What load are you shooting?

So I did a lot of research and searching and ended up changing my mind a little. Went with a .338 Win mag custom rifle from NW Action Works. Wasn't that much more than a Sendero and better quality in the end I believe. Putting a Vortex HS-T 6-24x50mm on it with Seekins base and rings. I'll...

Well now that is an excellent question. My thinking was (from what I've read) that I needed a magnum caliber in order to have sufficient energy for elk/moose size animals beyond 500 yards. My 270 is strictly factory, no mods at all, with a 4x-16 Vortex scope. Where would I go from here with this...

Thanks guys. Any thoughts on the Long Range vs the Sendero II?

I'm new to the long range game (beyond 300 yds anyway). I have hunted for years with a Browning Safari II BAR in .300 Win and have a fairly new Mod 70 Winchester Stealth in .270. I'm looking at a Remington 700 Long Range in either .300 Win or 7mm Rem Mag. Purpose is hunting elk in the open...

Love to see stories of dads getting their kids out hunting. Way to go dad! :)

My first choice is the Nosler Accubond 140 gr, but the Barnes 129 gr LRX is interesting. Either of these will be in the 3000 fps range (using 4831) but we'll have to see what the rifle likes.

So if I'm reading you right my scope in a conventional base/rings configuration will work out to 1000 yds (+/-)?

The scope is going to be a 4-16x50 Vortex Viper HS with the V-plex reticle. I'm going to put Kenton Ind. turrets on it after working up the load data. Anyone have a recommendation for the appropriate base and rings?

I am going to add turrets to my scope once I find a load the new rifle likes. This whole project is a step out of the box for me. Everything I've ever owned has had a good ol' 3-9 variable with a 200 yard zero.

Hi all, this is my first post. I just purchased a Model 70 Winchester in 270 Win. I am putting a 4-16x50 scope on it. I am new to long range shooting but my idea of long range is maxing out in the 500-600 yard range. I just recently discovered the 20 moa scope bases but don't know if they are...
