    Marlin XL/XS-7's are history

    Yeah Remington wasn't happy just letting the QC on their 700s go to heck they had to take Marlin down too. A real shame that's for certain!! Buds still has em $325-ish tho?

    90 gr GMX vs hog skull 3350 fps

    I butchered the thing myself but didn't get much look at wound channel since most was in noggin. I did see where it exited the back of the head and entered guts and there was a ton of blood inside chest cavity but the channel mostly dropped out w/ guts. I'd actually thought the bullet went with...

    2015 Hunting Pictures

    My 10 yo Elijah & I just got back from an incredible road trip to Texas for feral pigs. I was returning to Winchester Ridge in Mountain Home just up the eway from Kerrville but it was Elijah's first trip. The ranch is owned by my friend Joe Nagy who is an extraordinarily gracious host. If you're...

    90 gr GMX vs hog skull 3350 fps

    My son & I did some Texas hog hunting, and I was able to put em to excellent use (besides the great food!!) by running a 90 gr GMX through one length-wise. Velocity at muzzle was 3350 fps from my 257 AI, and it impacted the smallish (120 lbs?) pig's skull at approx 100 yds or likely 3000-ish...

    First Buck with the new 6MM-06.

    Jeeze I have to apologize; don't know if it's auto correct or what but I did not mean to post "moronic" but "ironic"! Sorry bout that. The pic of that loaded cartridge makes me feel like when we used to climb the rope in gym class (Garth quote; can't help myself it's true). Friggin awesome...

    First Buck with the new 6MM-06.

    Very nice! I am very intrigued by this cartridge but I have to admit finding it moronic that a guy with your handle has a Rem 700 in 6-06 rather than a Weatherby MkV in 240 ;) ! Very cool. I think I need one...

    Mule deer in the future

    Am on the same quest... Each year I buy as many preference points as I can in as many states as possible. Wyoming is great for reasons already mentioned. Idaho doesn't have a preference point system but has great general areas w/ OTC opportunities useful in years you don't win lottery hunts in...

    64 gr BSB load data for 223/5.56

    This is well timed for me thanks all. I just ordered some 2nds from SPS in prep for my son's 1st deer hunt. He really likes my AR so I am hoping this projectile will shine. What does Nosler list as it's optimal velocity window for expansion/integrity balance? My shots will be short range & I'd...

    28 Nosler

    I want a 338 Nosler myself... I have a Savage long action with that would be PERFECT for it!

    Win 70 PF 280 AI

    I might give em a try if/when I can find em, but not sure what advantage they hold over 150 NBT given my ranges (not over 400). Any chance you'd want to trade some for factory 1st custom comp 168s?

    Win 70 PF 280 AI

    Thanks but there isn't a load there; each group is one shot with increasing amounts of propellent with the respective projectile. 62, 63, 63.5, & 64 gr w/ Speer BTSP on top & TSX on bottom! Never realized how small a variation one could see in such a wide spread! I am even quite positive AI...

    280 AI Load Work/Target

    Excellent group there! I am hoping to have something similar to shot from 140 TSXs & 145 Speer BTSPs w/ RL-22 this week! Is there an advantage of MRP over RL-22? I am not familiar w/ the latter at all; not even sure if we have it around here? Where do you get it?
