what is ya'lls suggestion for a quality lower cost ammo??? hunting round and target round

and what power scope would be best for hunting purposes???

thanks...

It sort of depends on where you'll be hunting.

I always preferred round nose bullets since I convinced myself that the are not as prone to deflection by brush. Since I am now too lazy to reload, I usually just buy Remington ammo when it goes on sale at ******'s.

Also.....since I rarely take long shots, a 3x-9x scope is usually what I use.

On my rifle that I pretend to take longer shots with I have a 4-12X scope.

But,,

No matter what ammo you use,,

They ALL will shoot differntly.So,pick an ammo and go to the range and site your gun in.

Don't site in with a particular ammo and then go hunting with a different brand...

wheel,

I use Swift polymer point boat tail bulletts and IMR 4350 powder and I DON"T crimp my shells when I make my rounds..

Hand-loading is definitely the best; and indeed I have some rifles that seem to require it.

Fortunately.........."Old Faithful" (30-06 Gamemaster) doesn't seem to mind factory loads.

Hand loading is a blast.I have 6 different rifles .I hand load for all of them.I have my 270 really dialed in.I load very hot loads for it and I can shoot 20 plus shots with 1 inch groups at 100 yarrds even after the barrell is hot...

The only one's I don't hand load for are my Mini 14 and AR.223 ammo is cheap and semi autos are'nt that accurrate,not like a bolt action..

I have a Remington 700 30-06,had it for a long time.Never had that happen..

My favorite rifles is my Howa 270 and my Ruger 7 mag,,

I love it...

Great gun.You can still high capacity clips. It is a lot of fun to shoot and as I said 223 ammo is cheap.

My AR15 is a staighter shooting gun ,it is very tempermental.

wheel,

Wheel............try this at the range.

Chamber a round and then engage the safety.

THEN.....slide the safety to a point "in between" safe and fire.

Pull the trigger (it should not fire but keep it pointed downrange)

THEN disengage the safety.

It MIGHT fire during this last step...........as is the failure mode as it was described to me.

I will..

WHEEL,

Keep watching CNBC.............They have a whole one hour special on that gun called "Remington Underfire", I think is the title. IT IS A KNOWN FACT that they fire when they aren't supposed to....on many occasions. People have tried to sue but always lose or settle out of court. The rifle designer even told the company about the problem and the solution to fix it was like .48 cents but they decided against the fix....hence many deaths.

It's been on rotation every couple of nights on CNBC in the evening/ like 8-11pm for the whole month of October. Watch for it and all will be explained................I'm not sure of the exact model number but watch the show and if you have one send it back to the factory for the fix if they will even do it?

11-12-10 edit update.......It is the model Remington 700 that the show is about.

...and you consider yourself a "gunnie". They're "magazines" dip wad. "Clips" are used in M-1s. But I wouldn't expect anything less from a cowboy loving midget. 😣

Oh, and since the gun was originally designed for 30 rounders, they are "standard" capacity, not "high" capacity. 10 round PC mags are not standard capacity, they're neutered. Don't use definitions that where created by the “antis“ to scare the sheeple.

Just messing with ya, Wheel. Cool that you hand load.

Remember,,

I drink so sometimes the particular nomenclature may be off a bit,but you know what I meant!!
