What an adventure. Looks like all of you had a great time and caught a lot of Brookies. The meals looked fantastic too. JD338

Very cool. Can’t wait to see it when it’s finished. JD338

The Whitetail line has been huge for Nosler. They are adding additional cartridges and bullet weights to this product line. I would think they will be updating their website sometime soon. JD338

I’d look at the 165-168 gr class of bullets. 😉 How’s the recoil for you? Without proper fit, recoil can become an uncomfortable experience. Adding a Pachmyer Decelerator Magnum recoil pad can make a big difference in felt recoil. I helped a neighbor buddy set up his M700 BDL 30-06 for shooting...

I would consider testing a lighter weight bullet after confirming that the mounts and rings are torqued down to proper specs. JD338

Good show! JD338

Euro Optics is a first class act JD338

The Swift Z bullet looks to be a great bullet. They are planning to introduce additional calibers and weights including 2 30 caliber offerings. JD338

I’m running 165-168 gr bullets in my Nosler M21 308 Win with 46.0 grs Varget for 2810 fps and .4-.5 MOA. JD338

That Ruger Custom 45 Blackhawk convertible is nice! JD338

I used the 70 gr BT in a 243 Win with great results on woodchucks out to 400 yards. JD338

I use magic markers to color code the primer pockets for different bullet weights. This could also be used to identify different powder types or weights, primers or seating depths. I use a sharpie to write charge weights and COAL info on the case. JD338

I am with the others. Invest in good optics and they won’t let you down, especially in low light. I have Meopta 10x42mm binoculars and they have excellent glass. JD338

Gil There are not many 700 Classics for sale so they get top dollar. They are going for $1200-$1500 depending on condition and chambering. The 257 Roberts is highly sought after. JD338

I use the same load in my 700 Classic. This is a long/magnum action and a 24” barrel. I seat the bullet out to a COAL 2.900” and get 3100 fps and .3” groups. JD338
