Im not sure any true panaceas exist but if one does exist I think it would be the 165 gr in the 308. It's my favorite bullet weight in this caliber.

Im in SC, about an hour and half or less from Asheville, and yes, super liberal and it is the San Francisco of the East coast. Plenty of mountainous terrain to hunt though

The Chattahoochee National Forest encompasses over 700,000 acres that covers several states. The Cherokee National Forest encompasses 650,000 in several states as well. As you would expect those mountains are really tough. Those Mtns hold some big whitetails as well as bears but they are elusive...

I got this pic several years ago on one of my trail cams.

Great pic my brother. In SC we have two permanent hawks, Red-Tail and Red Shoulder, however we have other species at different times of the year. We also have Broad-winged Hawk, and the Swainson's and Rough-legged Hawks, they are rare but regular Winter visitors.

Big brother has been nosy for years! They know more about you than you know about yourself!

Red Dot is mainly a shotgun powder but has several applications in the pistol realm. On another note, I love those "powder gifts". I was gifted roughly 16 lbs of powder a couple years ago. 8 lbs of each IMR-4895 and IMR-4831.

The only thing Im "looking" for in bullets are lower prices.. LOL

I've shot the 140 GK in my 7-08 for several years and they work really well at 7-08 velocities with minimal meat loss. Ive never had any desire to shoot 140 gr GK's in a 7 mag due the velocity design limitations with the GK bullet, especially at closer ranges. I shot either 150, 154 or 160 gr...

I've got thousands upon thousands of primers, Hornady and Sierra bullets out the wazoo, and all the IMR-4895, 7828, 4831, H414, Big Game, powder that I could ever use. I could use a few pounds of Varget. The ONLY thing I know I'll be buying, outside of some Varget, is a few hundred of the Nosler...

I don't own one now but have owned several 270's over the years and was partial to 150 gr bullets and RL-22, of course I did use my share both versions of 4831 though.

Here's one that Im most proud of. I killed this ol gobbler with my 1916 Ithaca Flues model 16 ga double barrel. 15 yds shot.

You have some good looking turkey calls. I especially like the red slate. I've got more calls than you can shake a stick at but I may buy one.

I normally do not make it a habit to load for anyone without the rifle in hand but I got roped into loading for a friend of a friends 7-08 many years ago. Without the rifle I knew it would be tough but knowing this person wasn't expecting light speed velocity nor atomic clock accuracy, I helped...
