I also use Nikon's Spot-on. It is free. Just pick any of their Nikoplex reticles. It will work with any plex reticle.

The 140 grain Accubond seems a bit light for anything much larger than a deer. My friends and I have been using the 160 gain Accubond on everything for years. We have taken about 25 moose with it. It also works great on deer and elk. We don't like resighting between seasons, especially when elk...

The right hand trigger for the model 700 by Timney, Rifle Basix, and possibly others works just fine in the left hand model. You just have to reuse the safety and possibly counter-sink the safety hole.

Hope you meant you bought each of them, not all they had. That would be why we are having a shortage of powder.

This smacks of a monopoly. Time for Uncle to step in and break them up. Should not have been allowed in the first place. The only competition is part of a different market, not real competition.

Back when the post 64 model 70 came out, Winchester put out some stocks that had not been properly cured and warped terribly. My friend had one in which the fore stock clearly was pressing on the left side of the barrel resulting in 100 yard groups the size of basketballs. We kept relieving the...

Guy, the pictured bull appears to be 2 1/2 years old. Roosevelts seldom get a chance to get any older. If they do. they will often form a crown at the end of the antler like a Red Deer. Of all the Roosevelt bulls I have killed, only one has such a crown, and then only on one side.

I have been using both Reloader 22 and 23 with the 160 grain Accubond in the Rem 7mm Mag with very good results.

Go with Ballistic Tips if you plan on hunting just deer, Accubonds if you plan on anything bigger, I have taken lots of deer, elk, and moose with Accubonds and they have never let me down.

Nice shooting. A piece of black plastic electrical tape over the end of the barrel will keep all that rain out without affecting a shot. Ask me how I know.

Hodgeman, Following your line of reasoning, as velocity goes up efficiency goes down. Using the same cartridge and bullet but adding more powder to get more velocity will result in less efficiency. Since the energy of the bullet goes up with the square of the velocity, doubling the velocity...

Hogeman, You are comparing apples with oranges. Energy goes up with the square of the velocity. If you are going to compare the efficiency of a case based on the energy of the powder burned, then you have to compare it to the bullet energy produced, not the velocity. Short fat cases, for...

I don't sight in for a specific distance. SJB358 sights in for three inches high at 100 yards which is close to what I do, only I sight in 2 !/2 inches high at that distance. For everything from a 30-30 to a 300 mag, that maximizes the distance you will shoot within three inches above or below...

I think you will find that RL23 more nearly duplicates RL22 while giving the benefits of RL26 which is slower and more like RL25.

My friends and I have killed a bunch of moose with both the 7mm mag and the 338. I have yet to see a moose that was impressed by either. They have a slow nervous system, and while they are not all that hard to kill, unless you hit something like the spine, they are slow to go down. Like most...

This happened today. My partner shot a bull elk as it passed at about 15 yards. Unfortunately the near leg was back when it struck and he caught the shoulder blade. It only penetrated about three inches. Lost elk. I have had the same experience. I once had to do a follow up shot on an elk with...

Back when nothing slower was readily available, I used 4350 with 160 grain bullets in my 7mm mag., but it is a little quick to be ideal. When IMR 7828 came along, I switched to it and in recent years I have gone to RL 22. The favorite bullet in the 7mm for my friends and me is the 160 grain...

Once the finish is removed, a damp wash cloth and a hot iron will help raise any dents.

My friends and I have been using the 160 grain Accubonds as our go to bullet for everything since it came out. We have taken several deer and over 25 moose with it. Yes I load them with 65gr of RL22. I haven't mentioned elk as we have been bow hunting for them. However I have used the old solid...

I killed several elk and deer with 7mm Nosler solid base bullets. Once loaded they could not be distinguished from the partition and seem to work equally well. The ballistic tip is basically the solid base with a plastic tip, but they open more violently and thus give different performance...
