338 RUM, but I don't know why. It goes to the range more than any other rifle I own , even if just for a shot or two. And every hunt I do, no matter which rifle I ultimately take, its on the short list.
I saw a woodchuck in a field a while back and that was the rifle I choose to dispatch it...
Looking for Data for RL23 and Barnes 168 TTSX for my 300RUM. I've been loading RL22, Only thing I found was Speer data for a 165 and I was surprised how much different the loads were from RL22 to RL23 as I had heard they had a pretty close burn rate. I called Barnes a while back they had...
When I called them I ask them to install a taller fiber optic front sight and was willing to pay. They told me they didn't do custom gunsmithing. My back up plan was to contact Williams gun sight here in MI to see if they could do it. Maybe you could try them. Mine is shooting good enough I'm...
Earlier this year I called them about a Super Black hawk 44 mag. I purchased in 1986 . It had always shot high I called to ask if they could put a taller front sight on. they said they couldn't but could I sent the gun in so they could look at it. I did , 2 weeks later I had it back . New...
This is what I found as well. I Shot 3 Whitetail with 180 GK in a 300 Win Mag. the range under was under 50 yards on all 3, I didn't get an exit on 2 of them . One only went in about 5 " just far enough to cut all the arteries in from of the heart , obviously it killed the deer. I found only...
What ever you choose I'd test/practice with it in the wind. I hunted there in 2002 IIRC and I can tell you when I was there (Nov.) the wind did blow and you could see/shoot a long ways. I wasn't as prepare as I should have been. Where I Hunted , at the time , in Michigan and Saskatchewan 250...
I was at Jay's in Gaylord MI last week they had most everything except 215 Federal primers. Even had some REALLY pricey RUM brass 20pc. I even got a box of 100gr 250 Savage shells $40.00 but I been looking for a year.
35 whelen,
I remember that cover too , I saved the issue for years, it had a huge effect on me as a kid. I have huge respect for anyone that can hunt that style. I hunted in Ontario around Dryden and Kenora and farther south too. I Tracked a few times it didn't take to long to figure out I was...
Great bucks , I've read and watched all the Benoit & Blood books and videos . Have some of Bernier books and a Salerno DVD. I love the stories and Maine hunting tradition, those bucks get huge.
I Was at one of the big gun stores yesterday they had a brand new Blue/SYN Tikka T3 lite 270WSM with a Burris 3x9x40 Full Field II BDC scope $499.00. I was sure it was miss marked. They had other T3's there , not lite's , they had $610.00 on them just the rifle. I told my buddy either he was...
Just saw the wood/blued version yesterday , 308 what a sweet gun. I had to get out of there it wouldn't have taken much for me to walk out with that one. I'm just glad the Leupold display with the VX-3 2.5 x 8 wasn't close by , might have pushed me over the top.
I've try a few different case lubes One Shot , Dillons spray on , RCBS are the ones I can remember. I stuck a case with One Shot too. I don't load a lot of volume , 25 pc. of a specific caliber would be a lot for me , but some times I will load several different calibers on the same day . I...
Ive messed with 2 series 2 both in 257 WBY , 1 sporter (wood stock/blue) 1 ss/syn. The series 2 are guaranteed to shoot sub MOA and both easily did . I took the sporter 3 days in a row over to where I shoot , each day I shot a 3 shot group with 100 gr. TTSX at a target at 240 Yards. Later on I...
