I have never looked, but Deep Curl (bonded bullet) would be an awesome bullet in the 41 Rem Mag, if they offer it. Do they make it 210 gr, or offer a heavier option? A 240 or 265 gr bullet would be even better!
I know I really like the Winchester 240 gr Platinum Tip ammo in my 4 5/8" barreled...
Thanks! Very hard to find in left hand!
I do prefer the 140 gr bullets in my Swedes, so will be loading the AccuBonds and Partitions to see what the rifle prefers, but also have some 130 rg Terminal Ascent bullets to try too (they are performing very well in both of my 6.5 CM's). I also have...
Here is my 6.5x55: Special Edition LH Steyr Model M FS w/ QD mounts
I haven't shot it as yet. Looking forward to developing a load for it and stalking deer and moose in the woods with it!
While I wouldn't call these five "short" range rigs, but rather "mediums", using your example they may be included here:
First is my LH Ruger M77 MkII in 376 Steyr: I should have added that I have taken bull elk at 150 yards and bison at 100 yards with it.
Second would be my LH Ruger M77...
I used 43 gr of IMR-4350 w/ 140 gr Partitions for good accuracy (5 shot 1" groups @ 200 yards) . Velocity seemed pretty good in my rifles, but I didn't have a chrony back then so cannot verify actual velocity. Book (Nosler) stated that it should be 2780 fps. Book says the AccuBond should get...
Congrats on your whitetail!
The weather has been pretty warm here for November, and that would have impacted the rut behaviour of our deer as well...colder temps seem to get them fired up more. More snow on the ground would also help, as you would have been able to see tracks and scrapes easier...
If you ever seen one of the older Eastman hunting videos, you would have seen the eskimos shoot polar bears being hunted with sled dogs with a 222. As they mostly hunted seals with these rifles, they used what they had for other hunting too, as opportunities arose. They would shoot the bear in...
Well, I did pull the trigger on that LH Fierce Carbon Rogue in 7mm PRC with 24" barrel!
I will getting the threaded barrel protector for it, as I am not a fan if muzzle breaks, and will be going with a set of Talley Low Rings/bases with the 8-40 thread screws, as I will moving my VX-5HD 3-15x44...
Good luck on your hunts Muleman and Salmonchaser!
The 270 WSM will definitely do the job on one of those whitetails!
Definitely some good deer and moose hunting in the Grande Prairie area; have hunted there a fair bit myself while living in Hythe and Grande Prairie several years back.
I am about...
Love the Swede! A great cartridge to shoot and hunt with!
Accurate, easy on the shoulder, and punches well above what its paper ballistics suggest. While I usually use the 140 gr bullet weights in mine, the 120 has performed well too, and works well on deer. For me, while I may be out deer...
Sounds like a great trip!
Sable has always interested me, and was my wife's bucket list animal. She got a nice one, that stood broadside for her at 235 yards. She also enjoyed he springbok hunt, although she found that their constant movement challenging. (We went to SA, as some of the species I...
DrMike used to tell me how MagPro was THE powder for the 7mm Rem Mag...wondering how it would fare in the PRC...
Been thinking more about a 7MM PRC to pair with the 6.5...would love to try the 170 gr Terminal Ascent bullet/ammo...perhaps in a LH Fierce Carbon Rogue w/ 24" barrel... :cool:
Sounds like a great day!
Better get a few flats and ensure you make the time to get to the range with your gals...who knows, you'll probably benefit too and mitigate that 17yo trash talk too! :cool:
I was planning on working with the 110 gr AB and 115 gr BT in my 257 Roberts...but have sold the rifle (Ruger No.1 RSI)...hope to have a lefty one day, with a longer barrel.
