The weekend was surreal in the NHenry household.
Friday’s workday went without any problems. Got home at 5:40, drank a quart of water, planned to go on a walk with my daughter and very pregnant wife.
Before we actually went on said walk, at 6:37 my wife started having pretty sudden and intense...
Maybe it's just Winchester's old marketing talking, but there is an air of nostalgia in my head when I think of killing everything with a 338 win mag. Aoudad, mountain whitetail, muleys, mountain goat, etc. I'm going to get a 338 RPM for such tasks. It'll match splendidly with my 280 AI.

Not all Nosler brass is built to the same quality. 25-06 Rem nosler brass is hot garbage. 280 AI nosler brass is OK. 7mm-08 Nosler brass is great. It’s all about the cartridge. They developed the 22 Nosler so I would assume it’s better brass.
You can clown on him all you want but he has good...
I’m actually loving the guy’s no-BS approach to the 7mm thing. Unlike a couple of the guys above, I agree with what he has to say. The 22 Nosler series has been pretty good too.
