This past summer my buddies dad called me and said he had a Rem 700 bull barrel in 6mmRem that can't shoot a decent group and wanted help. I got the rifle and cleaned it really well, put a newer scope on it and took the factory ammo he had to the range. At 100 yards, I shot a 4"/3 shot group. I...
I have a TriggerTech and bullets on the way.
I grabbed some 165 Hot Cor bullets to try as well.
The 30-30 is ready to go with 160 Hornady bullets. That was an easy rifle to get set up.
It has been a while since I've posted. Life has been busy. I want to share my next to reloading adventure with the group.
The first rifle is my dad's Rem 700 Mnt Rifle. He has had it for a number of years and has shot Fushion ammo with good luck. In the past few years, he has been using...
My buddy is looking for a new rifle for hunting out west. He wants to deer/antelope hunt but I know elk will happen someday. He is leaning towards a Tikka but doesn't know what caliber.
I told him to buy a 270 because it is a great round and factory ammo is very common. From there put a good...
As of now, we are planning on hunting the northern part of the Hills unless there is a lot of snow, then we will head south to the Hill City area. Sounds like moving slow and using glass is key. From there is you hit an area that looks good, give it some time and see what happens.
I'm really...
I'm less than 45 days away from my trip to the Black Hills for a whitetail hunt. It will be me and my brother in law hunting the week of Thanksgiving. From everything I read, there are great numbers of deer with bucks around 120-125" being the high average. It is hard to believe that there...
There have been some big bears shot so far in WI. I guess a 10 year old girl shot a 760 live weight. I've heard of a few 500+ bears in the local area.
On a side note, local taxidermist are not taking bears over 350 because they are too much work and are only taking a select number of bears...
After waiting 6 years since her last tag (which she didn't fill) my wife drew a WI bear tag. We set 3 baits in June and had some great bears hitting but like every year the big ones disappeared as the corn and acorns started dropping. The last week before the season we had bears coming in...
Hopefully within the next month, my Tikka 7wsm will be home from Hells Canyon Amory. I have some 150 Partitions on hand along with 160 ELDx bullets. I have RL22 and H4831sc. Any suggestions on what to start with? I would like to get my hands on some 160 Accubonds but SPS has not posted any...
My wife drew a WI tag after a 5 year wait. Season starts September 9th this year. We have 3 baits going but one is controlled by a sow with 3 cubs so we don't bait it as often. The other 2 baits have good bears on them. If she get a chance at one of the good ones, we will need a drag team to...
It should be a fun season. My wife will start it out with a WI bear tag, then we will archery whitetail hunt here in WI. In November, I'm heading to NE for deer and then to the Black Hills for whitetail over Thanksgiving week. In total we have 1 bear tag and 9 deer tags this fall between my...
I have cleaned the gun with foaming cleaner since getting it. I have also checked and rechecked every screw a few times.
Loads have .002" run out and are seated .002". All loads are measured for each round.
