That's a great deer! Congratulations! What rifle is that? Ron

I agree with posters about the apparent lack of concern and production from Nosler. I'm sure they have heard similar things from other sources but this is NOSLER Forums so if anyone is listening at the factory why doesn't someone address these issues? If this has been done I missed it and will...

TD284, in a word: FANTASTIC ! Super easy to use, gives all the info you need, and takes up virtually no space. Get one when/if you can. I think you'll be very happy with it. Ron

After lunch yesterday I went to the range to try out some loads and my Garmin chrono. Rifles used were my Tikka T3x Tactical 6.5CM and a T3 Lite 30-06. The Tactical is topped with a Nightforce 8-32 and the 06 has a Bushnell 3-9x Trophy. I developed a Creedmoor load using 147 ELD-Ms and StaBall...

I took my Garmin to the range this afternoon for its first trial. I give it two thumbs up only because that's all I have but I would give it more if I could. Extremely simple to set up and operate, it gives all the data most of us need and in a unit that takes up a minute bit of space on a...

All those groups are great, but man, I love me some 147s. My family and I have had fantastic luck with them in Creedmoors and PRCs. Ron:love::love:

Yeah, Dan, we had a great year. On our small farm (38 acres) we're in the middle of several bedding areas and have grain fields in close proximity. We have some areas of deer habitat on our land as well but mainly we have deer passing through. Regardless, we took 5 does and a buck during...

I ordered one thru Scheels and it is scheduled for delivery tomorrow. Two weeks ago I shot next to a guy at our local range who had one. I asked the same questions and he said it was his first time using his own, but he had shot several times previously using someone else's and was extremely...

UPDATED This past weekend was the opener for Missouri's rifle season. Saturday morning, I shot a doe (no pics) using my Browning BLR in 358 Win using 200 Hornady SP handloads. Shot was about 80 yards and she dropped in her tracks. This was first animal I ever got with a lever action. Sunday...

I was at the Scheels store in Overland Park, Kansas, yesterday and they had Hornady 250 Savage ammo. I think it was $44.95/box but don't hold me to that, I'm old and looked at a lot of stuff. Anyway, if anyone needs some, or knows someone who is, you might check with a Scheels near you or...

I've been seeing the same stuff you mentioned at the LGS's and Walmart in my town. I might add that Walmart had 45-70 ammo for $49.99. They also had (for a few days) a single box of 360 Buckhammer for $26.95. Ron

Can't get much better than that in all regards. Congratulations to both of you! Ron

This past Saturday I bought a new rifle, one of the Bass Pro/Cabelas exclusive model Tikka T3x's in 223. I wanted it because it has a threaded barrel for my suppressor and a 1:8 twist so I can use heavier bullets. For optics, I mounted a Vortex Viper 6-24x50. I took it to the range last...

Today was the first day of a new 3-day antlerless season in Missouri. My Tikka T3x 270 Win using Norma Whitetail 130's convinced these does to get in the Mule and lie really still. The hunt was on my farm and both were shot about 85ish yards. Very pleased with the Norma ammo on paper and...

Thanks, guys. Blkram, I haven't had the opportunity to chrono the load. It's out of the Hornady manual and, based on their info, plus variables (barrel length differences, etc), I'm guessing 2450ish. Ron

After work yesterday, I made a quick run to the range to get some rifles ready for our early antlerless season this weekend. My Browning BLR 358 Win put three Hornady 200 spire points in .61, two in virtually one hole. The load is 46 gr H322 in Lapua cases ignited by CCI 200 primers . The...

If you don't do it and someone beats you to it, you'll be regretting it for days....ask me how I know. GO! Ron

I've loaded 120 BTs with it for my wife's Tikka compact for a long time. Very accurate, but the deer aren't fond of the combo. Ron

JD, it was all Remington brass in the original box from the 90's. 338, it's a Shooting Chrony. Nothing fancy or elaborate.

Well, I did a fast chrono session tonight after work. I got velocities of 2655, 2600 and 2555 (in that order). 2603 average,ES of 99.77, SD of 50. The first two velocities are where I anticipated it to be, but not the 100 fps gap. I measured each powder charge before dropping it into a case...
