R-16 if you can get some. Something in the same burn rate if you can't.

I heard they will offer first of next year. Initially we were told Sept of this year, but for some unknown reason that got pushed to next year.

I looked for 5 years to find a 2001 -4 tacoma crew cab 4x4. I wanted this model as it is narrower and will fit jeep trails better. My nephew in Hawaii found it for me and he got it for $1100 and I paid another $1300 to ship it to the oakland port. It had 100,000 miles on it and need repairs to...

I have yet to use sta Bil 6.5 in my two 7-08's. My barrel is only 22" so i hope to get around 2875fps

When the X bullets were introduced, all the tooling problems had been solved and consistency at the range was greatly enhanced. Many sub 1/2 MOA 5 shot groups in various calibers. I loaded up some for my friends and they too were convinced. The line up of TSX bullets went into all my rifles and...

Browning x bolt or Tikka. I bought an X-bolt 3 years ago and after the two successful elk hunts, I purchased two more. Accurate, light and the triggers are good for factory issue. At the range, I've shot 5 different Tikkas and all were 3/4 MOA or better. They are fine rifles too.

In the mid 90's I had problems with seating depths with a certain lot of barnes soft point bullets. I called their customer service dept and they offered to replace the bullets I had left of that lot # because of Olgive issues. I only had a few left so I used them up as practice bullets. then...

2001 toyota tacoma 4x4 crew cab. 4.56 gears, 33" tires, dual battery, 8.5K winch in a cradle that can be mounted front or back, 2000 Lb capstan, EMU suspension with 350# overload springs, leveling spacer in front.

Sta bil 6.5 works very well in a 280 AI with light/medium wt bullets which I think is a sweet spot for this powder.

I have taken 3 elk with the .284 145 gr LRX bullets - all one shot kills and and 4 with .308 168 TTSX bullets - all one shot kills. Have only recovered one and that was the 168 TTSX after it traveled diagonally from top of hip to opposite front shoulder where it lodged in the shoulder socket...

wow!!!!

I took a 33 1/2" mouflon on Lanai while on an Axis hunt 12 years ago. It was the biggest one I've ever seen there in 25 years of hunting there

Last year I was at the range north of Reno and the fellow next to me spotted a target half way up the hill or backstop. he lined up his shot and let one go. His partner on another bench was spotting and told him off target to the left one ft and low off target one ft. Shot number 2 was dead...

I once bought a 270 win , an old xtr that had a lousy cut chamber. Brass lasted just one or two reloads and anything approaching a max load was just a shotgun pattern on paper. But if load 3 to 4 grains under max, bug hold groups were achievable. After initial firings, factory brass was already...

I have leupold 3X15 s on 4 280 AI's. They have worked fine so far.
