Well it wasn't my grand daughter that got the first deer of the season but rather her mother. My oldest daughter got a nice 4x5 this afternoon. We decided that with the storm moving in tonight that maybe this afternoon would be the time, which turned out to be right. We went out west of town to...

Very well done JD. That should make for some tasty vitals this winter. For the past few days I have been hunting with my new to me 7-30 Waters Contender but no luck so far. Larry

Wow, you have had quite a season. Congrats on a great season. Yep the .30-30AI in a Contender Handgun and 125gr. Nosler Ballistic Tips go together like ice cream and apple pie. It just don't get no better than that. Larry

In the last several years I have had a couple Ruger .243's. I never did get them to shoot anything as well as they would shoot 95gr. Nosler Ballistic Tips. The next best thing I found was 70gr. Nosler Ballistic Tips. Larry

Thanks for the great story. Congrats on calling in a really nice Coyote for your father in law. I bet he was a happy camper. Larry

WTG Rod. Sounds like things worked out quite well, well not for the buck I suppose. In my younger years "getting my deer" was the all important. Funny how things change as we grow older. Heck I enjoy watching deer as much or more as I enjoy shooting deer. In fact that is what my season has been...

A few years back I made a rest for a buddy or mine to use with his Encores and Contenders. This rest consisted of an old camera tripod and a piece of plastic sheeting 5/8" thick. First I removed the top from the tripod leaving just the center tube sticking up. I then afixed a piece of threaded...

A few years back I had a Ruger KM77RFP MKII in .243. I got my load from a guy on this very forum, 95gr. Nosler Ballistic Tips loaded with H-4350 (I'd have to look up the charge weight). That load in that Ruger was just amazing. I think the largest 3 shot group I ever fired at 100 yards from the...

I am loading 165gr. Nosler Ballistic Tips & Partitions in my Remington 20" .308 with Hodgdon's Varget. Muzzle velocity for the 20" Barrel is 2612 FPS for the 165gr. Nosler Ballistic Tips and 2620 FPS for the 165gr. Nosler Partitions. I use the same exact powder charge with both bullets (it just...

CONGRATS. Ah yes the mighty .30-30AI with 125gr. Nosler Ballistic Tips. Yes it is a deadly combination for sure. I have used that cartridge with that bullet myself a time or two and my cousin still uses the .30-30 AI with 125gr. Nosler Ballistic Tips. I have yet to find a Deer that can walk...

Thanks guys. What ca been up to Nodak? I tried calling you the other night but didn't get anyone to answer. I'll shoot you an email. Larry

Congrats, on a job well done. That must have been a rush for you (but not for the Coyote). Larry

Have your buddy try 55gr. Nosler Ballistic Tips with H-4895. I am half way between starting and max per Hodgdon's data on their web site. I load these in Military LC Brass with Remington 7 1/2 Primers. I have shot this load in over a half dozen different AR's and it shoots under an inch for 5...

Both of my AR's are 1 in 9" Twists. The 65's are shooting 1" or slightly less 5 shot groups. My best effort was a single 3 shot group at 100 yards in which all 3 were touching. Unfortunately I have not been able to duplicate it since. I read a post on another forum about a guy with a Savage 1 in...

I actually load 180gr. Nosler Partitions for a couple buddies .30-06's. Both rifles shoot the best of the loads I have tried so far with 56.0grs. of IMR-4350. I haven't tried H-4350 with the 180's but use it for their .30-06's with 150gr. Nosler Ballistic Tips with great results. Larry

THANKS GUYS. For some reason for the last several years this time of year I have found it much more productive to just cruise the backroads where the combine are rolling than to set up and call for some reason. I guess the Coyotes are just getting pushed around with the harvest. It also helps...

I've been going out after supper driving around this week. Our weather has been great and the combines are rolling non stop. The crops are disappearing FAST. With that said this time of year with the Crops disappearing the critters are on the move. My main purpose has been to do a little...

I too use either H-4350 or IMR-4350 in the .30-06 with both 150 & 180gr. Bullets. Larry

Thanks guys. Hunting with members of my family is how I grew up hunting. It is not only tradition for me but a way of life so to speak. I couldn't imagine not hunting with members of my family. Even the first times I ventured to western South Dakota to hunt Pronghorns my wife hunted with me...

We had the first test of the Youth Loads for the .308 today. My Grandkids, Wife and I went to the shooting range today. I brought along 17 - 1 gallon milk jugs filled with water and 3 - 2 liter pop bottles filled with water. The goal for today was to have my 10 year old grand daughter and my...
