At that distance, some might say that if you happen to be shooting Sierra GameKings, then you will need to back up a couple hundred yards.

With no disrespect to the 338 Win, I've always thought that the Norma was the perfect elk cartridge.

The way you roll in and out of them, a simple C note will suffice. :lol:

IMR-4831 with the 145gr Speer boat tail was my favorite load for many years, B.C around .5 with a muzzle velocity around 3000fps. IMR-7828ssc is a real charm with 150gr and heavier bullets. Like the 270 and 30-06, it's hard to argue the capabilities of the 280 Rem in just about any hunting...

Just buy it, for you won't come across another one as nice, chances are.

Are you asking me to lie to you? :lol: You may not need it, but I think it would be a fun rifle to own and shoot. Does that help?

+1 on the IMR7828ssc with the 100+gr bullets. That looks like a fun rifle!

Since the western side of Washington and Oregon only yield opportunities at a legal bull about every 11 years or so on average, I'd not let a little fern prevent me from attempting to eat backstraps that I've so craved for the past decade! Sure, I'd like a better shot than pic #1, but I'd...

Brass is way too affordable to be forced to use sub-par pieces or pieces that you don't know the full history of its use. The only brass that I use is brass that has been loaded by me, and only me, since it was new.

Lefty, tell us more about the rifles and loads you used. I'm particularly interested in knowing the details about the No. 1. I couldn't be the only one with such curiosities.

Nice thinking! A guy needs to take advantage of any leverage he may have, actual or dilusional. :wink:

I believe that's known as "Bubba'd" to the shooting public. Sorry to hear about such a poor experience. At least you got some cash out of the deal to put towards another project. I know someone who has a nice M70 in the classifieds. :wink:

I agree with your assessment of the Pre-64. I would question how this rifle feeds the fatter Wienerboy Roy cartridge and if any work has been done to the feed rails. And what is up with a Winchester trigger that has a little creep? I thought these were the best ever? I've seen much worse for...

Most 'smiths will shy away form the A-Bolt just because Browning uses a thread lock on the barrel from the factory. This has caused more than a few actions to be bent while removing the factory barrel. With that, I have seen several A-Bolts with custom tubes, so I know there are people out...

With that list of cartriges and IMR 4350 as one powder to be used, I'd have to say RL15 or Varget would be a great option for the smaller cartridges and/or lighter bullets in the other cartridges. Be sure not to eliminate too much fun at the loading bench though by handicapping yourself to such...

Those bullets are worthless to hunters. Personally, if the difference in B.C. alone determines whether or not I hit the animal, then I need to get closer. :wink:

"On the next episode of Hoarders..."

I always take several measurements with the Stoney Point/Hornady OAL tool. My method involves taking 3 measurements, rotate the tool 90 degrees-take 3 more measurements, continue this until you have 12 total measurements, each 90 degrees from the next. Think of it as looking at crosshairs. The...

I tried to purchase Winchester, but FN wasn't selling. :lol:

I've been through several WSM's since their introduction and still own 3 in 270WSM alone. I would start with the rifle that feels the best to you and has the best fit. Another thing to consider is the action length. If you feel that having a short action is a worthy advantage to having a...
