If you were hunting bear in Alberta in 4months shooting a 35 Whelen and had 200gr Hornady RN, Hornady 200gr SP, Sierra 200gr RN, Sierra 225gr BTSP, Barnes 200gr TTSX, Barnes 225gr TSX, Nosler 225gr Accubond, or Nosler 225gr Partitions available to you, what would you shoot? The hunt may involve...

A strange request I know! A few years ago I was at a range and noticed a piece of grey plastic by the trash barrel. I was going to put in the drum but when I saw what it was I had to have a second look. It was a cartridge carrier from a box of Nosler factory ammunition. It's just a 5 round...

I dropped a line to Nosler nearly two weeks ago asking a couple of straightforward questions but haven't had any response that they have even received my post. This is the second time that I've dropped them a line in the last three months with no response at all. I've even attempted to call...

I know I am not old but I am not as young as I once was. As I age I find that I am far more prone to hunt with guns that have that "right feel" about them. I currently have ten or more guns that I classify as deer rifles. They range from stainless/synthetic bolt guns to my Marlins and a BLR in...

Three days before Christmas 1982 I killed a little 7point with my Christmas present that was given to me early. It was a Smith & Wesson 1000P 12ga pump. The buck was shot at about 40 yards with a load of 00 buckshot. He ran maybe a hundred yards and then piled up. What a wondrous morning it was...

I'm always late to the party it seems. I got a box to try in my 35 Whelen a couple years back and never loaded them because a customer service rep told me that they most likely wouldn't expand on whitetail deer. I don't know if that is true or not but now have a box of good looking bullets I...

While my case is not as severe as some I am a confirmed rifle loony and am proud of it. I've tried several rifles through the years but Marlin lever actions from 357 magnum to 45/70 have been the rifles most often reached for in the thickets and creek bottoms I tend to hunt the most. My favorite...

The title really says it all but I do remember some reviews somewhere that one was the first step you take into custom bullets and then the other the one that you graduate to after trouble with the first one tried. I just can't remember which one is which. It's on game performance that matters...

For my first posting I couldn't help throwing in a comment on the 35 Remington with 200gr Remington Core-lokts. I have found this to be an absolute hammer on deer and the accuracy out of my Marlin 336 has to be seen to be believed. It regularly shoots under an inch an on occasions, when I hold...
