No worries! I can still dream! Or I could come down and hunt pronghorn if I can get a tag) with you and your XP to scratch that itch!

416 says it all!

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

Ernie, I forgot to say that IF our government changes and we ever get the chance to acquire handguns again, and would be allowed to use them for hunting, I'll be getting a hold of you to set me up with an XP! Thinking the 25 CM would get the nod. (Unless you would have a better suggestion.)

So how did your loads with the 120 gr Partition and Retumbo do? I am looking at using 115-120 gr bullets for this new-to-me 25-06. I have ordered some of Nosler's 115 gr BT ammo to try, and am getting factory ammo with the rifle with 110-120 gr loads. Seller reports that he found the 110 gr...

What have you named this beast? (If you do give your rifles names. I have given a few names such as Thumper, Thunder, and Lightning)

Thanks for info gents! Was kind of my thought, but needed to confirm with someone with more knowledge. I have always had thee gunsmith do the work for me, as I appreciate their knowledge and skill, and as I do not have it, I am willing to pay others who do, to perform this work for me. I'm an...

I recently had a dinner meeting for work, and the colleague had been really interested in my hunt, and the safari pics after I got back to work. On this meeting, as he was staying at the Lodge not far from my place he picked me up for the meeting and dropped me back of at home again, as I wasn't...

If only we could still acquire handguns here in Canada! And then be allowed to hunt with them. Alas, my handguns tend to sit in he safe way too much...need to rectify that! But at least I have them and can use them at the range when I am more mobile! Need to test out that Kimber 10mm alongside...

Have only tried Re-17 in my 416 Taylor. Works very well with the 350 gr TSX, and gives excellent accuracy with 3 shot groups of 0.400" at 100 yards. Might have to try H4350 too.

Very cool to see 3! I have seen an albino cow moose, and several piebald deer over the years. I have also seen a couple of bears where one was a light cream colour with cinnamon paws and the other one that was more of a piebald in colouration, while travelling throughout my assigned work areas...

The ticks on the side of your deer's chest are the point of aim right? You have the precision to accurately hit them! 😎 Course, I hope you aren't luggin that 15 lb cannon too far! :D And wearing your hearing protection! That braked beast must bark! Good thing it's farther out with that 28"...

Nice. Feels good to get stuff home doesn't it!?!? I enjoy sitting here looking at these constant memory treasures around the house! I'm sure you'll enjoy yours too!

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...

"Unfortunately I don’t have a chronograph, which would help immensely in this endeavour." Get yourself a Garmin! Best investment I've made in many years of reloading! So easy to use, and I have had no issues because of lighting or cold where I didn't get a shot to record data like my old Chrony...

While they do not list for all North American cartridges, they do make quite a few, including: 222 Rem 223 Rem 22-250 Rem 243 Win 6mm CM 6mm GT 6mm Dasher 6.5 Grendel 6.5 CM 260 Rem 6.5x284 6.5 PRC 7mm-08 284 Win 7mm PRC 308 Win 30-06 300 WSM 300 Win Mag 300 PRC I was surprised by how many...

I have long said that a 25-06 Rem would nicely compliment my 280 Rem and 338-06 as a well rounded battery for North American big game, with all being based off the 30-06 case. I have long read that the 25-06 is a favourite cartridge of pronghorn hunters. Now I'll get to try it on them! :cool...

And that's why it is great that we have options/choices! Yes, Nosler has not been inexpensive, and even worse here in Canada with the exchange rates, and now the tariffs! Glad to get the review on the Peterson brass. Looking forward to using it in my 25 Creedmoor when it is finished. With...

Pros and cons of going to a prefit barrel? Never really looked into it...

I am newer to the 257 Roberts and am liking it so far. Enough so that I am building that new 257 AI Improved too (257 AI with fast twist barrel). My 257 Roberts is a beautiful custom rifle on a LH Sako Model 591 with a 22" Shilen barrel and Exhibition grade walnut. I bought it used as it has...
