    2025 Nosler Bullet Wish List

    This ^^^^^^^^^^. My annual request is for a 400gr-425gr Partition for the 45-70. It would make most other bullets obsolete.

    Favourite 308-Based Cartridge?

    I have made more one-shot kills with my 22-243AI then with everything else I own combined. Unbelievably fast and accurate.

    Blind Date

    Let the good times roll ! My youngest grandson is 5 years old. He frequently asks his mother if he can sleep at grandpa's house. If it's a school day, so he is told - No. That little dude just cries and cries. LOL I don't spoil them because that's grandma's job, but we sure have fun together...

    Why No Love for The .308 Winchester

    Several years back, I got quite exasperated by burning out custom barrels. The cost of frequently rebarreling was beginning to bother me. I told my gunsmith to build me a rifle that would shoot great every time I picked it up and would NOT quickly burn out the barrel. He built me a .308. With...

    I Messed up on Ear Protection

    Related story: I occasionally bring my brother to the range to punch holes in paper. He's not really a shooter and the two rifles he owns I bought for him. For a short while, I had two pairs of Sordin OTH (amplified) hearing protection, so I let him wear a pair. He told me that he was hearing...

    Multiple Rifles Out at the Range Yesterday

    I agree with SalmonChaser. It's actually difficult to get a modern rifle to shoot groups that exceed 2"-3".

    I Messed up on Ear Protection

    Sounds enters the audio canal (or whatever you call it) from all around your ears, not just through the opening. Over-the-head protection is far better than anything that you put into your ear. A comprehensive hearing test includes detecting sound that does not directly enter the opening in your...

    I Messed up on Ear Protection

    I just recently started wearing custom molded plugs (w/no electronics) under my Sordin over-the-ear protectors. It makes a BIG difference when you wear both. The only down-side is that you become uniquely unaware of the things around.

    Nuts, for the truck

    People should have better discretion so that laws aren't needed to control their public displays. If you just need to hang a scrotum somewhere, how about your living room?

    Should I? 6.5x 280 AI

    Most of us don't have a safe full of rifles because we "needed" them. We have them because we "wanted" them. It sounds like you want a 6.5-280AI. so go for it.

    powder profile , Grand

    I just loaded up some Grand in my 280AI. I decided to use magnum primers with the ball powder rather than the Fed 210M primers I normally use. We'll see how things work out next week when I get to the club.

    280ai 168ablr powder choice

    I had no problem getting 2,950fps with Berger 168gr and IMR7828sc in a 26" Bartlein. There was still some room for growth.

    Which open tipped bullet do you have experience with taking game....

    Not what you asked but might be helpful: A guy just posted for sale the perfect bullet for the 300WSM over on LRH forum. He's got 15 boxes of .308 180gr Accubonds. IIRC he's asking $40/box and will ship for free if you take 4 or more boxes. That should take care of the supply issue.

    New Bulldog 44 SPCL

    I shot a S&W model 29 with heavy hunting loads fairly often. While the recoil was noticeable, I got used to it. A friend of mine had a Charter Arms Bulldog and asked if I wanted to try it. Never one to turn down an offer to shoot a new firearm, I said "sure". One cylinder full of his ammo and I...
