Why is there even a "politics" section? IMO, have the Nosler Admins delete it. If people want to talk politics, the go to Facebook or some other forum for that.
Reading this thread, I'm beginning to wonder if the VX3 scope on my 338RUM (kicks like a mule) was the reason for my miss on a very close bull elk in 2022 and not me. I no longer felt comfortable with my 250AB load I worked up many years ago (it was a hot load), so I worked up a new 250AB load...
While not reloading oriented, Santa brought the wife and I a Jackery 1000 Plus solar generator with 2 100W bi-facial solar panels. We have stopped using propane lanterns and minimizing battery powered lanterns to rechargeable lanterns during our fall hunt. She uses a C-PAP and the small power...
FWIW, I have a 30-06 Weatherby Vanguard Sporter that I have a 180AB load worked for it. As for OAL, I was able to get out 3.39" and still function in the magazine. So first and foremost, find out how far out you can go and still have it function in the magazine. Then start working on a load...
You made me look for when I joined. WOW, May 12, 2005. It's been 19 years. Although I'm not as active as I once was, I still check the "New Posts" almost every day.
Well, it's looking like I'll be having tag soup again this year for elk and deer. Since 10 Oct, I have only seen bucks on private property that I don't have permission to access. I've been pack my 7mmRUM loaded with 150 ETs. :(
I've been using the Leupold std base/ring set on all of my rifles, from 204 Ruger up to my 338WM, including my 300RUM. Now with my 338RUM, I tried the std base/rings and it destroyed the rear mount & ring within 4 shots. I found some 30mm Talley 2pc ring/base on sale. When I got my 375RUM, it...
I put the wife and I in for the Idaho unit 69 controled hunt regular antlered deer hunt this spring. As usual, not selected. I searched the IDFG website to find what tags were left over from prople not buying their tags by 1 Aug. There was one tag available for this hunt in the second chance...
I use Leupold rings and bases. See if they make an offset front mount. I had to go get on for my wife's Savage 110 ultralite to get the scope back enough to get the proper view through the scope.
When I find a bullet/powder load that works for me, I don't bother trying any other recipes. Especially now that components are hard to fine and I don't want to burn through what I do have.
I don't have any I dread loading for, but the one thing I don't like doing for any of them is preparing new brass. Long tedious process, lube, F/L size, trim all to a specific size then clean and put away.
Yes Sir.
Fortunately I bought ammo and brass for the Nosler 30 & 26 when I bought them in 2017. I scored big on Midway and got 7 boxes Nosler Trophy Grade 180AB for the Nosler 30 at around $38 a box. Scored again this year when a local gun shop had Nosler brass for the 30 at 20% off the retail...
When you have all four Rem Ultramags and a Nosler 30 & 26, I can't afford to buy ammo for them. That is of course if you can find ammo for any of those calibers. The other calibers I have, finding ammo with the bullet I want to use is dang near impossible.
