    Federal Trophy Copper Slug's causing damage to rifling?

    Federal Trophy Copper Slug's causing damage to rifling?

    A few weeks ago I was looking at a few different options out on the market for slug guns and became intrigued with the Trophy Coppers. I currently shoot 2 3/4" Remington Accutips out of my Savage 220 and so far have had good groups at 100 yds and have managed to kill 1 deer with them. I however...

    Federal Trophy Bonded Tip Fouling?

    Thanks guys! I figured it would take a very long time to eventually wear out a barrel, especially a moderate velocity cartridge such as the '06. I just got a little worried reading on other threads after the purchase, that nickel is harder than the steel used in barrels, harder than copper...

    Federal Trophy Bonded Tip Fouling?

    When Gander Mountain was going out of buisness, I located 6 or 7 boxes of 30-06 165gr Federal Premium Trophy Bonded Tip cartridges. So far I have not fired a single round of these cartridges being that where we live and hunt it is slug only for big game. I do however, I have a Winchester 670...

    CVA Wolf forend torque?

    Much appreciated everyone! I couldnt get the bolt completely firm without running the risk of bending the thin metal bracket attached to the barrel (hope I didnt already!), and decided to snug it up decent and have loctite applied.

    Scope tube ding/knick?

    Last nights shooting didnt go as great as I would've hoped. I shot the 20gr xtp's, 17gr tnt's, and the 17gr vmax's. The TNT's shot the best 5shot group of 2 1/2" at 100yds, followed by the vmax at 3 1/8", and lastly the xtp's at 3 1/2". I am very disappointed in these groups as I can shoot my...

    Action Torque Specs?

    Hi there, recently I have purchased a Wheeler engineering kit that has come with their FAT wrench and have gotten to thinking about properly tightening down the action screws on our rifles. I have read multiple forums that all state different torque ratings. If anyone can help with any of the...

    Ultimate Slam 2-7x33 vs Vx3i 2.5-8x36 on Savage 220f 20ga Slug Gun

    Thanks for the help guys! When I originally purchased the gun (3 years ago), the shop I bought it from mounted my Vortex crossfire II using standard weaver style mounts and im pretty sure offbrand, offset mounts. These mounts have to be what you would call xtra or xtra xtra high as they are...

    Ultimate Slam 2-7x33 vs Vx3i 2.5-8x36 on Savage 220f 20ga Slug Gun

    Hi there, I am in the market for a new scope to be placed on my savage 220. Currently, I have a Vortex Crossfire II 3-9x40 and while it is a decent scope it lacks the light transferability I am seeking at magnification settings above 5X or so in the really low light experienced hunting in cover...
