    Locating calls for turkey

    I noticed last year hunting public ground after fly down birds responded very well to geese when they flew over. Needless to say I bought a goose call for this spring. Hoping it works especially if no one else is hitting them with it.

    Accuracy: Tale of Two New Model 70s

    My dad has a featherweight in 308 and shoots basically same as you 150 sp and 4064 powder and it's very accurate in his gun. Our model 70s have been pretty easy to get a good load for, there is a small chance it doesn't like that bullet. My first thought would be may have barrel contact or need...

    Is 325wsm too much gun for Northern Whitetails & Black Bear

    I shoot a 325 for deer and actually killed a doe with it last year. I load up 160 grain barnes ttsx virtually no recoil and hits like lightning. I have played with 200 grainers in it but just for hunting the woods of pa figured the 160s isn't a handicap. Using my garmin the 160 grian barnes...

    New scope suggestion zeiss or nightforce

    I mostly will be a deer and bear gun if I ever see a bear during the season. I'm in pa in the woods never much worry about far shots but are times in certain a longer shot could arise. I have that 2.5- 10 on my h&h and really like that scope for that gun.

    Glass bedding action

    I've used marine tex, devcon and agraglass gel. I was happy with the end product all three. I quit using devcon just because of how expensive it got and went to marine tex. Last gun I did last weekend was with the acraglass which my dad always swore by. Like others have said as long as you get...

    Peterson Brass

    Love my peterson brass and agree with the wsm round especially the 325 wsm. Really great round for me packs plenty of power brass is either none existent or sky high. If they would come into the market with all the wsm I think they'd do well. As of now only new 325 is nosler at very high prices.

    New scope suggestion zeiss or nightforce

    That was kinda my thing with the v4, everything I read says there great and track perfectly which I belive just never had one. My nightforces I know work and have the reputation to be tough. I may just take the chance on the zeiss. My 325 is a coyote light and is quite nice to carry the zeiss...

    New scope suggestion zeiss or nightforce

    I know there has been some threads on this in the past but was just looking for some current opinions. I have a model 70 in 325wsm I'm looking at getting a new scope for. I'm down to the nightforce shv 4-14 or the zeiss v4 4-16. I have few nightforces one is a shv and I like them all. Just...

    Annealing for hunting

    I have a amp I bought two years ago and love it. Bought it for my competion loads and ended up using it on ever rifle round I load. My thought is since I already bought it myswell use it on everything. Can't say if it makes my groups truly better but I can tell difference in feel seating bullet...

    I found a good load

    I run a load with a 140 accubond in my stw and you'll be impressed if you shoot a deer with a 140, was like that buck got hit with a lightning bolt at 100 yards . I didn't have a chronograph when I made my load up should take it out someday now that I have my garmin. Mine is 80.5 of rl25 by...
