    250 gr 9.3mm BT

    Hey Nosler, Please bring back the 250 gr 9.3mm Ballistic Tip. I promise to buy lots of the them for practice and shooting lighter game. The AB is just too expensive to buy for practice. I think you'll make plenty of money doing so. You already have the tooling for it; right? Alan

    6.5 x 47 Hunting Rifle

    Elmer, That stock is going to be incredibly beautiful. I honestly believe it's going to look better than my Pre 64 M70 stock on 257 Roberts. I shoot two 6.5x47's; both have 26" barrels. My competition/sniper rifle uses the 130 Berger VLD, CCI 450 primers running 40.8 gr of H4350 for...

    Brown/Grizz, Yukon Moose, or Dall Sheep?

    No one is getting younger. I'd do a sheep hunt that would give you as much leeway to punch a moose and/or bear if one came along. The North slope would be my pick of areas. Alan

    45 colt

    Both H110 and Lil'Gun will work great with the heavy 45 cal bullets. I've pushed the 335 gr LBT WFN to 1150 fps with book max load of Lil'Gun in the 4-5/8" NMBH and took a 62" bull moose @ 15 yds in Alaska in 2008. I now use H110 for my 285 gr LBT WFN and run it around 1200 fps. And yes, the...

    35 Whelen and IMR 8208 XBR

    I don't own nor have shot a 35 Whelen. I've owned and currently own the big brother to the 35 Whelen, the 9.3x62. I tried IMR 8208 with the 250 Accubonds and had excellent results, accuracy wise, with the combo. But the velocity, compared to Varget, was not there. Alan

    257 Partitions, 115 gr vs 120 gr

    On my quest for the Holy Grail in my new 257 Roberts; 1:10 twist, 24" Krieger. Starting to wonder about the 115 and 120 gr Partitions. Other than the obvious 5 gr difference, .002 BC difference and .011 SD difference, what would help a guy decide on one over the other. My intended quarry is...

    If you could build a dream rifle, what would it be?

    Dr. Mike, Just sent you a PM asking you a question how your IMR 8208 and 100 e-tip combo worked. So far I've been really focusing on the e-tips as I had purchased 600 of them. My CED M2 chron was not working for a couple of range sessions so some of my results are inconclusive. Also, I...

    Old #7, If the 'smith who did the work, did it correctly, their should be .004" crush fit........that's the beauty of the AI. That's why I'm taking it with me to Alaska this Sept for Grizzly......if the airlines loose my ammo, I'd still be able to buy standard 30-06 ammo and have my rifle up...
