Oh sorry my bad must have been from a bit of sleep deprivation, I did forget to mention that these would be used as long range target rounds at 500+yds. I am not sure of other places, but correct me if I am wrong Mike, but we are not allowed to use the CC for hunting here in BC. Which one would...

168 gr Nosler Custom Competition Vs the Ballistic Tip. The CC has a lower BC while the BT has a higher one. Just curious as to which one people find more reliable at longer ranges (in .308 of course). What is the preference for either bullet?

I second that the Mod 70's have served well. My 30-06 Mod 70 I bought when I was 17, and one of the Westerners (internal mag no floor plate) is a sub MOA rifle from day one. The day after I bought mine my dad went and bought a 30-06 Mod 70 sporter, and still using it only today. It would have...

Those are some very nice looking Featherweights you have. The next rifle that is brought into my home will be a Featherweight, just not sure of calibre and passing it by the wife. I do like the Mod 70's. Can't wait to see what your range tests show.

So, if I am reading evryones info Varget is not designated to use with a heavier bullet and IMR 4064 use with the lighter bullets. I will still do another test run with the Varget and once fired winchester brass up to max and see what it shoots like and if there are any pressure signs. I have...

I am wondering what the opinions are from the rest of you on this one. I have done some researching on the internet and other forums and I am trying to figure out if I am understanding this correctly. I have seen alot of discussion that is stating that Varget is better suited for the heavier...

Thanks George. I seemed to have got it to go later that night. I was at work and know that it should'nt have been an IT issue there, but never know.

Hi, just curious if anyone else has had any trouble accessing the Nosler reload page from the web page. For some reason the info is no longer coming up. Also I can't seem to get to the Nosler main page. Just wondering if anyone has had trouble or it is something going on on my end. Thanks

Great shooting. Now you will have to stoke up the bbq.

Congrats on a nice cow elk.

I am not sure what part you would be referring to as the failure. In the 30+ years that I have used Partitions I can say that I have seen a deer and even elk get up after being hit hard with a 180gr Partition. Like what Guy said some animals will need to have the second shot. There are so...

I second that Gerry. I have a friend who regularily take his 280 grizzly hunting, and has dropped grizzlies with it and the 160 NP. I would say the comparrison gets a litlle miss matched when the 30-06 is loaded with the 180gr NP. Just that extra 15gr gives that little extra penitration on a...

Well I guess I would say anything over 300yds is a long shot. I have dropped a bull moose at 510yds, bull elk 450yds mulies out to 400yds and this year 2 weeks ago a whitetail at 383yds. All have been with my 30-06 with 180gr NP. I have shot deer to 300 yds with the old Browning BLR .308 and...

Welcome aboard Dan. I know you will find some very excellet advise for alllot of very knowledgeable people. I can tell you that I have learn allot on here. Keep the pictures coming, and yes I am jealous but one day hope to make it up to Alaska to do some moose hunting and salmon fishing. Cheers!

Super-7 Congrats to your dad. I know exactly how that works out. I took my dad 74yrs old out for a hunt. He can stills as your dad shoot straight albeit a little smaller animal in a whitetail doe, but hey it's meat. That cow sure does look big. She must have been eating what your Alberta...

Wow, that H4831 59.0gr load looks deadly. That is a real tight shooting 270. Great shooting.

I would have to say that I think that rifle likes the IMR4064. I have never tried IMR4064 in my 30-06 because I have had such great success with IMR4350 and just this year switched to H4350. I do however run 180gr NP's through mine with 5 shot sub .75" groups. IMO I would try to tweek the...

I just checked a couple of new boxes of factory loads the I have just for the brass and the 150gr Imperial rounds are consistantly 2.710" OAL and the 180gr Remington Core-Lokt rounds are mostly 2.720" OAL with some being 2.690" OAL. I can't wait to take them to the range and see just how they...

That is some beautiful country where you were. I can totally relate to you wolf problem. We are starting to see the wolves become aggressive towards hunters with 3 or 4 of them surrounding guys and then moving in from 3 sides. Places where I would usually see 40-50 head of elk now not seeing...

Great photos Guy, especially the young rams.
