Been watching the weather for Excelsior in the Free State too…same results. Were advised to bring waterproof footwear now too. Are enroute; flying out of Edmonton tomorrow at noon. Have a great trip!

I forget which Nosler Reloading Guide has the intro for the 338 Federal, where the author used it in an AR to stop a marauding grizzly bear, but he seemed to believe that it was the right platform for this potent round for such duty. I first became interested in the 308-338 when it was being...

I am planning on developing loads for my 280 Rem with both the 150 gr BT and AB. Loading up to 65K psi in my Rem 700 should produce 3000-3100 fps. We'll see what produces the most accurate loads; VN-560, Re-17, 19 or 16, H414, H4831 or the sc version.,

I had originally heard too that the Deep Curl was the same as the Fusion bullet...but have not been able to find conclusive evidence of this through my limited search online. I too really enjoy my 338 Federals! I have 3 boxes of the 338 Federal 200 gr Fusion ammo, but have yet to try it in...

I think I may have asked you once if it was a Tikka or a "Tiger"! ANyways, very pretty wood! And she shoots as good as she looks!

Thanks! Appreciate it!

Yes...the 6.5x55 started my affair with the 6.5 cal. I also have the 6.5 CM and PRC and am liking both. I have also owned the 260 Rem and 6.5x284 Norma, and also enjoyed playing with those cartridges. So many other good 6.5 cartridges out there to be experimented with! It's not surprising,as...

It has been a while since we've discussed favourite cartridges... So let's start a new conversation. What is your favourite metric cartridge? For me, it has to be the 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser. I have more trigger time behind this centerfire cartridge than any other. I also spent more time...

Would love to hear what loads you were trying in the 25 CM with the 128 gr ELD-X! Haven't found actual load data for this bullet yet, but am looking at trying VN555, H4350, Re-16, StaBall 6.5, and Superformance. Have you tried the any of the new Sierra 131 gr TGK yet?

Well, you came to the right place for enablement...so I'll give the assist! Just Do It! (y) No need to justify the logic...you want it, so go for it! Personally, I always liked the 20 ga over the 12 gauge, except for using a slug gun for bear watch work (which mine does sole duty for). I...

Brass and factory ammo can be difficult to find, but it does very well. The 215 gr SGK at 2750 fps will outperform a 210 gr Partition out of a338 WIn Mag from 300 yards and beyond. Despite starting out 100 fps slower and burning about 10 grains less powder to do so...oh, and did I mention less...

You'll like thee 280 Rem. When loaded to its full potential it delivers the goods! I like the compromise it offers between the 270 and 30-06.

First, any hunting bullet at 2600-2700 fps from a 308 Win that is accurately placed in the vitals will quickly and cleanly harvest game, including the smaller whitetails you are hunting at reasonable distances. Bullet placement is more important than bullet construction on this smaller big-game...

Yes, Susan was also surprised when Great White was scratched. Although she was concerned that such a large horse wouldn't quite have the time to get those long legs stretched out...

Correct me if I am wrong, but my understanding of a hollow point bullet was that when penetrating the target, material entered the cavity and the rapid pressure increase of this action initiated expansion of the tip (as opposed to smashing it in), and caused the petals of the tip to tear open...
