    What would you do?

    I think a lot depends on whether or not you’re buying or building your rifle. For mostly whitetail with a big “maybe someday” opportunity to draw the Wichita Mtns hunt, my vote goes to 7PRC with 180 Bergers (VLD or Hybrid) if you’re buying a factory rifle. If you plan to build, a 7RM or PRC with...

    6.5 PRC Powder Charge/Velocity Ladder Test. No Flat Spot

    I agree with Lance. Attached photo was a 6.5 PRC ladder test with 140 Elite Hunters in once fired Lapua. All rounds fired from 615yds. ES is around 20fps but shoots well at 59.0 grns.

    338 win mag powder choice

    Winchester case, 225 Accubond, CCI 250 - I only load temp stable powders so I started with H4831. I was unable to find pressure with H4831SC. Went to H4350 for a faster burn rate. H4350 shoots well at 2775 fps from a 23” bbl.

    Kowa vs Maven

    No experience with Maven but my Kowa 773 with wide angle eyepiece is great. IMO, it’s the best bang for the buck spotter out there. Cameraland had that combo for $1899 not to long ago.

    Deer mineral

    As mentioned above, 1 part dicalcium phosphate, 2 parts loose red trace mineral, and 1 part loose stock salt. I’m in NE OK and didn’t have any activity until I went to 2 parts loose stock salt instead of 1. YMMV

    225gr-250gr 338 Elk Bullet for 338 Win Mag?

    225 Accubond. Good bullet with good BC and velocity.

    Scope or Red Dot for turkey gun?

    I have used both and prefer a 3 MOA reflex sight due to the light weight and being small/streamlined. I’ve only used Vortex’s “Venom” and a couple of Burris FFIIIs. Both were flawless. The only difference was the Vortex had several manual brightness settings whereas the Burris had 3 which was...

    215 alternative ?

    Midway and Midsouth both had them in stock yesterday. Got an email alert from both and bought a 250ct box from Midway.

    Mine is a 26” 9 twist shooting 199s at 3170 with H4831 SC in virgin ADG. Velocity captured with LabRadar and validated using advertised BC.

    Pulled pork from a wild hog... your experience?

    I suggest a cook temp of 225°-250°. You can wrap at an IT of 145-150 to preserve moisture as it’s done taking smoke at that point anyway. Also when wrapping, a decent amount of squirt butter will help things stay good and juicy. You will need rest it for a couple of hours after cooking to let...

    338 Win Mag loads

    One powder for both, I’d find some H4350.

    Biannual Berger Hybrid 215 search?

    I HAD paid back orders at a few places and unpaid back orders in a few others (CC on file). I got one box early in the year. The rest of the back orders canceled due to the extended time I’d been on said back order list. I have since moved on to Hammers for my 300WM.

    Are you Satisfied?

    Prices are what they are discounting the GB scalps. Buy what you need when you find it plus some. I doubt you’ll see a decrease when the smoke settles. Look at building materials. Once they see this is what they can get for a product, the price tends to stick and add in astronomical inflation on...
