I Think the Mark IV scopes were one of the toughest years ago with dual erectors.

Only 400? Wow that was a long time ago :)

If I was to do it again from the beginning I'd probaby do it on a 37XC case for better brass. I still have the barrel and action (currently on a 30-338 Lapua Imp) so it would be easy to bring it back to life. I shot a bear in the neck shoulder junction with that gun as it climbed on the bait...

My buddy and I built a single shot 460 Weatherby to shoot bears with over bait. It had a 1.25" straight 28" long barrel. We use to shoot 300gr Cutting Edge bullets we modified to basically break apart. We use to shoot them at 3400fps. It was wicked on bears. We also did a 500 A-Square.

Never seen a Choate stock on a benchrest gun.

Good job Jim.

I've shot 3 moose, 2 in ID and 1 in AK. My bull in Idaho was 450yds with a 358STA using 250gr Hornady bullets. I popped it in the lungs and it turned slightly, blocking another shot. It stood there for 15-20 seconds and then started swaying side to side before tipping over. My Idaho cow I shot...

I'm with you Don. My dad is 77 and has pretty much given up big game hunting. His knees are shot from high school football and he doesnt want to have surgery. I still get him out to chase pheasants a bit but even that is getting hard on him. He really needs to hit the gym but he has never been...

Jim and Fotis do a great job weeding out the trouble makers early to keep things civil. I sure wish the ladies were still around as they added many different aspects to things. It's too bad many jealous people couldn't handle their success and ran them off. I thoroughly enjoyed their input.

The only tough part about the 338-28 Nosler and Africa is the name on the cases not matching the barrel. Some countries dont do that.

I truly hope they keep the tradition going for many generation to come like my dad and his dad did for us. It might be hard work but the memories made in the woods are priceless to me.

Its the breaks of the Salmon River, doesnt get much rougher. The hike in isnt terrible but the hike out with a 100lb pack (a boned out front and rear quarter plus a backstrap) is rough on his 54yo dad. My body is still sore. I just did the same thing alone 5 days earlier with my bull. He didnt...

One shot one kill too. We were watching 3 other bulls, 3 points to 5 points, at around 530yds. The 5 point went behind a tree before we could get a shot and my son just happen to spot this bull and another one walk over the hill 200yds from us. I think he shot the smaller of the 2 but it was...

Here is a picture of him with the horns.

Thanks Dan. My 12yo shot his first elk 2 nights ago also. It was a 4x4 bull.

And it would take another trip packing meat Jim, his body was huge. As it was I didn't get home until the next night at 12:15am. 26,200 steps and 50 dirt bike miles getting camp and meat out. 😂

I shot this small 6x6 on Friday night. I got up to my spot a bit late and this bull was out with about 25 cows. I scanned around and saw one other cow a bit further down the hill but nothing else when I made my crawl to get into shooting position. After the shot I looked down the hill where my...

My buddy shot a doe whitetail in northern Idaho with a 260BT from a 375JRS (375-8mm Rem mag). It quite literally blew hair everywhere. Pretty impressive to say the least.

You measure the OD of the neck prior to seating a bullet and after seating the bullet to get neck tension. The known load was with different brass. I've never seen a known load with one brass at X capacity perform the same as another brass at Y capacity. It might get you close but that is it...

You didnt ask me but I typically try to run .003 tension in hunting magnums. Any less and you could see bullet movement in rounds that sit in the mag box.
