Face To Face
In early December Collin who is a good friend of mine and I went out west of Huson up in the mountains to try and call in a coyote or a wolf. Out of the two animals we both were hoping that we might be lucky and have one or more wolves respond as we both wanted to take one. I...
I've shot into water/milk jugs filled with water at 25 - 100 - 200 - 300 - 400 - & 500 yards. Line 7 up and and you should be good. It's good practice and nice to see how your bullets perform. Penetration, expansion, and weight retention.
Fire Away!!
Here's 90 gr. E-tips and 100 gr. Partitions out of a 6mm Remington at 3318 & 3170 fps shot into water jugs at 100 - 200 - 300 - & 400 yards. Sorry didn't shoot a Partition into jugs at 300 yards. Been really happy with how the E-tips have performed in the 6mm. Haven't shot them in anything...
I've been impressed with the Nosler E-tips. They have shot well and performed very nicely in my son's 6mm Remington. I'd try the 165 or 180 gr. E-tip and use the one your rifle shoots the best. If the 165 gr. E-tip shoots well I would just use that bullet. a 90 gr. E-tip out of my son's...
Guy make sure you shoot the correct type of bear. A few years ago a fellow in Idaho just over the line from us up Highway 12 shot a grizzly bear that came into bait thinking it was a black bear. Just saying it could happen. The grizzly bears have been doing really well here in Montana and...
Love my 30-06 using 165 gr. Partitions or Accubonds. That's all I ever load for it at 2940 fps out of my Ruger 1B. I want for nothing more, but like all of you folks I seem to be unable to own just one rifle.
That's sure sweet! You gotta love those Ruger #1's! I sure do. Both of mine shoot great also and with Partitions no less!
My Partitions agree with your Partitions! It's such an iconic combination you have there. Ruger single shot, 180 gr. Partition, and the 300 H&H, what more do you need!
Make a log-on account at SPS and watch for seconds and over-runs. Really good prices too.

I loved the 280 Remington I had and I love the 280AI I had built. If I had to go with just one it would be the 280AI. After all I shot my grizzly bear with it which was a once in a lifetime hunt for an amazing animal. But then I also shot my largest bull elk with my 280 Remington. Dang...
Cabela's Missoula Montana: I was just in there and they are selling Federal 210 Match primers for $10.00 and a bit more for 100 primers. The small pack! Wow.
I've had a couple bags of 6mm Remington Winchester brass (50 rounds each) sitting on the shelf in my reloading room that I've had for maybe 4 years and just got around to prepping them to be loaded. In doing this prep work I found that out of 100 rounds of brass that I was truing up that 32 of...
