That'll do just about anything you need it to do! The Ruger American that I bought for my grandson, 7-08, is a real shooter! It carries a Meopta scope! The pic is from last Saturday! 150 gr NBT, 46.5 grs of Big Game powder, and WLRP, which is safe in my rifle! Not responsible for "your" use of...
Those Sierra bullets are really good for a conventional bullet, which IMO is all that's needed for any whitetail! Ive never used the 120 gr'er but I have used a few 140 gr GK's. Really good results..
The top pic is where the bullet came to rest, just under the hide!
Found these sectioned 7mm bullets!! They say the 140 gr and 120 gr share the same jacket!! Looks different! With these jackets being extruded I don't believe the 120 is a 140 jacket that is trimmed down. Maybe the same blank just doesn't get extruded to the same length. That would answer why the...
Im not saying that the coyote would not have had some migration into the area but according to our DNR the introduction responsibility sits squarely on those that illegally imported coyotes!
It's the same with feral hogs! These are not the same as Russian boars! Tame hogs that have got loose...
When thy are not native to "your" area you would learn to dislike them!! They got started, in my area by hound hunters importing, illegally, for running pens down through the years!
While I have no disdain for hound hunters maybe my dislike should be towards the illegal culprits that are truly...
I instituted an off season predator trapping regimen on my land about 3 yrs ago. So far it has been paying off! I have had better fawn and turkey recruitment from data off my trail cams as well as better hunting! I understand that elimination is not going to be possible nor am I trying for that...
If all you are "seeing" is .5 to 1.5 gr difference that is excellent consistency. All bullet have a "plus or minus" variation.
I have several hundred first quality, same lot .284 cal 140 gr Nosler BT's and some of those that I have weighed were a grain or a grain and a half off..
I have been wanting to try this powder for some time in my 7-08 so I finally got a lb. Loaded up a few different bullets, 140, 150 gr BT's along with 140 gr Nos Part and 140 gr Sierra GK's.
Some of the powder charges resulted in some flat and slightly cratered primers along with some slight...
I don't have a chrony, I need to get one. I have searched to see if I could find previous QL loads but could not.. I have "found" a couple loads that shoot really well but I would like to know what the estimated pressure and velocity would be with these loads.
If someone would be willing I need...
I run trail cams 24/7/365 and have been for several years. A few years ago on my property I started getting a few pics of coyotes every so often. This didn't seem to be a big deal at the time but oh, it was!!
A couple years ago I got a pics of these stinking yotes killing fawns! I said, "enough...
Check weights are the way to go..I have a 20 gram weight =308.6 grains...50 grams = 771.6 grains. I load nothing that would facilitate my need for anything larger than 50 grams. All thats needed is to weigh those weights and calibrate if needed!!!
I had a Weatherby Vangard, 24 in barrel, that had an affinity for 150 gr BT's and RL-22 powder. It would shoot 3/4 inch, sometimes better, depending on operator that particular day. Not sure why I ever sold it!!
Been doing a little load development with my 7-08. I shot Sierra bullets many moons ago but gravitated to being a Nosler fan and have been for many, many years. Below is a load I put together the other day!
43 grs of Varget
WLR
140 gr Game King
Win case
2.760
Just a bit under half an inch...
I've had my 280 the better part of 20 yrs. It will shoot just about any bullet/powder combo but it really has an infinity for the 150 gr Nosler and the 154 gr SST's. My 280 has caused the demise of roughly 80 to 90 SC whitetails over those yrs. Most of those with 150 gr Nosler bullets.
The 280...
I have several good loads already for the info below but I would like to know where they stand as far as pressure and velocity..
7-08, 22 in barrel, RL16, H414, 140 gr Nosler BT and Partition, Winchester nickel and Fed cases, WLRP,
280, 22 inch barrel, RL16 powder, IMR 7828, 154 gr SST, 150...
