    Wanted: PRIMER ADVICE

    Just a thought, might consider the temperature when using your LR primers. My elk hunting can be - 25 to 20F. I would think slow powder, - 25 F, my 300 Wby, may not be a good candidate for LR.

    300 wby in a wby vanguard?

    The best advice I received when I learned to reload the 300 Wby in my MK5, is to seat the bullet out as far as possible, to the max length of the box magazine. Make certain that when you load all three rounds in the box, that none will hang up. My initial load was around 1 moa, took the above...

    Ballistic calculator

    I believe the Athlon Argos 6x24x50 MOA is a SFP scope. If so, you have to set the magnification to only one a single value in the Strelock program. Ex 14x, then it will list the drop table to that set point. If you use 24x, you will be way off, or 6x the same issue. All Second Focal Plane...

    6.5 prc suppresor

    I recommend the TBAC Utlta 9, using it on my Ruger 77 long-range 6.5 PRC. The accuracy of the caliber and with the Ulta 9 is excellent. You may have to search stocking distributors as the there is always a long wait on every TBAC cans that I have bought.

    308 ammo for elk (barrel length)

    A few years ago I too used a 308 on my elk hunt, actually took two elk. Cow/calf season in Wyoming. I used a Ruger Scout Rifle 16" barrel. I used Factory Nosler 165gr Accubound. I had a Thunderbeast older Can 30P1. One Elk at 445 yards the other at 472 yards. I would say 500 is absolutely the...

    Side Arm for Grizzly Country

    IMHO, hunter from WY. Chest Rig Holster. Hard Cast WFN Ammo. Also, be careful, check that the ammo you buy is rated for your gun. Ex. Some Buffalo Bore Ammo in 44 mag, states in small print that is not to be used in S&W revolvers. Too high Pressure. Last hunting season, a guy went to the...
