Sierra made quite a run of 225 grain Pro Hunter bullets in .338 Caliber. I took a number of Elk with that bullet and was very impressed. I'm not sure whether Sierra continued their manufacture.

I live on the Central East Coast of Florida and believe it or not we got some excellent photographs of the Northern lights. Very rare phenomenon as they don't normally show up this far south.

Agree with you on Greece Fotis. I had a good friend who grew up in Greece and raved over the seafood. I was born and raised in Southern Connecticut on Long Island Sound and by the time I reached teenager status I was SCUBA diving and bringing Fish and lobster home on a weekly basis. Never had a...

I'm running a 2012 F150 4WD with a 5.0. I've spoken with a relative who has worked at the Ford plant for a good number of years and his comment was the 5.0 is the best motor that Ford has ever produced. It is also one of the oldest models and holds its own against all other production units...

Actually I've been using IMR 4350 in my 225 Partition and Prohunter loads. My velocity is just under 3000 and the load has taken a number of Elk. Accuracy is 1 1/2 inches at 200 yards.

Thank you for posting that comment. I tried Accubonds in my .338RUM and could not get them to shoot to the accuracy level I was looking for. The partition on the other hand did an excellent job both in the accuracy Department and the Elk Department.

I guess I'm going to be old School here and state one bullet, and that would be the partition. I've used them over a lot of years and they do exactlly what their supposed to do. I've pulled deer and Elk out of the woods many times with this bullet.

Whoops, maybe 30 years ago.

I own a Red Label in 20 gauge that's been my main snipe gun for many years. I turned it into a manual Safety firearm which has worked out well.

Agree completely Jim. My Doctor has forbidden me to scale the heights but my M700 in.338RUM 225 Grain either Partition or Pro Hunter would be first at hand.

First Deer was in 1962 in Maine. A Marlin Texan 336 wearing a 3X Weaver scope in .35 Caliber nailed a fat doe at roughly 60 yards.

Powder Valley just posted pictures of the damage and for all intents and purposes the destruction was total.

I tried Barnes when they first came out and the fouling was terrible. I've shot Sierra for many years and found fouling at a minimum. I've had very good luck with the old style bullets and am somewhat hesitant to get rid of what works.

With your .38 Super you're headspacing off the mouth. Enough crimp to straighten the mouth plus a bit extra to hold the bullet in place. A Lee factory crimp die would solve a lot of issues and hold the bullet in place real well.

I had just gotten my official detachment papers from the US Navy and was busy being married and co-raising two children. I worked for the Electrolux Vacum cleaner company as a quality control technician, didn't like my job and was busy contemplating becoming a Police officer, which, in the long...
