I agree with the 129 or 130 gr recommendation; whichever your rifle prefers. The higher BC and SD will allow for greater retained velocity and energy at longer distances for better penetration and expansion for enhanced on-game performance than the lighter weights. I have gone this route myself...

I would say load a 100 rounds of that load, practice enough to verify the drops out to your comfortable limit range of 400, and go hunting! 😎 That will still leave you some powder for more loads once this 100 count runs low. Hopefully by then we'll be seeing more Re-26 available!

Yes, a load as accurate as that is hard not to use! I know that I still want to try the TGKs, as I have been very happy with the accuracy and performance of the SGKs in various calibers and cartridges over the years. Yes, the ABLR can be difficult to get to shoot well in some rifles...this is...

I am looking forward to taking game with my 6.5 PRC this fall. (LH Browning X Bolt Hunter) While it will produce 0.762" groups at 100 yards with the Hornady 143 gr ELD-X ammunition, it is a little slow at 2837 fps from my 24" Wilson carbon fibre barrel, vs the 2960 fps that Hornady specs that...

Very nice! Hope to get one as nice when I go in May to the Limpopo region.

"BSTs?" = Ballistic SilverTip Wolfshead: the question was intended for 300WSM regarding his opening post.

So, how did those 308 150 gr BSTs shoot?

Score for the Win/Win! For Greg, FOTIS and the young huntress!

Yes, I am located along the eastern edge of the northern Rockies. Sounds like you have a good plan to trying to find them! Best of luck in your quest!

Welcome to the forum! As previously stated, he should be very happy with a M48 in 33 Nosler! (Sounds like he's a serious elk hunter?!?) And the fact that you are doing your best to get him this in time for this season's elk season should tell him volumes of your dedication to him and your...

We went on a scouting trip today. Found some fresh elk tracks, old moose tracks, saw a few snowshoe hares and some grouse (ruffie and some blues), 11 mountain goats and a quick glimpse of a big grizzly on the highway home this evening. Raised his head out of the tall grass along the highway and...

Where we live, porcupines are protected so there is no season here. (They are considered a survival food as they can be killed with a heavy rock or stick, and apparently one can eat their meat raw. Haven't tried this myself.) I have seen porcupines of all ages/sizes throughout the daytime, yet...

The BLR in 308 referenced in this post was a friend's dad's rifle. It shot well enough tp put those whitetail on the ground with one shot each at 80 and 40 yards...so minute of deer! My BLR in 358 will do groups as small as 1" at yards with its preferred load with the 220 gr Speer Hot Cor at...

I made it out to the range yesterday to sight in and try the new-to-me LH Browning All Weather in 308 Win, and dial in a couple of other rifles for their preferred ammo for this season. I mounted a Leupold VX-3 3.5-10x40 B&C Gunmetal Gray scope on it. It weighs 7 lbs 13 oz with a full magazine...

I have always leaned towards the 140 gr bullets in the 270 caliber (Win, WSM and Wby) as I hunt mountain sheep and goats, moose, caribou, and elk with them as, well as deer, so I like the little bit extra mass and sectional density for that edge in penetration for the larger animals. I do like...
