She hit a 200 lb pig at 230 yards, the 80 grain Barnes punched through both shoulders. He was dead right there. My 7 mags wouldn't kill it any more dead. She started off with reduced charges of H4895. Up to full power loads now. She was 11 in that pic.

I realize that a .243 will kill elk. My personal opinion is that it is to light for elk.However if I hunted whitetail,the .243 is what I would be using.
If God wanted you to walk and carry things on your back, He would not have invented stirrups and pack saddles

Yes, as much as theirs will bother you. They certainly bother me. I like the idea of recoil reduction but don't care for the side effects. I shot a suppressed 7mm-08 last year and was surprised at how much recoil reduction there was. If the Hearing Protection Act passes I'll be first in line for some suppressors.

Suppressors are the answer to a couple of problems. Hopefully, the law will be changed so we can all take advantage of them at a lower cost and without all the paperwork. The only downside is the added length and bulk.
What fresh Hell is this?

I recently bought a LAW professional in 30-06. It came with a muzzle break and a thread protector included. In my experiments with shooting this rifle with different factory ammo and alternating trips to the gun club, the rifle shoots consistently better groups with the muzzle break on. I am disappointed in this because I prefer to not use a muzzle break but accuracy is the name of the game.
Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.

Have some guns broken down on the kitchen table, "cleaning" them... But with that little gal, raised like that, those boys better watch out. She can shoot, may not need ole Dad... DF

You need to see some of the You Tube Videos that talk about Ruger's rifles that come with muzzle brakes. They ship them with a weighted sleeve that can be placed over the muzzle's threads if you remove the muzzle brake. This allows the rifle to shoot as accurately with the same ammo as it does w/o the brake. E

I hate muzzle brakes in general. But I do have one on my new, primary desert mulie rifle. Why ? Because experience has shown that I need a quick follow up shot. Between the semi auto action and the muzzle brake on my M1A Squad Scout, the rifle is far faster when comes to follow up shots than almost all of my other rifles. The only one that comes close is my Remington 760 in .257 Roberts. But that rifle is too slow and awkward to use from a sitting position with a shooting sling. E

Yes, they work quite well, but do warn immediate neighbors. Also, slip in some ear plugs if one has any structure about in the field. A few Christmas trees with in yards are enough to make ones head implode. (30-378).
