Lot's of good advise on powders already, the 225 gr Sierra is an excellent all around bullet. What powders do you already have on hand in the H 4895 - CFE 223 range? There are lots of powders that will do well and you may have something good already. I've used RL 15, AA 2015, Varget, H 4895 and...

Congratulations on your elk, she should be awesome eating. I am a subscriber to your YouTube channel and watched the video as well. Is that the exit wound visible on your field photo? Pretty convenient that she expired where she did.

Nice find!

Very cool, only a tiny bit less case capacity than the 358 Norma Mag. Probably can use reloading data for it but maybe not the max charges listed.

It's actually CZ (through Colt Canada) that's helping the "Canadian Government" with their gun bans by disposing of guns. I'm not one that will support those companies anymore.

You must go on some of the same websites I go to, have seen a few of them for sale recently. Even with the rear locking action getting a 180 gr bullet to 2950-3000 fps shouldn't be too hard and be easy on the gun. I've heard that those Shultz and Larsen guns were very well made rifles. Sounds...

I used one for many years and still think it's the best of the belted magnums and compares well to many newer belt less rounds. I necked down 338 WM brass and it works fine with a bit shorter neck. That said Norma brass was awesome and would go that route. I used MRP with 200's and the Nosler...

Don't have any experience with the CVA but I always recommend Tikka or Browning for rifles that rarely have issues. Between those two you could probably just pick the one that has the features you like and fit well. Maybe someone local to you has a Tikka to see how they fit you.

A while ago I saw a couple of used Savage 99 rifles in 308 that fit surprisingly well. The iron sights lined up perfectly when you shouldered the gun. Anyone have any advise on the Savage 99 and what to look for or are there any other used lever guns that I should be aware of? Something that I...

This is what the Leupold looks like, I don't have a good picture of the other set up unfortunately.

You can get either set up. I've used Leupold Rings that clamp down directly to the dovetail and I believe a Burris base that went onto the dovetail and then just regular rings on top of that.

It's amazing that they can swallow such a big fish like that. Would make some excellent video if you have that option with your camera.

Very nice, now you need to load up a bunch of dummy rounds and set them up all over the house............at least that's what I do haha.
