    Another successful night of coyote calling

    This time I didn't get the shooting, but my buddy Jimmy who was with me the other night got his turn. He shot this female with his 17HMR (despite offering my 204) at 125 yards. We were calling from a clearcut toward the swamp. 2 for 2 past 2 outings 4 days a part...really liking those odds...

    Good thing I bought my 2015 small game license this evening

    45 minutes later, this happened. The 204 Ruger struck again! 250 yard shot and one dead Michigan coyote. It was good to get the ole CZ out again!

    Ruger bolt action 17WSM

    Has anyone seen one for sale yet? I heard Ruger announced they are going to take on this chambering at the SHOT show. There is a lot of ammo available for it even at Wal-Mart in my area. Savage's BMAG version has been reported to have a lot of function and accuracy issues so I have held off...

    Help me pick the hunting load

    With all your help I was able to put together a very accurate load in my 25-06 with 100 BT bullets all touching at 100 yards. Today I did the same thing with the 100 Partition using the same charge of IMR 7828SSC. The only difference is the Partition shoots 2" lower dead center of the Ballistic...

    25-06 bullet

    I have been really hoping to get the 115 BT to shoot well in my rifle using RL 22, IMR 4350 and IMR 7828SSC but have not been finding very good consistency. A shame, as I like the idea of using this bullet with it's high bc of .455 for coyote and deer at mid-long range. On my shelf, I have a...

    17 wsm?

    I recently stumbled across this cartridge. Have any of you tried it out yet. Seems it might be a great choice for night hunting predators in Michigan, where rimfire or shotgun is the only option after dark.

    adjustable bjective crucial to accuracy at 400+ yds?

    I have a 25-06 that is very accurate shooting 115 bt's. Currently, it is sighted in with a 4-12x vortex diamondback scope with "dead on hold" reticle but has no a.o. My goal with this rifle is to shoot coyotes at 400-500 if presented the oppurtunity. I have been debating if I should take the...

    Great Night at the Range with the 25-06

    I was hoping that I could get my new Encore Pro-Hunter barrel to shoot the 115 ballistic tip for the high bc capability in order to shoot long range coyotes and also mule deer this year. Looks like it is going to work out! This group was shot at 100 yards. Next test will be to try further with...

    black bear down

    Copied text from facebook: Shot my first black bear this evening and was also my longest shot on a big game animal at 368 yards verified by lazer range finder. A huge thank you to MSgt Schlade for spotting it, traversing the mountain side and finding it as well as helping me pack out the...

    25-06 Primer Question

    I'm going to start working up test loads soon in 25-06 using the 115 bt bullets as I'm going for long range and really windy day coyotes so I want the high bc. For powder I have RL-22, IMR 4350, and H4350. As for primers I have a better supply of Fed215 than I do Fed 210. Can I get away with...

    I am looking for a bullet suggestion that will cover deer, black bear and elk. The rifle is a m70 featherweight. I have had no luck in accuracy with 140 accubonds or ttsx trying go to powders for other 7mm08s to inlude both 4350s, Varget, 4064, and H4895. I am leaning toward trying 150...

    Will the older triggers fit new production models? I do not like my new "adjustable" trigger.

    Coyote Hunt

    A few weeks ago I posted in the classifieds that I was looking for some 204 brass for my CZ rifle. I also posted on the Predatormasters forum and got a reply from someone who had plenty about 30 minutes from me. I left my phone number and he called me that night and asked me if I was planning...

    Help Me Downsize :)

    I am looking at reducing my TC Encore/Contender rifle collection and get back into bolt actions. Currently, I have a M70 7mm Rem Mag that I love and will never part with. I would like to have only 2 other rifles- one for predator and the other mainly for deer and occasional predators. Should...

    What do you think is the best bullet out there to cover coyote to deer? Can both be done well with one?

    Wife's first deer

    With just a few minutes before last shooting light and 8 deer froze in their tracks with our scent in their nose, my wife shot this doe, her first at 352 yards from my 7mm Rem Mag on 8x using 160 Partition. Stacey shot from the prone position with the rifle rested on her backpack with the cross...
