Hello. Has anyone tried this ammo yet? Performance? Accuracy and/or on game?

The old saying about idle hands is definitely true! Being laid up as I continue to recover from my injuries in May has certainly lead to trouble! (If one could call it that! ;) ) Keeping in mind that I still have one more surgery pending to remove the plate from my shoulder so I can once again...

Was looking for some reloading data for Vihtavouri powders over the weekend and found this site. Thought others would like to check it out. https://vihtavuori.com/reloading-data/reloading-data-tool/#/

Has anyone been able to acquire these bullets to try yet? And have you learned what the BC is for it? Hoping to use it in my 25 Creedmoor when done, and I can locate these bullets. And then in my next build, a 257 AI Improved.

I have enjoyed my Browning X Bolt rifles over the years. Have 4; 3 in the LH All Weather version (pepper laminate/stainless; 6.5 CM, 270 WSM, and 308 Win being rebarreled to 25 CM), and a LH Hunter (6.5 PRC). I really like the stock configuration. I have read good things about the X Bolt 2...

Wondering if anyone has tried the Federal Euro Copper ammunition yet. (All copper bullet with a flat point plastic tip for expansion.) If so, how did it perform? (On target or game) They make it in a few different cartridges, and I picked up some for the 9.3x62 (250 gr) on the weekend. Not...

An interesting topic of conversation has started in another thread, and I thought I would ask my question here instead, to respect the OPs original thread there... For those who dial and shoot, or those who have holdover BDC type reticles (B&C, TDS, BRH, etc.), what are the advantages to you in...

Who has used both? And which do you prefer? And why? I have acquired some Petersen brass for my 25 Creedmoor rifle that is currently at the gunsmith. And I am looking at some Petersen brass for sale for the 7mm PRC, which I have only shot factory ammo to date, but still need some dies for to be...

Not sure if this topic has ever been asked (I do not recall): What is your favourite method(s) of hunting? And you can include small game (including predators), big game, upland birds and waterfowl. For me, for small game: it is spot and stalk through the thickets for snowshoe hares, and...

Oh, the dangers of being laid up in a hospital bed, with lots of time to think... 🤔 While my 25 CM rebarrel project is waiting on me to be able to up and about again, to take that Browning LH X Bolt All Weather into the gunsmith to have that new 24" Benchmark 5R SS 1:7.5 twist barrel put on...

It has been a while since we've discussed favourite cartridges... So let's start a new conversation. What is your favourite metric cartridge? For me, it has to be the 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser. I have more trigger time behind this centerfire cartridge than any other. I also spent more time...

I read a note in the new Western Pursuit magazine's Quarter-Bore War article on the 25 CM vs 25 RPM by Joseph Von Benedikt, that Hornady is playing with an improved version of the 257 AI (hence the name 257 AI (Improved), or AII for short) for fast twist enhancement of the old wildcat. It should...

I have been reading some good things about Federal's new Tipped Fusion ammo of late, but hadn't actually seen any here north of the border to try yet... I finally found some at the LGS for the 6.5 CM and 7MM PRC, so I grabbed a box of each to try. Reasonably priced compared to some other ammo...

May have missed it...but do not recall seeing the Nosler 2026 Wish List thread yet... Still on my recurring Wish List: 260 gr 41 cal bullets for the 41 Rem Mag New Wish List: 25 cal 120-130 gr AccuBond for hunting (25 CM; but with the new 25 RPM I see some demand there too!)

Here's wishing everyone a safe and Happy Holiday Season! May Santa bring you all of your dreams and wishes! As you lay snug in your beds, may visions of ________________ (insert here your wish for new rifles, scopes, cartridges, bullets, etc., and new adventures with family and friends) be...

Just curious... Did anyone find any good Black Friday deals? I think I did OK on this one... Got a Leupold VX-6HD 3-18x50 w/ Illuminated B&C reticle for 30% off! I went to the LGS a couple of weeks ago to pick up this scope as their website listed them as having one in stock...only they could...

We managed to get out a couple of days this past week. The weather was pretty nice and we got to see some beautiful mountain country here in northeastern BC. The winds haven't stripped too many of the trees yet, and the stands of poplar and aspen are bright in their yellows, golds and oranges of...

I attended a local gun show today, and on one of the tables, there was some of this ammo for sale. I thought about grabbing a box to try it in the Marlin 336 that I got for Susan. I tried to look it up tonight, and it looks like Federal doesn't even offer it anymore, and could not find a lot...

I came across a Youtube podcast this evening by The Big Game Hunting Podcast, titled 388: 25 Creedmoor - A triple Threat Cartridge with Richard Mann. Near the end of the podcast, the interviewer asks a very interesting question: If you could choose just one cartridge or bullet to hunt with...

I was thinking about what has influenced me over the years when it comes to the rifles I own or like, and the various cartridges I also own or like. First, I think a major influence has been family. While my family hunted, on both sides of my family, mostly it was for sustenance, or for...
