Nice shot! Nice gun too. I'm pretty sure that's my next purchase, a 338 Edge. How do you like yours? Any info/tips on the 338 Edge?

My longest Coyote kill was this year, the last weekend of August. It was only 83 yards. OK, that is not really "long range".... Unless you do it with a bow and arrow! We were elk hunting in Oregon and on the way out we spotted a coyote mousing. He never saw us. My buddy ranged him at 83, so...

I just got a new "longest" bow kill - Coyote at 83 yards. It was sweet!

Wow! Great hunt! It's always more fun when the little ones get to join in.

Thank you Paphil! This is great advice. I am on the steep part of the learning curve, and I love it. I love to learn. My goal with all of this is to bag a Coyote at 1,000 yards.

Hey, thanks guys. I talked a little at the local store and got the same answers. I'm starting to figure this out. I will order the .333 to 337. Thanks again!!!!!

The Redding Body Die is designed to full length resize the case body and bump the shoulder witout resizing the neck. I measured the outside diameter of several cases and they all measured 0.343 (the spec.) and then measured the inside diameter. They were anywhere from 0.308 to 0.313 (the...

Excellent! Good info. Thanks guys.

I have a new Remington 700 TIR 308. I love it! It is hand lapped and I have put 140 rounds through it, cleaning it after every trip to the range (about 25-35 rounds thru it per trip). I'm just getting back into rifles (been an archer for 30 years) and I have found there are 2,347 different...

Hey Bigngreen, Thanks a bunch!!! I kinda had a feeling I had figured it out. I was close. But your reply sealed it for me. Been a bow hunter for the last 30 years (with 30 big game animals in the bag) and had forgotten a lot about rifles. Plus a lot has changed over the last 30. This...

Great idea. Thanks. I don't feel so bad anymore... Several people have looked at my questions, but you're the first response.

Mine is 65 yards - whitetail doe. 10 minutes of hunting time left, no wind, standing in a wheat field assuming it was safe... I practice out to 100 yards all summer long. My hunting partner, Steve, is an excellent long range shooter. This year he shot a 4 X 5 whitetail buck at 75 yards, and...

Hey Gus, I'm new, too. My name is Kalle Hyrkas (pronounced Cully Hercus). My wife and I enjoy hunting, fishing, etc. We just went on a Bou hunt up in the Selawik. We bow hunt, but couldn't get close enoough for a bow shot so I took a bull with a .223 at 301 yards. I now have a new love for...
