Been loading 180 partitions for elk since about 1967 in the 06. I killed upwards of 20 with that combination, most well inside 400 yards. H4350 or Rl 22 worked just fine. I then switched to a variety of cartridges having settled on a fast 33 for elk.
My brother is still hunting with an 06. I...
Not that there is anything wrong with your accuracy I would also like to see what happens with a little more jump. My 338 Jarrett is running 2950 with 250 grain accubonds set .02 off the lands. It did not like more jump. My 300 became 1/2 MOA with .09 jump and 180 accubonds.
I would be very...
There are six of us who have hunted elk together for close to 50 years. There are three 7mm Remington mags, two started with us that long ago, one was a replacement for a 270 that proved a little light on elk a couple times. Between the three 7mags there are a lot of dead elk. 40 perhaps. Quite...
Welcome aboard! I noted you like the less common cartridges. I think there are only 3 or 4 of us who favor the old 300 HH. There is a beauty of a pre 64 model 70 at Shed Horn Sports in Ennis, 300 HH. At a good price. I think that would fit nicely in your safe!
Those numbers are consistent with my experience, particularly with 3 to 8 year olds. Unlike people a shorthair will try to do 35 miles even when old and injured. Then all of a sudden they crump. I’ve learned that the hard way. Depending on cover I just limit the time in the field. I tracked...
I can’t add anything to what’s been said but it looks like a mild winter up there so far. King Salmon and ANC pop up first when I check the weather here in NE Oregon every morning and we’ve been colder here! The bad news is we’ve not been cold enough for long enough to stop a third hatch of pine...
Our nearest neighbors up in Alaska. Great young couple about a mile from our place. Grizz got himself whacked in the backyard right next to the kids trampoline while chasing the dog.
