    My Alberta Bighorn

    graylake, just a few questions.....what did your Ram score ??? the reason I ask is because I also got a ram this year. A Rocky Mountain Bighorn in Utah's Rattlesnake unit. This unit has been transplanted since the 70's with sheep from Wyoming, Colorado, B.C. and from Alberta......in fact most...

    .300 WSM on Sako Long Action - Options?

    arrowbuck, If you have not done much reloading DO NOT get a wildcat, best advise I can give you is tinker with loading with the rifle you have, Sako makes a better than average factory barrel. By the time the factory barrel is toast you will have a much better idea of what you really want than...

    .300 WSM on Sako Long Action - Options?

    I have a Sako AV action that I rebarreled to a 7WSM. the reamer had a very long throat so I can really seat the bullet's out there and have ample mag space. I was hoping to use the Berger 180gr VLD but the 1-9" twist Shilen barrel did not like them, the 168 VLD's had too short of a bearing...

    which 6mm bullet for long range

    From day one with my 6-284 the 105 A-Max would blow-up before hitting the target, even if they work in yours they wont for many rounds. The scenar has the opposite problem, they are a great target bullet but have little to no expansion on game. The 107gr SMK's and the Berger 105gr VLD's are the...

    Rangefinders for Antelope

    I have the Swaro laser guide that works awesome in some conditions not so good in other conditions, have ranged antelope to a mile with it before. Last year on my antelope hunt in tough conditions it was hard getting a range at 1000yards though. If I were buying a new rangefinder it would be...

    Scope for 338 lapua AI

    I have a Premier/Leupold 14.5x35 on mine and really like it ,dont know if they are still available. The 100 MOA of the Nightforce 5x22x56 is what I would want plus a base with even more MOA. I have a 50 and a 70 MOA base that will take the 338 Lapua AI out to subsonic velocities.

    Jewell triggers... what do I really get for the $200??

    Dont know about that, most of if not all the Kelbly Panda action's I saw at the benchrest match last weekend still wore a Jewell. And yes my BAT did also, I think Kelbly is just trying to market their trigger saying it is better but alot of shooter's dont think so.

    243AI or 6mm-284?

    YES AZShooter this is an OLD thread !!! You mention RL 22 and Retumbo, RL22 has worked the best in mine N165 and H1000 also showed promise. Retumbo was the worst powder by far in mine, each barrel likes something different.

    Shawn Carlock built 338 Edge at 1000 Yds

    I had a very interesting conversation the otherday............... I looked at my calender and realized that I did not have a free weekend for the next two month's so I figured that I better take my Goldwing for one last ride before moth balls for the winter, I ended up in a podunk town north of...

    I am very dissapointed with Berger bullets regarding the 338 hybrid bullet.

    I will send you mine for the $164.99 that I got screwed out of 2 days before this news hit. A BC of .818 instead of the .891 is more like BS !!!! I have a 338Lapua Imp. the exact round mentioned by Bryan Litz that these bullet's wont work in, I feel like Berger owes me a refund (yeah like...

    McGowen Barrels

    One of the problems here is that you drug this thread up from more than 7 years ago, the older McGowen barrels were a ***......IMO I have heard since they moved to Montana that quality control has improved. it is not fair to compare a company from 2 different generations so perhaps you could...

    berger vld hunting 6mm 115 gr.

    Hopefully your pac-nor 1-8"twist barrel is not a 3 groove or you wont be using the 105gr Bergers for very many shots either, you will end up using a 107gr SMK or the 115gr DTAC. One of my friends also had this problem but can still shoot the Berger 95gr VLD because of the shorter bearing...
