I agree with tightening, shortening them up a little. I can’t guess how many times I’ve experienced two together and one out over the years. Sometimes just a little will bring them all together. If I were a betting man I would bet that I have shot many of those same groups with Partitions. I...

I would guess you got a bad finish on those. I’ve Leupold mounts going back 50 years or more as well as newer ones that have never needed direct attention. Wipe the gun down the mounts sorta get wiped down also. I can think of a couple of guns that went from Oregon to Washington to Alaska and...

Good luck with your load development and finding a cooperative deer. I like Sigs, carried one on duty for a while and still own a 40 caliber. Your velocity looks pretty good.

I’ve had the opportunity to hunt grizzly to prairie dogs with partitions and just about everything in between. I was never unhappy with their performance on shots that ranged from 30 to 300 yards. The advent of the Accubond has changed my thinking. I have not taken any of the great bears with...

I agree Fotis. I’ve always thought if I would take the shot with an 06 and 180s I could take the same shot with the 375 and 260s.

I have all my hunting rifles set to a 200 yard zero. that gets everything basically 6-8 inches low at 300 yards. While I have everything set up except the 375 with dialing system now I never use it unless I’m taking a shot out around 400.

I believe it is Guy’s load and also developed in a #1

I’ve had this #1 for quite a few years, spent about 5 minutes on load developement as I recall. I’ll probably fire 3 shots with 300 gr Accubonds in the next week or so. That’ll be it for the year. Six shots from the bench some 40 to 60 rounds on steel over the year. Point of aim is the bottom of...

Had a little time this afternoon to play with my 375HH. 71 gr. RL 15; 260gr. Partition; 2684 fps; first shot hits on plates out to 400yards; Leupold vx111 1.5 x 5.

Catherine was born and raised in Eastern Kentucky. She swears she had lessons on Bourbon law by the time she was in second grade. She has a preference for Jefferson.

I’ve always hated the disease, winter kill and road kill. All of it suck a waste.

No kidding, I’d take 50 again. Congratulations, 50 is certainly a milestone worthy of well deserved celebration. What is it you’ve let breath in the unique tumbler?

We have some in Oregon as well. Often time the land is owned by private timber companies and is walk in only. Really disturbs me when I find tracks of or see ATVs up in there. Well marked on OnX and the places I’ve hunted or worked my dogs there have been welcome to hunt signs posted at or near...

He was refreshing intelligent even though I may not have agreed with all his positions. I agree with Fotis a poor bastard incapable of winning an argument takes the cowards way out. I find it very disturbing that folks can’t have divergent views and have an intelligent conversation. I...

Pretty much a perfect setup for elk.
