As with any brass, there is going to be variations between various lots of brass, those manufactured by different companies, as well as the two types of brass. The main reason I have read over the years, is that the nickel plated brass is harder and doesn't stretch/expand the same as regular...

A 7mm 150 gr over 3000 fps will sort out most critters! You're not wanting for anything there...and a handy rifle that balance well...who can ask for anything more?

Good load, good bear, way to go! Congrats all around!

If you're not familiar with tuning your rifle's trigger and aren't replacing it with an aftermarket one, get a gunsmith to fine tune it so that it stays safe. For a hunting trigger, three pounds of pull is good, so you can still feel it with light gloves off when hunting in cooler weather. In...

According to the guy I traded these rifles with, both are shooters, so we will see. I have not had any issues with any No.1 I have owned to date, so hope that these prove the same, as indicated. The only reason I may not keep the 308 is the cartridge...while the 308 is a good cartridge, it is...

I know that I was impressed many years ago (about 30 years back) when a fellow and his young teenage son showed up at the range to check their rifles for an upcoming hunt... The father pulled an old, worn, but well kept, 270 out of his case, and rang the 400 yard gong 5 times in a row standing...

Thanks! Thinking on trying the Federal Premium 175 gr Terminal Ascent ammunition in it first...hopefully it will shoot as well as it is in my other rifles. Honestly, I am still trying to decide if I am going to keep the 308...did the deal as I was wanting the High Wall...and the 308 has such...

So the Ruger No.1's in 218 Bee and 257 Roberts have now found new homes... The funds from the No.1A 257 Roberts is going into the Africa hunt fund in May, and the 218 Bee was traded along with its good supply of ammunition for two other single shots, now new to me. Both in excellent condition...

Many a "mispent" hour in the back 40 with a 22 as a kid! Not to mention all the snowshoe hares and ruffies that came home for dinner!

Always amazing when instructed by someone with real skill and talent! Congrats on the worthwhile investment in time, effort and money! I'm sure you will be rewarded handsomely with a fine firearm that will bring many a bird to hand in the coming years...and I bet the smile never leaves your face...

That'll do Pineman, that'll do! Should put elk down just fine with proper bullet placement! I am liking the on-game performance I have experienced with the Federal TA bullets to date!

And this is a good example of why one should stick to the old reliable, rugged, tried and true brands for harder recoiling cartridges... You don't hear about it much today, but in the past Leupold advertised that all their scopes were subjected to pounding tests in a jig that duplicated 300 gr...

Sounds like a fun gun!:cool: Love the 358 Win! (My first is in a BLR and second in a LH bolt) Thought an AR would be fun in this or a 338 Federal...but alas north of the border here, we cannot hunt with an AR! :poop:

When you stop hunting a species of animal, they quickly learn that they have nothing to fear from humans, and become more bold and aggressive, and in times of hunger, the predators may look upon people as another food source; after all we are slower and smaller than the prey species they usually...

Yep! Although we will admit the days of tying up your deer until hunting season are sadly in the rearview mirror, as the numbers are down from what they once were....:cry: Although we did have to take his rifle away until deer season!;) We didn't tell him it was because we didn't want him to...

You never get rid of the memories! Especially those that make you laugh and remember those special moments!

Mike, I would have thought you would be calling him Lucky, as he is lucky it isn't moose season, and he is not where you could legally shoot him!:LOL: And you need your lucky blue halter to tie him up until moose season...like you did your '07 whitetail.;) Here'

Gerry, while I have used some Vihtavouri powders, I haven't tried many to date. I would probably go with 560 and 565 first to see how they perform in your rifle. I would give Mike a call, he has pretty extensive experience with these powders and can probably give you some good first hand advice...

Africa in May with my wife - Sable, springbok, kudu, nyala, and bushbuck; and Bear hunting in May with wife - she is still after her first black bear; and Colorado in Aug/Sept with my daughter - archery antelope for me and archery elk for her; and Elk and moose hunting Sept/Oct with wife - she...

Pros: Improvement in accuracy Cons: Cost, time, and a little extra weight dependent upon amount and type of bedding compounds and pillars In the end it is a worthwhile investment!
