Well we left Arizona Sunday morning at about 1000 hours. 70 degrees and Sunny. Made the north side of Vegas by late afternoon and called it a day. Monday we drove the Great Basin highway. One of the most fascinating drives in the country. As we worked north the wind picked up and the sky was...
We’re leaving Arizona in the morning, looks like some warm weather coming up the end of next week. Of course there will be snow between now and then while we drive north. Love shooting sage rats.
Welcome aboard. Last time I used 3031 was about 30 years ago. The case capacity differences between your two cartridges would indicate different powders for each application. I would look for something in the RL 22 burn rate for the seven mag. I have one pound left that I’m saving just for that...
I’ve seen partitions kill elk from 257 Roberts/120 to 375HH/300. While I’ve mostly switched to Accubonds I really have no reservations on using Partitions on elk, or anything else for that matter. I agree, at 28 Nosler speeds the 175 should do quite well for you.
Excellent performance test. Reinforces in my mind heavy for caliber modest velocity efficiency in hunting bullets. 6.5x55. 7x57 or even the very old and worn out 06.
Jeepers I’ll turn 70 in elk camp this year. First elk camp/with a tag was 1967, 58 elk seasons, a number of those years I hunted two states, couple times three states. I am the luckiest SOB I know. With a little additional luck I’ll get to do Oregon, Wyoming and Montana this year.
While there may have been some business decisions I’m unaware of that impacted Nosler’s supply chain during covid, getting people to work in Bend is real. It has become a very high rent entitled recreation community, when Nosler moved there it was a cow and timber town with just a hint of what...
Either cartridge is more than enough. I would say take the one you shoot better. I’ll take my 300 HH and either 257 or the 275 next time. The black wildebeast was the only one I had trouble with, hit him four times in front of the diaphragm to put him down with a 300 win mag. I heard it said a...
Dale eastern Oregon simply needs to vote. The math was clear, there were enough votes not cast, assuming all of the registered republicans voted against 114, in Baker, Union and Umatilla county to have beat this measure. That is three out of thirty counties that are historically red. Elections...
I’ll never buy anything off gun broker that starts with a high blue book value and then asks to bid from there. I did see a couple that were true auctions at about 800.00 I would be surprised if you can do better but I certainly hope you do.
There are about 1600 of them listed on Gunbroker. Quite a few of the originals from Belgium and a lot of new ones. Good luck, I’d say it’s a buyers market right now.
