I know I can run 49.5 to 50gr. Of Rl 17 with a 140. Would like to see what happens with a 150
I think this has been posted before but I’ll be danged if I can find it...
Son in Law and daughter just returned from Boise. SIL needed more imaging to determine the extent of the cancer. The radiologist report essentially says surgery is the only chance he’s got. Essentially the docs will “gut him like a fish” hope to get enough of the cancer to prolong “salvage” his...
Sending off my ruger 257 roberts for a new barrel, I never should have bought a bore scope. Anyway going to have PAC NOR make me a 257 AI. Looking at 6 months out. Want to be able to shoot the heavier monos perhaps. Thinking on a 1/8.5 instead of the standard 1/10. What say you all?
Earlier this year the Trump Administration cancelled a program that paid small farmers for fresh produce supplied to schools in their area. Great program guaranteeing a market for small farmers and gives the kids fresh spinach opposed to that canned stuff from some where else. My daughter is...
I had a little time this morning to run out to the range just to confirm my zero on the 300 HH Number1. I also wanted to test a load I had found several pages back in my log book. The note said “ wow, great load but a little slow”
69.0 grains N570, 180TTSX; loaded .09 off the lands. I expected...

It seems every year, sometime between mid September and mid October, we get the first big Pacific Storm rolling in. Oregon goes from dry as a popcorn fart to rainforest wet over night.
For us on the dry side of the cascades, geographically identified as high desert, we get rain as well and snow...
I am divesting myself of a few guns, thought I might go ahead and give my buddies a chance at the scopes. Any way looking for $800.00 a piece U.S. One of the scopes has a duplex cross hair the other a wind plex.
I have a box, (25)Nosler 8mm Remington brass new and shinny. Also have 28 New Remington cases, a few have some tarnish on them from hanging around so long.
Send me 10 bucks for shipping and they are yours.
Had a little time this afternoon to play with my 375HH. 71 gr. RL 15; 260gr. Partition; 2684 fps; first shot hits on plates out to 400yards; Leupold vx111 1.5 x 5.
So I went out to the range this morning as it was relatively cool. Surprised how many old guys were there. In any event I wanted to simply confirm my 300 yard dope on my 275 Rigby and my 300HH. Simple enough one would think. Except there was a lot of good bull**** going on. I had dialed 2moa on...
So this morning the girls decided to take me picking huckleberry up at 7000 feet. We had a great time, put up some grouse, both blues and ruffed. On the way down Catherine decided we should go pick some peaches. The huckleberry patch is 10 miles east of us. The peaches about the same distance...
Short on details yet, my sister sent me the pic with none of the requisite info. Taken on the family farm with a depredation tag. This is a Roosevelt elk.
