    Proper Shooting Technique

    Amen to that, Gerry. This is something I am going to strive to do this year. I am on the finishing stages of my load development. Once that is completed, I will be doing this.

    Rush hour in the Kootenays

    Well my wife, kids and the father in law went out for a drive today. Trying to see if our hunting ground is accessible right now with the snow. I might try some shed hunting this year. We took some firewood, and the essentials for a trail side hotdog, s'mores etc. Driving back everyone in the...

    Proper Shooting Technique

    I just started using a bi-pod this year, more for stability for load development, but it seems to have it's benefits so far, I've found. When shooting handguns, I know when I pull the trigger and when i squeeze the trigger. Way better groups. I find I squeeze the trigger more on my rifle than I...

    IMR 4166,4451 & 7977

    It's specific to the West Kootenays. It's a hippy blend. :lol:

    Me too...and I wrote it... LOL. I meant IMR 8208XBR, another powder not affected by temperature. Sorry.

    IMR 4166,4451 & 7977

    Nosler06 has a tonne of IMR 8208XBR and seems pretty happy with it. He hasn't had it long enough to do any temp difference tests, but it works for him. Edit: Wrong product number :roll:

    Longer barrel need slower powder?

    So it has created it's own backdraft so to speak?...Having starved itself of O2.

    35 Whelen clean up (pic)

    wisconsinteacher- how many rounds do you figure it took to get like that? That's a lot of crud there.

    Marlin XL/XS-7's are history

    That's too bad. That's one rifle that was recommended to me a couple of years ago for the wife. I think I will settle on the Savage Axis for her though.

    Hahaha. Notice how I mentioned my wife's moose...it got away from me because of this exact reason- the day before... :(

    Chronograph Input?

    Seeing the other Chronograph thread reminded me of this one... http://www.cabelas.com/product/CALDWELL ... 843418.uts Does anyone have one? Price point is nice, the app seems to be a good feature and most if not all give it 5 stars on Cabelas, (which I tend to base a lot of my purchases on).

    7 Rem. Mag. vs 300 Win Mag.

    Just out of curiousity, how much recoil reduction is there between the 2? I shoot the 300 and am quite comfortable with the recoil. I noticed a different in recoil (which I found to be more comfortable) when I stepped it up to the 200 grain PTs, from the 180's.

    Moose ?

    Or...just bring a fork and a knife, you'll just have the antlers to contend with, then. :lol:

    I finally got my playstation....

    God bless America... It seems you have different powder storage regulations there. I can't remember what our house insurance/Fire regs allow, but it doesn't allow that much. Nice man cave.

    Moose ?

    Well, Guy... The wife shot her moose pictured in my other thread at about 30 yards with my .303 British... that brought him down, but it did get finished off with a 300WM. And as I am writing this...she is laughing because she said she left the truck without the magazine! We were pretty...
