    Real world observations of G-bear populations this Fall

    In mid October in the Thorofare I saw 3-4 grizz a day, and a bear or two from camp. Grizz on this trip was the most Ive seen since starting in that area back in the late 80's. Most locals will say double the count the feds tell us. It does keep the riff raff out !

    best powder for 300 win mag and 180grn bullets

    Give Ramshot Magnum a try, i found better velocity and accuracy with it using 180 ABs. H1000, RL22, RL19, H4831 and 7828ssc just didnt work for me. Obtained a velocity of 3,100fps and groups that were 3/4" at 100 and 2-1/2 at 300 were the norm. It was consistent in 50Deg and 20Deg temps.

    Need help with my 257 wby and pressure issues.

    Buying someone else's custom is a risk. Whoever built it may have had it chambered for a specific bullet, thus the short throat. Tight necks and Min spec chambers usually get sold once the owner doesn't want to do the needed work on brass prep anymore. Can you get some cerro-safe and cast it...

    Reloading the 300WBY mag??

    Did he change shell holders ? Is it a new batch of brass with thicker neck walls, were the mouths chamfered ? I've used the Hornaday/Sinclaire tool by selecting a diameter that is between the shoulder and neck. I've marked that bushing for future use with the WBY rounds. Sinclair advised no...

    Help picking the wife’s new elk rig

    I know that would get someone's dander going. I don't see a lot of rifles or ammo in the SAUM rounds in the northeast, but we are not the target audience. No offense sir! You guys in wide-open Texas are more prone to use the flat shooting SAUMs. I have been using the 280AI for almost 40...

    Help picking the wife’s new elk rig

    280AI, 160 gr bullets at 3k fps is an elk killing machine, a 140 TTSX or 150 TTSX would be potentially less recoil. The 280AI recoils less than others you listed however, I have no experience with the 7 SAUM. The SAUMs seem to be fading away. No Kimbers or Brownings? Christiansen or perhaps a...
