Just picked up a new Tikka T3 in 6.5 PRC. Looking at ammo and I am curious about the 143 grain Norma Bondstrikes. Does anyone have any real world hunting experience with this bullet you can share? I like that they are a bonded bullet and the BC is very high at .629.

Can I assume you are using the Leupold Backcountry aluminum pic rail?

Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it! I like the PRW2 rings because they are steel.

So for clarification do you feel the set-up with the picatinny rail and PRW2 rings is more solid because the components are steel vs aluminum or is there a different reason for this being the preferred set-up? Do the cross slots make this more robust? Do you use a steel or aluminum pic rail and...

I am mounting a new scope on my Weatherby Mark V Accumark in 300 WBY and cannot decide if I should go with a picatinny rail or direct mounts. The scope is a Leupold VX6-HD 3-18 x 50mm. One option is to mount a steel picatinny rail and then use PRW2 rings or something similar. I like this method...

When mounting a new scope is it critical to lap the rings or is this an unnecessary step?

I have a Weatherby Mark V Accumark chambered in 300 WBY. It shoots sub-MOA groups averaging around .88 in size. The accuracy is pretty good but I would like to get down to 1/2 MOA groups if possible. The rifle has the stock Criterion #3 taper barrel. I am considering purchasing a new barrel and...

I recently picked up a brand new Weatherby Mark V Accumark in 300 WBY that has a hand laid fiberglass stock which is painted with a camo pattern. The stock does not have knurling in the grip areas and I find it to be slippery. As this is a hunting rifle I want to correct this. What is the best...

FOTIS, My apologies but it's not clear to me what your suggesting? I noticed on your blog you have a Weatherby 338-378 Accumark. That's the exact rifle and caliber I have on order with Weatherby that I am looking for a scope for.

Just curious what people are using for a scope magnification out to 400 yards? I plan on doing a few western hunts for deer and elk over the coming years. My maximum ethical shot distance will be 400 yards. I am wondering what power range the optimal scope would be? Currently looking at a VX5...

I have been practicing with a trigger stick but am still not as accurate as I need to be and currently would not go beyond 100 yards. Assuming you are a right handed shooter I am curious were the best spot is for your left hand? On the inside of the trigger stick near the mag well, on the...

I have been taking a serious look at the 338-378 WBY as a longer-range big game cartridge (400-600 yds). The Weatherby factory load shooting the 225 grain Barnes TTSX shoots as fast and as flat as my 300 WBY but packs a lot more punch. If anybody has experience hunting with this cartridge, I...

Would you consider this load with the 225 gr TTSX adequate for a dedicated grizzly bear hunt?

Picture of recovered bullet

So I wrapped up my Yukon hunt last week. It was an awesome hunt and I ended up shooting a real nice bull. We spotted him bedded down in an avalanche chute across the valley. We ranged him at one mile. My guide cow called him in and I shot him at 240 yards. Being in the Yukon and taking this bull...

So you may very well be correct that the state owns the wildlife but that has not been my understanding. The United States operates under what is know as the North American Model For Wildlife Conservation which can be traced back to ancient Roman law. The seven principles to this model are...

So my perspective here may be off as I am not a subject matter expect regarding who pays to maintain federal lands but it seems to me that non-residents should not have to pay higher fees or have hunting access limited over residents on federally owned property. ALL tax payers in this country...

That's a nice bull! Congratulation's on your hunt!

Cheyenne, It's nice to meet you via this forum. I look forward to learning from your wisdom!:):)

just curious what bullet, weight and load you will be using on your moose hunt with your 338 RUM?
