"You do not want your first experience to end with tracking a wounded elk, or worse, losing that animal." My experiences bow hunting. The black bears were living high on the "hog".

Have a super lightweight 308 with a 2-7 power scope I have been using for mule deer in steep mountains. Best bullet so far accuracy wise is a 178 ELD X at 2550 fps. Would like to us the rifle for elk in the steep and wondering which bullet I have on hand to use. Distance is limited by the...

So am considering getting some seconds from Midway that appear from purchasers comments to be the Hornady ELD X but with a flat poly point instead of a sharp one. Would mostly be using them for target. Just wondering how to figure the change in BC versus the first quality items and if it is...

Will they be selling a. barrel with each 500 rounds. I had a little Yamaha RD 250 back in the day. Racers would outdo the 750's with them. But they rebuilt the engine for each race.

Nope, for grouse and such don’t want expansion. Here they start to tumble past 100 yards. This is 13 shots, Bullseye is 1.5". 7.8 grains TG, 168 grain Sierra Match.

My 308's love trailboss and titegroup with 168 grain eld m. Around 8 grains of titegroup or 10 grains of trailboss. Also 170g cast bullets with 8 grains of IMR green. All are around 1050 fps. Use for target and small game inside 100 yrds. Haven't tried them at longer distance.

A long 25-284 with fast twist and room for a long bullet. For hunting on the prairie half a section distant.

Yup, Wipeout. You can leave it in overnight, tilted down and blue will drool out the end.

I find Hodgdon's starting load for a 300 grain Sierra Gameking bullet using Staball 6.5 very accurate. 53 Ft Lbs recoil in a 7 pound rifle. They have load data for a 270 grain Hornady. I would try the Staball 6.5 or the IMR 4350. My favorite for a jacketed bullet is 250 grain Sierra Gameking...

375 Ruger 22" barrel 250 Grain Sierra Gameking Staball 6.5 Ran out of IMR 4350 which worked very well.

Best powders in my 275 rigby improved, 22 inch barrel, short action- Imr 4350 Rx 17 W Staball 6.5

i have a 375 ruger that is light weight. It does hurt to shoot full power 300 grain bullet loads. I even put a small sand bag against my shoulder on the bench then. However hand loading makes it a much more useful gun. grouse/bunny/gallery- round ball and 5 grains bullseye off hand practice...

Cons: "another cartridge to load for. " I think you meant Pros:

I have seen people say that Magnum Primers are useful with Ball powders, esp. in cold weather. Would that be a thing with the new Winchester Staball powders?

How many is a case?

Cast bullets seem to settle down and shoot better groups after the first few down a clean barrel for me.

Titegroup seems to be a useful replacement. It's $34 per lb at North 40

The only powder I had go bad was from WW2. Surplus 4895. H335 from the same time worked okay. I am currently shooting the last of a can of Dupont Pistol #6 in a 44 mag. Using Primers in wooden trays.

Local place had it for $27. I think Sportsman and others are gouging.
