Dubyam I think that is a fairly widely held opinion about these types of bullets. I have always dropped back one or two 'sizes' when using TSX/TTSX. Gerry the reason the 200grain .338 E-tip does not interest me personally is because I have a load with the 210 grain TTSX that is one of the most...

Yup, that is ridiculous. I will just wait until it is readily available.

I am the same as you Gerry. Tried them in my .30-06. Not interested in the 200 grain .338 and they don't make them for anything else I shoot regularly. I have always been a fairly loyal Nosler customer but I do try other stuff as it comes along if it interests me and of course when they don't...

Hmmmm................ well I think we are all well aware of WHY they introduced the E-tip. Same reason Hornady came out with the GMX. With the 'unleaded' push in some places all bullet manufacturers needed to come out with something to compete with Barnes or lose their market share in those...

So is it just me and the fact that I do not have time to dwell on forums much for big chunks of the year or is there somewhat of a lack of info getting published on forums and elsewhere of hunters using E-tips? I see stuff just about anywhere you look on the old tried and true Partitions and...

Dr. Mike this is the case in most of rural Canada, at least I know this to be true in the 4 western provinces. South Africa is heading down the same path as Zimbabwe and several other countries before it. When Nelson Mandela passes all hell will break loose in short order. Zuma and his...

Heavy for caliber, moderate velocity = dependable performance and penetration.

Go for it. Here is a good one for you. On the last half dozen purchases my wife and I have made from Cabela's we checked first on the price to buy it from Cabela's Canada on-line and then from the US Cabela's mail order. Every time it has been substantially cheaper to buy from the US Cabelas's...

Fotis I also have the 230 grain Raptors in .375 and 130 grain Raptors that I am going to try in the old .30-06. Plan on using the .375 on a moose and the .30-06 for deer, so will advise how it pans out on the reloading and in the field. This spring I am going to use the 275 grain NonCon's in my...

Yes I have heard good things about the NonCon's and plan to try one in the next month or so on a bear hunt. I won't have time to play with the Raptors until August when I get out of the bush, but plan to use them in the fall for deer and moose. Will see how it goes.

I just got some of their NonCon and Raptor bullets to try.

35 Whelen has a lot of background with this sort of thing in Alaska and really has said what is true. Certain cartridges keep cropping up for a reason when it comes to guide rifles here in North America. You cannot compare NE British Columbia with many other places in North America. It is also...

Well I guided in BC for a lot of years, and the Yukon, NWT and Alberta and the big thing that many forget about these areas and in particular that NE part of BC is the enormous diversity of game you can be guiding for. While the Marlin guide gun is a good piece of equipment and suitable for some...

I am far from an expert on the 1911's. To date I have shot about half a dozen different makes/models. From my limited perspective I have to agree with JD338, for what it's worth my first pick would be the Kimber, followed by Springfield.

Good luck on your hunt. The lack of snow in that area this winter should make getting around a little easier. Looking forward to seeing some pictures of the Peace country and a dead elk. Have not hunted in that area for a few years.

That is a super little rifle for her to start hunting with! Isn't it nice that this sort of thing is available now for getting young people and wives of small stature into shooting and hunting? I remember all those years ago when I bought my first big game rifle. I was 9 years old and had shot...

I will mark that down. Have not been to that show in 5 or 6 years. Always something else going on or a March storm. :grin:

Sask Boy I am right next door to you....... to the east. We go shopping in Yorkton quite often as it is just as close to us as Brandon. Working on some loads, so I will be setting some targets up in the backyard in the not too distant future.

Elkman what the hell good is life without horses, motorcycles, quads, chainsaws, boats............. ?? I noticed you left women and finely aged spirits off the list. :wink: Good luck with the knee Dragger. I have more than my fair share of calcium deposits, plates and pins thanks to our...

The GS Custom are very good bullets. I have used them in .375 before but they are not all the easy to get here in Canada. Lots of good advice here. You can't really go wrong with any of the obvious choices such as the expanding and solid offerings from Nosler, Barnes and Woodleigh. You should...
