    7mm RM/150 grain Partition for elk?

    150 grain bullet is plenty of bullet for elk. Especially given the velocity out of your rem mag. The partition is solid enough of a bullet to hold up and penetrate. If you wanted to reach out further distances you would benefit stepping up a little in weight and possibly using an Accubond...

    Chronograph

    I bought a Caldwell a few years ago to record data. It worked ok. Problem is setting it up. At the public range I hate messing with it. I found myself leaving it at home most of the time. I was looking at the Garmin last week. I noticed the Athlon for less. After reeding up on it and...

    What is "reasonable" accuracy for a hunting rifle?

    My opinion is it depends how far you are shooting. My goal is 1" at 100 yards. However, most hunting distances 1.5" is plenty accurate enough. While you can get away with more I always like to get tighter groups. Under pressure and fatigue I like having a margin of error for in the field.

    Why no Nosler load data for 6.8 Western

    I recently purchased a 6.8 Western to try out. I saw some 165 grain Nosler ABLR seconds and thought they would be good to try out. I was surprised to see no load data by Nosler. I managed to find a load on Hodgdon. It is surprising there is no Nosler Load data. They have 160 Partitions, 165...

    What powder for 20 ga?

    I’ve used Clays Universal for 7/8 oz 20 gauge. If you see anything in stock look up load data to see if you can make it work.
