    3 Rifle Battery

    As I will never go to Africa, I currently have a 3 Rifle Battery for my hunting needs. They are .223, 280 AI and 300 WM. With 60 plus years I really can't think of a better combination for most hunting needs. My 4th rifle is a 22 LR. For North American hunting I can't think of anything better,

    Dad's 700.

    After he passed, I kept my dads rifles for several years, then realized that them being locked up in a safe brought me no joy what so ever. He had a wide variety some of which he did not even shoot. As there were no hunters in the family (other than me) I started gifting them to friends (to...

    Hi All

    Hi All I realize that you haven't heard from me in a while. I thought this was a good time hare my recent North Eastern Oregon hunt as we had similar circumstances as many others. Our scouting day was great and we did find some elk where expected. As we had a 3.5 mile 2,000 foot climb to get...

    Fast 308 Winchester Load

    Great write up Guy, I have been using 44.5 grains of Varget for several years, behind the SMK, and have seen similar groups. My 308 is my plinking rifle, and I take it south in the winter for Coyotes. I use a similar load with soft point bullets.

    I'm doing it

    Congratulations Jim, you have achieved a milestone. A bit of advice, do not stop, start a new hobby,stay busy and active. I have known about too many guys who put their feet up set back in the couch and died a few short years later. Start an exercise program, the tv is not your friend, don't...

    Organizing the Loading Room...

    I will not live long enough to use mine up. I am constantly cleaning up my room as I also use it for the storage of my hunting clothes, packs, boots and my daily hiking and work clothes. In addition my bowflex, treadmill, pressure tank for the well, a pile of sewing material (not mine), are...

    Reloading Accubond Question

    I have been loading my 300 WM since 1975 with 70 + grains of H4350, accuracy is outstanding with sub 1" groups common. I load them at 3.30, mine likes the 180 gr Speer flat base as well as the Sierra Match King. Its a wonderful all around hunting rifle with Nosler Partitions up front.

    Nosler or Norma Brass vs WW

    I have used all of them. The RP brass is a little thicker/heavier than the WW, therefore smaller in volume, hence more pressure, and more velocity. . I load them the same but I would be careful around maximum loads. Several years ago I was searching for the most accurate load in my Remington...

    That’s a wrap.

    Every time we lose a pet our little world pauses while we process and try to understand the why's. We like big dogs, and they are normally NOT, long lived even with the best of care. I can understand the loss, but life never stops. and we need to accept what is given to us and move on the best...

    Has anyone have ABLR's....

    I have tried them in 3 different , 7 mm rifles with less that stellar results. Occasionally i can get a 1.5 MOA group, but not consistently. The AB's do better. Right now if anyone cares my .308 Shoots the Nosler Custom Comp into dime sized groups. This is the most accurate rifle I have...

    Supplies making a comeback ?

    I got 200 Nosler ballistic tips in the mail yesterday, $100 shipped. A fair price and adds to my stash of 180 gr bullets. Earlier in the week I got 3 pounds of Hodgon RL for muzzleloaders and 5O, 295 gr 50 Caliber Bullets . I am doing fine, if I could get 200, .284, 160 AB's I would be good...

    Not Feeling It

    I am 75 and want to say I am slowing a little, but that would mean that instead of going at it 150% I have moved down a little. I am more comfortable in familiar places but will be hunting a new area in Washington this year. I will be using a traditional MZ instead of a CF so it would be safe...
