I have a lot of Partitions, E-Tips and Accubonds as well. However, I'm gradually working my rifles over to copper bullets and will probably sell the others. Between the excellent copper bullet performance plus lead-in-meat issues, there isn't much reason not to do it. One tank of gas in the...

I've used them in 270 Win, 7mm Wby and 300 Wby, and loaded them in 30-06 for a friend's elk hunt. When they shoot well in a rifle, they generally shoot extremely well. I have had a few rifles (300WSM, 6mm Rem) that didn't seem to like them. I have used them on deer, antelope and now elk. I have...

In the two rifles I used this year for elk, both took "normal" amounts of powder, but got a bit higher velocities. I used MRP in the 7mm Wby with the 146HH, and 7828SSC in the 300 Wby with the 180HH.

I do have both 30-06 and 300WSM, and notice a bit of difference but never find it to be huge. My thought was that it if recoil is the main factor in your choice then I'd suggest smaller than the 30-06.

I'm not sure you will see that much decrease in recoil from the 300 WSM to the 30-06. Per Chuck Hawks it's 3-4 ft-lbs difference with a 180gr bullet. At that rate rifle design will have more effect than the chambering. As noted above, 280AI would be a great round, or 270 Win with a 150PT if you...

I use the 95BT in my 6mm Rem, which is a bit faster than the 243 Win. It is accurate and works exceptionally well. The BT is a much stouter bullet than it used to be. Not a new video, but look at this one:

257 Wby - ULW with a brake. This is by far the best antelope rifle I can imagine. Extremely accurate, minimal recoil, one-shot kills. 7mm Wby - can't shoot them all with the 257, and hits harder. 270 Win - used 2 different Vanguards. Took a 243 Win, didn't end up shooting one. Took a 7mm Rem...

Great job! I'm envious, but also glad to see the antelope numbers increase. This year is the first time in 7 years that we drew 0 antelope tags in WY.

I can't imagine stuffing 86 grains of 7828 into a 300 Weatherby case with a 180-grain bullet. All of the ones here shoot 81.5-82.5 grains, and by 83.5-84 there are stiff bolts and it's at max.

I think I have learned that old scopes are...old scopes. David Petzal noted a few years ago that he's swapped out all of the scopes on his rifles since the year 2000, some of them twice. When I compare the few older optics I have with newer ones, the newer ones win every time. They really have...

I'd swap you my RL-16 for almost anything else in a second. Of course, won't be out your way for 2 more months so you'd have to wait a bit for it.

Speeds are much better from 17 than 16 in my experience. 16 has been a disappointment. Trying 17 in my 338-06 again tomorrow.

Have you tweaked the trigger at all yet, or checked the barrel/stock fit?

Congrats on the new rifle. I have the same model here in 28 Nosler that I'm setting up for a friend's employer. I'm hoping to swap my work for a deer hunt. 😁 The good - highly accurate. My 79 yo father just shot a 0.4515-inch 3-shot group at 100 yards with it, and no brake was installed at...

I have had a Teslong for a few years. If I were looking now I'd buy the newest model that fit my needs. Mine plugs into a USB port on my computer; getting one that connected to an ipad via Bluetooth would be nice if I didn't have a computer on my reloading bench.

The newest app and update screwed up the time and date. I emailed them this week about it, and they told me it is a known issue that would be fixed with "the next update." Knowing them that could be a few years...

I've had very good success with 7828SSC and the 200 ELD-X in my 300 WSM.

I agree. We have a hunt for elk in CO this fall that was booked before this change, but are looking at using our WY elk points next year if they're truly going to move to the 90/10 rule for elk.
