My suggestion would be a 20 gauge semi-automatic. I personally like the Beretta semis as they use some of the gas pressure to cycle the action which will help with felt recoil.

Not a handload, but the 6.5CM Nosler Trophy Grade 129ABLR ammo worked really well in the GF's Savage Axis II rifle. She took a nice cow elk at 300 yards with it this fall.

I have 5 Rem 700s. When I was in the USAF at Vandenberg AFB, one of the fellow Vandenberg Rod & Gun members was a gun smith, so I had him adjust the triggers. They are all set at about 2 3/4 lbs. 2 of my RUMs didn't want to adjust (set screws got messed up) so he suggested new triggers. 1 got a...

Seems the 300 RUM likes 200ABs with 95gr of Retumbo. Mine sure does. As for recoil, mine isn't that bad, but it's not a light as the one the OP has. Mine has a laminate thumbhole stock on it.

Rifle calibers I have: 22 LR 204 Ruger 223 Rem 243 Rem 26 Nosler 270 WSM 7mm RUM 300 Savage 30-06 300 RUM 30 Nosler 338 WM 338 RUM 375 RUM

As do I for pretty much the same reason.

Finally the 4 year the no harvest curse has been stopped last Tuesday. My GF and I filled our ID antlerless elk tags. On our 6th day of seeing nothing, we went for a drive to sight see another part of the elk zone. On our way back to camp, I was glassing a moose in a quaky patch and just happen...

My 338RUM 250AB load is that way, needs to be 50* or less to shoot that round I developed.

I like the statement that JD338 has in his signature, "Speed sells but Accuracy Kills". That statement is basically how I do my load development. Start with a powder that has the higher listed velocities for that caliber/bullet combo, then work for accuracy.

The Sportsman's Warehouse website show 26 Nosler 140AB and 28 Nosler 160AB as in stock. I know the store here locally has 26 Nosler 140AB on their shelf. Their website also shows 26 & 28 Nosler brass in stock as well.

I'll be heading out using my new 26 Nosler for mule deer and my 30 Nosler for elk. 30 Nosler - 180AB 26 Nosler - 140AB

The die set was bought from RCBS directly last November...

FYI, if you are using a standard RCBS FL sizing die for the 6.5 Creedmoor (probably affects other 6.5 calibers) the replacement decapping/expander part will not fit. The original has the smaller thread rod than the replacement piece. Here's pic of the original and the replacement. Original is on...

Here's what I do. While in camp, a round is in the chamber, but the bolt is lifted so it can't fire, but I can quickly close the bolt as animals can and have either walked right through camp or very close to camp. I'll close the bolt when as I leave camp. Of course the safety is always on till I...

I agree on more is sometimes better. I got my bull moose a few years ago using my 338RUM & 250ABs. He was only 150 yds or so away from me and 100 yds away from my camp. :grin: :grin:

i think Nosler's website says 7lbs.

Fotis, have you found any yet?

While I didn't develop a load using IMR4350, here's my 270WSM 140AB load: 61.5gn RL-19 GM215M COL (tip to base): 2.875" Avg FPS: 3020 It may not be the fastest but it's dang accurate.

Wow, and I thought my 375RUM had a big bullet...... Very nice rifle....

+1 on this. I haven't seen any 375 cal. 260AB in a long time....
