    2024 Hunting Season

    Yup, it is bittersweet to watch our hunting partners grow up. We're proud of them, but we know we'll miss them at those poignant moments when we are afield and they are pursuing their new crafts. Grandchildren will make up some of the loss! Okay, perhaps even a major part of the loss!:love:

    There is a difference in bearing surface which introduces a difference in pressure. It can be assumed that differences in metallurgy (composition) and construction introduces a measure of difference. Without taking time to look at what components were used for the test loads, I must assume...

    7mm Rem Mag 160 grain Accubond load

    I should think 0.5 grain increments would be safe. Five percent of sixty-five grains is slightly more than three grains At five grains, you're only increasing in seven percent increments. QL projects that you have room to increase your charge. Cartridge : 7 mm Rem. Mag.(SAAMI)...

    7mm Rem Mag 160 grain Accubond load

    Welcome to the forum. That is a great question. Did you use exactly the components listed in the Nosler recipe? Know that lot-to-lot variation will introduce some variation in muzzle velocity as well. There are other variables introduced in different firing systems that aren't immediately...

    Quite a morning.

    The trip from Canmore to Hinton via the Icefields Parkway is one of the world's most beautiful drives. Travelling through Banff, Lake Louise, and Jasper takes one through some scenic country. The trip from Hinton to Grand Prairie is also quite beautiful. The Wm. Switzer Parkway travels...

    Quite a morning.

    Yeah, it was pretty gut wrenching to see the north of the town site essentially erased by fire. Though the church I pastored and the townhouse we lived in was spared, it was devastating to see homes of people we knew gone. And the flames torched portions of the Jasper Park Lodge, a veritable...

    Lovely work. I have no doubt as to its efficacy as a "deer" slayer. I am concerned about it being used as a "dear" slayer, however. :oops:

    Good looking meal. Where'd you eat? There weren't many of our old haunts open when we were there a few weeks ago.

    Quite a morning.

    Yeah, everyone is afraid of rifles. And that's only grown worse under Mr Trudeau. I used to live in Jasper National Park, and even though I had Park wardens in my congregation, they were artsy about my rifles.

    Back in the saddle

    I'm under no illusion that the President elect is infallible in his selections to fill various posts. However, in his last go round, he did manage to dump some of them pretty quickly. Perhaps he learned from his failures. We'll see. Admittedly, he dumped some appointees who were highly...
