What you just said 6mm Rem in your post hit the nail on the head. There are some GREAT folks out there that will help one out, I know I have been one of those guys. Thanks again for the post and I hope she does come back to our site to visit and tell the rest of the story.

Wow, nice buck! I can hear her now " When are we going hunting again?". Or even hear, now I'm ready for Moose and Elk hunt. Great job!

JD MAG, Great pic's, and a awesome shot you two made. Looks like it was kind of warm out there, what was the weather like? Will we see a YouTube video soon of the hunt?? 8)

Nice Moose, I'm sure by now you have ate some correct? What area did you shoot the monster? Again, a job well done! 8)

Now all it takes is for someone to come back and say, "Hey, I live in Alaska and would love for a group to come up and try their hand at Moose or Caribou". When I looked at going to Alaska I thought that "Non-Resident" had to have a Certified Guide or hunt with someone that is a Resident of...

I learned alot from this last guided caribou hunt, which was my first ever guided hunt. The guides only quartered the bou and took the back starp also but left the rest. What a waste of meat! They told me that my plan load limit is 65 lbs per bou so that's why only qtrs. I told my son then...

I was lucky on my Moose hunt in Maine, we were able to get two ATVs hooked up to it a dragged it half mile to the trailer. Saw on TV today two guys on a self guided hunt for Moose in Alaska. Wow, they shot the Moose just over two miles from their base (tent) camp and had to make 4 trips to...

OK, I’m finally back from the land of many Caribou and north of Alabama which is called Canada. Scotty, thought I would post the final hunt report here at this post so it could help others in obtaining a load for their 270. I will leave the pictures of the hunt on the other post titled “270...

Thought the group would like to see one of the Caribou with a Satellite collar on. She walked within 25 yards of us, could not read the tag number. We would see 60-80 Bou a day like these with Cow/calfs. Never saw a heard bigger than 20 but they just kept comeing. The Bulls we shot all came...

OK, here is one of my Caribou that I took with my 270 A-bolt using the outstanding 140 Accu Bond. Here is the second Bou with my son Ed and I. Sorry for the blood in the photo, Hurricane Earl was closing in on us so things happened so quick.

Doc, When I click the "img" thingy I do not get the script note to enter the link address. Not sure whats going on :?:

ALL, I’m back from the greatest hunt that I think that I have ever been on. The Caribou hunt went as all of you had said it would be. Scotty and Doc Mike, you were both on target with what I was going to see. I did not get that 400 yard shot, just a short and quick 30 and a 40 yard shot if I...

Oldtrader, I finally ended up going with IMR 4831 with 55.8 gr. The groups with H4831sc just would not stay tight. IMR was 2880 fps with .53 groups and that's touching the BOSS system so I'm heading out Friday for Montreal and on to Labrador Saturday for the big hunt. Thanks all for the...

Thanks all for the good information. I just finished loading the loads for the next range day. Decided to go with 3 choices them being H4831 at 59.0 and 59.5 also FL22 at 58.5 and 59.0 then ending up with IMR 4831 at 55.0, 55.5 and 56.0. Hope they all give me over 2800 fps and the half inch...

Badgerfan, No it's not to late yet. Went to the range today and I think I have found the load. Looks like IMR 4831, 57 gr seated at 3.26 OAL. It came in at .63 group size with all touching. The velocity average was 2879 so I think I will load another coulpe of 3 round groups and head back...

Here are the results from Yesterdays range. As you can see the highest velocity is 2830, seems like my rifle can’t touch the 3000 or 2900 speed. The S/T by 3 groups means that there were 2 rounds touching in the 3 round shot group and that it could have been me that pushed the round out? All...

DrMike, thanks again for the word of wisdom. I live for Marksmanship, having shot competition for Army on both pistol and Rifle on post level teams and I love to shot. The only difference is Army supplied the ammo so this is a new world. Thanks again for the info.

Wow, now my head is really hurting. I thought over 28 years of Army life was rough but this stuff has got me fired up. Thanks Sniper for the layout of the in’s and out’s of velocity. I thought that one would need to know the velocity to be able to understand the bullet drop for sub long...

Thanks Doc, I will keep that in mind. So, what is that magic velocity that I should stop at when using other loads? If other load of 140 grain bullet takes it up to 2900 fps would that not be OK?? You say start low and adjust up, what it max up till th case starts to crack then I know I at...

Thanks for the info OldMan. You have got me thinking on the different loads that one can try. So can I use other load books with other bullet manufactures using same bullet weight and start with bottom powder grain and work up? I have other books but thought that using Nosler bullets I should...
