Now as most of you know I am a Nosler fan when it comes to hunting bullets. That said, until the Fat Lady Sings, or in this case produces 3/4” moa groups or less I’m not in a dating mood! But I’m also not one to spend my time and money wasting components and barrel life chasing the death trap...
I’ve never been one to toss out old powder, and tend to save it for breaking in a new barrel.
Last week was IMR 4350 from 2006 that was previously used for a 8mm Remington Magnum.
I tested it against a newer bottle produced in late September 2001 in my 30/06 after 20 rounds with the stuff...
On Tuesday I came across a Whitetail fawn flopping around on my driveway as I drove in.
I waited to approach it when it calmed down and wondered what was the cause of its demise? I tilted its head up to see its tongue hanging out to the side, and was having trouble breathing.
It expired...
Eric at Blue Mountain Precision sent me back my build last week and I developed a tact driver of a load, albeit on the mild side since it’s still new and only had 40 rounds through it.
So I stretched it out today to three plates out there, 228, 268, and 378. Dope looked good from the FFP.

I see a NIB Lipsey’s Ruger African 35 Whelen over at RokSlide is For Sale for $1,350.00!
Unfortunately it’s not one of the original African Ruger’s with the three blade 3/4 Rib barrel.
I did see one of those over at AH in 30’06 like I once had. But I think that guy wanted $2,950.00
LNIB just back from Ruger completely gone through and tested for safety, function, and fired for POA/POI with two types of Federal Ammunition.
This stock is beautiful compared to what was on it originally!! Floor plate is correctly working without binding. Everything looks great! I’m...
If someone can help me out that would be great!!

These came with 1:8” twist 18.5” barrels too.
What should I do with this rifle?
A) Keep it in unfired condition and hope it goes up in value.
B) Shoot it and then go hunting with it.
C) Sell it to...
I bought this used from MHSA in October of 2020, not 2018. It is by far The most accurate rifle I’ve ever bought! I was told it had only 800-900 rounds through it.
I used it for the next 4 years and had SAC install another 27” Hawk Hill MTU 1:8” .264 cal barrel in February of 2023 I had bought...
Found these laying around yesterday and thought…. Oh wow, haven’t seen those in a long time!?!
I already developed a load for my 280 AI FMR with the 160 BT, and 160 Partition that both shoot to the same POA. I would have used the 175 Partitions had I not had any IMR 7828 on hand, but I sold...
Last month I missed the opportunity to take one of two coyotes ranging to dial or knowing where to hold, Mil based reticle, rather then just shoot the damn thing.
Which got me thinking about going back to Maximum Point Blank Range for a 4” kill zone. So I got out my .223 Remington 700...

Over twenty years ago I had a Jarrett 280AI built, along with two loads that came with the rifle. A 150 Nosler BT behind a stiff load of IMR4831, alongside a 175 Partition with just as stout...
