I want to take this winter and try to really maximize my LAW 280 AI. The 140 nosler accubond was great in it as a factory load this fall so that is the bullet I want to play with. My goal is to find accuracy, safely in the 3250 FPS range which should be doable. I had my mind set on Re 26, but...

One last deer trip this year to fill my Idaho Non Resident tag. As a resident, I always buy one so I can harvest 2 deer in a season and use the second one as a "trophy tag" Well I found "that" buck... Was bedded on a knife ridge 3 miles from the trailhead. He is right at 30" wide and grosses...

Was able to get out this last weekend here in Idaho and harvest this nice 3x4 muley. This is buck one as I always buy my Idaho tag and then buy a Non Resident tag so you can harvest 2 deer in a year. I will be back up this weekend looking for a big guy to put tag 2 on. Was a great hunt with a...

So last Sunday I was able to harvest a nice black bear here in idaho... viewtopic.php?f=5&t=36141 What wasn't shared in that post was that I had a little adventure with my load. The load I had worked up was 1/2-3/4" load - 77.0 of n540, cci 250's and a 260 partition in Hornady Brass. This load...

Bear Selfie Saturday? I surely earned this one. Found him heading down for a drink 4 miles in, in some nasty country. 215 yard shot with the 375 H&H and 260 Nosler Partition at 2800 FPS put him down for the count. However, like all bears, he found a crap hole to die in...my pack was as heavy as...

So I have been playing with another 270 (cant have too many) This one is a Tikka t3x Superlight (22.5" fluted barrel) That is bedded in a McMillan Sako Classic Stock with Talleys and a Swaro Z3 4-12X50 BT on it - Barrel is fully floated and I adjusted the trigger down to 2.5 pounds...Great...

Morning of Sept 12th, I will be leaving Boise, headed north to the Liard River Hotsprings area to hunt with Gunson Outfitters for Moose and Caribou. Excited is an understatement - other than the 31 hour drive...lol This is a remote horseback hunt near the Yukon border. Will focus on a big Trophy...

Leupold knocked it out of the park and had me a new scope in hand in a week (VXR 2-7X33 went bad on the 375 H&H) after explaining I had a moose/caribou/grizz hunt in BC coming up very quick and this was the rifle I was taking. (Much Respect to Them) So I got it mounted in a little better system...

Am I the only one having a heck of time finding these? Everyone is either out of stock or back ordered? Is Nosler cutting production on them? I finally found "the load" for my 375H&H (260 Nos., 77 of n540, cci 250) for 2850 FPS and 1/2-3/4" accuracy, but I am out of bullets and cant find any...

I am hoping it doesn't come to it...and for now wont go into details cause I am hoping Leupold can fix the problem... but... There may be the chance I will be taking my 270 WSM on my Northern BC moose/caribou adventure. This is a very accurate gun that can shoot long, but thats not going to...

So tomorrow morning I will head down and pick up my Whittakers Special - Tikka 22-250 1/8 twist. I have some talleys and for now (just so I can shoot it) will throw a 3-9x40 zeiss conquest on it. (I am thinking a SS 3-9X will be its permanent scope down the road) I want to use this as a LW back...

The last couple weeks I have been doing final tweaking to my loads and shooting - a bunch! (60+ 375 rounds and my shoulder is tender right now lol) So as of today with it being 50 days out till I leave to Northern BC/Yukon border area to go chase Monster Moose, Mountain Caribou, and possibly a...

Has anyone played around with this combo yet? I just ordered some of the bullets and have some reloader 26 I would love to try....If i can accurately push this to 3100-3200 FPS - WOW....

Stocky's had a McMillan in stock so I ordered it last week for my Vanguard DGR 375 H&H. Was going to do a bunch of mods on it for a moose hunt this September, but have recently decided against it. Going to get the new McMillan bedded and start working up a load.(playing with r15 and 270 tsx...

As of today, I am officially 90 days out to my Northern BC moose hunt. I will be taking my recently purchased Weatherby Vanguard DGR 375 H&H rifle on this hunt. Being that I am a rifle tinker and for me this is a very expensive hunt, I am trying to customize this rifle to provide the very best...

Talleys came in today so I was able to get the new scope mounted on the 270. Its a VX6 2-12X42 Plex CDS. This scope replaces the 3-9x40 Zeiss Conquest it had before. I did this in an attempt to better utilize it's capabilities as a mid range (out to 600 yards) big game rifle. (Even though I have...

Is it common for a barrel to gain velocity after proper breakin? Last summer, I put a new Shilen Barrel on my .270. I finished it at 24.75". I put approx 100 rounds down it (Barnes, Accubonds, Partitions) to break it in and develop a load for 2016 fall hunting season. I ended up settling on...

Wife doesn't know yet, but I am working on that... Ordered a new Tikka T3X Lite SS 22-250 W/ 1/8" Twist. This is a special run that is being offered by Whittaker's. Going to load 75-80 grain VLD type bullets and sling them out really far at the steel. Got a SWFA SS 10X42 MIL/MIL that I will put...

Was able to get out to the range today to shoot my new 375 H&H. I had it bedded by the gunsmith and wanted to see what she could do. All my loads were Hornady Brass, CCI 250 primers, RE-15, and 250 BARNES TTSX and 270 BARNES TSX. With the 250's, I started at 72.0 grains to get sighted in and on...

One of the dumbest things I have done in the last couple years was sell my Ruger 77 Afican 375 Ruger...It was killing me not having a 375. So when Sportsman's ran this on sale, I had to have it... Weatherby Vanguard DGR in 375H&H. Has B&C stock, NECG sights, and a very crisp trigger. Gun is 7...
