They barbecue just like pork.

I have an 1878 Lyman Sharps in 45-70 as well as 70 years of miles on me. Needless to say, iron sights are less of a friend these days, so I bought one of the long skinny period correct scopes from MVA. I don’t know any local smiths I trust to do the drill tap mount routine near my home in...

Caught a young 1x2 destroying one of my evergreens last week.

Couldn’t be happier with my 280 performance with 143’s at 3050 using RL23. Pass through on bull at 345 yds and liquid lungs.

Shot a bull this year at 345 yards using 143 gr out of 280AI. Perfect performance with small entry and exit but destroyed lungs. Dropped right there. Couldn’t ask for better.

Was about to use my local attorney, but will check this out.

Same round I used on my bull this year at 345 yds. Exited. What’s your recipe?

I have had two 358Normas and still have one. Built first on a Shultz and Larson action with Hart barrel. Could get original cup core Barnes 250 gr to 2950 pretty easy. Moose hammer! Used Speer hot core 250 on Oryx and lost a lot of meat. Currently thinking of selling last one built on Ruger 77...

Since I have all Peterson brass Iwill do what I used when competing in IPSC and sharpie the bases. Seems to hold up to tumbling pretty well.

Thanks. Pretty. Much along my thoughts. Had a 300 WSM A bolt I sold and replaced with Sako. Even with double full length resizing was really tough to chamber.

My son has a Cooper AI that is a genuine half minute rifle with Hammers. I just got a Backcountry in same. Got all new Peterson brass. Should each rifle keep it’s own brass separate even if it turns out they like the same load?

Love 143s in ours but stopped at 3050. Specifics of your load?

I was in line at store before opening, got to counter just as sold out. Already paid Idaho outfitter. ****ed.

Always glad to hear of another 358 Norma fan.

Marsupial gear or Kuiu have both been good for me.
