I am lucky that Susan doesn't feel the need to have more firearms! She's happy with her 6.5 CM, 250 Savage, 28 gauge, 10/22 and Browning 22LR pistol. (Although she says my 6.5 CM is prettier than hers...:rolleyes: )

Susan is always on me as why we don't go fishing more often! With the accident and our recoveries this year, we won't be getting the boat out onto our favourite small lakes!:cry: Means we will have to take more time to do so next year!😎

And I bet he says "Where's Sue?" if you walk in by yourself! :LOL:

I have a Pelican case and used it for our New Zealand trip. Worked great. I used a smaller Pelican case for the ammo. I like that the SKB cases have (or had) a warranty where if your rifle or bow was damaged inside their case during travel, they would replace the weapon. I have their cases for...

I have often wondered why there is such a marked difference in perception between the 9.3 x 57 vs the 9.3 x 62... The 62 is good for DG in Africa in many countries, whereas the 57 gets poo-pooed as having limited power and performance. All I can think is that they are comparing this just from...

Nice! My daughter loves the Rem 700 Titanium 270 Win I got her when she decided she wanted her first rifle.

Susan hasn't had any issues with my buying/selling firearms/etc over the years, as the bills are always paid, and there is food in the fridge/freezer/pantry. And she is glad that I am not out spending money on cigarettes, alcohol, gambling, etc. And she gets to shoot and hunt too! All goes back...

Not handy at the moment, and I'll be travelling for medical reasons over the next 6 days...but you can search Canadian Gun Nutz and GunPost for them. Edit: Sorry, wasn't thinking there for a moment...these are Canadian websites, so if you are Stateside, you will have extra hoops and hurdles to...

I know I enjoyed the Rem 700 Classics in 6.5 x 55 that I owned. My first one (purchased new in 1994) was the more accurate of the two, but then again, I had done more load development for it than I did the second one (bought used in 2002 or 2003). It's best load was the max load of IMR-4350 with...

Looks like you are off to a good start! With your skills I have no doubt that you'll have it dialed in for minute of mosquito in no time! Good luck on the antelope hunt! And which reticle did you go with for the Ziess? Would love to hear your assessment on this scope...been looking at them for...

Be prepared; elk hunting in the rut is not only exciting, but addicting! Once you experience a rut-crazed bull bugling and thrashing brush at spitting distance, you'll know what adrenaline is! Practice good scent control, watch the wind, and get a Montana decoy, and use cow in estrus urine on...

Your current 225 gr BTSP load that is shooting so nice has the following ballistics (assuming cooler weather 59F and an elevation of 2200 asl): Muzzle = 2400 fps, 2877 ft lbs of energy 100 yards = 2245 fps, 519 ft lbs of energy, +2.7" for a 200 yard zero 200 yards = 2096 fps, 2195 ft lbs of...

I take it that you are handloading for your rifle? And is your 7mm Rem Mag equipped with the normal 26" barrel? To answer your basic question; Yes, the 150 gr Partition will work on elk just fine. They are great bullets with a proven track record on elk. With a BC of 0.456 and a SD of 0.266...

Appears to be a successful start to using heavier bullets! (Gotta love it when a plan comes together!) And being short, will be handy in the thick timber! Will also work great on bear, moose and elk, should you get to hunt them too! Other great bullets to try would include the 200 and/or 225 gr...

I have taken game (deer, black bear, and moose) with Silver Tips in different cartridges (30-30 and 30-06) over the years. While most of these animals were taken at relatively close range (under 100 yards) and the moose was at about 200 yards, with proper bullet placement, they all died quickly...

The 6.8 Western is a relatively new cartridge developed by a competitor. And correct me if I am wrong, but I do not believe that most of the major rifle and ammunition manufacturers have offered this chambering in their rifles and ammunition lines yet. They may be working on load development...

There could be a number of reasons why this rifle isn't shooting to your expectations: All of the bullets you have tried are longer, higher BC bullets that your rifle may just not shoot as well as a a regular cup and core bullet such as a Nosler Partition, Sierra GameKing, or Hornady Interlock...

Don't mean to sidetrack this thread, but would like to see your review after you have rung out the new NX6! (What reticle did you go with?)

In my 9.3 x 62 (which also comes in the same version of rifle the OP mentioned for the 35 Whelen) I am shooting the Nosler 250 gr AccuBond ammo, and get 2550 fps with just over 3600 ft lbs of energy, and the LH Sako 85, 9 lb scopes rifle produces 0.674" groups at 100 yards. If I were to handload...

All of my 280 Rems over the years have had 22" barrels. I ran 160 and 162 gr bullets in my first rifle (Browning A Bolt) with IMR 4350 and got great velocities and accuracy (sorry, no longer have the data). Worked well on game. Other 280s (mostly Rem 700 Mtn Rifles), I also used 160 gr bullets...
