QuickLoad suggests that you should be safe (64,000 psi in a modern action) with up to 66.5 gr of H4831SC with a 160 gr AccuBond (so safe for the Ballistic Tip) in a 24" barrel for 3014 fps (3072 fps in a 26" barrel). If you have an older action, than up to 65.5 gr for 61,000 psi as per SAAMI...

I had my pre-81 BLR in 358 Win out on the weekend. With the upgrade to the VX-R 2-7x33, the new 30mm QRW rings weren't allowing me to adjust the windage far enough to the right. A little machining by the gunsmith fixed the problem and I have her sighted in again with the Hornady 200 gr SP...

Congrats to both on the nice stags!

Congrats on your excellent adventure!

The young meat caribou bull I got yesterday was taken with my new-to-me LH Browning X Bolt All Weather in 308 Win. The ammo was Federal's 175 gr Terminal Ascent that is doing 2570 fps out of the 22" barrel. The shot was double lung at 76 yards and completely passed though the animal. I have yet...

With his accuracy, and that load, when that buck shows up, that deer is in a heap of trouble! Better show that young lad how to sharpen his knives, cause he can definitely shoot!

Some great suggestions above... But as also asked, it would depend on your goals with your new rifle and cartridge combination...deer and bear...moose...elk? The quarter bores (25 cals are fun to shoot) perform well and are easy on the shoulder, as is the 6.5 CM and 7mm-08. If you want to stick...

Got out again today... Got a few more spruce hens, a ruffie, and a sharptail with the 28 ga today. Lots of birds! Got a nice young caribou bull for meat, amd while field dressing it, saw two more about a quarter mile away; one a very nice bull with a beautiful white main. Once we had him taken...

I get 2855 fps with the 130 gr Terminal Ascent ammunition in my rifle's 24" Benchmark 5R barrel (LH Browning X Bolt All Weather). My rifle loves this ammo! It will produce 3 shot groups of 0.291" at 100 yards. My Winchester 1885 High Wall in 6.5 CM also likes this ammo. It produces 2911 fps out...

It's the Sporting 28, and has a very beautiful stock. It has been a pleasure to own and shoot this shotgun over the years, and we have taken our fair share of grouse with it. It does belong to the wife now, that she has laid claim to it. I should have taken my Benelli Ethos in 28 ga along...

"6.5 Bleedmoor" That is the second time I've heard someone refer to the Creedmoor as the Bleedmoor. (to be honest, I am still not sure if it was meant to be sarcastic or not.) The first was our guide in NZ when we arrived for our 2023 red stag, fallow buck and Arapawa ram hunt. She did mention...

Congrats! Her smile says it all!

We managed to get out a couple of days this past week. The weather was pretty nice and we got to see some beautiful mountain country here in northeastern BC. The winds haven't stripped too many of the trees yet, and the stands of poplar and aspen are bright in their yellows, golds and oranges of...

An update on the performance of the Nosler 142 gr LRAB ammunition in my 6.5 PRC: 2921 fps (spec is 2900 fps) from my 24" Wilson 1:8 carbon fibre barreled LH Browning X Bolt Hunter and produced 0.480" groups (average) at 100 yards with an ES of 26.9 and an SD of 12 on a day that was 24 degrees...

Yes, I see that now; .526 vs .529...in a 140 gr .264" bullet, and they have a different tip (Slipstream vs polymer tip). At first glance, I was thinking that Speer had tipped the Deep Curl bullet to make the Impact bullet, and changed the tip colour to distinguish it from the Tipped Fusion...

As with anything manmade, there are going to be times when things aren't what they should be, and they fail. It could be a primer issue... There was a span of time (late 90's or early 2000's, I don't recall exact dates at the moment) when Winchester primers were having issues, both as...

Best of luck! Pretty happy with the new Deathgrip carbon tripos with infinite head. I also picked up their little Deathgrip unit for sitting or kneeling at 50% off at Cabelas on my trip south in early September. Should be light and handy for mountain hunting.

I believe the tipped Impact component bullet is the tipped Fusion loaded in the Federal ammo. Haven't seen any to try in any of my rifles yet...

Memories and that smile = priceless!

After I replaced the stock Remington recoil pad on my LH BDL 338 Win Mag with a LimbSaver, felt recoil was way more tolerable. I went from being bruised and sore after 20 rounds off the bench (Federal Premium 210 gr Partition ammo) to no bruising and not sore after a session of 60 rounds off the...
