    243 win 80 grain barnes ttsx

    I know things are tight right now but if he could get his hands on Rl-15, it pushes the 80 gr bullets more efficiently than the slower burning H-4350. That’s been my experience anyway. My favourite 243 win load remains Hy-Brid-100 and the 100 gr Nos PT. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Covid shot

    It seems as the whole world has gone off the deep end. Alberta is now doing forced back mandates.. I have held off so far for a variety of reasons 1 is we believe we had it already and recovered. 2 I am only 47 and in decent health with no underlying conditions. 3 it seems to be something...

    Quickloads request 7mm-08

    Not quick load but worked up a couple loads for the 08’ in the last couple years. Both Varget and Rl-15 filled the case nicely but not compressed with 140 gr bullets and both loads topping out just over 40 grs of powder. Good luck on finding a good load Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    308 vs 338 Federal for Elk <450 yds

    Sometimes I believe the more we reload and shoot we start to over think and over analyze things. Admittedly that is some appeal to buying new rifles in different calibers. Guys like my grandfather would grab his model 88 in 308 win grab a box of off the shelf 180gr cupncore bullets and head out...

    '17 Prairie Moose

    Where I live and hunt is about 1-1-1/2 south of where our northern boreal forest starts , its a mix of prairie,pasture and farm land. We call them prairie moose cause they have ranged down from the bush / muskeg to the north. They have adapted well in this area with few predators in comparison...

    '17 Prairie Moose

    No I worded that poorly , bow season ended Oct 31, rifle opens Nov 1. But it was quiet because a Tuesday most guys are at work. This Saturday will see many more people out . I finally blooded the 300 Weatherby using 180 inter-bonds & RL-22. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
