Day 6 had us packing up our camp again,and trying to prepare ourselves for a 16 ish hour drive back to WV. Google Maps claimed it was only about 14hr and 30 some odd minutes,but by the time you stop for gas, food, and piss breaks, that drivetime figure from Google goes out the window. Anyways...

Day 5 was originally our departure dayand we had only reserved the campsite at Dolly Copp for 4 nights. Wewere having such a good time and the fishing was so good, we alldecided we needed to stay 1 more day. To accomplish this, we had tomove our camp to a vacant campsite. It was surprisingly...

Day 4, was the day we had set aside todrive into Maine. We woke up at camp that morning and our campneighbors had packed up and left. We went to see if they had leftany firewood, and while we didn't find any leftover wood, we did find"Fairy Land". I guess you never know what type of...

Day 3 we headed for a differentdrainage, a different set of tributaries and streams. We foundsimilar action and results as the day before, but this time weweren't hiking into the back of beyond. We accessed some more easilyreached sections of a river that flowed beside and away from ahighway...

Day 2 found us hiking into a wildernesssection on a trail that I had ear marked on the Delorme and it wasrumored to have a pretty good population of brookies. It didn'tdisappoint. From the first hole we fished until the last we wereinto brookies. I honestly dont know how many were caught...

Later that evening, we headed back tocamp, and picked a stream close to camp and fought with the wind thatplagued us most of the day. It was nice to be back in lowerelevations and higher temperatures. We stopped beside the roadsidesign to add to our trip picture file. We usually try to take...

Im super late in posting thesepictures, things got busy late in the summer and then next thing Iknew it was hunting season. Nevertheless, here it is. A littlebackground first though. I've always wanted to catch a brooktrout in all the east coast states where they are native. I'vealways...

The second week of season was here, and my wife, daughter, went back to school and work, and my son didn't have any time off this week either. It was just my dad and I hunting this week. I spent Monday cruising the creek bottoms looking for a buck, and I passed 3 does as they fed by me at...

I've been off work since Nov 21st and took both weeks of WV Buck Firearms season off to hunt, be with family, and just simply not work. I enjoy bow hunting but its the time spent with family that I really enjoy rifle hunting. Opening day in Monroe / Summers county started off with a cold...

Your loading those in the 8mm Rem Mag you just got right ? You are onto a great load by the looks of it and I wouldn't expect anything any less from you Fotis. You'll be good for anything you encounter.

And a cheaper price

You know I don't think he tried that, and honestly I hadn't thought to mention to him to look at the magazine / bolt stop. I will mention that to him.

My fault. I thought all of the Weatherby 307s came with the AICS style mags. After reading your post, it's entirely possible that the 307 your looking at would have s longer mag box length. Id be willing to bet that if you called Weatherby someone could answer that question and possibly even...

I have a friend who has the Weatherby 307 in a 308win. He loves everything about the rifle but he's finding out that the mag box is the limiting factor and he can't even chase the lands and as a result he's leaving some accuracy on the table. Id assume that the same rifle in 280AckImp would...

RL 19 / RL 23 / IMR 7828ssc / IMR 4831 / Win StaBall 6.5 and H-1000 are also some powders that have performed well in both 280AI I have owned and loaded for. I agree with JD338, that of the ones you mentioned, id start with the H4831sc. In my rifle the 165 TGK shot its best with IMR 7828ssc...
