My 06 is within 100 fps of my 300 HH, both pushing 180 accubonds or partitions. My loads for the 06 are a 150 ballistic tip at 2950 and a 180 at about 2900. I should check both since I have my new chronograph. Both loads print on the same line vertically. The 180 in an inch and half below the...
Great looking Nyala. My favorite to hunt I think. If I recall I had busted stalks on Kudu for about 6 days before I finally connected. Great report, really looks like you had a great time.
I’ve had good results with my #1 in 257 roberts and the 90 grain hammers. Haven’t killed anything but paper and steel plates but it wants to shoot well
Smacking steel yesterday with the 300 H&H Also had the 257 and the 275 with me. First five shot series out of the 300 HH as recorded on the Garmin. Brass was once fired as near as I can tell, 1960 vintage. 69 gr. RL 19, 180gr Partition. CCI Mag. Primers. I just now noticed the date and time are...
I was a little frustrated with Nosler as it seemed like if Hornady could be getting us bullets why not Nosler. That being said I’m pretty well set for quite a while on everything but my 375, I buy bullets to keep the hoarders from getting them. Glad Nosler is helping out.
I feel bad every time I reach into the safe and gently move my 06 around to reach something else. I‘ve owned that rifle for 55 years. She’s taken bighorns to pronghorns; moose to mice-well sage rats anyway. Mostly with 150s or 180s of Nosler construction. Hard to beat such a classic cartridge.
Been hearing a few around before we set off for Kentucky. Got home last night and the daughter was complaining of some hens getting into her garden while we were gone. I need to learn to play this turkey game.
We did not,
we did not. Went over at Gatlinburg. We were going down there after but family plans changed.
I was very surprised by the country and the fantastic hardwood forests. Spectacular country.
I was 12 when my inattention led to one of my dogs killing sheep. It was my bad and dad made me handle it. Never want to do that again. Bad dogs have to be delt with. I haven't read the book, don't trust the news to put this in context but off the cuff at least a bad judgement call to put it...
