The 338-06 is a cool "06" based case. Super easy to load for. I had a TC Encore with a 24" barrel. Velocities with a 200 gr NAB was 2750. I now have a Ruger Compact Mag in 338 RCM which throws the 200 gr close to 2700 fps. I killed a few elk with both of them, and they work really well...

Salmonchaser, I ordered a pair of Kast gears MX Pro gloves...Merry Christmas to me! I should get them Tuesday. And they were on sale...$35. D

Howdy folks, this is probably the wrong place for this, but this is about hunting, so here goes. I am looking for some light weight water proof gloves for hunting deer and elk in the left coast rain forest. I have a set of fancy Cabela's wooltimate gloves, but they barely fit into the trigger...

I happen to have a Benchmade Saddle Mountain and it is the scariest sharp knife I have ever owned! I skinned a bull with it last season and barely affected how sharp it was. I sent it in to Benchmade for their eversharp program and it came back sharper than when I first got it. They do indeed...

We are heading to Fort Rock unit ourselves! I am heading over tonight after work. Looking forward to the forecasted rain on Sunday and Monday...more specifically, what happens afterward. D

I have a 7mm rem mag. I believe it has a 1 in 9.5 twist, could be 1 In 10. I do have some 160 ab that do show some promise. I also have some 150 ablr also. My load for the 168 ablr was 65gr 7828, which should be close to 2900 fps. frustrating that Nosler shows loads for this bullet , but...

Here it is about a month before deer season and I am still trying to develop a load for my 7mm. I have had varying luck so far with the 168 gr LRAB. I decided I would just go with a stiff charge of 7828 as it was doing pretty good in my earlier test loads. I set up two different seating depth...

howdy folk's, not sure if this should be here or in off topic, but I am talking about hunting, so....Anyone out there use a 29'er style mountain bike for their hunting vehicle? I hunt in an area where there are road closures and biking in is a good way to cover some ground. Since the roads...

I wear progresive bifocals as well and I've noticed while at the range I fuss with my glasse all the time trying get a good sight picture. For me it all comes down to good form while at the bench. I use scopes that tend to have smaller objectives and are therefore mounted low on the rifle. I...

We have applied for controlled hunts for central Oregon buck late in September. Cow elk that runs from end of Nov to the end of March. Then I applied for one each of the new Premium hunts for deer and elk. If I don't draw any of these controlled hunts, then it will be OTC for deer and elk...

bb66, I always sold mine so I could afford another, the problem is a lot of the times the new one wasn't as good as the one it replaced. The good news is the M77 22-250 is owned by my elk hunting buddy, so I can shoot it whenever I want. He just put a Shilen barrel on it! D

for me it's the guns I wish I had not sold. I had a BRNO Mauser .308 Norma bench rifle with a nice myrtle wood thumbhole stock...never shot it! A .44 mag Bisley Blackhawk. An old tang safety M77 varmint in 22-250. And finally, An Antonio Zoli 12 ga O/U with vent ribs and color case hardened...

I got all twisted up about powder consumption about 20 years ago. I sold my old 7mm m70 and got a 25-06, then a .308, then a 338-06, a .280, and my .338 rcm. I finally come to realize that saving 5 or 6 grains of powder per shot really doesn't mean much. I also realized I was comparing all...

I don't think mama will let me buy another rifle like 2 weeks after I bought my last one. on a good note, I just got back from the range breaking in the barrel on the hawkeye 7mm. had 2 loads that the gun really liked. 160 AB/7828 shot 4 into 1/2" with 5 into 1 1/4" 150 BT/4350 shot 4 into...

Morning folks, I just seen on Gallery of Guns. 35 whelen Ruger hawkeye standard. Depending on where you get them they are around $560. D

For you pellet grill owners. Try this recipe from the Treager webpage. Sorry no pics, but my dear wife said it was the best elk steak she ever had. She was a little apprehensive about the onions, but she gobbled up a bunch of them. She doesn't care for elk that much as it has always been...

My first call to them didn't go so well. Then I was inquiring about getting a guide gun stock for my compact mag. The gal I talked would not go any further after I told her what I wanted to do. She said without a guide gun s/n she couldn't help me. I called back sometime later and got a...

Hey Teach, I just picked up a new Hawkeye 7RM off of gallery of guns for $558. I have not shot it yet, but if it shoots as well as my old tang safety M77 I will be happy. D

I took delivery of my new Hawkeye ss/comp 7mm mag last Saturday. I was actually looking through the owners manual and noticed a parts list. I also noticed this new Hawkeye has socket head cap screws for the stock and guard screws. So I called Ruger customer service and asked to order 3 sets...

Ah yes, slings...I remember taking my baby bro out for his first deer hunt. We lived in the Willamette unit and any deer was legal. I told him to be ready as we crossed from one field to the next and sure enough a nice fat doe was on the other side of the field. I told him to shoot! Seconds...
