One of the other threads in here got me curious about re barreling my semi custom rem 700 in 7 stw. I have enjoyed shooting the barrel to the point of non existing accuracy. Prior to that it was excellent with the 160 gr Accubond. The rifle has a Douglas barrel now and I have touched base...

The weather has been perfect for shooting so I’ve taken some of the jugs refilled with water to the public range where I can shoot them. Finished load work up on a cheap .30-06 and enjoyed some practice with the .375 and 7mm-08. These from 400 yards, you can see the entrance hole through the...

After some deliberation I have booked my next trip to South Africa. The Ph I went with in 2022 offered a hunt for buffalo, kudu and impala, all expenses included for $10k. He let interested parties book now on into 2025 so I wired my deposit of $1000 to secure july21-29 in 2025. While there...

My oldest daughter and her Utah once in a lifetime mtn goat. I was not on this hunt as it was Halloween and I have three still at home-so I avoided the “you love hunting more than family” argument by staying home on the holiday. She is in college and works but made time for this tag. My...

My daughters first deer. Shot was at 300 yards with her Winchester model 70 featherweight in 7mm-08. Bullet was 120 gr ttsx. We stalked the buck a long way to get the wind in our favor and hid in the shade of some oak brush to get her steady on the Rudolph sticks for the shot. She has...

All the guns in my safe and a friend of mine wanted to borrow the old Winchester lever action with no optics. He said he figured the elk would be in the timber after the snow storm this week. He was correct and filled his cow tag at 55 yards. 160 gr flex tip (FTX) hand loaded bullet...

Box of once fired, factory brass. Was originally Winchester super x, 145 power point. No idea it’s value. Pm me if interested, make offer! This was part of a package deal and not something I can use. . .

Winchester, new. I have 2 bags. Asking $15 each plus shipping to your zip code. Pm if interested. I bought this in a package deal, and I don’t have this caliber

Took my wife to the east cape of South Africa for hunting and photography and mostly to get away from everything and unwind. My wife does not hunt but was a very good sport about the whole trip. Some days she came with us and stayed on the truck, others she stalked with us and some days she...

Ill add some others if there is interest but here are some of the wonderful animals I took on a late July safari with Game4Africa safaris near Grahamstown in South Africa. My brother and myself killed 20 animals, mostly me as I have less self control! We shared my .300 win mag remington 700...

Had some time to cull the prairie dog population while on a recent wyoming antelope hunt. Shot them with 17hmr, 22 mag and my favorite .223 savage. 55 grain handloaded ballistic tips did what Nosler intended them to do and with style. Farthest shot was 400, closest under 50 yards, all...

Shot at 400 yards with 150 gr ablr from my Remington 700 in 7mm08. Lined up three jugs thinking it wouldnt get through them all. It destroyed the first two and left thumb sized hole in the third, big crack and thumb hole on exit and I found it nosed into the soft sand behind the jugs. Really...

Been testing the Sierra 65 gr gameking in my .223 savage. After some brass issues I ended up using new rp brass and multiple fired LC brass. Cannot tell you any difference-they shot very much the same. Used h335, cfe223, varget and tac. Most accurate was max load of h335 but all would shoot...

I'm workimg loads for a new bullet from my .223 rem- savage bolt action, 26 in barrel,1-9 twist heavy fluted barrel. Had to find the load info on line. Bought some once fired military brass online and loaded them with cci 400 primers which I've been using with my pet load for ballistic tips all...

Shot from my rem 700 7mm08 it penetrated six jugs and left a divet in he back of number six. Really surprised how deep it went. Measurements are in the pictures, shot at 100 yards and chronographed at 2808 fps. Once fired rem brass with fed 210m primer, 48.3 grains of h-4350, sub one inch at...

From my remington 700 7mm08 at 100 yards, the nosler accubond penetrated through five jugs and was found between the fifth and sixth jugs. Weight and size are in the pictures. As always this is most accurate for me, sub Moa at 100 yards measured at 2764 fps. Fired once rem brass, fed 210m...

Been tinkering with this bullet awhile now. I've used it successfully in a factory load and just starting hand loading it in my .300 wm. I avoided it for a long time due to stories of it being too fickle to load. I've done very well with it in my .284 rifles and just now starting my other...

Just recently I found some rl19 and bought a couple pounds. I wanted to try it with my 7mm08 and the ablr in 150 gr. I have a load worked up with rl17 for that load moving at 2811 fps and had thought rl19 might bump that a bit faster. I was able to load the bullet to max specs and still sub...

165 Speer grand slam from my old Winchester 30.06. Speed measured ten feet from muzzle is 2865. This is one of two favorite rifle bullet combos I own. I have personally killed half dozen whitetails with it, maybe fifteen cow or spike elk and an antelope with the match up. I have never lost an...

These are from my remington 700 bdl, has been glass bedded but otherwise factory. Hand loads with 69.5 imr4350, average chronographed speeds were nearly identical at 2945-this was most accurate powder and speed for both bullets shooting under one inch at 100 yards, chrono is ten feet from...
