Sounds like you've worked out a good load! I know I just picked up 4 boxes of 150 gr BTs for my 280 Rem at a great price a couple of days ago that I hope to find a great load with.

It's another Benchmark 5R barrel.

Nice! Have longed for a M88 in 358 Win for many years! (30+) What is your load with the 225 gr AccuBond? Performance?

Great friend! Wouldn't it be nice to still pay $6.45/box!?!? My load is 50.0 gr of W748in WW cases using WLR primers.

Lots of love for the 35 Whelen here! And there are a number of threads here to review discussing the 35 Whelen, whether it be about the rifles, the cartridge, the ammunition, and/or the handloads for it. While I do not own one, I have used a friend's to take a cow elk. I am a fan of the 35 cal...

Nice shooting! Best of luck on your adventure! I look forward to hearing of it, and seeing your photos! We hope to get to the range for a little trigger practice before our trip, as our range has been inaccessible due to snow and ice for a while. We will be flying out of Edmonton on May 10th...

Because I am left eye dominant, and shoot left handed.

I bought the Delta Point Pro to mount on my Rem 870 Tactical when I had it. Once I got my LH 870 Slug Gun, I sold the RH Tactical. The older Slug Gun is not drilled and tapped, and I was advised by the gunsmith not to do so to mount the red dot. So it just wears its original rifle sights. Still...

I see that Sierra has announced a 131 gr Tipped Game King (TGK) that will be out this year. They have not yet listed its BC, but its SD will be 0.291. That will provide great penetration on larger big game such as our northern whitetails and mulies, and caribou with a quarter bore! Checked with...

Here's a link to an interesting article to review: https://www.outdoorlife.com/gear/best-shooting-rests/

Good looking rounds! Makes me think that Guy would name that "Blue Thunder" or the "Blue Hammer", or something similar!

I have been using a Browning Bull Bag for the front for about 30 years now. (Haven't seen these anywhere for many years.) Wish I had bought two! I also have a Caldwell Tackdriver one as back up for others (Susan, Lauryn, etc.) to use when we go to the range, but it isn't quite as nice, as the...

I have always had good results on big game (elk, moose, mule deer, and grizzly) with the 220 gr Hot Cor in my BLR 358 Win @ 2209 fps (20" barrel; shoots 1" groups at 100 yards). I do have some of the 180's to try in the 35 Rem, but have not done so yet.

Sounds like a rut crazed frenzy!

Always tough to say good-bye to those special friends. We can relate. Susan and I both lost some of our friends over the past 12 years. Our friends running in new pastures include: Dove (Morgan) Breezy (Morgan) Sir (Morgan) Tonkawa (Morgan) Indy (Fjord) Buck (Morgan)
