Hi - if you have an Alberta residence (not just a box number) and get an Alberta driver's licence, you can immediately hunt as a resident in Alberta. This means you would NOT be a resident of Newfoundland, and if you hunted there - it would be as a Canadian resident. You cannot hold a resident...

Shooter. Particularly since I shoot Berger Bullets and Bryan Litz (ballistician for Berger) created the App.

Good idea - in time I will be doing exactly that, however in the short term I needed to ensure a consistent load for fall rifle hunting (I am now consumed with archery for the next 6 weeks).

The twist rate is 1:11. I will attempt to salvage the fur, as I have a skinner who will process and ship them to the canadian fur auction (along with any coyotes I get in the farmland or elsewhere) for a portion of the proceeds. I am hoping it will bring a cost-covering profit, but regardless I...

@ .30Cal - here's my last data set - my load of choice is not at the top end, but it was the most accurate. The groupings listed are at 100yds.

Hi all, This spring I sent my Tikka M695 .30-06 over to Corlanes (in Dawson Creek B.C.) to have a McMillan A3-5 Stock installed (along with pillar/epoxy bedding). I was going to get a new barrel, but ended up keeping my stock sporter and had a muzzle brake installed. I had started developing...

I am also an Albertan - this report is no surprise and the numbers make sense when you consider the rarity of the caribou. I don't really care what reasons they give - I am fine with a solid wolf cull, and will be doing my part this winter as I am able.

Tikka M695 .30-06 - Stock barrel, Mcmillan A3-5 Stock w/ thumbwheel cheekpiece (60% light grey, 20% black, 20% white) pillar & epoxy bedded, stock trigger polished and set to 2lbs. Rocky Mountain Rifles standard muzzle brake, EGW 20 MOA rail with burris tactical rings, Zeiss Conquest 6.5-20x50...

McMillan A3-5 with adjustable cheekpiece (60% Light Grey 20% Black 20% White)

My dedicated wolf rifle is a Tikka M695 chambered in .30-06. I use 168gr Berger VLD's with 61.6 gr of Hodgdon Superformance powder at approx 2745 fps muzzle vel. I tend to agree with those mentioning the lighter calibres and bullet weights (.243/6.5mm and 90-115gr etc) with regard to hide...

I was excited to try out my Rem VTR .223 on some long-distance dogs last week, so I set up on a field where I was expecting a 300-500 yd shot as the coyotes come up out of a creek bottom. I got going on my hand call (cotton tail) did a few rounds and then waited. As I am scanning the horizon for...

Hi - I found myself snooping on the site many times via google searches for information and gear related to accuracy and shooting/ballistics etc, so I figured I should get on here officially and stop creeping as an outsider.
