Nice! You're having a great year!

Honestly, I wouldn't hesitate to use your 130 gr BT load for red stag at the distances you stated. While I have only taken one red stag to date, I did it with the 6.5 Creedmoor and the 130 gr Terminal Ascent bullet at 2855 fps at the muzzle, and it produced a one-shot kill on the red stag at...

I have used the 220 gr Hot Cor on a few elkelk, and they work great!

Turkeys have great senses from what I have read and seen on many shows, and their hearing and eyesight are keen. No sudden moves is a good start, but they will catch movement, even when slow if not otherwise distracted. As affirmed by others here.

Keep in mind that hunting shows and posts only show a few moments to approximately 13 minutes of film during a half hour program. It does not show the hundreds or thousands of edited minutes of film it requires to get those few moments and minutes that are aired.

Hunting is a game of patience and persistence. And it is a learned skill. This means it takes time! And without the time and effort put in, you will not learn to appreciate the wins as much when they are actually accomplished. As mentioned above, a change in perspective can make it more...

The Partition is an excellent bullet with proven performance on game, and was one I also considered before answering. And I have not had many issues with obtaining good to excellent accuracy with it. In the end, I chose the AccuBond, for its edge in accuracy, ease of use in finding good loads...

I attended a local gun show today, and on one of the tables, there was some of this ammo for sale. I thought about grabbing a box to try it in the Marlin 336 that I got for Susan. I tried to look it up tonight, and it looks like Federal doesn't even offer it anymore, and could not find a lot...

I came across a Youtube podcast this evening by The Big Game Hunting Podcast, titled 388: 25 Creedmoor - A triple Threat Cartridge with Richard Mann. Near the end of the podcast, the interviewer asks a very interesting question: If you could choose just one cartridge or bullet to hunt with...

I guess that I am old school enough that I still prefer to read manuals...but as mentioned above, I also like the write ups about the various cartridges in the manuals, and the fact that every new manual, the write up is by a new author. Gives more perspective and experience about various...

Happy B'Day! Hopefully that expended bullet was taken from your collection of recovered bullets from successful hunts!

Sounds like the dehumidifiers are not as effective in a full safe where parts of the safe, or the areas on an upper shelf, that do not get the same air circulation within the safe for proper effectiveness and efficiency for humidity control.

I have not heard about the thickness of the jacket on the 220 gr SGK, but I know that they (Sierra) beefed up the jacket on the 215 gr 338 SGK for better weight retention and reliable penetration on larger game with the additional velocity of the 338 Win Mag. I would think that they would have...

Sharpen your knives, the rifle's ready!

Looks like you have a winning combination for whitetails out as far as you are comfortable shooting. Best of luck!

The LH X Bolt is shooting the Federal 175 gr Terminal Ascent ammo well...averaging 0.757" groups at 100 yards at 2570 fps. 2.2" high at 100, zeroed for 200, and down 9" at 300. Retains 1996 fps at 400 with 1547 ft lbs of energy and a drop of 25.7" Will continue to practice with it for the the...

At least you know what you did in error and can/did correct it. Always a good thing!

Correct me if I'm mistaken... Isn't vertical stringing action screw torque, and horizontal stringing is bedding?

I bet it is a "blast" to shoot! :LOL: What powder(s) are you using? Most of my load data is for Re-15. I loaded the Speer 350 gr Mag Tip in my first 416 Taylor (right handed) and it did fairly well...unfortunately, I have lost that data that I obtained from a Barnes technician...but I found...

I think the 338 Win Mag is to North America, what the 375 H&H is to Africa. Hard to beat that type of performance comparison!
