    Federal Terminal Accent

    As others have said. They work great on game. You can buy federal ammunition on their web site. That's where I got all mine during then pandemic. No problems with barrel fouling.

    44 mag and lil gun

    I loaded up a few swc hard cast with the same load as my plated bullets and they shot very well. I forgot to shot over the chronograph, but they seemed like a middle of the road load which is what I am looking for. I loaded up another 50 and will head to the range once bear season closes to get...

    44 mag and lil gun

    Would it be better than to use the lil fun for the copper plated versus the hard cast then? Both are 240 grns. I could run them at full speed too if that is safer.

    44 mag and lil gun

    What would a full throttle load be, fps wise, be in a 240 grn hard cast? I do have h110 which I have already worked up loads for but I bought a few pounds of lil gun till I can find more h110.

    44 mag and lil gun

    Bought some Lil gun to run in my 44 mag with 240 grn hardcast swc. Anybody got a good load for it. I am trying to stay around 1200 fps to keep it manageable for plinking. Also have some copper plated 240 grn h.p. Can I run the loads with the same grns? Running this through a Ruger Super...

    Why aren’t Terminal Ascent Bullets more popular?

    I shot a few animals in 7rem last year with them. One doe at 20 yards had a bit larger hole than I'd like to see but that's understandable at 20 yards. My antelope at 150 yards was text book perfect expansion as well as my buck at 100 yards. Never recovered a bullets and all animals dropped on...

    Montana Unit 700-20 Bull Elk

    Lots of really good looking areas with zero elk. Best bet is to make at least one scouting trip and get some boots one the ground looking for sign. Once you find a general area they aren't too hard to find again. Also during rifle season this area gets pounded by deer hunters in the rut. Best...

    Federal Terminal ascent required twist rates

    Does anybody known the minimum velocity for the terminal ascent. I am shooting the 175 grain in a 308 win. So I am starting a little slow.

    SOLD/EXPIRED Weatherby Vanguard SS 257

    Where in Montana are you located? Would you on a face to face? Does the break screw off?

    Townsend Mt

    Townsend is a nice community that has all you need and Helena is right over the hill if you need the amenities of a bigger city. It's not as windy as livingston, but still can get the big winds. Snow doesn't seem to pile up like in some other sw montana cites.

    Question on Eberlestock day packs...w

    Have both and the gun runner is not a pack to take elk hunting away from the roads. I have packed out an elk quarter with it once and was miserable. The team elk will pack as much weight as you can physically carry and still be comfortable. I do love both packs but the gun runner is just too...

    MT Unlimited

    Depending on the tag, you might only have one day to hunt. I have been through the Gallatin area a few times. Never hard to find sheep but I have never seen a legal ram.

    Hornady SST terminal performance

    Shot a Muley with my 6.5 creedmor and 129 sst at 300 yards. Did any excellent job. Complete pass through the vitals with a decent hole out. Couldn't ask for more.

    Montana 'Shoulder Season?'

    Hoping to get out in a few weeks. Anybody having any luck seeing elk? Heard there was tons of interest in these hunts. Only live two hours away so will probably be going every weekend till I can hopefully kill one.
