I drew antelope in Wyoming-I think I’ll take one of the .284 family, just not sure which one! Have fun with the scouting process, your hunting area sounds like fun
I’ve had very good success with the 150 ablr BUT it’s in a 7mm-08 at 2750 fps using rl-17, r-p brass and fed 215 m primers. This is the load that is the best and most consistent for me.
I’ve tinkered with this load to death-different powders. Seating depths, Nickel cases, nosler brass etc

Burglar breaks into your house. Do you shoot him with the big bullet or the smaller version-
Both will be accurate for the task at hand and the end result will be the same. So bigger or smaller. . .
Send the scope to the manufacturer and let them know it won’t hold zero any longer. Even if this isn’t the problem it might have a very happy solution. . .
Any chance the throat is getting burned out and the barrel needs replaced?
Your phone will be great for most of your pictures. Talk to your ph and see if you can spend a day at a photography park-elephants and giraffes and all the rest stand and stare while you take thousands of pictures. It’s a great add on to a hunting safari and your new camera will get to stretch...
In utah the “peacekeepers” shot and killed a bystander at the king rally. Some guy smuggled an ak into the crowd and when he pulled it out the peacekeeper shot and missed and killed the bystander. . .
Typically it just goes in a checked back and in an original Ammunition carrier-the box it came in or a plastic ammo holder that is taped shut.
But each airline does have their own rules and the girl at the check in counter may not be familiar with them! Always check ahead of time and I would...
Had reason to look this load up today-my daughters win m70 featherlite with 120 Barnes ttsx. Uses bl-c2 and nickel plated cases.
My rem 700 really likes bl-c2 with 100 gr Sierra hp bullets- a marvelous varmint load in that rifle
Multiple firearms in the same caliber=I keep multiples of 7mm-08 and .30-06.
Partly since I share with my kids and some I use as loaners in case someone needs to borrow a rifle. For example have a youth model marlin 7mm-08 that my kids all
Started with and quickly grew out of-and the girls...
I’ll do a report later this summer. Taking one of my little 7’s to Africa and shooting 150 ablr over rl-17 which it loves. We will see how it works in South Africa.
Interested to see what hers can do!
Horns are 36” and a Kafue lechwe-just fueling the fire!
I’ve never use nf bullets but not for any special reason-this is from one of their advertising posts. No doubt any quality bullet would have been just fine at this distance
7mm-08. Have never seen many of the other mentioned calibers available-also have never been looking for them. In my household we’ve had excellent success with the little 7
Does this model have an adjustable butt so it can be shortened for a youth? I have a daughter that could use it but she is built small. I’ve been considering the affinity compact version foe her . . . ?
Bear with me-
Duck hunting isn’t about killing ducks. Duck hunting is about convincing educated birds to commit to your calls and decoys. The goal is to completely fool the birds to “own them .”
I don’t see turkey hunting as much different. Your calls, your decoys and owning a boss gobbler...
