    30-30 Fans

    Using the LeverRevolution powder, what is your pet load and bullet in a lever action. I am restoring a 30-30 my wife's grandmother used and hope to shoot it some day. Thanks WM

    35 whelen loads

    Yep, they are for his Model 700. He was not able to connect on a elk yet, but this load has proven to be potent whitetail medicine this year :mrgreen:

    Advice on changing zero and group size...

    Let us know what you find out. I have the same bullet & powder but with 55g of IMR for a mid '80's Rem 700 30-06 that I love. Not sure what happened, but the 100 yd groups are now over 2". So off to the bench I went and came up with a 180g accubond with 53.5G of IMR powder combo and now its...

    Clean the smoke pole?

    We clean our 'loaders about a week before our season opens. Once cleaned, we snap a cap through it to make sure its gonna fire. Then run some bore butter down the tube and put some electrical tape on the muzzle and nipple. Been working for us for about 20 years like that. BTW, we use Hawken...

    Anyone Else Jonsin'

    Or how ever you say it? Man, I feel like an addict needing a fix. Only two more weekends and our bow deer season opens and one week after that, hello Mr. Bugle :grin: Here's to brown and down :mrgreen:

    Advice on changing zero and group size...

    My -06 did the same thing this year. I checked everything and come to find out it was the scope. That was confirmed when I got the feedback from Leupold. Somehow, someway something broke in the scope. I was bummed and glad at the same time. This is the first time since '83 I have had a...

    Jeep Wrangler hunting vehicle

    Guy, how difficult is it to remove and put the top back on it? Can a husband and wife duo take the task on, or is it too heavy? Thanks

    F-150 Ecco Boost

    Nope, its been around for a while. Its just the first time I have driven one in a production vehicle. I am not a big fan of the F-150's as that is all we had growing up on the farm and yours truly got to do all of the repairs on them. So I guess I am jaded, but this thing might just change my...

    35 Whelen Elk Loads

    Hi Gerry or others. I never used a drop tube, so what is involved with this process? On a side note, there is a box of 50 pretty 225G partitions sitting on the bench :grin: Thanks WM

    F-150 Ecco Boost

    I had my POS Dodge work truck go into sickbay again. While it spent its two weeks there, I was issued a Ford truck with the Ecco boost. At first, I thought, well this is great. I get to drive a granola mobile thinking it was a Prius type drive train. Was I wrong. I spend most of my time...

    35 Whelen Elk Loads

    Ok guys, I got the little soldiers all cleaned and dressed up but they have no where to go. I tried to find some 225g accubonds, but no dice. I normally would buy locally, but they are out and have no idea when they will get more. Notice I said 225g :twisted: I am going to let him decide...

    35 Whelen Elk Loads

    Thanks a lot guys. Good info. I am really trying to persuade him into the 225g partition or AB. Any words that I could use to help him understand the difference between the 200 and 225g bullets for his intended use? I will get some range pics, but our range is national forest. So you may...

    35 Whelen Elk Loads

    Howdy, I am not versed in this round, but was asked by my wife's uncle to reload some for him. He is shooting a classic Rem 700BDL. He plans on shooting no more than 150 yards. He wants a 200G bullet. He has shot four boxes of superformance 200g SP and likes that round. So Hornady once...

    300 RUM Powder, Need to Change

    Thanks guys. I have access to about 8 lbs of RL25 and multiple pounds of HL1000. Retumbo has been my go to but its scarce and I am not digging the fact I will have to buy singles from different lots. A local guy has used RL25 in his 338 Edge and prefers it over Retumbo. He could not say how...

    How to cook a Wolf?

    I went for a ride yesterday. Its an area I have frequented many seasons before. I go here because it is the spring range of the herd I hunt. This is also a great place to shed hunt. This is the first year I saw no sheds. I saw no elk, and only a few does. What I did see is a carcass. I...
