Intial on my new browning 338wm. First off out of the box I measured the trigger pull hair under 4lbs...my last stalker came in the 5's. Pleasantly suprised. :shock: My ship came in for RL19, 25 wasn't there but I could careless as i have 338 on the bean right now. A shooting friend also...

Looks like I'll have to start things off without RL19, my source said it was BO again :roll: . I have several #'s of a proven RL22 lot at my disposal though. I am wondering what type of velocity your seeing, under what charge with RL22(I will work it up properly, just curious). Been...

Thanks all. 210 vs 215's? I admit to being a little leary about 210's when the temp falls well below zero. My rule of thumb has been once you get around 70gr in the case mag primers are used for hunting. I live in western canada (Province of Saskatchewan), often below freezing and have...

Just couldn't resist so I now have a 338wm to get shooting :lol: ! The gun is a NIB Abolt SS Stalker (LH) 26" barrel & leupold DD rings/bases. I plan to put my Zeiss conquest 3x9x40 with Rapid Z600 reticle. Main use will be moose and elk, however I won't rule out using it on deer sized just...

Thanks

I have been considering it but seem to stick with RL22 or 7828, though recent reading has me back on the H1000 treadmill. :lol: What is your thoughts with 154 +gr/H1000 and 24" tube?

Lets compare as I don't see the arguement you've made to be 100% accurate: VXIII 3.5x10x40 ($470) L - 12.5" W - 13oz Bushnell Elite 3200 Firefly 3x9x40 ($210) L - 12.6" W - 13oz Bushnell Elite 4200 Firefly 2.5x10x40 ($380) L - 13.5" W - 16oz Zeiss Conquest 3x9x40 ($400) L- 12.9" W -...

I am very pleased with my Pentax DCF SP's, for the price they are superb. One thing I have been hard on is binos, they just seem to get abused without meaning too. My SP's have been sumbersed on more then one occasion, subjected to the canadian climate and never a hick up. I had 10x42's but...

JD338 are you using T7 pellets or loose? If pellets you really should try loose. Note that it is approx. 15% hotter by volume then pellets of pyrodex charges. So in the 150 pellet designed ML's the max load will be 130grs of loose T7. I only use loose now on the account of being able to...

Thanks for the reply and info. Gives me food for thought. Rem 2506 I have yet to find a 338wm in LH gun that isn't a Browning Stalker or Savage Synthetic - new or used!! (sure these are the only 2 manufacturer's currently chambering the 338wm in LH rifle). It boils down to 325wsm or RUM...

I am wanting some opinions. First of all I have been looking for a .257 cal and or a .338 wm. Being LH my choice are limited and my search has been difficult to say the least. Though recent finds have me thinking. Let me say my interest in the 2 additions is strictly personal & hunting...

I know 2 guys who own the eclipse in 300wm chambering. They are extremely heavy rigs as i am sure you've noticed!!! Provides a benefit with recoil reduction though and staying locked on the target between shots. These 2 shoot good but not starkling better then any other abolt I have seen...

25-06 would be my choice. If partial to sa 7mm 08

RL22, H4831 & IMR7828 Good Luck

Congrats of your guys harvests. In cases such as 340boy's, shoulder hits, etc basically the toughest media a deer presents the TSX seems to be a solid performer. Though in my 2 mentioned deer and others where the rib is the only thing in way of bone it meets the TSX hasn't proved as reliable...

Good Stuff Jerry, congrats to you both. Been busy hunting with the bow and ML since elk season so haven't logged on for a long while. My update of the 160 AB, 100 yard wrap the top of heart put down my 6x5 bull elk down within 20-30 yards. Performance was I have seen in the past, pass thru...

Well my experience has been mixed on the TSX. They fixed the fault of the x being picky in bores for accuracy and copper fouling with the tsx. On 2 bull elk and 1 bull moose the 140 TSX have performed flawlessly from my 7mm rem mag. Only one bullet recovered from the bull moose after entering...

Field report: 250gr sst under 43.5 4759 and 209w primer worked nicely on my first harvest. Mulie doe, approx 125yards behind the shoulder, exited leaving nothing but jello in between and she went down at the hit. I was suprised at how little damage or blood shot. I figured/expected since being...

I've used the 160AB out of my 7mm rem mag to harvest Whitetails, Mulie's, Elk and Moose. I will be again using it this season for elk, deer and possibly black bear if the right one shows himself.
