anyone give me a little advice on how to go about doing that. Any help would be greatly appreciated and I am going to change stocks you guys got any suggestions. I was thinking a Bell and Carlson medalist or if anyone has a stock off of a sub moa, I heard that they ...

              Service center or buy a Timney. Weatherby has a disclamier on trigger adjsutments. Stock info - B&C has some awsome stocks. The Sub-Moa stock is their's. But it has a wide hand grip and does not have a full pillar bedding system. I like the Hogue stocks as replacement. A step further is the Blackhawk Knoxx full pillar bed with the shock ab...

                What can a .300 WBY do that a .300 Win Mag can't? (57 posts)

                As some of you know, I recently bought a Weatherby Vanguard chambered in .300 Win Mag. After making that purchase I have been reading the forums and found that the .300 WBY has sort of a "Cult" following and I was wondering why the same feelings for the WBY cartridge, are not the same for the Win Mag. I feel sort of out of place here on t...

                I bought 1000, 1500, and 2000 at Napa Auto parts. I wanted 2500 and 3000, but they either don't carry it or they were out. I seriously want this to be smooth! It is working too... LOL
