Looks like i'm not going to draw any tags this year unless I get lucky and draw my Idaho controlled mulie tag or my Wyoming mulie tag which isn't very likely. As a backup i'm planning on hunting mule deer in the Frank Church wilderness units... 26, 27, or 20A. I'm particularly interested in...

I'm in the process of having my first custom hunting rifle built. I've decided to go with 6.5x284 Norma and received my Hart barrel last week. I've been looking at the different reamers on PTGs website and have obtained the specs for all of them. Here lies my question: I'm wanting to shoot...

I'm beginning a long range lightweight hunting rifle build... I've been kicking around the idea of a 6.5 SAUM 4s for the past week or so but finally decided I didn't want to buy a rifle I couldn't get factory brass for. I could always neck down 300 SAUM but I would have to neck turn and as of...

I was leaving the 168's as a last result. Coming out of my 7-08 w/20 inch barrel those things are going to be slooooooow. I was originally hoping for 140-150gr but they just don't seem to want to shoot

I wasn't sure if this belonged here or in a reloading section... I recently built an ultralight 7-08 with 9.25" twist for backpack hunting and have found it to be extremely picky on bullets. I was hoping to shoot the Nosler 150gr Accubond LR but I cant get them to group. I shot some 160 gr...

I recently built an ultralight 7-08 with 9.25" twist for backpack hunting and have found it to be extremely picky on bullets. I was hoping to shoot the Nosler 150gr Accubond LR but I cant get them to group. I shot some 160 gr Nosler Accubonds and went from 2-3" groups to 1/2" groups. The...

I finally managed to find some Nosler Accubond Long Range 150's for my 7mag. Using a ballistics calculator, it looks like these will still be packing over 1000 ft/pounds at 1000 yards. I will be shooting these out of my Rem 700 PSS w/26" heavy barrel. Just wondering if anyone has loaded...

New member here from Oklahoma and just getting into the long range game. The 2 rifles I anticipate using for LR shooting are a Rem 700 PSS in 7mm Mag with a 26" barrel and a Savage 11VT in 308 with a 20" barrel. I've got a Silencerco Harvester on order that I will likely be running on both of...
