Back when I built my .257 Rob the fastest twist available was 1-in-8” and I got it. I see no downside to a faster twist whatsoever. I can still shoot my 75s at coyotes & whistlepigs, and now I can shoot 128s at elk & mule deer if I’d like to. Win/win

Sweet rifle Jim and good work doing your part to kill a doe with it!

Dr Vette that’s a cool idea thanks for passing this along I appreciate it I’ll check em out.

I bought a VX3i with a custom dial. Would anyone happen to have a generic CDS cap they’d sell me? Eventually I’ll get a custom dial but for now… Shoot me a PM, EFW

I got home from deer camp and had a box awaiting wit these bullets thank you so much it was very generous of you!

Ok the gent who I’m going with can’t make 26 work so it’ll now be (Lord willing) Wyoming mule deer in 26 and Wyoming elk in 27. I’m hoping I can mule deer hunt a unit that we could draw elk in 27 so it can serve as a elk scouting trip. That’ll also allow me to get another rifle… prolly 7RM or...

Thanks Jim we def need to meet up it’s been too long! Is the 140 NAB soft enough to open at Swede velocities out to 400 yds? I didn’t know if it was constructed with the WM or other fast 6.5s in mind? Anyone have experience with the Swede on elk sized game?

Been on a hunting and shooting hiatus for years as I cared for an ailing mother in law and in the process became obsessed with fishing. Missed you guys while I’ve been gone; hit my component guy’s place today and just about shat myself when I saw the prices!!!! I haven’t even thought about...

I used the 168 HPBT Horn as my “blasting equivalent” to the Nosler Ballistic Tip of the same weight and flung em with identical components out to about 400 w/o a difference large enough to notice in hunting conditions.

Nice buck that’s a beauty!

Max load of Big Game, mag primer, 120 NBT in my buddy’s Savage.

Either that guy is a midget or that’s a monster bull. Awesome man dang that’d be some kind of cool adventure!

What an amazing adventure congratulations and thanks for the post!

Yep there’s a lot paid upon wolves & coyotes but I don’t think that black bears get their due when it comes to fawn predation. That’s a crazy pic. New Jersey cat ladies can’t quite picture that like we can; one cuddly creature eating another in so brutal a fashion. Happens all the time tho eh??

Congratulations man that’s awesome good work on both your parts!
