    Reloading for .45-70

    To answer one of your questions in the OP , the tipped bullets that are of spire point design are frowned on in the tube magazines the theory is on recoil it can set the next one off. I often wonder if it has ever happened ?? Might be a myth busters quest. One of the other reasons if you...

    I have a real good load with the Interbonds already developed. I wanted to load up some of these just to play with, shoot some steel, maybe run some into jugs or wet newspapers if I have time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    most physically demanding hunt

    Some of your guys hunts have left me a realization of how soft and easy in comparison many of my hunts have been. Maybe not the most difficult hunt , but a memorable one for me was a jet boat moose hunt on the Athabasca river. You have to pack just the essentials cause after we got a moose and...

    243win 90gr Accubonds to much for Alabama Does

    If you go into the reloading section here on the forum, then go into bullet tests, then review 6mm bullets. I think the visual evidence can maybe give you reference to the comments above. I'm not sure of the size of the WT Does in your area , but it's not much of a medium on broadside shots...

    Going to British Columbia to chase moose

    I think you will have a great hunt. I wouldn't be worried about using a 270win, but what better way to blood a new rifle? Just make sure your comfortable shooting the 338, especially off hand. Only piece of advice I can further give that hasn't previously been mentioned is to try and get...

    What's the favorite Moose caliber nowadays?

    I've seen moose harvested with a big variety of calibers. From 243-375h&h, even a 500SW. . It seems to me whatever your comfortable with will work. Been a fairly mild winter here and the moose are doing quite well in our area. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ever think of selling most of your Rifles ?

    I don't sell I collect, although most of mine are family heirlooms. The ones that aren't I just like shooting them. I can see why some like flipping guns it's just not my thing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Very interesting Gil!! I have heard of guys fighting over the moose nose. The heart ceremony I find very interesting aswell, appreciation for harvested animals sometimes get lost in the hoopla of the hunt, and as hunters we are part of nature and we should remember to say thank you to the...

    270 Weatherby or 308 Norma Mag?

    My Dad went from the 303 enfield, to a .308 Norma mag sometime in the 60's . He said it killed at both ends.lol. Different times back then I'm sure the rifle just didn't fit him , he then traded it to a gun smith at the time named Bill Cowan, for the 7mm RM he has used ever since . About 50...

    I think what bothers me the most about grocery store prices is that someone in the middle or the store itself is making s big mark up. I work for several ranchers and a few hog farmers , what these guys get for market weight hogs, or 800 lb calves is not huge money. In fact u can buy a hog on...
