Way to go Guy! Ya still got it buddy. JD338

Nice snag, congrats JD338

Beautiful Aoudad, congratulations JD338

I started reloading back in 1974 with a RCBS JR press and dies for a 30-06. I still have that press and dies. I upgraded to a RCBS Rockchucker and then a Forester Co-Ax press which I absolutely love. The camming force is second to none. JD338

The 250 gr AB is my go to bullet in my 338 RUM and has taken countless crop damage deer. I’ve never had issues with expansion on over 100+ deer. JD338

I used to sell LEDs to the automotive industry. Green light falls into the middle of the visible spectrum 500-570 nm. Red light has a much broader visible spectrum that ranges from 630-750 nm. Lasers typically fall between 630-650 nm. The human eye can see the green spectrum easier than the red...

I’ve got a Remington 700 Classic 257 Roberts. I run the 115 gr BT at 3100 fps and it’s hammers WT deer. This is a magnum/ long action so I have a COAL of 2.900”. Since you are building on a short action, you may be better served with flat base bullets to stay in the 2.800” COAL. JD338

I like the conventional style. JD338

The PT is designed to expand even at lower velocities so they will work well on WT deer. What are you shooting? JD338

Nice looking rifle. Choosing the chambering may be determined by the intended purpose. With modern powders there really isn’t a difference between the 308 Win and 30-06 Spfg. Either one will get you across the finish line. JD338

The Winchester Ballistic Silver Tip is the Nosler Ballistic Tip with the Winchester Lubalox coating to the jacket and a gray polymer tip. The Partition uses dual lead cores. The front core is designed to expand and is sometimes lost but the rear core is locked in to maintain weight for deep...

Welcome to the forum. The Nosler BT was designed to be a deer bullet. I’ve taken countless deer with BTs in various calibers and weights resulting in a dead deer. Most are DRT but some have run but not far leaving a good blood trail. I’ve only recovered one. BT’s are accurate. If you can’t get...

I have gotten aggressive with them calling the but I generally mock the hens. If a tom gobbles, I’ll call once or twice and then shut up. They will usually come in strutting but sometimes they sneak in. It’s an addiction. JD338

I load 5.3 grs W231 with a Berry 230 gr copper plated bullet. JD338

They work very well on WT deer. I clobbered this late season doe in 2024. She took 3-4 jumps and piled up. https://forum.nosler.com/threads/308-winchester-165-gr-solid-base-whitetail-country.47484/ JD338

Nice shooting! What speed were you getting with IMR4895? The 165 gr SB is a wonderful bullet and very decisive on WT deer. If I take the 308 to TX next month for hogs, it will be loaded up with the 165 gr SB. JD338

Guy, You are not alone with the old eye syndrome. My EDC is a Springfield Armory Hellcat Pro 9mm with a Crimson Trace red dot. Easy to carry and conceal. And the red dot is fast, I mean really fast! JD338

Glad to hear that your Mom is feeling better and healing up well. Nothing like the power of prayer. JD338

Yup, definitely one way to play the trump cards JD338

Don’t worry. I know exactly what to say to her. JD338
