Any one had any experience with New Mexico Hunting Adventures? Would like to hear some honest feed back about them.

H1000 is usually the go to powder for my 30 Nosler. The 212 eld x did well but 215 Berger’s are hard to beat. I tried most of the powders recommended in the Nosler book. Found retumbo and h1000 most favorable.

With the tikka t3x would will be able to swap the bolts with no issue. I just did a diy barrel swap on my CTR with a shouldered prefit barrel. No issues what so ever with the head space. If I can swap prefit barrels from two different manufactures and two different calibers with no head space...

Have run the Nosler for years because that is all that I could find. Just got some ADG for my 30 Nosler and will be trying it out at the range this week.

Hunting on Kodiak there is a good chance you are going to be busting a lot of brush so take that into consideration when picking a rifle. When I hunt down there or other areas where there are big brownies around I take my 416 Taylor. My other choices would be a 375 H&H, 375 Ruger, or a 338 WM...

I have one in a 338 win mag that I purchased in 2013. Fit and finish are good but the accuracy is not what quite there. It might meet there MOA guarantee with their prescribed ammo but just barely, expected better. Also, the mag box is too short. I would not buy another.

I fly meat and fish in and out of Alaska all the time for friends and family in the Lower 48. The best way I have found is using the airline approved styrofoam shipping boxes and just check as luggage. They come in 20lb, 50lb and one larger size (?lbs). I just put a hard freeze on the...

Looking to replace the stock on my Tikka CTR (.308). Would like to hear the recommendations from the forum members who have CTR’s and have swapped out the factory stock for something different. Not sure if I want to go with a more conventional stock such as a Manners or equivalent brand or get...

Wright Socks - they rock! They are basically two layer socks, help prevent hot spots and blister

Good luck with the weather. It’s pretty nasty in the ANC area and South Central AK right now. Kodiak looks like it will be clearing up Monday sometime. So you should be able to get out. Then the weather looks good for most of the week, which is a rarity...........

Nosler Brass is the way to go. I have quite a few loadings on mine and it still is good for a few more. Not sure on the reamer spec’s used for my rifle, bought one of Len’s rifle packages ( if anyone knows please share) Using 81gr Retumbo just because I had a bunch on hand from loading my...

.338 WM. Hunt moose, black bear, and caribou with mine and have total confidence in what it can do. Even took it to Africa and it was the perfect caliber for plains game out to 400 yards.

I would also like to know a source of salt for this process. The website said they will not air ship the product so getting it up to AK is a problem.

MOA Reticle & MOA Turret. But MIL / MIL works too

Good to see some info on 30Nosler being spread around, It seems difficult to find good reloading info on the cartridge. Currently shooting mine with 210 Berger Hunting VLD and 81.0g of Retumbo, velocity is ~3000 FPS. I find my accuracy is what I would consider “just ok”. Not great but not...
