Looks like you had a great trip,awesome pics,thanks

Thanks for the info,it gives me a starting point.

I have a Remington 700 with the factory barrel in .223 and 1-12 twist.I am wondering what you guys are shooting out of this and what loads you would recommend.I will be hand loading,and using this rifle for gophers and coyotes.

Enter me in the Berger Bullets Contest

After watching the video clip on the berger site it has me wondering about useing these bullets in my current guns.The guns I have at this time are a .243 and a .30-06.Have any of you guys used these calibers with bergers?If so what kind of loads did you use and what can I expect in these...

Thanks for the input guys.Herring of you success with a .243 at longer ranges is great info.I will be using 100 sp factory loads this season and my start reloading this winter.I have taken a few whitetail and mule deer but nothing over 100 yards so far. SDW

It sounds like we all are pretty lucky.I have been taking my 2 boys out for 3 years now and this year my eldest.12,can hunt .We went out today and he was shooting my .243 and he was popping balloons out to 150 yards.It was his first time shooting a high power rifle and considering the weight of...

I have used the Hornady Light Mags with good results so I will keep using them.Thanks for the advice. SDW

Great input guys,thanks Blackco would like to here more on the loads you use,I have found a couple of loads that look pretty good,but would have to try them and see what my rifle likes. SDW

The light loads and recoil are a big plus as it can eliminate any flinching as well.However my rifle is 10 3/4 lbs.It is very accurate though so I guess it's a trade off.I agree that shot placement is also very important.Some of the hand loads that I have ran through the JBM program do show some...

Hi Guys ,I am fairly new here and would like to here your input on the potential of the .243 Winchester and herring about you experience with this caliber for hunting deer and sheep size game.I currently have a Finnish made Browning with factory heavy barrel that I have used to take a few deer...

Thanks for the reply,at this time I have only been using factory loads.Hornady 100 BTSP light mags and Winchester 100 sp.I have giving much thought to reloading and Nosler lists a 95 BT @3150.I have also read loads on reloaders nest with 100 SST @3100 and A-Max 105 at about the same.I think I...

Michel,Great read with lots of info.I would think that this would also apply to hunting Bighorn sheep as well.I do have a question for you in regards to caliber choices and that would be with the .243.In your opinion what would the effective range be?I ask because I have a Finish made Browning...

There is only one range around here and it,s only 250 yards,also,they don,t allow magnums.Only 270,308 and 30-06.Ido my long range shooting on the father in laws range.

Mostly hunt Whitetail but also some Mule deerand Elk.Have also got a Couger and several Black bear,coyotes.Have yet to get a wolf but have seen several.I am also going to try and get a sheep.The odds on some draws are good so a guy can have a pretty full season down here.This year should get...
