When I was younger, raising children and making ends meet I didn't have the luxury of buying many guns. Between reloading and trading was able to try different ones and calibers though. Since retiring I have been buying different guns that have appealed to me. My wife has sometimes said things...

Way to go Guy! Glad your move has resulted in keeping up with your shooting and skills.

I agree with Scotty as not worrying about over twist within reason. Example, first two 6brs I had were 1-12 or 14 twist. Couldn't use any bullet weight over 75 grs. Then went with a 1-8 twist and had some of the Sierra 70gr MKs left as I had moved on to 105-108gr bullets. Offered to a friend who...

Good snag. Each of those bullets are real deer getters. Have used each.

Glad you caught it.

KY might be another option for you. Not sure of the size of bulls that are killed though.

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...
