My pops has a 300 win mag. It's a badass gun, very heavy but doesn't kick to bad. My uncle use to have a 300 Browning A bolt that was light and kicked bad!

I have a couple .30 calibers, .308 and 30-06, wouldn't mind adding a .300 to that list.

 

Well, I have good news and bad news about my range time this weekend with the 300 win mag.

The good news: The gun shoots great. Excellent trigger. Manageable recoil for a magnum load. Cycles loads easily. No malfunctions from the gun or the ammo. We shot 180 grain soft nose federals.

The bad news: (which is kinda good news) Both of my scopes are crap. Both are old, used and probably abused. One used to be a decent Swift off an old sks and took a lot of shells to the body. (sks's eject up not out for those that are wondering) It won't hold any adjustments for more than two shots. The other one is a low end Bushnell that has poor eye relief and I never really liked it. So the good news is I am shopping for a new scope. I've already got one picked out just trying to find the right deal.

Once I get the new scope mounted I get to start all over again.

 

Good deal james!

Now that you mention it I still need to pick up a new scope for my .308....

 

So this kinda happened today.....


Smith and Wesson M&P 40...

 

James, that doesn't sound like too bad a deal to me.
I'm still waiting on some more trigger time with the last 9mm I got over a year ago.

 

My "Witness" in the Holster


Have run less than a box of ammo through it

 

Just wanting to say "Thank You" too all of our past and previous service people. And also to our Fire, Police and EMT's out there this Memorial Day Weekend"

 

I ran about 40 rounds threw the new gun today. Still need to pick up a few hollow points but wasn't gonna pay what they wanted for them. $45 for a box of 25 just seemed way To high... even with a 25% discount.

What kinda holster is that Bob? I need to pick one up for the new 40, I had a Versacarry for the .380 but don't want to go that route on this one.

 

Picked me up a box of 50 hollow points for $21 for the .40 today... I believe they will get the job done. .40 Beside a .380

 

The M&P is a nice piece. For personal defense hollow points I like gold dots.

Bob, the other day I saw a match style target witness completely decked out with barrel extension and big money scope. It was sweet.

Had a good range session with the new scope. Got on paper and started to close in with 180grn. Then fine tuned with 165grn. I'll hunt with 165grn. So far the gun shoots fantastic. Great trigger. No issues at all so far. And now with a proper scope nice groups.

 

I've seen different barrel kits for the same Witness that I have, that would make my 9mm a .22LR, and I think a .380, and now .22LR's are showing their faces again, it might be a fun semi auto to play with.

 

I prefer Hornady ammo, in just about everything. I use the Critical Duty +P rounds for my fullsize handguns (4" barrel or longer), harder bullet which has some barrier penetration capability, penetrates gel to about 14-15", and expands nice and reliably. For shorter than 4" barrels I like Critical Defense +P, softer bullet with less barrier capability, but increased reliability of expansion for the lower velocities. I'm a bit of a Hornady fanboy, but it's because of all the effort they pour into making their rounds and explaining what each round is specifically esigned to do.

If/When NCPPSB allows us to run duty rifles, I'll be running Hornady TAP Urban for my AR. Soft projectile for reliable expansion and minimal risk of over penetration.

 

That Hornady brand is too much for me.

 

When you need some ammo, let me know. I may or may not have some connections

 

Well on the "May" side of having connections. Yes I'd like to get stocked up better for my 9mm, and 45 auto
