Very nice, something to be proud of for sure. Great bragging rights for a long time, too. Congradulations on a job well done.

+1 on what OU812 said. In our circle, with deer the shooter keeps it, but generally shares a few steaks.

I have 2 270 WSM's that will shoot the same load. I find this comforting on a deer hunt, knowing that the rifles can be interchanged and not worry about getting the right load for the right gun. But the Rem. has a shorter chamber than the Savage, which can cause problems reloading, as Savage...

I used them this year in my 270 WSM (150 gr with 2975 mv.) to take a 4pt. mule deer with about 200 lb. body weight. The shot at 140 yds. was quartering away, entered just in front of the right ham and exited mid point of the far ribs. Nickel sized entry hole and 50 cent exit hole. Blood shot...

What's wrong is knowing where BLM land is, but not being able to get there because of being surrounded by private land with no access .

I usually go through Graf and Sons if I can't find them locally. $41.99 / 50 however, today they show temporally out of stock.

This sounds like the same primer issue I have on my Rem. 700 - only in 270 WSM - I took it back to the local Rem. shop for warranty and was told that a small amount of cratering on the primer is normal with the newer 700's. They have a slightly larger firing pin hole. Mine does it with any...

I'm happy with my ProChrono, but the remote screen on the shooting chronys is a nice option. I just used them side by side with no apparent difference in velocity readings.

TBASTAIN maybe I'll see you out in the woods. I drew the same tag. :wink: shoot straight

I have a Rem. and a Savage and the only load they will shoot well with 140 AB's is 64 gr. of RL22 this gives 3100 fps The 140 AB is my bullet of choice and so far anything I've shot with them (chucks, coyotes, blacktails, and mulies) has been a pass through and DRT

I'm happy with mine, a Primos Ground Max / Predator, which is more of an economy model. ($150) it will set up or take down in less than a minute. :grin: I've had it two years and no signs of falling apart. The down side is the velcro windows are a little noisy to open, and the top leaks when...

For the deer/ elk calibers I use the MPB with 1 1/2 " above/below line of sight. The varmint calibers depend on terrain and critter. From 100 yd. zero to ???????

When I was shooting it, I would buy Remington brass in 7mm weatherby. Then it was once through the sizer die, trim and ready to go. The cases have smaller capacity and need reduced loads by a couple grains. Saved a lot of money though.
