Can a .257 Weatherby action be rebarreled to the new 6.5-.300 Weatherby, or is the action too small? Thanks for the help in advance.

Any suggestions for 7mm-08 pet loads using the 140 grain Accubond? Have been running the 120 grain Barnes TSX out of my son's Ruger American Compact but I'm looking for something a bit softer for longer range shots. The 120 shoots 1/2"-3/4" out of this gun, but I have yet been able to get...

I've found a crazy accurate load out of my .300 WSM Browning A-Bolt - it's routinely shooting under .5" at 100 yards using 67.0 grains of IMR 7828 and 180 grain Sierra Gamekings. I don't have a chronograph, and I'm getting differing FPS ratings between the Nosler and Sierra load manuals...

Just returned from a great week in the mountains of NE Oregon hunting second season, spike-only elk. Ended up harvesting 2 spikes between the 6 of us. I took my 11 year old son this year and couldn't have had a better time. Shot this bull within an hour of opening morning. Slipped in on a...

Just returned from a week in the mountains of NE Oregon. Our group of six, harvested four bull elk this year. We hunted the general, second season, spike only hunt. We ended up getting into a herd of 150-200 elk on opening morning early, and took all of these bulls out of that group...Spent...

I've seen in a few online sites that the Federal Copper bullets are actually made by Nosler. Can anyone confirm whether that's the case or not? Thanks.

Preparing for my late August sheep hunt and would like to use Nosler bullets in my .300 WSM. Anyone have any suggested loads for the 165 grain Accubond or Partition? The loads in the Nosler manual seem to be pretty anemic compared to the 180 grains...I thought they'd have more of a velocity...

Just drew a Bighorn Sheep tag for Oregon's Coleman/East Guano unit! I'm still bumbling around and not making much sense. Anyone on this forum who has had that tag and willing to chat about locations to focus on? I'll be taking the family down for a weeks' worth of scouting around the 4th of...

Thought I'd share a few pictures of our Memorial Day bear hunt in NE Oregon. We had a great time in the mountains, and saw 5 bears - 1 large chocolate boar, this blonde sow, and another large black sow with two black cubs. Shot this bear at 356 yards, with a Browning A-Bolt chambered in .300...

Looking for any pet loads you guys might have for the .300 WSM using 165 Grain Partitions or Accubonds. I'm shooting a Browning A-Bolt. Thanks for your suggestions in advance.

Highs in the upper 60's and crunchy snow up high made for a tough elk hunt this year. However, our group was able to harvest a 4X4 and 6X6, during Oregon's 1st season Rocky Mountain Elk hunt. I shot this bull on the third day of the five day hunt, at almost 3,000 feet lower than the...

Just returned from our annual 2013 Oregon Blacktail hunt. This year was tougher than most, incredible wind and rain seemed to have pushed these migrating deer lower than we normally hunt. Ended up shooting this forked horn on opening morning, at 60 yards, with a Browning BAR in .30-06...it was...

I just received a new Browning A-Bolt in .300 WSM and am hoping to develop a load quickly prior to our upcoming elk season. I have the following bullets and primers on hand, and am hoping to hit the range this weekend. Any suggested pet loads would be much appreciated. 180 Grain - Partitions...

Anyone know of an online source for the .243 Accubond, that has them in stock? I've looked everywhere and can't seem to locate any. Thanks in advance!

I was hoping to get some advice on seating depths for the 100 grain Partition in a .243 Browning A-Bolt. I'm hovering right at an inch for three shot groups with 41.5 grains of IMR4350. The bullet touches the lands at 2.715" OAL. I've tried 2.570" for 0.95" and 1.10" groups and 2.680" for a...

Is the only difference between these two powders the cut, and are they totally interchangable as far as load data is concerned? Thanks.

I have an ignorant question...is load data for IMR 7828 interchangeable with IMR 7828 super shot cut, and visa versa? Thanks.

Today's day at the range was long over due, but well worth the wait. I've been tinkering with my Remington 700 SPS in a Bell & Carlson Alaskan Stock for some time now. My best groups were right at 1" with the 180 grain Barnes TSX...until today. The first group was one that I was confirming...

I keep toying with the idea of getting a larger caliber rifle, strictly for bears. I already own a couple .338 Winchester Magnums, and a .300 RUM. I'm wanting something slower and bigger. I'd be interested in hearing everyones opinion between the following calibers. I'm currently leaning...

Pictures from this years' hunts in Oregon. The first is a Southern Oregon blacktail deer, shot at 75 yards, using 165 grain Sierra GameKing hand-loads over 54.3 grains of IMR 4350. The second, is from a Northeastern Oregon, spike-only hunt, for Rocky Mountain elk. Shot at 200 yards with a .300...
