Good looking rounds! Makes me think that Guy would name that "Blue Thunder" or the "Blue Hammer", or something similar!

I have been using a Browning Bull Bag for the front for about 30 years now. (Haven't seen these anywhere for many years.) Wish I had bought two! I also have a Caldwell Tackdriver one as back up for others (Susan, Lauryn, etc.) to use when we go to the range, but it isn't quite as nice, as the...

I have always had good results on big game (elk, moose, mule deer, and grizzly) with the 220 gr Hot Cor in my BLR 358 Win @ 2209 fps (20" barrel; shoots 1" groups at 100 yards). I do have some of the 180's to try in the 35 Rem, but have not done so yet.

Sounds like a rut crazed frenzy!

Always tough to say good-bye to those special friends. We can relate. Susan and I both lost some of our friends over the past 12 years. Our friends running in new pastures include: Dove (Morgan) Breezy (Morgan) Sir (Morgan) Tonkawa (Morgan) Indy (Fjord) Buck (Morgan)

I have two rifles chambered in the 338 Federal, and am enjoying the performance of this cartridge on game. As I hunt larger game mostly with these rifles, I am focusing more on the heavier bullets such as the 200 and 210 grainers, which provide the minimum recommended sectional density (0.250)...

And there lies the issue... A 100 lb southern whitetail is going to show dramatically different results in bullet performance with a stouter bullet, than a 300 lb+ northern whitetail, just as a small 150 lb black bear will show dramatically different results in bullet performance than a larger...

I'm interested in seeing the specs on these bullets as they are introduced, and then seeing comparisons to other bullets such as the ABLR and Terminal Ascent. A comparison test of the 174-175 bullets in these three makes, in a few popular rifles chambered in the 7MM PRC , all with same length...

Congrats!

Nice! And Yikes!!! The 7mm Rem Mag is a very good cartridge! I had great results with mine. It has performed so well since introduced in 1962, that even the newest version for those wishing to shoot the heavier, longer, sleeker bullets chose to design the new PRC cartridge to emulate the...

My current 270 WSM (LH Browning X Bolt All Weather with 23" Barrel 1:10) has proven itself with factory ammo with 140 gr bullets so far, with the Nosler AccuBond and Federal Trophy Bonded Tip both producing 100 yard, 3-shot groups of 0.565" and 0.396", respectively. As I have other...

As stated above, the advantage of the vertical grip is when shooting prone or from the bench, in target shooting, where one has time to get settled in and shooting from some type of rest, tripod, or bull bags where you really aren't holding onto the rifle with both hands, and have more time to...

Very interesting data! Thanks. I am getting 2528 fps from my 22" barreled 358 Win with the 225 gr SGK, loaded over 54.2 gr of CFE223 in WW brass and F210M primers. It produces 100 yards 3 shot groups averaging 0.720". (ES was 11.5) So almost identical as the 35 Whelen accuracy load provided by...

Sharpen your knives!

My Benchmark barrel is 5R, but I am not sure of it is cut rifled or button. I will have to check with my gunsmith.

It has been some time since Thankful Otter has responded to a message. I too hope that is all is well with her and her family. Simplifying things can be a good thing, and hope that you accomplish your goal! I too have thought of this, but do not think I am quite ready as there is still much...

Thanks! And I'll get to field test that shotgun wrist carrier you made for me with it too! Should make for a great field set up!

Although not a rifle, an unexpected firearm acquisition yesterday at the local annual gunshow... A like new CZ Bobwhite G2 in 28 ga. for a great price! Couldn't pass it up! And the 1/4" cast off is so slight that as a lefty I have no issues mounting blind and finding the bead in good alignment...

Once you nail down which load it prefers, and you get used to it, the accuracy will come around!

I have the RCBS Summit and need to get it set up to use. I will be getting the upgrade for the linkage a mentioned above to mitigate the slop that can appear over time. I find it interesting that Federal's Custom Shop uses this press for all of its custom handloading and load development. Over...
