Whats the best round for my Mossberg 800a .308 WIN rifle?

Bound's hubby here:\n\nThe best round for your rifle is one that you have to identify through trial and error. Not every cartridge/bullet shoots the same way in every rifle. \n\nIf you are going to use your rifle for deer sized game it would be recommended that you use 150 grain to 165 grain bullets. Get a box of each weight from a number of manufacturers (such as Remington, Winchester, and Federal). \n\nFire a number of targets for each load at your selected distance (such as 100 yards). The load that shoots the tightest 3 or 5 shot groups should be the best cartridge for your rifle. Then buy as many boxes of that cartridge/bullet/manufacturer/lot number that you can afford. \n\nGood luck.

Bound's hubby for here:\n\nYou did not mention if your beginner is looking at bicycle biathalon or ski biathalon, but I would suggest a lighter bolt action, clip fed rifle with micrometer target sights, such as the old Mossberg 340B. Regrettably, that little Mossberg has not been made in years ... in its place, I would suggest a Remington 504 or 504T ... which you would add metallic micrometer sights to. (See link below).\n\nAnschutz makes a biathalon rifle, but I would suspect it is a bit more expensive than the Remington, and the Remington is more versatile than an Anschutz specialty rifle! (see link).\n\nGood luck!

Hornady SST's.  They're unbelievably accurate with the ballistic tip out front.  \nI've done really well with Brenneke's too out of my rifled slug barrel, but nowhere near as good as the SST's.

Bound's hubby here:\n\nFirst, welcome to the club! You will enjoy high power rifle shooting!\n\nMost rifle competitors are not opposed to varmint rifles, we know their limitations, and because of those liitations, most varmint rifles are not suited to high power rifle competition. To better understand this, you need to be aware of the games.\n\nNRA High Power Rifle -\nCourse of fire:\n200 yards standing - 10 or 20 shots, 1 minute per shot.\n200 yards rapid fire - standing to sitting -1 or 2 10 shot strings, 50 seconds per string\n300 yards rapid fire - standing to prone - 1 or 2 10 shot strings, 60 seconds per string\n600 yards prone - 20 shots, 1 minute per shot\nTypes of rifles: Service Rifle (M1, M14/M1A, M16/AR15) or Match Rifle (Bolt action rifles, semi-autos, or service rifles beyond criteria for service rifles [i.e.: the "Space Gun"])\nSpecial criteria for bolt guns ... the ability to rapid reload with a 5 shot stripper clip.\nSights: Micrometer adjustable metallic sights only.\n\nNRA Long Range Rifle -\nCourse of fire:\nPalma Match\n800 yards - slowfire prone - 15 shots in 15 minutes, \n900 yards - slowfire prone - 15 shots in 15 minutes, \n1000 yards - slowfire prone - 15 shots in 22 minutes. \n(Above course of fire fired with micrometer adjustable metallic sights only - with Match Rifle or Service Rifle)\n\n1000 yards - slowfire prone - 20 shots in 30 minutes\n(Above course of fire fired with Service Rifle [iron sights only] or Match Rifle [iron sights AND any sights (scopes permitted)]\n\nWhy "Varmint" rifles are typically not used! \n1. Most varmint rifles of current production do not have their receivers "cut" to accept stripper clips, necessary for rapid fire stages of matches.\n2. Varmint rifles (of the .22 genre ... .222 Rem, .222 Rem Mag, .223 Rem) have rifling twists of 1 revolution in 12", which is too slow of a twist rate to stabilize heavier bullets necessary for longer ranges (to 600 yards or beyond)\n3. Varmint rifles capable of being used for Long Range matches are really limited to the .308, which can reach out safely to 1000 yards, all other varmint cartridges can not safely be kept at supersonic velocities out to 1000 yards, which is necessary to stabilize the bullets at 1000 yards.\n\nRifles better suited to NRA High Power and Long Range competitions:\nService Rifles\na) M1 Garand - most competitors started with the Garand. It can be purchased for between $300 (no wood) to $550 from the Civilian Marksmanship Program (see CMP link, below). Depending on whether you do it yourself, or you send it out, the Garand can be made competitive for between $600 to $1500 above the cost of the rifle.\nb) M1A [civilian version of the M14] can be purchased match ready, out of the box, for about $2100 from Springfield Armory (see SA link, below)\nc) AR15 or its variants, can be purchased match ready, out of the box, for about $1000 from Bushmaster or Armalite (see link for Armalite [AR], below). NOTE: the AR can safely be used to 600 yards, if you have a barrel twist of 1 in 7" or 1 in 8". The AR with the same barrel could be pushed for 1000 yard shooting, but NOT safely!\n\nMatch Rifles:\na) The AR15 based "Space Gun" can be purchased or built for between $800 and $1500 ... requires metallic micrometer adjustable sights. Complete rifles and components can be purchased from NUMEROUS suppliers and dealers. The space gun in .223 is NOT a safe consideration for 1000 yard shooting!\nb) Varmint Rifles from Remington, Winchester, or other suppliers in .308 Winchester or larger .30 chamberings. Base rifles can be purchased for about $700. All would require, at a minimum, the following modifications and/or upgrades:\n1) High comb "marksman"-style stock\n2) Micrometer adjustable metallic sights and bases\n3) High quality target scope with long range base\n4) Target grade/quality trigger\n[All of the above modifications could run $1000 to $2000, plus cost of

