Well, 3600FPS, my my my. I could live with that, wow. JT.

I had that exact gun in slightly better shape, AWESOME guns. It loved Retumbo and Noslers. I worked up to a hearty charge of retumbo with a 130 Accubond and it was very accurate @ 3300 FPS. As I said, work up.... Be careful loading for that one until you know if it's been throated or where the...

I'd suggest getting your chamber opened up to a 338 edge. It's just a 300 Rum necked up to 338 without moving the shoulder. A side benefit is that it is ballistically superior to the 338 RUM. That is my opinion, however, I've never used a 338 Edge. There is one or two guys that have them here. JT.

I seem to go thro pahses as well. I think the 6mm's are great. They have enough zip to shoot 1km on paper, but really managable recoil and low powder usage. JT.

I'd think that we/you would need a look at that buck's carcass to actually know where and what happened. Supposition would lead to assumptions, but we'll never know for sure, the deer was unrecovered. Sounds like a decent chance and one of the times nobody wins, regrettable, but likely still...

You guys are right, I should at least give it a bit of range time before trying to fix a brand new rifle. I'll give it a try and post range results when it warms up. It's -28 with a 9MPH wind today. Good day to reload and drink coffee. Perhaps I'm just feeling sheepish because that 7mm rm...

In October I bought a NIB Sako 75 in 7mm Rem. I've been fairly busy and haven't got around to breaking in the barrel or anything. Now as it gets colder during the winter I get to tinkering with my reloading bench and coming up with ideas to build something interesting. I am asking myself if I'd...

No experiance with it, but keep us posted on how it performs. That is a very interesting monster you've got there. JT.

I've got a Lyman Crusher II and it's been ok. About 2 years ago one of the eyes broke, big chunk of cast just fell off the bottom of it when I was resizing some 7mm or 30-378 brass. So, I am not saying it's a great press, but it still works. Lots of leverage & quite a bit of window. I've still...

Well, I've got absolutely nothing to add to this that will measure up, but I got a good laugh out of some of the tales. JT.

There is an exchange forum on the canadiangunnutz.com forum and stuff goes for cheap on there. AND it's in Canada, so for me that is huge. I still keep an eye on gunbroker.com and have looked into the process of importing, but it would have to be a heck of a deal to merit that hassle. I'd only...

I would love the chance to hunt with a handgun. Very nice doe and that is impressive with a Glock.

Well, Hornady bullets work ok on paper, real accurate, but every now and then a target will try to get up and flee off the back board :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: ok ok fine, I've never lost an animal from using Hornady bullets, but the times I did use them I got full jacket seperation and...

Very nice, good luck in your efforts to find a BIG buck too. JT.

what the hunter should use ought to be a step up from what is adequate and should encompass what gives him the best chance of making a humane, quick kill. No matter what the caliber, or bullet speed, or angle of the shot, if the game is killed humanely and quickly, there will be meat to dine...

There has been a few threads lately on which guns are suitable for WT deer and other game. What do you guys consider when selecting a round to use on a specific game?? There are some that work in optimum conditions and then the others that ruin half of your meat, lets hear bout them. JT.

It is enough, but falls into that shot placement crucial spot. Properly used it is enough for alot of game. I'd have to say that there are times, particulaly with younger hunters or inexperianced hunters, that a buck larger than what they are used to will present a shot and the hit is less...

Looks like a great family hunting trip, good for you guys. May there be many more. It's memories like that that make this sport all its own. JT

100 yotes, man you've helped keep the deer population intact. That is impressive. I think I may be 1 shy of 10, unless you count a couple that I found with a bumper..... www.herd.com JT.

Good choice to stay with the 30 cal vs a 223. I've had a few long days tracking deer hit with 22-250's. I'll agree that respect for the game animal requires a bit more gun. I'm really fond of the 257 wby for WT deer and I load mine a bit light. Most of the loads I use could be duplicated in...
