Am not too interested in a woodland caribou type hunt. I have hunted moose in NF and know outfitters there that can accommodate. Perhaps I'm a few years too late for a fly-in drop camp hunt for barren-ground caribou...

Quebec caribou hunting is completely shutdown? Not looking at NF. If go back there it will be for moose.

Glad you got it sorted out. WipeOut works great w/o a lot of fuss.

Leaving from Va. Should have explained better knowing all the western guys here. Looking to go straight north.

I'm looking for recommendations for an outfitter for a Canada caribou hunt for 3-4 hunters in 2019/2020. I I appreciate any help.

My question would be how many rounds and what bullet(s)? Sweets, CR and Wipeout will all work as will scrubbing it out with JB. I personally would go with Wipeout. The root cause is likely a rough bore. The JB can fix that once the fouling is gone or you could go the fire lapping route.

That's a heck of a bolt knob!

I'm not a "dial spinner" when I'm hunting either. I do have a B&C reticle on my '06 with verified drops. With better bullets today than years past it is feasible to drop down in weight but that wouldn't be my personal inclination on elk. To me, a handful of yards way out there isn't worth the...

I can't believe a 165 at 2900 would be any better than a 180 at 2700 on an elk. I use the 180's in my 30-06. Haven't hunted elk with that load but have put down many large (300lb+) south Texas hogs and have yet to recover a bullet and the hogs drop pretty quickly. Hogs aren't elk but they're a...

If you are going to buy some powder check out TAC and the Vihtavuori line. I have yet to use TAC myself but will get around to it. I won't post data as I'm using an unpublished load of N133. There is load data for N135 that i have used and it is an excellent choice for the 358. I only used N133...

"The powders that produced the most velocity from the rifle barrels, also produced the most velocity from the pistol barrels. Ditto...

Well if you are looking for a 358 it's likely cheaper than a new BLR. Don't have a lot of choices for production rifles in 358. They are not common on the used market but they are out there occasionally. As far as the Frontier... I believe that was just a 16.5" barrel with the option for a scout...

With only one or two exceptions, all my bolt guns are Rugers and the 358 cartridge is the only caliber I have more than one rifle chambered in. Having said that neither of these really interest me. If I didn't already have a stainless synthetic Hawkeye in 358... maybe. And I prefer wood & blue...

Understand. Those ribs generally don't come off easy from the factory. Glad you've got it sorted and she's got a shooter. Older style longish tube scopes and long oculars help on getting the eye relief set on #1s. I have a Bushnell 3200 3-9x50 with a rear offset on my 270Wby 1B and have...

"the scope rail was just ever so slightly bent upwards just ahead of where the rear scope ring attached, and the new offset ring made the rear of the scope even higher than before." That's a new one on me. Any idea how it got bent? Are you sure all your rings are "Ruger" Ruger ring mounts...

Not a wits worth of difference between the 270 & 7MM Wby. The 270 was the first :wink: . I would lean to the 340 or 375 for the heavier 2nd choice, favoring the 375. The 378 just seems too much of a "good thing" :shock: ... Definitely more than I would want. I also agree with rodell, a 300 for...

I have a few K31s... They are fine rifles.

Bulk version is used in a lot of Win factory ammo. It's in the same speed range as the 4350s so it works in many cartridges. I don't have a 7-08 so I can't specifically help you there. Temp sensitivity always comes up with ball powders. I think it is an overstressed issue in most cases - no pun...

I use the Lee FCD on all my hunting ammo, which is basically all my ammo, for a few reasons. I don't understand the comment on leaving cases longer. I run cases through the trimmer every time to minimum. It is important that they are all trimmed to the same length if you are going to crimp.

Just because I've made the most meat with them... 225gr Partition -.358Win 180gr Accubond - 30-06 & 300WSM I haven't tried the 260gr Accubond in my H&H yet but have seen it work on medium and large game out of a buddy's 375Ruger. That and 257 BTs for a finicky Ultra Light Roberts are on the...
