I’m recalling the failure to Crome line the chambers of the early M16 A1.

Not quite apples to apples but my brother has killed a couple of elk with either the 180s or 165 out of his 06 at bow hunting ranges as has my BIL with his 7mm RM./160s. No tracking that I recall, they were pretty much DRT. I do recall one mule deer in a big sage brush choked flat we had trouble...

Vince we were to be down there by thanksgiving but the Son in Laws cancer treatment became more complicated. We have stayed to keep tabs on the stock, dogs, farm, green houses, farm stand and most importantly the grand daughter. The kids have to travel for treatment but it appears like the...

Took the gravel into town, found these guys near the bottom of Mt. Emily. They're 1200 yards out so the pics not great

Very interesting.

Well dang, that's pretty good!

I’ll take all the 300 gr pt. If no one else has and one each of the 165 Ab and 180 partitions.

Getting ready for prairie poodles are you?

I load them for one of my brothers and one of my brother in laws. Every year I witness the effectiveness on deer and elk. They are a good bullet.

Picture isn’t great but this loaded cartridge is .01 off the lands and the couple I fired showed pressure. This load was not particularly accurate compared to the load that was .05 off the lands. At .05 off the case mouth pics up one more band and I would guess significantly increases tension on...

Have you checked that over all length (2.870) in your magazine? I havne’t loaded for the 308 since Catherine stole my 275 Rigby several years ago. I ran into the magazine length restriction with her 308 but I don’t have that data immediately available. My experience is you’ll get a little more...

This is why I like RL 17; 100 and 300 yards; 7x57 Mauser; 50.1gr Rl17; 2924fps; 140gr Accubond; 2.5x8 leupold.

Last time I talked to him the feeling was mutual.

Great story great area hell of a good guide.

I saw dies available on a couple of the regular reloading sites at regular prices. Brass as well. Just now on gun broker I found brass at a good price for obsolete cartridges and even loaded ammunition from 5 bucks a round to about 2.25 a round. I honestly can’t remember buying factory ammo but...

It seems like we all are being tested in so many ways right now. Prayers offered for you and your mother’s recovery and that you find help with the repairs. Been there also. Sucks.

Just got an Email from the state of Idaho, we drew a decent elk unit and it’s only about 2 hours from where we live in Oregon. Decent ground it’s work to hunt it but it’s not likely to kill a guy.

Oh, I like that. I used good 3/4 inch plywood when I rebuilt mine four or five years ago and then sealed it with old varnish of some kind. It has not held up, lots of staining, I like the look of what you’ve done. I may have to copy your work.

We, my brothers and I grew up on those 26 inch barrels. Love em.

For me it’s just being out there. Next to Gods grandeur I marvel at the strength of the pioneers. There’s remanents of wagon roads on all those ridgetops, How the hell did they do that? Much of the history in the Oregon country is lost, the old timers I befriended as a youngster are gone, guess...
