Just got back from Colorado. What a beautiful setting to hunt mule deer! I shot my buck at 165 yards with my 270 win using 150 gr. Ballistic tip handloads. Bullet was a complete pass thru and left a quarter sized exit. The buck trotted about 10 yards and dropped. We went 3 for 3 on mule...

Wanted to share a pic of my Wy. Pronghorn. My brother and I drew this year and had a great trip! It was a muddy mess but a lot of fun! Found this buck in day 2 and I really liked his look. Bumped him on the stalk (darn doe). Ended up shooting him at 515 yards with my Weatherby Backcountry...

My son shot his best buck to date last week. He used his Remington 700 in 270 Win - 130 gr. BT handloads. Shot was 200 yards after making a stalk up a steep ridge to get elevation on him as he worked a herd of does. Buck was quartering to us slightly. He only made it about 10 yards after...

So with today’s lack of components I have reached a point where I need to start using other components. I reload my 270 win using Win brass and WLR primers. I’m now out of WLR primers and have CCI 200’s and CCI magnum primers. My understanding is that the WLR is a “hotter” primer. If that...

I had the incredible honor to help my Dad fulfill a lifetime dream of killing a Shiras Moose. He has been applying for as long as I can remember. This was an incredibly difficult hunt filled with setback after setback. But, we persevered and the tough luck and hard efforts paid off with this...

Monday morning my brothers long awaited (22years) Limited Entry hunt for elk started. He has been scouting the area like a mad man and had found 4-5 bulls that were first day shooters. We packed in Sunday night about a mike and a half and set up our spike camp. We had bulls bugling all around...

This past week I was fortunate enough to shoot my first Coues buck, twice. Shot was 565 yards. I use H4831 in a Win brass and primer. Shot was quartering away slightly. Entered near the last rib and the bullet was found under the hide in front of the off side shoulder. If you look closely you...

My brother and I just returned from our first Az Coues hunt. The travel was terrible with snow packed roads but the hunting was really fun! We both managed to find bucks we are really happy with. Cory Shot his buck at 325 yards with his 270 WSM and 150 gr. SST. One shot right thru the...

Could I please get a QL report on this bullet with H4895 powder. My dad wants to try it since he has a bunch of powder on hand. Thank you.

My son Dustin shot this cow elk Saturday morning. 250 yard shot with his Rem 700 .270 Win. Handloaded 130 gr BT. He hit her right behind the crease and she only took about 10 steps before dropping. We had my daughters boyfriend along for his first hunt. He got first shot but missed. We have...

My buddy wants help developing a load for the 130 gr. TTSX. It will primarily be for mule deer and cow elk. Open to powders and any insight you may have used or recommend. I have used H4831 with great success in my 270’s. Thoughts?

My wife put the 7mm-08 to work this morning. She made a great shot at 200 yards. The hand-loaded 120 gr. BT did the job again!

My daughter was able to shoot this buck yesterday late afternoon. Shot was about 80 yards slightly quartering broadside. Savage 7mm-08 120 gr. Ballistic tip handloads. Buck only made it about 20 yards. No bullet recovery as it passed thru. I will add a couple of entry and exit hole pics for...

My brother, son, and I were fortunate enough to go to Wyoming this year after deer. We bowhunted with some close calls, then went back with our rifles. We were blessed with 3 nice bucks. My buck shot with a Weatherby backcountry in 270 Win. 150 gr. ballistic tip handloads. 525 yards. Sons...

My 15 year old daughter shot her first elk Friday. This was a late season cow tag. We found the herd around 1 pm. She made a great shot at 225 yards and she went down quickly. Rifle is a savage 7mm-08 topped with a Vortex Viper scope. She was using hand loaded 139 gr. Interbonds on top of...

Just returned from beautiful Wyoming! My brother and I have been up three times this year trying to fill our elk tags. The first two trips were on the archery hunt. This was our first year hunting the general season tag. My brother missed a bull on the bowhunt. I did not get a shot until...

Would someone please run a QL entry for me? I'm looking for estimated fps for my sons .270 win. It has a 20" barrel. Shooting H 4831 and 130 gr. Nosler Ballistic Tips. My buddies chronograph is out of service and I am hoping QL will get us in the ball park. Thank you.

My son just bought an AR. We are interested in your thoughts on what is the preferred bullet weight and maybe a few powders to try. We would like to use shooters pro shop to cut costs so nosler bullets preferred. I already have plans to load the 64 gr. BSB but also looking for bullet to shoot...

I am trying to get the MV for my load. .50 cal. Inline muzzy 70 gr. By weight BH 209 100 gr. By volume .452 300 gr. Hornady XTP Mag MMP HPH -24 sabot 26" barrel CCI Mag primer

Here is an XTP MAG shot from a .50 cal muzzy at approximately 75 yards using 70 gr. by weight of BH 209. The entrance was the point of the right shoulder and it was found under the hide next to the tail on the left hind quarter. To say I was impressed is an understatement.
