    .308 Hornady Match - Hunting equivalent

    If long range is not necessary then the 165 PT, is a great choice.

    Dick's Sporting Goods pulling hunting gear

    I quit shopping there when I found leotards, running suits, tennis rackets and the like. Probably about two years ago.

    First try with Accubonds

    Nice, that should work just right in the Western Oregon country. I see the sun was shining, not a common experience for this time of the year. I looks beautiful.

    Rifle Types...

    Pretty much what you have Guy except maybe not so many. For hunting my favorite has always been the bolt action. I started with a Remington bolt, and while I still have it, I don't hunt it. Targets are the same with a Remington Tactical, plinking is typically of the .223 variety. There is a...

    Need to quit while I'm ahead.

    There is a reason that most now use scopes, and it's not your eyes. Its because they make us better shooters, and hunters. In my life time, I "NEVER" hunted with an open sighted rifle. Even back in the 60's my rifle had a scope. My first big game kill, was in 1961 with a used Model 721...

    Fixed power versus Variable power

    Variable's on all. I got rid of the fixed power scopes back in the 70's. I now have primarily Zeiss and Leupold. The reason is clarity and long distance advantage. When I am hiking and hunting my scope is usually set on five, if in the dark timber, as low as it would go. Trying to pick a...

    Southwest ULR National Record was broken last Sunday

    Rommel, that is beyond outstanding, while it takes great hardware it also takes a great shooter. That is an outstanding accomplishment that few could accomplish. Again congratulations on your win.

    Lube

    I have used the imperial sizing wax for years, it has worked well for me. I do not lubricate the inside of every case. I take a trace on my finger and run it across the mouth, of about every third case. I have never had any problems. I just load them and fire them.

    Lookin for tips

    How about a right handed rifle with a scope? She can apparently adapt to shooting with her right eye, a scope should improve that.

    paul--- Generally they are gray, but they also produce them for cartridge manufacturers in red. I have used both, and both are the same.

    308 win 165 grain and RL 15

    I am loading 44.5 in my Remington Tactical, with 150's. The loading manuals are usually conservative, but also their data is usually tested with bolt rifles.

    custom rifle build, caliber recomendations

    I do not have specific hunting experience with the 280 AI, but I have one and am really impressed. I am sure its comparable to the 6.5-06 which would also be great.

    Bullet weight selection

    If your sole purpose for the 06 is elk hunting I would be using a premium hunting bullet in 165 or 180 weight for the 06. I am thinking that most 168 gr, .308 diameter bullets, are not made for hunting.

    Charlie is right, I got some red ones a few years, they were mass produced for commercial ammunation. They are all the same.

    Started loading 300 win mag

    Guide--- I have been loading the 300 WM since 1969, it is a traffic cartridge and probably one of the best cartridges for elk available. Recoil is a little stiff, and you do have to watch seperation just forward of the belt. There are no issues with primers, and a CCI magnum primer has been my...
