My family owned property on Palomar Mountain in San Diego County. We saw a few tracks on occasion. Cat tracks. Mountain lions. Not many just once in a while. Then the liberal urban monkeys decided that the big cats needed complete protection. It only took about two years for the lions to...

THANK YOU.

Thank you for the thought!

I live in northern Nevada, about 70 miles southeast of Carson City.

It has been an interesting read about all the 338 this and that. For my part I will say that after watching several of Kirby's videos and shooting a 338 Edge that belonged to someone else, I had a gunsmith build one for me. My first requirement was that it shoot itty bitty little groups. It...

I didn't see any quarter bore bullets in the OP. A 25-06 barrel throated long with an 8 in 1 twist would bang steel all day long at 700 and, as far as I am concerned, is the ideal deer and pronghorn rifle. Just my two cents.

Have Gunwerks build a 300 RUM. Plenty of ammo choices plenty of get there with power. Easy peasy.

Old model Ruger 77 with tang safety stock barrel. 117 - 120 grn Sierra GameKing, 50 something grains of H4831. Too many deer to remember, most if not all DRT. Shoots this load into less than .375 for five shots. Never changed bullets. I am scared the group will not be the same.

I am hoping to use the 130s on deer and antelope.

Based on your description of what you are hunting there is but one choice: 243AI. I grew up in Arizona hunting javelina with a 22 Magnum. Not much needed to take javelina cleanly. With the 243AI and a good twist in the barrel, you get the benefit of some of the longer bullets to reach out for...

I would really like to follow your results. I have been considering using the 130s in my 30-06.

For my two cents, 243AI and 300RUM. Nothing fancy and plenty of brass, bullets and powder around.

I started killing elk with 165 grain Sierra GameKings. It only took one season for our group to figure out that elk were not just "big deer". Back in those days, there wasn't the selection of quality bullets we have today. My belief is you have to hit them first and then worry about terminal...

When I started reloading, 45 years ago, the affordable choices for dies was limited. I lwhat I thought was the best for what I could afford. I loaded everything I had with RCBS standard dies and never looked back. You will be able to make ammunition that will shoot more accurately than you...

Ruger M77 25-06 117-120 grain Sierra GameKings over 4831.
