And after asking about your favourite 308-based cartridge, how could one not take this to the next level... What is your favourite 30-06-based cartridge, and why? I shot my first moose with a 30-06 back in 1989. An old Springfield rifle with open sights. I have only owned one 30-06 since then...

So, what is your favourite 308-based cartridge, and why? While I have used the 358 Win in a pre-81 BLR the most over the past 25 years, for hunting, and as a back up rifle for guiding, archery hunting, camp rifle, and saddle/ATV/UTV rifle, and is a cartridge and rifle I will always hold near...

My wife got a great surprise today; she has won an African safari!😎 We attended the 3rd Annual BC Outdoor Sports Show in Chilliwack BC last weekend. Was a good show, and we spent some time chatting with the folks from Koranna Mountain Safaris of South Africa. We have been planning on a return...

Was thinking that I have quite a few rifles in the safe that still need to be hunted (9) and take game with...hopefully most, if not all, in 2025. And some of these still need to have loads developed and finalized (*3)...at least these 3 have all taken game so far... LH CZ 527 American in 204...

There have been a lot of discussions regarding the variances in reloading data, whether in reloading manuals or online, of late. I picked up the latest issue of Guns & Ammo last night, and Dave Emary's article on "Data Confusion" may help some of the people with these questions. He discuss some...

Has anyone developed any loads for their 7mm's with the Federal Terminal Ascent bullets? Either with the 155 or 170 gr version? In either the 7mm Rem Mag or the 7MM PRC? Loads? Results?

In the new thread regarding the question about the 338 Engels, while trying to find out more about the cartridge, I came across the Shooting Times article by Payton Miller, "11 Great .338 Caliber Rifle Cartridges". It got me to thinking about the various .338 rifles I have owned, or played...

Was reading the new Shooting Times magazine this morning and found in Lane Pearce's article on 6mm ARC Handloads, the reference to ARS (Aggressive Reloading Syndrome). This is a new term for me. This is the condition exhibited by those who purposefully load "hot" to achieve greater velocities...

I have had this question rolling around in the back of my mind for quite some time, and this weekend, I awoke thinking of it again as I was about to head to the range to sight in a couple new rifles and test out some new ammunition in a couple of other... What is the actual impact on a...

After years of having a stainless/wood LH 358 Win bolt action on the Bucket List, I have finally finished the quest. I had picked up a LH Rem 700 someone had built on a DM stainless action, but had altered a RH Rem 700 stock to LH and then painted it. The barrel is a 22" McGowan SS w/ 1:12...

Read the recent Custom Crafted Cartridges article in Shooting Times' magazine about Federal's Custom Shop ammunition. I called them to discuss potential custom ammo for a few rifles I have; the 270 WSM, 280 Rem, 7MM STW, and 338 Federal. Their ammunition isn't cheap (approx. $110/box of 20)...

Dipping my toes back into the 20 cal waters! Had a rh Rem 700 LVSF back in the day. Accurate and fun to shoot. Sold as it wasn't lh, but has taken awhile to find a lh replacement.

So, along with the Win Model 88 250 Savage and new LH Browning X Bolt in 6.5 PRC, I took the 280 Rem, 300 WSM and 338 Federal out to the range today to check on velocities, groups with factory ammo, in old trusted loads and new offerings that needed testing. The first up was the LH Rem 700 280...

Finally done! (CL...better get a rag for all that drool!!! :LOL: ) Winchester post-64 Model 88 (one of the later models with the most improved trigger produced by Winchester; and the crispest Model 88 trigger I have found to date!). 22" Wilson barrel Winchester open sights Boyd's nutmeg...

I am thinking of getting a bipod for the Bergara 22 rifle for the PRS type shooting. Leaning towards a carbon model...rifle has dual studs at this time Any recommendations? Sling swivel stud vs rail installation and use? And which type of rail? I am hearing about a longer rail type that allows...

After our (wife and I) awesome trip to New Zealand, and planning on a couple more hunts for next year (Africa and New Zealand), and our great trip last fall where my daughter took her first moose and a stones sheep, and I got a caribou (having gotten my moose the week before), I have also been...

I have owned a RH Rem 870 Tactical for a while now and it handles and shoots slugs (both 2 3/4" and 3") just fine with its 18 1/2" smoothbore barrel. I really like the extra capacity of the tube magazine on this model, and the ghost ring sight and the front sight having the bright line on it to...
