I haven't seen any fawns in this part of NC as of yet but I expect to see them showing up in the soy bean fields with their moms any day now. I usually spot the first fawns around here in early June which is right around the corner but it isn't unusual to see one in late May either.
I don't own a .270 but I help my brother load for his. He likes shooting the 130's for deer and his favorite bullets in no particular order are the Speer Hot-Cor, Sierra Pro Hunter and the Nosler BT's. He tends to shoot the Speer Hot-Cor more than the other two.
I haven't tried the 115gr BT's in my 25.06 yet but I do have a couple hundred on order. My 25.06 loves RL22 and that is my go to powder with the 25. I currently load the Speer 120gr spritzer and the Sierra 117gr PH but have itching to give the 115gr BT a try. The RL22 works extremely well with...
The 30.06 will always be my favorite caliber since it was my first and even though it doesn't see much action anymore I still like to get her out and shoot her every now and then. I have an older model wood stocked 700 ADL manufactured in the 80's. I glass bedded the action years ago and it has...
I'm getting some very good results with my Rem 700P LTR and the following loads ......
Nosler 168gr CC
Lapua brass
CCI 200
Varget - 44grs
Nosler 168gr CC
Lapua brass
Fed 210
RL15 - 41grs
A friend of mine bought the same rifle for his 12yr old son and he's harvested several nice deer with it over the past couple years. The 7mm-08 is a good caliber with mild recoil and should serve your daughter well. My friend reloads and if I'm not mistaken he loads the sierra 120gr pro hunters...
The 6.5 Creedmoor is a very attractive caliber and i'd love to have one. A good friend of mine has one that is a custom that he built and it will flat out shoot. He's one several matches with that rifle and claims it shoots so well that it's boring to reload for. I can't imagine that! Maybe one...
Thanks for the replies, and yes the bt is a great bullet no doubt. I had success with them early on but find myself using them more and more. I just wish suppliers could keep them in stock. I've been waiting for the 120bt .264 for my daughters .260 rem for quite a while. I have several product...
I've been browsing the web the last couple days looking at the reviews of different bullets. I've used bt's in several different calibers over the years and still have quite a few in the cabinet. I've had good luck with them in both accuracy and on game performance. I know it's all personal...
I love the Speer Gold Dots and that's what I carry for self defense. My G36 gets 230gr GD's and my little Kahr CM9 gets the 124gr GD's. I haven't had any problems what so ever with either gun feeding or shooting the gold dots.
I use a RCBS kinetic puller that I've had for years and it has worked well for me. I had to replace the collet and o-ring recently because it wore out and wouldn't hold the cases anymore.
