They tell you in the email receipt or on their website.

You could also try shimming your scope up. I found taking a pop (or soda) can and cutting strips out of it are a perfect way to shim up the scope just a little bit to gain some elevation off the zero. Itake not the most conventional method but seemed to work out good for both my dad and myself.

165-180 grain lead points, like a Nosler partition, would be best. If you can dial that in as a hunting load then you’ll be fine. Try to avoid using ballistic tip bullets or match grade, as the expansion is too rapid and will tend to tear up the meat if you accidentally hit it in the shoulder...

Your making a good choice, with both reloading and the kit. RCBS is an excellent press for starters and experienced people they hold up really well through all calibers and the chargemaster is an excellent scale. As far as the die sets the rcbs dies are nice as well as the Hornady American...

They are awesome builds, but if your not looking into just the custom factor and want one prebuilt weatherby puts one out that is a tad expensive but a super sweet rifle especially if you pair it with a good quality optic. The only downside I have noticed with them is if you do not reload the...

I have a McGowan barrel it’s a #8 28 inch on a Stevens model 200, which for those that don’t know is savages low cost line of rifles. It still runs a savage action on it. Anyways, with the McGowan barrel the muzzle brake works great but it will require some adjustments on your sight in as it has...

I keep seeing different comments about recoil pads and silencers and muzzle brakes when there’s another factor of shooting that I think a lot of people overlook and that is how you sit behind the gun. If you are tensed up and holding onto that gun like it’s going to just get up and walk away...

This isn’t just a hunting forum though it’s a shooting forum which is also just punching paper or steel. For me personally I love taking my big guns out and shooting them whenever I can. I think it is a good way to stay in tune with your weapon. Sure I like to take my little AR 15 out to the...

Any of those would work well, my wife kills elk out to about 350 with a 6.5 Creed, Which makes an excellent deer gun as well, it’s an extremely versatile round. My personal preference is the 7 rem mag. Lot more power and carries out there well. However I usually shoot a 150 grain lead point...

Reloader 22 is a great powder in a 7 mag. I have run it for a long time in both of my 7’s. I use one for hunting and one for long shooting, but recently I changed powders in the long range 7 to retumbo it seems to burn at a more stable rate and I can put more powder in the case. In the hunting...

Right I get that and I love this forum because there are always answers for me here I was just making an off hand joke about this thread in particular.

Yeah that’s true I can see why that is, but to be honest I may not actually have a place in this thread because I actually shoot a 7mm Rem Mag with a 150 grain bullet and it’s worked for me for the last 13 years. I’ll take that over the 300 any day Haha.

I’m not disagreeing that 300’s are optimal bullets for elk as a matter of fact really any 30 cal bullet can do it because they do have a hard hit and Maybe the 26 is not considered ideal for you but the thing is out to 500 yards either one is going to put an elk down fine. In the end it comes...

Last elk: 308 win. 150 gr nosler ballistic tip, range 280 to 340 yds. Muzzle velocity unknown. Perfect example of why you shoot before you hunt, as rifle was still being tested with this load. Elk before this: 7mm rem mag, 150 gr Sierra Game King(spitzer boat tail lead point) reloader 22 powder...

This might have been said already but just in case: complete each stage before moving on. ex: Prime all your cases,then fill all cases with powder. As opposed to doing each case singly. easy way to keep track of where you are at in the process.
