In my WSM, I used RL22 and 150 gn bullets.

Good news on my wife. Orthopedic looked at images and said no broken bones and not a dislocated wrist. Very upset arthritis and the tendon to the thumb from the fall. That’s all good news !

Sorry for your loss. I haven’t replaced my Lab that I had for 14 years that I put down 2 years ago. Feel for you.

We have two adult children in their 30's. My son took me home and my daughter grabbed her mother to sort that out. All issues resolved - my wife goes back tomorrow to set the bones and also get the bones put back into the proper place.

I'm hoping! She.has not gone thru this type of process before. I'm hoping it goes well !!

Had tough time getting control of pain where blood pressure would come down. As my wife went to get the truck she fell and broke 2 bones in her wrist that will get set tomorrow. The disclocated Ulna is up at her thumb right now, so that also will get resolved tomorrow too. What a day ......

Here we go again... 2006 Lumbar Fusion cages rods and screws S1-L4. 2018 same on L4\L3. This time "just" Discectomy on L3\L2. Outpatient surgery. In and out same day tomorrow. A fusion of that level is coming but the goal is pushing it out as much as possible. This is my future...

Very informative. I have Federal 45-70 factory loads that are nickle-plated. I wasn't sure what to think about that. I'll be following this for sure.

I replaced a Savage 93R17 BTVSS that I sold many years ago. I felt I needed a 17HMR again. This one is the blonde laminated stock. I'll have a scope mounted Friday and probably get a couple boxes of ammo thru it before I call it done for the day. Easy way to get more trigger time right...

That will work! I use 300WSM at similar speed but with a 180 PT.

Nice sunny day, so I took out 22LR, 22WMR and a 17WSM in the backyard. Moved a shooting bench to 50 yds. Wife came out with her 17HMR. We proceeded to enjoy the next hour. The WMR is the new Henry and I think it's a 50 yd 1" gun with the ammo I have. I did run across a Sav 93R17 BTVSS. I...

In our family we have been taking deer with a 6.5 bullet for almost 56 years now. All 140gn - Core-lokt, NBT, NPT, NAB. On deer any decent bullet will work. Now of the two you have I really like that Gold Dot in its various forms. I've just not used it in a 6.5 but have no reason to believe...

I went up to Cabela's in Post Falls to transfer that Henry single in 45-70. Picked up some powder and a box of 350gn FP Hornady. I also grabbed some 22WMR ammo since I purchased the display model Henry steel lever. Got 10% off. Cleaned up both guns. Shot about 20 rounds out of the 22...

The intent of my use is for play and elk and maybe bear over bait. Just a firm hunting load would be all I need. Not trying to knock down a T-Rex. Ha Thanks again for all the responses.

Perfect - Thank you ! This is very helpful.
