I like how the B&C is nice and dark, in low light. It just looks like a duplex. Against a regular duplex reticle in otherwise identical 2.5x8's, the B&C is easily more visble in very low light. I've run the B&C on a half-dozen different calibers and/or loads. It just... works! :)

Neil Jones of Neil Jones Custom Products can fix that BLR trigger for you. He did the one on my .325 WSM BLR. It's now a relatively clean, 3-lb trigger. Makes all the difference in the world!! Not cheap though. He says it's a big job. -jeff

I would very much like that! Joe Cool and I have been talking about doing that. The long-range steels sound like more fun to me; I've been doing a lot of that lately, and would love to learn from JC and yourself how people REALLY do it <g>. Those Allen mags of his... too cool. It just...

Well... but if I go to get on here TOMORROW, it's gonna make me log in. That's beef one. And yes, I know about the little checkbox but it just notifies me that a reply has been made. To have to log on (usually) just to even see what that reply was, to find out if I care, is tedious- IMHO. I...

baltz, so you can see the body of people's posts, in an email? Not just get a notification that there was a reply?? Gosh, if so then it looks like the problem is with MY software! :-)

Do you mean as I WISH it would behave, or how it behaves for me? See, this time I DIDN'T have to log back in, which makes me think that it's just a software setting and if you haven't been back here in XX hours or whatever, then it forgets your computer's "cookies" or whatever and makes you log...

Hello folks. I like this forum; I like the tone, and the people are knowledgeable and very nice to be around. I am a big Nosler fan and they are always the bullets I try first. There's a couple things about this forum, though, that drive me nuts and I really feel that they are holding back...

257 Ackly, Oops! You misread my post. My 2640 fps load uses RL7, not RL17. If you look in a Barnes book, it should show 42 grains for a 200-gn bullet as max load of RL7. It used to, anyway. I was using RL7 already for pistol bullets, and it ROCKS for that, and decided to try it for the...

If you get the LSS version, just FYI I found that mine ( a 7mm-08)balances much much better, as well as being lighter, with as much weight as possible drilled out of the butt. Here's a pic.

Howdy! A couple comments... first, someone correct me if I'm wrong but a BLR should actually be as strong as any bolt gun; it's essentially a bolt gun with a lever to move the bolt, with a rotating front lug set like an AR has, sort of. I have a BLR in .325 WSM. That's some pressure there...

Hello again fellow .35-ers! My rifle is a Model 7 LSS that I had rebarreled by Pac-Nor. I went with a 20" tube. Below is a picture. I called Sierra one time and talked to them about that 225 Game King. They actually said it's perhaps too HARD a bullet from a .358; that it's designed for...

Gentlemans, I recently bought a G20 to use as a trail gun. I have reloaded some for it already, despite having been told (by some) that the sky would fall on me if I did. I would love to hear what loads you all are running. I want a full-boat trail load, with a 180 or 200-gn bullet, and a...

I've posted this over on the 24-hr site enough times that I shouldn't post it anymore.... grin... but here's the exit on a little blacktail I whacked with my .358 and the above load. Yipes.

The 200-gn Hornady SP is a wonderful deer bullet in the .358. I have a load that pushed them to 2640 fps from a 20" tube, using RL7. It's a few grains over any max I've ever seen published, and WAY over Nosler's published max... and yet it gives round primers and long brass life. Worth a...

I have brought a 7mm-08 to the elk woods and I think that would make a fine cartridge for a petite elk hunter. I personally wouldn't go much lighter than that, but I know guys can and do. My daughter shoots my 7mm-08 and likes it. A good recoil pad and getting the stock fit and LOP correct...

That is a very tough call. ONE!?!? It'd have to be either my 30-06 or my .358. Both have Pac-Nor tubes so I'm into each pretty good. I killed my first deer with that '06 and also another one with a really good friend I hadn't seen in a decade, so it's a "lucky rifle" for me. I guess it'd...

I've not bloodied my .338; been around a couple elk killed with one using the 225-AB. Both those elk were are 300-ish yards. Meat damage was minimal but then velocity was down by that range, too. My opinion is that bloodshot/lost meat is going to be primarily a function of the bullet you...

Like many of you, my "battery" is not the result of careful analysis and measured, logical buying. Rather, it reflects SOME of the above, plus some impulse buys or wild hairs that turned out to be good rifles and thus keepers <grin>! What I HAVE: M700 7mm-08 Mountain Rifle M7 .358 Win M700...

Exit pic from a 8mm 200-gn Accubond on a raghorn bull elk. Range was about 150 yards. MV was 2925 fps.

Our Oregon blacktails are typically so small, we carry them in a pouch in the back of a vest, kind of like a bird vest only a little bigger. Toss 2 or 3 in there, and you've got dinner!
