TackDriver - thanks for linking my video. Much appreciated. I don't load for 38 Super, though that may change... Have been loading for the 45 ACP since the mid 1980's. Back then I used three powders for all my handgun loading: Bullseye, Unique and 2400. Classic handgun powders, but all of...

I do too... Always looking for an excuse to use it. But I'd be equally confident with a heavy or mono metal bullet from the 30-06... Guy

Paul - this looks like your first post on the Nosler forum. Welcome aboard! Pretty friendly and helpful place here. Heck, I've been posting here for nearly 20 years and some folks were here before me, and are still here! Regards, Guy

Dunno much about it yet myself. Mostly I've hunted public land or large cattle ranches in the northwest, but it looks like I may be able to hunt Texas in 2026 and beyond. I'll post up about it here on the forum for sure. Everything I've read about nilgai hunting is that it's done on vast...

If it's not too much trouble, yes, I'd like that. Thanks! Guy

Excellent...

I've liked this Springfield 30-06 my entire life. It was Dad's favorite rifle, built by his father while Dad was still at sea in the Navy for a couple of years after WWII. I haven't shot any serious groups with it recently, but it always did pretty well. I got that old 2-7x Redfield Widefield...

For Oregon I highly recommend: https://aoaoutfitters.com/ Idaho has some great deals for non-resident bear hunters, like $41 tags and a two-bear limit for the spring season! https://cameronoutfitters.com/ I've hunted Oregon elk with AOA outfitters and was very impressed. Hunted spring bear...

This seems like it would be a fun and challenging hunt down in Texas... Are the bulls as tough as I've heard? Like it's best to go at them with deep-penetrating bullets and a reasonably powerful rifle... Is the meat as good as I've heard? Good from both bulls and cows? Thanks for any...

Interestingly, here in Washington I can buy over-the-counter elk, deer and bear tags every year. However, the hunting regs are pretty restrictive. Lots of "spike only" areas and such. A hunter can apply for special tags such as branch antler bull tags, cow tags, rut hunts, etc... Chances of...

Dave, welcome to the forum. I've been happily loading and using the 25-06 for quite a while. Great cartridge! Re powder choice and the 25-06: 1) Reloader 22 is almost impossible to find anymore. Alliant hasn't been distributing for handloaders for a couple of years and supplies of their...

I remember one year, tagging out early on opening day. Initially happiness about success, and then realizing "Dang, the season is over after three hours? Wow..." Also I usually feel some regret about taking the life, and I thank the animal for feeding my family or friends. Regards, Guy

Cole - the 24" Remington is my rifle, the 16" custom is a rifle Gavin built for the shop. I write articles and do videos for UR and get a chance to work with a lot of his rifle builds. He does build an excellent rifle and each that I've worked with has shot well. This 16" 308 that I dubbed...

OUTSTANDING! Best of luck on your hunt. Am looking forward to your hunt report. Guy

What a great rifle!

Cool. :)

Excellent! Thanks for posting, and welcome to the forum. Regards, Guy

Good looking rifle except for that doggone wrong-side bolt.. ;) Congrats on the buck as well. I think those deer figure out you've got a Tikka and know that they're gonners, so they just fall down and die at the shot. Excellent psychological warfare! Guy

Happy Canada Day to all our Canadian forum members! :) Guy

My buddy Gavin builds and re-barrels a lot of rifles. I haven't checked his fees in quite a while now. He must be doing it right as his rifles shoot great! He built a 25 Creedmoor back in 2020 - and it's proven to shoot very well. Sits right between the 6mm and 6.5 Creedmoors - so may or may...
