When I retired from the USAF in 2010, I was almost tempted to ask if they had any of the old Presidential "Certificates of Retirement" that was signed by George Bush instead of getting one signed by Obama....

Well, I'm taking out my (Win Mod 70) 270WSM w/140ABs for some of the deer season and take my (Browning A-Bolt) 338WM w/225ABs for antlered elk. Neither of these rifles have seen much use in the last several years.

Is it bad that I have enough rifles that I can't decide which rifle to use? LOL

Oh I do remember Bivwak. Spent a fair amount of money there. 8) 8) 8)

Fotis, JD338, and all of the other Mods do a great job here. It's been so long since I joined this forum I had to go look. WOW, it's been 15 years :shock: . Learned lots of stuff here in those 15 years.

If so, I'm good as I only use it for the 180AB load in my 30-06 and I have 2 full 1lb jugs plus a partial jug of it.

Fiance and I put for Moose here in Idaho, but didn't get drawn.

As did I. I haven't really needed to buy any primers or powder in 10 years, but I'm not shoot as much anymore.

With my load development, I'll choose a powder that'll potentially give me beat velocity and fill as close to 100%. Then I'll find the most accurate powder charge. Next, depending on if I need to, I'll play with the seating depth to see if it can make it even more accurate.

I usually start at .020 of the lands, if I'm limited by magazine length, I'll start out by what will fit and function in the magazine with no jamming. Seating depth for my Rem Ultra Mags are limited by the magazine. I found that 3.67" is what will fit and function in the RUM magazine, so I...

I don't remember which RUM has the Jewel trigger and the Rifle Basix trigger. Either way my 338RUM and my 7MMRum both got new triggers. The gunsmith friend in Lompoc, CA did the swap and set them to 2 3/4lbs. They are nice.

A Winchester M70 "Walmart combination special" was my first rifle I purchased in late 2003. It's been a great rifle. Between my 30-06 and 270WSM, my girlfriend chose it to use in her first hunt ever in 2017. I've taken quite a few CA hogs and blacktail deer and a couple of cow elk here in Idaho...

Most of my hunting rifles are shooting Accubonds. I've found that for me, they have liked very little jump. For instance, my 30-06 has an OAL of 3.39" vs. the Nosler listed SAMMI OACL of 3.34 and their own load data OACL of 3.30.

When I can afford it, rifles chambered for 28 & 33 Nosler are on the list. Thinking about the 28 from Browning or Christensen. Haven't decided what brand to get the 33 from. I already have a Nosler M48 Heritage (26) and the M48 Liberty (30).

Use them. I shoot the 150gn E-tip out of my 7mmRUM. I've had zero issues or complaints with them performing on game.

Although Nosler loaded ammo, the 129 ABLR out of a 6.5 Creedmoor performed great on my girlfriend's first cow elk last year. The shot was 320 yds (yeah, she got a bit lucky).

LOL, my first muley was taken with my 375 RUM shooting the 260gn AB at about 100 yards.

Last year I scored a cow elk with my 30 Nosler using 180ABs, so, this year I took out my 26 Nosler using 140ABs to hunt mule deer and antlered elk. I got very lucky and got a 4x4 buck on the second evening of deer season, 11 Oct. So after sitting around for 3 days after getting my buck dealt...

I use Fed GM210M primers in my Weatherby Vanguard Sporter 30-06. Here's my load info: 180AB Nosler brass trimmed to 2.48" 55.5gn of H414 COL: 3.390" Muzzle velocity is around 2823 FPS 180ET Nosler brass trimmed to 2.48" 53.5gn H4350 COL: 3.390" 180AB target (3 shots) 180ET target (3 shots)

I was impressed with the 6.5 Creed I bought for my girlfriend. She got her first cow elk with it last fall. The shot was around 310 yds. We are using Nosler ammo with the 129 ABLR. The rifle is a Savage Axys II hardwood model.
