    Big game oddities?

    Wouldn't that be a piebald since its not totally white and red eyed?

    Big game oddities?

    I've seen a black coyote while hunting but couldn't get a shot. I have trail cam pics of a tiny piebald doe but never saw her in person. I've seen an albino doe in the back of a neighborhood around where I live, shes kind of famous.

    Signess- I've got it bad

    My first Sig was a two-tone P226 in 9mm. Then Sig came out with the Elite and I found out you could drop a 357 Sig barrel in a 40 & vice versa. Sold the 9mm and never looked back. The P220 Hunter I have (as all Hunters) has the 5" barrel and is SAO. Its been very accurate but may get a trigger...

    Signess- I've got it bad

    I'm a Sig fan boy but haven't dabbled in the P320's. I have a couple P220's, P226's, P229, P239 and a P365 XL. I shot a deer with my 10mm P220 Hunter last year and recently got a P226 X-Five which has been a phenomenal gun.

    Round Nose bullets

    I'd be a little cautious with a round nose in a bigger centerfire like a 30-06 and above if your pushing the velocity for big game. Using one meant for 30-30 velocities could be...interesting. Personally I'd run some in milk jugs to see how they perform at the velocity and distance you plan on...

    300PRC, riddle me this?

    I don't think there's any reason to get rid of a good 300 WM for the 300 PRC or 257 Weatherby for a 25 RPM etc unless you have your heart set on running very heavy high BC bullets. The 300 PRC can run 245+ gr bullets, your factory twist 300 WM cannot. So it's honestly just preference on what you...

    300PRC, riddle me this?

    Well yes, modern cartridge design but the biggest difference is the faster factory twist of the PRC allowing you to run heavier bullets.

    The 224 Bee Saga

    Awesome, I was waiting for the conclusion to this! Glad they got it fixed up and shooting right.

    Weatherby's New Cartridge....

    Sweet, I haven't used any yet but heard good things. I love ADG & Lapua & if its comparable then that's good company.

    Weatherby's New Cartridge....

    I've never used it but it's supposed to be really good brass right?

    Just saw that Peterson is now offering 25 RPM brass.

    It's Good to Know!

    I can't imagine not having a chrono as a handloader. The Garmin Xero was another game changer for me as it's so small and can be setup on the bench next to you. I always found it such a pain to set up my old chrono on a tripod and either just shoot for readings or sit there and fiddle with it so...

    What is your favourite metric cartridge?

    When I heard metric I also think European like some have mentioned already, so I won't comment on the American cartridges. While I don't have a ton of experience with it yet, I absolutely love the 6.5x55 and shot my biggest buck ever with it last year. It's also in a Tikka, the stainless Hunter...

    2026 Hunting Season

    Excellent job! That was a far cry from my frustrating turkey season.

    Partition vs solid base in 30 cal

    Gotta love the Partition, especially a .375 caliber one! Those Solid Bases are looking pretty nice though. It handled that velocity well.
