    The versatile 30-06.

    I am also an 06 lover, over my lifetime i have 7 or 8 and still own two.. Killed many deer and elk with them over the years. BUT, pretty much whatever you can do with the 06 you can do "BETTER" , with a 300WM or similar. Recoil aside they are a significant improvement over the 06. Using the...

    what credit card ?

    Great post, we travel around a lot, and probably are skimmed at once a year. My wife who is a retired banker, usually has a new card mailed to us and all issues settled within a few hours. She is a pro... I have several cards (to many) that all give money or credits back to us.

    Enough for elk?

    I found this quote after looking for a while this morning. "You should not use a rifle that will kill an animal when everything goes right; you should use one that will do the job when everything goes wrong." -Bob Hagel" I believe this sincerely.

    Neck sized vs. full length size brass accuracy decrease??

    I doubt it's an issue with being new. It's most likely case volume, or as mentioned below neck tension. All brass is not the same some is thicker than others.

    Problem with grouping

    When I started load development with my .308 rem Tactical, I had similar results. It didn't make much difference which powder I used, or seating depth the results were the same. My groups were OK but not what one would expect. I tried several different powders and Lapua, Remington, Lake City...

    168 gr Accubond LR in AR 10?

    I have found the ABLR to be temperamental, and my experience with them is similar to yours. After trying them in three different 7MM's I switched to the standard 160's with better results. Someone else will most likely come along and share their experiences with you. Sorry I cannot be more...

    Enough for elk?

    Shot placement is critical no matter what you use. A high velocity , large caliber rifle can sometimes make up for a bad hit, but it's not something to count on. My last two elk have been taken with a 7mm, 160 AB out of the muzzle at 3000 fps. Both were one shot kills, with both animals being...

    Bullets for a 03A3?

    Already been said. Hawk ( You just have to experiment, and see. But most rifles will like the spitzer flat bases majority of the time.)

    Flat base vs. boat tail bullets

    For targets( limited amounts) with my 308 tactical, I use both Nosler CC and Sierra MK, 168 gr. boat tail bullets. I am consistently shooting dime size or smaller groups at 100 yards. It holds that consistency out 400. I do not hunt big game with this rifle or these bullets. For coyotes I prefer...

    Loading leftovers

    I gave several hundred bullets, cases and other stuff to my elk hunting partners last fall. Some were different calibers than I have, others were some that I would never use. I think mostly .270 and ? They are good to me, if I come up short it they help me. I am beyond buying anything new.

    270 Win vs. 280 Rem vs. 30-06

    Great picture, beautiful, I love the colors. I really love my 280AI its very light weight, and with slick 160 grain AB's at 3000 fps work great.
