    What did you use to kill your first deer?

    Remington Model 600 6mm Remington Centennial Model made in 1964. 75th of Montana Statehood and 100th anniversary of the Montana Territory. My father purchased the rifle (for me) new in a small mom/pop grocery store in Nye Montana a few years after first seeing it in the store. 1972 hunting...

    30-06 QL Help Please and any help from the stands would be great too.

    I shoot a Ruger 1B in 30-06 that has a 26" barrel. It loves 165 gr. Nosler Partitions and Accubonds using IMR4350. H4350 which you are using would be fantastic also and I would just stay with that since your rifle seems to really like it. With 57.4 grs. of IMR4350 and a 165 gr. Accubond i...

    Which Scope for the 6.5 Swede Tikka?

    That or the 2.5-8x36mm Leupold VXIII with the B&C reticle sure would be a nice fit. Not too big and not too small, good glass, and a rugged little scope. Nothing wrong with a 6x42mm Leupold fixed power also.

    This day 1969

    I was 9 years old and I was most likely back in the area behind where we lived along the Stillwater River south of Columbus Montana. My grandparents lived just down the road from us and we were about 3-4 miles out of town. It was my little slice of heaven as we had a couple creeks that went...

    I’m Through

    It's sad what they are doing and the fact that rich wealthy folks are funding it only makes it worse.

    Completed transition from Alliant to Hodgdon...

    I like your style. I shoot 6mm Remington, 280AI, and 30-06 and use only Nosler bullets, use Federal 210 & 215 primers, and mostly use IMR4350 and IMR7828SSC with H4350 & H4831SC in there. Just a wee bit more complicated than yours but not much.

    Wolves need managed.

    They don't need to be removed or exterminated, but they do need to have measures in place that allow for hunting and trapping to help keep them wild and to keep numbers in check...

    Boyds stocks

    On my son's Ruger MKII in 6mm Remington I had a lady who worked for Cooper Arms checker the stock and had my gunsmith pillar and glass bed it. It's a great shooting rifle and the nutmeg laminate stock is just gorgeous. He likes it and so do I.

    .280 Rem. Mountain Rifle

    Good luck on your hunt and that 280 Remington should serve you well as other fine intelligent gentlemen here have stated. Anything from an excellent 140-160 gr. bullet in your rifle would work very well. The 160 gr. Partition or 160 gr. Accubond would be outstanding of course. Cannot wait...

    Wheelgun Wednesday!

    When I started at the S.O. I had a 4" S&W Model 28 revolver in .357. I really liked that pistol and shot it very well. When I transitioned to a Semi-Auto pistol I sold my Model 28. Of course now I wish I still had it. I have a Ruger LCR .22 LR with a 3" barrel. 8 round capacity. Not a...

    Sighting in for different bullets

    Me personally I would get an accurate load with the 150 gr. Partitions and take those loads and those loads only. Keep it simple keep it easy.

    Pretty Gun, Pretty Scenery

    I love my two Ruger 1B's in 6mm Remington and 30-06. Beautiful rifles that are wonderful to carry. Love those #1's!!! Also the 280AI. I had a Winchester Model 70 made into a 280AI. Fantastic cartridge. You done good!

    Looks like it was both fun and productive at the same time. Appears as if you are all set to go do some hunting!

    What do you do with your turkey?

    I don't get real fancy and just warm up about 1/2 a cup of butter until it's soft or liquid and then I rub it all over the turkey and sprinkle some sea salt on it. It goes into my Pit Boss pellet smoker at 225 until it's cooked. It has a water tray in it that I make sure it has water in and...

    Accubond.....discuss

    This is out of my son's 300 WSM and is a 180 gr. Accubond we recovered under the hide on the offside shoulder of his nice cow elk at about 150 yards broadside. She dropped on the spot and never moved. I "borrowed" Guy's really neat picture that he did using one of the Nosler books as a...
