Thanks guys. A few weeks ago I was pretty well decided that my next rifle would be a 25-06. Yesterday, however, I went in to buy a .338-06 off of the used rack after mulling it over for a few days. It had sold. Before leaving this rifle caught my eye. David, I'm not sure what I'm going to...

Thanks, CC. The antlers were my grandfather's. I haven't had the pleasure of chasing muleys yet.

I joined two clubs today, those of the Whelen and the No. 1.

Does Ruger cut their chambers to include freebore for the Weatherby calibers? If so, maybe you can't get close to the lands by design.

Pat, let us know how it works out for you. I certainly wouldn't be afraid to try some RL-22. I know I've been impressed with it.

Thanks. I gave some thought to the 6.5-280AI. Have you seen a source for dies.. or reamers for that matter? Really, I think the regular 6.5-06 would be enough of a screamer for me, the the 6.5-280 AI would certainly be cool.

Thanks, CC. Reloader 22 is really something in the .270.

The charge for these is 61.0 gr. RL-22 with a COAL of 3.305". I bumped the charge up from 60.5 grains because I thought the cold weather was responsible for the lower velocity I was getting with the AB. Turns out the BT just flies faster than the AB. I'm getting the same MV with the BT at 28 deg...

Thanks guys. This is what makes reloading so rewarding.

I shot one target with the Accubond and one target with the Ballistic Tip today. The fine tuned loads have respective POIs that vary by about an inch at 100 yds. The Ballistic Tip also generates a bit more velocity with the same powder charge. Here are the targets: NBT NAB I think I'm in...

The Cabela's Outfitter binos are the rebranded Steiners I was thinking of.

Some Asian factory that takes on contracts and produces products to provided specs? The Cabela's Euro line is rebranded Meopta and I believe some of their products (can't remember which) are rebranded Steiners.

Looking good. I don't know what I did before I had a my Fat Wrench... actually I do. I over torqued a lot of screws. I never realized how heavy handed I was.

No problem, Scotty. It's a great scope for the money... but I don't think it would do so well in a side by side with your spotter.

I've used it to watch deer in the fields in the summer, but not for hunting. I really don't have any use for a spotter in the type of hunting I do. As I mentioned, the size and weight of this spotter make it less than ideal for hunting. It does provide a surprisingly useful image in low light at...

I've had my Konus 20-60x100 for coming up on a year now and have been nothing but impressed with it. It has allowed me to easily view my targets for the last ten months. I only have two hundred yard ranges at my disposal so I haven't been able to really put it to the test during my range...

I've had similar thoughts about these and a .270 Win. I've got quite some time before my kids will be ready for centerfires, but I think shooting these out of a .270 would be a great option for a young shooter. I should be able to get recoil near .243 levels with a caliber I'm more comfortable with.

I placed my first order for Nosler 2nds tonight. The price of .22 cal 55 gr Ballistic Tips went up $5 a box at the local gun shop. That makes swallowing the shipping pretty darn easy. I got a couple of boxes of 130 gr NBTs as well. I guess I'll be hooked now and checking the inventory on a twice...

Nice shooting, Scotty. There'll be no excuses with that rifle. Though I'm not sure I see you putting the Whelen down to actually hunt with it.

I think Reloader 22's burn rate is quite a bit slower than IMR 4350. In terms of burn rate I believe 4831 comes in somewhere between 4350 and RL22. I've considered trying RL 22 in my .280 after getting some pretty impressive velocities in my .270. I've got a good load with IMR 4350 though that...
