"SOMEONE" has to buy that stuff ...

Bansner builds a right fine rifle although I have not hunted with one - I have stopped in at their booth at the SCI convention until in '09 when a "high pressure salesman" stepped up while still in the isle and began "dickering" with me, offering down payment options, terms and such - HONEST TO...

make 'em better ? adjust them or have a smith that knows Rugers do it - the tang safety 77's are atrocious but can be huntin' rifle adjusted well enough

one man's trash is another man's treasure - "off the beaten path" is a very subjective term as witnessed by "375 H&H ? maybe in AK or Africa but not here in central WA" ... if THAT doesn't speak to the subjectivity of the topic nothing ever will and IF you are using ammo availability as criteria...

post, post update on FedEx - they shipped the wolf pelt BACK to BC and have washed their hands of the whole issue leaving me to try and figure out how to navigate with US Fish & Wildlife since they first ILEGALLY took the package out of Canada and then ... ILEGALLY took it back and left me...

UPDATE: FedEx has told me they have the problem "resolved" with US Fish & Wildlife and my wolf is on it's way to me with no additional charges as it was their mistake - IF that is truly the case then FedEx has redeemed themselves in my eyes

PacNor does an outstanding job with their barrels - they've been doing it long enough for sure ... I don't know at what stage PacNor hands off the barrels to Nosler but whatever the arrangement it appears to be a good "marriage" of workmanship and skill

good LUCK all you ... "elk hunters"

are you graduating downward until you find a combo that just wounds an elk rather than killing it ? why don't you "experiment" on rockchucks ??

good to hear from an "insider" as I was told that they weren't "private contractors" but owners of an area franchise - I have a couple of "horror" stories from FedEx but then that can happen in virtually any situation - when I lived in Enterprise OR I had a FedEx driver leave a rifle in a rifle...

So, did you ever best the RL-22 groups ? I personally don't see anything lacking in the first groups you posted but that's just me ... 3150 is pretty darn good for a standard case

RL-17 was developed fairly specifically for the WSM line of cartridges and though it may work ok in the 7mm/08 I think RL-15 may be a better choice

for 35 years now if the load will be used for elk (as in elk SEASON) then I use 215 primers

Most of us have found that the WSM factory brass is very uniform and darn tough - I would bet that part of that is because WW wanted these WSM cartridges and the rifles to sell well so they have taken extra pains - I encountered a sizing challenge with the 325 nickel plated 1x fired, be sure to...

GunBroker.com is a good place to buy and sell - you will have to join but it's no big deal -selling costs a nominal fee and buying is no charge - they have rules for shipping but I have bought & sold dozens of guns on gunbroker and never once had a problem - avoid using paypal with any kind of...

from an anecdotal (sp) view "wind drift" means shooting and watching where your bullet strikes and then correcting for it - you can use "equations" til the cows come home but in a hunting scenario you will never be able to ascertain with any certainty what the wind is doing "way out yonder" -...

Never meant to imply that these triggers don't work good, they mostly work great as long as the conditions are "fair weather" - My complaint is with the enclosed trigger mechanism itself, enclose something with alot of inner mechanism like a watch or a trigger. add moisture of any kind (rain...

"TRIGGERS" .... now here is a "can 'o worms" ... I have to throw my $.02 in here because to my antique way of thinking, the original model 70's and Mauser '98 triggers were the best system ever devised - Timney has always made an outstanding system, Jewell has set the "standard", I'm not very...

just for clarification sake the point should be made that PacNor "finishes" the barrels, the "barrel blank manufacturer makes the barrels, it is common practice for several barrel "makers" and/or gunsmiths to go together to purchase a "lot" of barrel blanks which normally come in 1" tubes 30"...

IF you're not trying to measure for a competition or somethin' like that there it is just as easy to measure from the outside of one hole to the inside edge of the farthest hole and THAT will give you a pretty good assessessment of the "group"
