That's an interesting post. I was reading on another site that has more than one forum related to hunting Africa the there has been some complaining that the outfitters over there charge higher prices for Americans that for people from other countries. That goes for trophy fees and taxidermy as...

358Goat said, "I've got test loads made up with 154gr RN bullets that I looked high and low to find. In general it's my experience that those round nose bullets hit harder. Very likely this is just my subjective perspective." Maybe not.There's an interesting book titled AFRICAN RIFLES AND...

I'm afraid I can't be of mch help. I'm not even sure I've shot my 7MM em. Mag. amd I don't own a .300 WSM. I did however do the load work up for my son in law's M70 Featherweight in .300 WSM. but he wanted to use IMR4831 and the 165 gr. Nosler Ballistic Tip bullets that was suggested to him by a...

I second the PAST recoil pad. I use the magnum size when I shoot my 375x338 Win, Mag, a wildcat that duplicates the performance of the .375 H&H in a 7 pound rifle. Normally I don't name my rifles but this one is called "Hammer" because it hit hard at both ends. Paul B.

"and I now wear protection even when shooting a .410." Guess what? Even shooting a .22 LR with a longer barreled rifle will damage your hearing. Like any other cartridge, the noise damage in cumulative. Don't know for sure on .22 longs or shorts but it would not surprise me if they too caused...

A t least three of the cartridges I load for use Winchester Magnum Rifle (WMR) powder which has been off the market for close to 15 to 20 years now. The cartridges are the .270 Win., .280 Rem., and .300 Win. Mag. All three rifle average sub MOA with that powder. Note that I didn't mention the...

Cuz they're sneaky. 🤣 Nice buck. 👍 Paul B.

My Ruger #1A in 7x57 has a 1 in 10" twist and handles the Hornady 175 gr. spitzer reasonably well. Bullet holes in the target appear normally rounded. My Ruger #1B in 7MM Rem. Mag. does a little better probably because of the higher velocity. No idea what the twist rate is in my .280 Rem. but...

I have an internet pen pal that hunts with the .35 Whelen and uses the 250 gr. Speer Hot Core almost exclusively for his serious big game hunting. He has used it on deer, caribou, moose and when he drew a coveted Grizzly Bear tag it was with the Speer bullet. That Speer bullet is plenty...

"Since it was way above book, I probably won’t try and never repeat the load. I was thinking originally I did it with 59.5 grains of H4895, but It was with H322. It still was under Sammy Max 35 Whelen pressure." One thing that most people don't know is that when Remington submitted the .280...

Well if big game fall under the anything edible from Antelope and der on up I wa ould also add wild pigs and I would very much like to take a bobcat and Mountain Lion for the cook pot. I know people that consider both very tasty but will pass on bears. I haven't eaten any of the three but...

Sounds like it might work OK. I use the 225 gr. TSX in my .35 Whelen at 2710 FPS MV and it'll pass through an elk from exhaust pipe to appetite. I thought I'd try it in one of my .358s but I have to seat it too deeply for it to fit on their magazines. Bummer. Once I went to the Whelen the .358s...

I get those questions every time I see one of my doctors. he last time I saw one was this last Thursday. I looked him in the eye and asked, "What do you think? You see me just about every two weeks and ask me the same questions and I give you the same answers. Do you really think anything has...

I don't doubt you. My 22" .308 is a Winchester M70 Youth Ranger and has a 1 in 12" twist and I've gotten very useable groups ftom that rifle with the 220 gr. Sierra RN. And people insist that a 220 gr. bullets is of no use in a .308. That's funny as 2400 FPS is what most ammo companies...

I have five rifles chambered to the .300 Wn. Mag. Four are Ruger #1s and the other a Winchester M70. I too wanted to go with a 200 gr. bullet and did the initial work using the 200 gr. Speer Hot Core. The good news is all five will shoot that bullet sub MOA well past what anyone will be shoot at...

I used H4831 for a while then switched to Winchester's now long gone WMR. It gives basiclly the same velouty and better accuracy in my .270 Rifle. It's also a winner in my .280 Rem. and .300 Win. Mag. I have no idea why it's a disaster in the 30-06 but even Winchester's load data showed it as...

Of the ones shown the following is close to results I get in three rifles with no apparent pressure related problems.. +04.0 96 47.84 2804 2619 54628 10712 100.0 1.131 !DANGEROUS LOAD-DO NOT USE! My load is as follows. 48.5 RL17/48.5 gr./2847 FPS Brass is Winchester, Winchester WLR primer...

I've played with H4350 in the 30-06 some but I use Winchester brass and a Remington M700. I use a BDL and a Classic, both rifles having 22" barrels. The bullet though was the Hornady 180 gr. Spire point. I did work up to a hair over 2800 FPS with 58.0 gr. H4350. he BDL was made in 1978 and the...
