I always liked the looks of the screw-turned Nosler Partitions, especially after I shot my first Rocky Mountain mule deer in Idaho in 19(mumble). I think I still have some .375/300gr and .284/160gr. jim

I started reloading with a Lee hand unit in .30-'06 in 19 (mumble), slow but they shot well and I could have 165 gr loads which were not available in those days. Later I got a RCBS Rock Chucker that I could clamp to a small folding table from a rumage sale that lived in a closet. jim

I shot the 130 gr VLD 130 gr from my 6.5-'06 on a Wyoming antelope hunt. These bullets hit hard, at least they did for me on speed goats. Accurate too with MRP but I didn't chrono the load. jim

I have shot it now in my .500 inline and my .451 side hammer, works well with #11 caps and cleans up with one patch (not much residue). I got an email this morning from Alliant and they are working with the DOT now on shipping approval, they expect summer availability of Black Dot. Meanwhile...

I shot some of the BlackMag XP last week, and it is extremely clean burning, almost no residue at all. I asked Alliant when they would have Black Dot in their pipeline, but no answer yet...jim

I drew a non-resident combo deer license in Montana this year, no onward to the deer special area draw in June. ;) jim

The most accurate bullets I have shot were hand-made 6mm in my benchrest rifle. They would shoot tenths. ;) jim

I would go with the Leup. VX3, and most recently I got their 2.5-8X scope. I have shot out to 400 yards on a range with a .308 Win and a VXIII 1.75-6X Leup. scope, and I found 6X at 400 to need a little help. For me that means 8X to 10X. I have not needed more magnification, and I have used a...

I would be hanging out at Auction Arms then. Gunbroker is bigger but I have heard their buyer support is not great...jim

They are protecting us from the evil Canucks while ignoring the Islamists entering on "student" visas, eh? jim

I have some Barnes Original .264/165 gr Semi-Spitzers, I don't know of anything heavier. Norma sells several 156 gr bullets too. I thought Nosler was using the Wiseman barrels in the NCRs...jim

I have fired the M798 in .375 H&H as a Remington sponsored shoot (with their ammo!), and the rifle I used was smooth (already broken in) and shot well. I would not be afraid to buy one. I liked the two thin graphite pieces included in the laminated stock. Try CDNN Investments, I think they...

I don't know who originated that, but it was good enough to steal. I am sneaking up on 70 now and wear glasses, but you can work with a shooting optometrist and keep on hunting...jim

Unfortunately many of these companies sell untested products. If the US FDA catches up with them, they drop the product and come up with another one. They never seem to have any peer-reviewed science showing the effectiveness of their stuff, and the plural of anecdote is not data. ;) jim

I would also look at the Ashley XS Sight for this application. http://www.xssights.com/store/rifle.html jim

You could return it for repair. I think they were telling you what they would do. I think they are great glass with good reliability based on my testing, but too heavy and bulky for my hunting rifle needs. jim

I have the Decot HiWyd shooting glasses as well, also a set of Sunbusters prescription glasses. I am 67 now, and have been shooting with glasses for about 50 years. The best approach is to work with a doctor who knows shooting and shooters, and can recommend what you need for your eyes. I have...

I had A-Square build a .450 Ackley in their Hannibal model. It came in at 11 pounds, and I never could get used to how it handled. It went down the road donated to an SCI fund-raiser...jim

Dave, There are a lot of .375 H&H rilfes out there, but way fewer .300 H&Hs. Depending on what rifle it is, I would think about keeping the .300 H&H and just acquiring a .300 Ruger for AK. jim

The Mike Walker trigger design was used on the 721/722 and the 700 up until Rem changed to the XMarkPro design recently. They can be adjusted, and it isn't difficult. You can find directions with your favorite search engine. jim
