    NF or huskemew

    I would highly recommend a Valdada Recon G2.. It is a 4,8-30X56mm with a 40mm main tube. I am a 338LM shooter, and I have owned 6 of the IOR Valdada scopes. They are light years ahead of their competition. Also, you could tie 550 cord to the scope and drag it behind your truck to your range...

    Old Fired Cases Won't Chamber in New Barrel

    I believe your problem is the shell case just above the belt of the belted magnum. This is a very difficult part of the case to resize. There’s a company called innovative technologies, the owner is named Larry Willis. He sells a Collett dye that can be used to resize the case just above the...

    Is Retumbo ever coming back?

    Folks, I called Hodgdon today (22Aug22), and was told Retumbo will be available in Sep 22. no details on where it will be available. Does anyone know what business would get powder first - maybe the largest Hodgdon dealer???

    Elk hunt sleeping bag...what would you do?

    I would say buy the best $700 sleeping bag you can find. Take the remaining $50 and buy a US Army issued poncho liner to stuff into your bag with you and you will be fine. The poncho liner is the best piece of the gear the Army ever issued. I survived an awful lot by pulling it around my head...

    BULLET STUCK IN BBL in the field

    I know a builder in TX. This procedure is exactly what he recommends, but do not dump anything. You need a full charge to expel your round.

    What do you regret buying?

    I regret buying a 21st Century neck turning lathe for my 338LM. I should have purchased the 21st Century power Lathe first, but I tried to take the less expensive route. Both are superior tools, I am stuck with an extra one now. Anyone interested in purchasing, please PM me. AD

    8133 or retumbo

    I shoot 98 Gr Retumbo in a 338 LM with a 300Gr Berger OTM. MV=3006 fps at 70 degrees f; ES is usually less than or equal to 30 fps; sd averages around 11fps. Many folks may indicate that this load exceeds the maximum recommended load by quite alot. I am aware of this and have worked up to...

    Berger close range impact

    Folks, I have a question: I shoot a 338 LM w MV=3008 FPS w a 300 gr Berger OTM. How would you all expect this bullet to perform on game (I do run a tiny drill into the hollow point to ensure it is open)? Thanks.

    Scope Decision

    I would consider: Valdada G2 Recon. Schott Glass, Japanese assembly. This scope can be purchased at Mirage ULR for $2850 and I believe the link below had it for $2495 at Christmas, but it has gone back to retail price. Price includes mounts, so that would otherwise be an additional $200-450...
