Had a target rifle with vertical grip but never really cared for it. Like conventional style better for target and hunting especially. Guess I'm just more used to it or too stubborn to change :ROFLMAO:

I have a nephew and his sons that live in PA and they don't apply for elk tags. He said it was too much hassle and restrictions. Just going by his word not having really checked it out. He has lived there for over 30 years. If he had started way back when maybe he would have gotten a tag by now...

Congratulations. Details of the hunt and rifle please. What do you do with them as in are they good to eat or what?

Personally, I doubt you will have any problem with lighter weight bullets should you decide to try some with the faster twist barrel. When I was shooting the 6BR with a 1=8 twist it would handle 70-108 gr bullets with no problems.

Started reloading with my brother-in-law when we went halves on a used Bear C press, scales and powder measure. I wanted to upgrade so he bought me out and a got a RCBS Reloader Special 2. Used for several years then got a Rockchucker that's still going strong. If I buy another one might be a...

If you mean by random grains referring to the kernels a couple wouldn't hurt. If there is in fact couple of grains of powder which would be several kernels, then I wouldn't load those cases. Clean and make sure there's none left. If you didn't, I would remove the decapping pin or raise the stem...

The 100gr PT was the best bullet I ever used in the 243 Win.

I called a gobbler across a creek, once. Took little over an hour. I didn't stay vigilant and looked over to my nephew that was with me. when I looked back in the direction that the gobbler had been calling from there, he stood looking at me. He saw me move and was gone back in the direction he...

Have you shot it yet and if so, what are your results?

Use a reloading manual start low and gradually work up. Using a conagraph can help you and save on reloading components by doing a ladder test. If not start about 3 grains below the maximum listed load and load 4 rounds . Then increase the next load by .5 gr then the next .5 gr till you get to...

I've used 150 and 165gr PTs in the 30-06. Does really well. Just for your information the Accubonds do as well as the partitions.

Partitions are designed to expand the front half with the rear half driving thru. I have used partitions in 223 Rem, 243 Win, 25-06 Rem, 270 Win and 30-06 all of them expanded gave more than satisfactory results.

Man after my own heart;)

Public land spring gobbler hunting can be tough and dangerous. Do the daybreak scouting finding where gobblers are gobbling on the roost. DO NOT call to them before season opens that just educates them. That was a real popular thing to do on some public land I used to hunt. Not the wise thing to...

Welcome. Jim has given you good information. I can testify that either the BT or PT bullets are good deer getters. As he said if your rifle won't group the BTs then there is some other issue. Used a 120gr BT in my 7mm08 this past buck season second week on a small buck and it was complete pass...

Big Game powder gives good groups with a 165gr bullet in my 30-06. Another option.

Those are nice reliable semi-autos. Either caliber you mentioned would be good. Both easy to load for in semi-autos. Fellow church member has one in 30-06. He wanted to be able to eat up to the hole without alot of bloodshot damage. So, I developed him a load using H4895 and a Sierra 180gr...

Good shooting. Lot of deer can be taken with that load. IMR4895 has been an old standby in the 308 for years before Varget came along. In my current 308 IMR4895 does well with one bullet but put Varget under it and not so much. Varget with other bullets does just fine. One of the joys of...

I have 2 pistols with red dots and now 1 with a green dot sight. Before red was pretty east to see then before cataract surgery got really hard to distinguish. Have a red fiber optic and green fiber optic on couple of shotguns. Since getting this last Ronin with the green dot I have really...

Excellent shooting Ernie as always.
