    Washington High Buck Hunt

    It can be a great hunt. Buddy of mine took a big buck years ago. 200+ inch muley. I've seen some big bucks during that hunt, but not many, and never managed to tag one. Never even got a shot at one. I remember talking to a little 3x3 on the last evening of my hunt one year. Told him that he...

    Hey Mike - I do hope that you and yours are doing well. Thank you again for your hospitality back in 2017 when I was driving home from Alaska. I've had to edit the heck out of this note. I'm at m700miner@gmail.com Hope to hear from you. Regards, Guy

    Keyhole 100gr spitzer .257

    Welcome aboard! I suspect that you've got slow-twist rifling. Some .25's have been built with 1:12 and even slower. They work brilliantly with lighter, shorter bullets, but not well at all with longer bullets. If I'm wrong and rifling isn't the problem I don't have a lot left for...

    First two groups with 150 gr. CX in 7mm RM

    I have limited experience with the CX, but it's proven accurate and penetrates very well. If you do any searching for tighter groups - consider seating them a bit deeper. I don't remember the jump, but I got best accuracy by seating them pretty doggone far off the rifling. Guy

    .30-30 case capacity differences

    I'm not sure that the 360 is going to stick around long... It's a regionally popular thing, but I'm not seeing a lot of others picking up on it. If Marlin starts making 360 Buckhammer rifles then maybe it will be a success. The 35 Rem suffers a similar fate - just not as popular as it ought to...

    .30-30 case capacity differences

    Using Remington 360 Buckhammer cases I got great results with the Hornady 200 gr RNSP and CFE BLK powder. Accuracy was considerably better than factory ammo (which was certainly okay) and picked up quite a bit of velocity as well, at 2311 fps from a Henry lever action. I liked the 360...

    Ruger 96/44 Load

    Ya buddy, a tough 300 gr Jacketed bullet at 1400+ fps is no joke... Looking forward to seeing the field/hunting report! Best of luck this season. Guy

    For the handloaders that do Facebook

    It didn't matter how many times they were told to not post firearms stuff for sale... They kept doing it. That page did grow tremendously Fotis, showing that there is a strong interest in firearms & ammunition on FB. I've tried on Shooting The Breeze to keep the "for sale" stuff off... Most...

    H870 data

    H870 was great with 175 gr Nosler Partitions or 175 gr Sierra GameKings in my 7mm Remington Magnum. As others have said, it's pretty dirty, but accurate and can produce excellent velocity as well. Took my big bull elk 25 years ago using it! I'd think it would do very well with the 264 Win Mag...

    Do you recall your firsts?

    Rifles - I'm fortunate to still have the first two rifles I shot, both belonged to Dad: 22 rimfire, Marlin 39 Mountie - he set it up with the 2.5x Leupold later in life. I'm leaving it there as it's handy to have a scoped 22 rimfire. I was probably 5 or 6 when I started shooting it. First...

    What did you use to take your first animal of other species?

    With a 22 Marlin 39 Mountie at age 7 I was terrorizing the muskrats, ground squirrels, jackrabbits, cottontail, rockchucks, probably illegal birds, coots... I thought it was small game hunting... No, I was an unleashed young rifleman with blood lust! Poor critters! Dad and Grandpa were quite...

    Great looking classic rifle, I'm just not in a rifle-buying position right now... I'm sure you'll have no trouble selling it on Gunbroker! Regards, Guy

    Powder Valley Fire

    Glad no one was injured. I seem to remember Nosler coming back from a big fire some years ago, Pac-Nor barrels too. Was there a stock maker that burned quite a while ago? Guy
