Nothing wrong with the 130 gr AB, or the 130 gr Terminal Ascent bullet, and you would be able to get over 2800 fps in a 24" barrel with either. Look at H4350 or Hunter for these bullets. I would limit them to 300 yards on elk though...as you'll be not much over the recommended 1500 ft lbs of...

Put on some miles this week looking for a moose for my daughter. Checked out some areas that have been proven in the past...came home with quite a few more grouse...mostly ruffies, some spruce hens, a duskie and a sharptail. Of course, the two big bull moose we saw were at last light along the...

Looks like they would do extensive tissue damage on large game! Velocity?

Were the strays the same number in each group? (e.g.#3?)

Nosler lists Magnum as the most accurate powder tested for the 100 gr bullets in the 240 Wby; Max is 61.0 gr for 105% fill and 3253 fps out of a 24" barrel. IMR 7828 will get just a few fps more. Either powder should be easier to find.

A great idea and plan! Here in Canada, our Occupational Health & Safety (OHS) regulations require not just a fall protection plan, but also a fall rescue plan for in case you fall for each and every location when working above 3m above ground level, and must be rescued after the fall, because as...

I have shot a friend's 6mm Rem and liked it, and have kept an eye out for a LH Rem 788 should I ever cross paths with one, as I have heard good things about their accuracy in that platform...I do think that I prefer the 6mm to the 243 just because it is less common... But for the most part, I...

Mountain lion is good eating too! I hope to get one, one day!

Spent a couple of days hunting with my daughter. She got her first snowshoe hare yesterday with her 10/22, and my wife got her first sharptail yesterday with the 28 ga! We did see 5 caribou yesterday at long distance; 3 bulls a cow and a calf. We could not locate the bison yesterday. :( The day...

Both our New Zealand outfitter and our South African PH had the Toyota Hiluxes and were great little rigs for running around in. (Although we mostly hunted from the 1949 Willy's jeep on the main concession ins SA) I too have asked Toyota many times as to when they will offer the Tundra with a...

And your memorable year continues!

Velocity?

The 240 is the other Wby I have always been intrigued to try...the 270 being my favourite so far. There is a nice Rem 700 in 240 Wby for sale here in Canada that has been piquing my interest for a couple of weeks, but with the African trip in May looming, I have not pulled the trigger, so to...

Sorry, I'm a Dodge man...so cannot help you here... All I would say is check on the reviews, as I have read that the Chevy engine is one of the worst rated engines available in a pickup right now, as rated by the mechanics who work on them... I too have downgraded to a degree...no longer have...

As for the 7mm PRC, it is so close to the 7mm Rem Mag, which I really like and enjoyed owning and shooting over the years and do not currently have, that I had to play with one in a 24" barreled version when I could. So far, I am enjoying shooting this cartridge and rifle (a LH Fierce Carbon...
