Of course, that has nothing to do with a 338 Lever or BLR. I don't think that one exists, but I'm sure that Pac-Nor or shilen could make you a prefit barrel to install on a 7mm rem BLR. I don't know of any production 338 Win Mag levers, but keep looking. You'll either like the idea enough to...

The BLR is availible in 358 win, & 450 Marlin, as well...... I beleive that the 450 is not in production anymore, but there is a few around. I think that would make great use of a 300-350 grain partition. Of course, if you've got a 45-70 it would be a serious overlap, but if not would be a...

I can see no trouble with a 243 on WT deer. I loaded a few rounds for a buddy with 90 grain BT's and the damage they caused on a deer is fearsome for the amount of bullet/energy. My uncle hunted deer with a tang Ruger 77 in 243 for many years and killed around 40-50 of them with that rifle...

I dressed him in the yard. With the luxary of a skid steer field dressing is only a worst case scenario. If I do it in the yard I generally will skin out and then remove the head and remove the entrails last. IT gets alot less hair on the meat. Somebody hit a doe crossing the road onto my...

Looks like there is already a hunting pics thread. Please delete this one and I`ll repost in the correct forum.

Well, it isn't huge, but it is a decent 4X4 and it will be tasty. First decent buck since 05. Shot at 50yds broadside, with my grandpa along for the fun. Cleaning wasn`t so much fun, it was -26 C this morning when I shot it. Browning A bolt 7mm STW with 3.5-10X40 VX III 160 Accubond over...

That would suck to loose a 4 wheeler, rifle and pistol. Hopefully, he gets them back. May the thief's road be rocky and full of thorns for his trouble. I'm always paranoid about that sort of thing happening. I had a lock punched out of my car door a couple years back when I bought a CZ550. It...

I'd be pretty cautious substituting data in a wildcat based on a 30-30 case. The 30WCF case isn't rated for all that much pressure, I haven't got a SAAMI rating, but it would be worth checking. If it were, it's performance would be almost equal to a 308 Win. Just my 2 cents, JT.

NIce boar as well, congrats.

In reality, I never had huge problems arise from other bullets despite a couple bullet failures and jacket seperations. IE, the bullet fell apart, but the deer was recovered. However, I get better, more consistent accuracy from Nosler plastic(poly) tipped bullets and bang flop results on game...

COuld use that in a 460 wby too........

Perhaps install dowels from the front with glue and then glue and clamp the crack, followed by installing the metal press mount with a bottom plate and or just two pieces of flatiron after it dries for a couple days. JT.

Congrats on a fine trophy and the opportunity to take an interesting animal. JT

I'd concur with either a 375 H&H, which is only so and so interesting as you already have a 375 Ruger, but is a perfect match for the action if you want it to fit into the era the action was made. OR, more to my taste, a 358 Norma is a very interesting & unique round perfectly suited to a full...

This year I'm after a buck as the winter was pretty bad and alot of the younger does and fawns were "winter killed". Most years I do shoot a doe for meat and have no qualms about it. Course there was a couple winters when I was a kid that all we ate was deer meat and that was not by choice, so...

And I know, I shouldn't have been in the position to have taken that trophy either(as in drawing down on it). It wasn't exactly kosher as I was leaving my hunting area. JT.

I seen the biggest WT buck I've ever seen in a scope today. My wife and I went out down a mess of oilfield and leased pasture land gravel roads behind our house. Most of the land back there is public access and there is the odd really big buck back in there. SO, we went out and looked around...

Impressive tests and field results. I was pretty convinced before reading that tho. ANY bullet that can travel thro a deer lengthways and take out over a foot of spinal bones and then a femur holds togather pretty well. Especially, after getting spit out of a 30-378. That has been the only...

Very nice shooting rig, looks good. Wouldn't want to be an Elk downrange of that thing. Those 200 grain Accubonds are formidable bullets. I shot a buck last year at 300m+ and the bullet went thro 4 ribs and being a quartering shot into the spine for about 10 inches, exited the spine thro the...

Great story, that would an indelible mark on ones' memory for certain. Great writing too, by the way, it is all to often that I read posts or threads online that are written in text slang and acronyms, without any skilled writting or grammar. Writting with skill is not a common thing anymore. JT.