spider is a good one and 98 custom is very popular gun. i have one and i love it. the 98 custom u can change the size of the barrel and also make it look like a m4a1 aka colt carbine. the top of the line guns/markers r bob longs and angels. they have the best accuracy and firing speed but they will range from like $1000-1500+. and also u have a choice of wut gas to use. u have a choice between co2 (carbon dioxide) and also nitrogen. nitrogen imo shoots the paintball faster. u can also have a battery operated reloader. last i checked they were like 35-50. always remember to clean ur paintball gun after use so the 'dirt' from the paintballs doesnt get stuck in the chamber and not shoot.

Your best bet for trapshooting is usually going to be a 12ga. 2-3/4" shell w/ 1-1/8oz of number 7-1/2 or 8 shot.  This load with a improved choke tube will usually do just fine out to about thirty yards or so, depending upon your level of skill and level of comfort with the particular gun.  If you are going to be shooting longer distances, you may choose to use an modified choke tube, or go to a size 6 shot which should so just fine to forty plus yards.  You will have to play around with ammunition from various different manufactorers to determine, if your gun shoots better with a specific brand, or if you just like a brand in general.  Personally, I would reccommend looking at Winchester AA target loads, or Kent all purpose loads.  I have had the best luck with either of these two, but I will usually shoot anything that is of good quality and realatively cheap.  Once you have figured all of this out, have fun and be safe.

The Thompson Center Encore is pretty good.  We auctioned one off for a DU banquet.  It was 3 guns in one, ML, 25-06, and a 12 ga turkey gun.

Ihavea great anschutz mod.1451 that shoots great, but if you want something little cheaper check out CMP for a kimber mod. 82 it's a great gun and it's only $600. They also have other great quality rifles for good  prices.

I use a .243 myself.  It's light and there's not much recoil, but travels well and will put one down.

Your questions are like asking what is the prettiest color for an automobile!  Personally I would suggest you shoot various weights and loads to see which are the most pleasant to shoot and which provide the best accuracy.  Even for practice you might want to stay away from lead as it tends to create more cleaning problems over the long haul.  You can find excellent prices for ammo at Natchez Shooters Supplies(www.natchezss.com).  Don't forget to wear hearing and eye protection!

Smith and wesson designed it for the FBI about 10 years ago.Go to S%W website. It is basically a 10mm . I have a CCP and it is my favorite. 1 shot =1 kill.

The .270 Winchester is a stellar deer gun.  It will work on hogs also.  Remember neck/head shot only for hogs in excess of 400 lbs. and use the 150 grain bullet if you are specifically hunting hog; the heavier bullet will give you a penetration advantage.  Either 130 or 150 will work well on deer.\n\nIf you wanted the .308 Winchester (7.62x51 NATO) or even the old .30-06 you wouldn't go wrong.  Since you asked specifically about the .270, then yes, it is a good choice.  I have one myself.\n\nH

I have used a Berreta 20 ga field grade (modified/improved) since i was 13 and have won many winchesters shoots 100 straight....its not the gun its the shooter and how much skill he has

I prefer the 5,56 mm AR- M4SF , fits nice, great range, easy to clean. Hits harder than a paintball gun too. At 500 Meters it's not looking good for the "target".

U.S. Army M24 SWS is about the best in the world. Opinions differ but with 175gr, M118LR ammo I can consistently hit .50 MOA. \n\nhttp://www.snipercentral.com\n\nThe drugunov svd can barely shoot sub 2 MOA. I have collected 6 of them in Iraq and 5 more here in Afghanistan. I'm still typing 11 drugunov svd firers aren't.

I want something that has KICK!!  I love it when a revolver feels like it is going to jump out of your hand!  Try a 12 Gauge shotgun with 00 Buckshot or 3'' Magnum Turkey loads if you want more KICK!  Or how about a .300 Weatherbee Magnum without a muzzle-break?  If you want sustained kick, join the military and shoot an fully-auto!  (Or get a friend that is the armorer and see if he will let you shoot one! -It's been done before, but don't tell anyone I told you!)\n\nThough I sometime like the methodical, precision behind a smaller caliber rifle, like a .22 or a semi-auto SKS with 30 rounds clip.  Just lay down and pick of targets (inanimate ones) real simple like and hardly move.\n\nCool Question! Later.
