Don’t overlook the Viht powders these days. Very available and man from the few I’ve used, they shoot like crazy.

I’ll cut whatever a customer wants Don. Mostly it’s a lot of White Pine, Hemlock, Black Locust. I’ve sawn a fair amount of oak, hard and soft maple, butternut, black walnut, cherry and maybe some stuff I’m forgetting about.

I see it some around here as well Dan. I bought a sawmill back in July and it’s been fairly steady but not really busy. For me it’s been a bit of good luck since I have been trying to shape up the old mill yard and get stuff organized. I’m waiting on some building plans to put a roof over the...

For sure Joe. I always joke that he’s likely the last great governor of NY! He was my favorite president as far back as I remember. Neat fella for sure.

And a 170 grain bullet should be on your list as well ET. All of the powders mentioned work great, I use alot of the Leverevolution in my 30-30/35 Rem loads, but all of those will work great. Give the barrel a good scrubbing if it hasn't had it, and maybe swap projectiles. Something will...

Thanks Dan. Same to you and your buddy. You guys should really give them the business.

Whoooooaaaa Dan! We must’ve been on the elk run today! I had a nice day today so I decided to check my two chosen for this year at 400 as well. The 300 is my bad weather gun. Then my old Lenard Brownell 7 Rem. I brought them home, wiped them down and put them in the case for a...

That’s just mean!

That load is hustling. I get 3200 from my 24” 7 Rem with 70 of 26 with 145 LRXs.

If you have Amazon, enter Teddy Roosevelt Hunting books in your search. A lot of the great titles will pop up.

I have the paper copies somewhere in my stash of things. I enjoyed reading them all.

Looking alot like fall around here as well. Great pictures E You are pretty old... :LOL:

I’d chop it in a heart beat myself. Even at 22” you’ll still get a 200 grain bullet up to 2800 or so with the right powders and a long heavy barrel isn’t any good if you don’t like it. A 24” barrel is about as long as I want most of the time anyhow. I have a couple that’ll remain 25 and 26” just...

I’m watching this cause I think I have 7-8 points. Never hunted prong bucks.

Don, that’s amazing. I’m sorry for your sisters loss, but man was he a warrior. Awesome pics. Again I’m sorry for the loss but it sounds like he went like a good Ranger.

It just got better and better as I crept up in charge weight. I believe a little seating depth adjustment will bring them together. Speeds good as well

Good info Frank. May just load them up and compare.

Rl22 used to be one of my favorites, RL25 would work, as would 7828, 4831, Retumbo, H1000 or RL26/23. I’ve tried them all at one time or another. I like slow stuff in the 25-06 myself especially with 120’s. What do you have available to you Dan?

For sure. I’ll take a rifle that’ll do 5 shots MOA vs another load that’ll do 3 in a 1/4” once in awhile. For my hunting a 5 shot MOA gun will do all I need. Love seeing smaller groups but I know some of that is luck.

I think a guy would drive himself crazy without a chronograph. Look at the variance with a 270 Win and 130 and H4831 for instance. Some max at 58 while some max out at 62. I think it’s literally a guide and you know what’s safe in your batch of components and rifle. Good to see you around...
