Doc, Sounds like fine vittles and great company! V/R, Joe

Any leads on a 100 gr lead-free projectile? I see Nosler only has the 120 e-tip. V/R, Joe

Guy, Congratulations! Best of luck in WA. V/R, Joe

Weidmann dank! I appreciate the help. I hope to receive the rifle soon and then intend to buy dies for it. It pays to be a handloader here, as the KS bullet looks about as aerodynamic as a Cadillac DeVille. With the 250mm twist, I’m not sure what lead-free bullet I could feed it that would...

Congratulations! Looks like fine eating. Can I ask what unleaded bullet you're using? I've seen one from RWS that looks interesting for a 6.5x68. It's a bit light for a 6.5 at 93 grains, at least compared to our usual stateside offerings, but I'm hoping it would work about like an E-tip and...

Doc, That sounds like true mission accomplishment! This young man is producing, not only for himself, but for his family as well, and you can't ask for much more than that. That's a legacy to be proud of, my friend! V/R, Joe

RK, Not to discount what you said, but the partition is THE godfather of bullet performance. They typically expand rapidly and penetrate like no other. That said, bullets do wonky things at the velocities they experience in modern rifles and perhaps it glanced off of the shoulder due to the...

NP, Much obliged and will do! Thank you for the invite! Also, congrats on your recent harvests! V/R, Joe

Thank you guys! I look forward to another opportunity come December. More to follow then! V/R, Joe

Doc! Congratulations! Awesome story and account of the hunt, and great to hear you’re helping and mentoring the next generation! I look forward to hearing how your elk season works out and if your young charges will be able to connect as well. V/R, Joe

Nice work Fotis! V/R, Joe

Howdy Guys! Had an opportunity to hunt at one of the military training areas in Bavaria last weekend and was able to harvest a mature buck and a calf for meat. We lucked out and it was the first hunt of the year and the peak of their rut so they were very active and vocal! It’s really neat to...

Guy, Congratulations! It should be a hoot working up a load and getting her dialed in! V/R, Joe

This is awesome info and thank you for sharing it! What a cool website! You’ve got two great rifles of your own it sounds like. I just found a 1.5-6x36 Hensoldt scope in claw mounts with American style crosshairs that I hope to mount on the rifle. The 7x57 is really a peach to shoot and I’ll...

Thank you guys. It was an absolute hoot! V/R, Joe

Wow! Two great bulls, great friends, and an epic packout. What more could a guy ask for! V/R, Joe

Well friends, we managed to make it happen this weekend above tree line in a snowstorm at a little over 250 yards. It was a steep uphill shot with my friend’s 25-05 with a 1.5x5 scope and those gamsbock are not the largest animals on the planet. The sound of that 117 grain Sierra Game King...

Guys, Thank you for the help! I took it to a local German gunsmith and he got it squared away for me. He took out his channel locks and twisted the heck out of the turret, breaking it loose. He explained that the grease had solidified making it difficult to turn. I used it in Slovenia to hunt...

Howdy Guys, Life’s been busy and we’ve managed to find our way back to Germany for a second tour. I was fortunate enough to complete the German hunting course and obtain my Jagschein. I purchased a Mannlicher-Schönauer GK in 7x57 and finally had the opportunity to shoot it. To my surprise and...

Awesome! I’m guessing the M48 300 WSM strikes again! V/R, Joe
