Yes the 28N is a rather high velocity round. Stay off the shoulder inside 250 yds and it will work for you. I too have the same load / ammo.
Let me clarify - If it’s a bull tag , use the preferred bullet. Bulls don’t usually stand and pose presenting the “perfect” shot. Cow tag, go enjoy...
Yep - Lots of Turkeys here in the yard. Our canyon is loaded with them ! Very entertaining!
I’m actually going to take one this spring for my first time, and try cooking it or make jerky. I’ll probably use an arrow. Been wading thru turkeys for over 40 years and just never had the desire to...

Brings back memories. Must be about18 years ago now. We had a Gun Club before it was shut down here in Lewiston. My son started at 12 yrs old on the Skeet field. By 14 he took the Skeet Jrs Trophy home that year. I took the Skeet Doubles home. We always enjoyed Wed, Sat and Sunday...
Ben putting tape on muzzleloader almost 40 years. Used RED electrical tape on my son’s first rifles when he started carrying to help visualize where his muzzle is pointed. Part of the safety training. Never ran test but the occasional shot at a target with no apparent shift.
Man that hurts just reading that. Most of us that have spent years in the back country can relate to injuries and what it takes to get out of there and the recovery. Rest and then rehab! Do yourself a favor and do the rehab right! Your investing in your future - trust me I know…
In last 20 years I have purchased $100’s worth of 2nds / blems. Maybe over $1K of them. Never had a complaint!
I’ve only loaded my 6.5 Norma with Hammer , the rest of all my loads are Nosler. Oh and one box of Hornady for my 45-70.
So it’s 99% Nosler ….
Caught some gigantic carp out of Lake Michigan at the Nuc plant discharge in the spring. Now this was probably 45 years ago but they were in the 20 - 30+ range. One or two to get it out of your system then back to trout fishing.
We call them “Chickens “ over here in Idaho. Back in Northern Minnesota we called them Partridge. In Wisconsin everyone just called them Grouse.
By any name I still grab out 4 or 5 each season on the good years and on a bed of wild rice they sure are good.
The handful of deer with the 90, shoulders would find bullet in offside hide. Ribs would pass thru. I still load the 90AB for a buddy and he shoots whitetail and cow elk with that bullet.
I said this before- My go to is the 95BT and I load 100PT for my wife. Very satisfied with results. Our experience with the 90BT has been the same. Congrats
Reading thru this has got that itch started again. I have / had most modern cartridges but never a .308Win. I’ve got a Sav99 in a 300 Sav. That’s as close as I’ve got. I’ve been looking at 308s for years now but with a few 300WSMs laying around I couldn’t justify buying one. A good buddy of...
I had one - I would not shoot that gun with out hearing protection!
Outside of that, I had purchased it for same reason.
I sold it and carry a Glock 20 when I feel the need in the mountains of ID,
Ok I didn't wait quite a month. I ordered the Xero today. Already grabbed a case from Amazon so it's here already. I have Some 124 HH coming to load up in my 6.5x284 so I will be using it right out of the box.
We used to fish for “Lakers” in Lake Superior and Lake Michigan back in the ‘70s and’80s. Some of the best eating came from Ontario- Manitou Lake if I remember correctly. Fly in 1st week of May for ice out fishing.
Been many years since I’ve had some….
I had a 270WSM in a Sako 75 Finnlight.
My load was RL22 with 150 PT at just under 3000 fps. Good brasslife and less the moa. Lots of Elk and Whitetail with that load.
