5shot, I bet you are proud of your daughter. Great photo. Camo

Dr Mike, I think I could chase speed goats with this load for sure. Maybe mule deer too. My intention was to just plink this factory ammo away and reload 140 AB but when saw how well they shot I thought I may use for hunting. I will use some Remington brass for the 140 AB to see how that...

I had the choice of a 30-06 or 300 H&H for my moose hunt last fall. Decided to take the 300 loaded with 180 gn Accubonds at around 2950 fps. I did not get a crack at a moose but would have been very comfortable with that set up. But I would not have felt under gunned with the 06 and the same...

I saw some other range pictures on another thread. This one is one of my favorites. I took it while testing some 120 BT's in my 7mm-08. I bought them more for the Nosler brass, but these things are very accurate. Camo

SC, Nice setup. What unit are you hunting? Looks like nice weather to set up camp. Camo

Super-7, I am back in my motel room now. Just got back to Barrhead this afternoon. Sorry to say no moose for me :( The camp that I was in went 4 for 4 last week and left a day early. We arrived at camp last Saturday and had a lot of rain for the next day. For some reason the bulls stopped...

I have decided to use the 180 gr AB out of my 300 H&H for moose this year after a lot of great info from people on this board. They shoot really well out of my rifle. I did kind of want to try the partition and AB in 200 gr but kind of ran out of time. Maybe that means that I will have to go on...

Brian, Sounds good. With my old brass I had no idea how many times that it had been reloaded or by whom. More than likely even identical head stamps were reloaded at different rates. After shooting them once or twice I found two that had partial case head separations. To me with all of the...

One word of caution though. I started reloading mainly because I inherited my dad's 300 H&H. Shells and brass were somewhat hard to find and I had around a hundred used brass of various head stamps. While shooting some of these a had a partial head case separation on a couple of pieces of brass...

Dan, Thank you very much for all of the well wishes. I know those 180gr AB's did the job nicely on my bull elk last fall. The fact that they shoot pretty well doesn't hurt either. I am really looking forward to the trip and hope to have lots of pictures to share when I return. Allen (Camo)

Mighty peace, Good luck on you hunt also. We are scheduled to arrive at the outfitters place on October 1st. From there we head to the base camp that we will be hunting out of. I have got my 300 H&H back together after refinishing the stock, bedding the action , freeing up the barrel and...

Sask boy, Thanks for the well wishes. I will be stopping by the shooters pro shop tomorrow on my way out of bend. Hope to get the rifle reassembled and the new Leupold VX2 3x9x40 mounted next week. Then will do a bit of reloading to get ready for sight in. The 180 gn Accubonds shot very well so...

I already have an upright freezer in the garage. Trying to finish off last years elk meat. If I am successful though I think that I would need to add another freezer to hold a whole moose. If I bought one here at home I would have to store it in the back of my truck for the trip up and back...

Thanks again for the replies, they are all much appreciated. Dr Mike, we will be about 100 miles NW of Edmonton so we will have access to stores with freezers. Sask boy and Charlie. The 180 grain will be my fall back plan. I have had some unfortunate things happen over the last 6-8 months and...

Now that my hunt is a mere two months away the planning activities are in full swing. I have a question for anyone who has driven up to Alberta to hunt moose. Is it better to buy a chest freezer here at home and take it on the round trip or is it possible (or better) to wait and if successful...

Thanks Polaris those were all good points. I am committed to using my 300 H&H so I will have to make sure that I safeguard my ammo. I am thinking that it would be easier to keep a watchful eye on just one rifle since we are riding in on the ATV's. I was originally thinking of taking two rifles...

Thank you all for your thoughts. My initial idea was to take two rifles. The primary will be a Rem 721 in 300 H&H pushing 180 gn NPT or Accubonds. The backup would be a 30-06 with same bullet. Since I am driving up I will care for rifle(s) on the trip, but I am concerned about the trip in on the...

This fall I will be driving from Oregon to near Edmonton Alberta for a moose hunt. I am trying to decide if I should take one or two rifles on the trip. We will be riding ATV's in about 10 miles and hunting out of a spike camp. Space will be limited and outfitter recommended just one rifle. Just...

How are you set up for optics? A good pair of binoculars and maybe spotting scope may be in order, but you may have that covered as well. Sounds like fun! Camo
