In our house we don' shoot past 300 yards . 1. that's the longest range we access too.
2. We practice on the ground , off sticks or on a pack. 3. We will fast walk or jog and get heart rate up. this makes a big difference. 4 . We pick a monthly date on the calendar. Rain , snow, wind, cold...
Thank you, Gentleman. I just have 4 pound of rl16 and would like to use it. Works wonderful in my 154 gr loads. In a Vanguard Camilla . That is daughters elk load.
Looking for Help. With Rl16 7mm-08 Barnes 120 gr ttsx load data.
There is not any data . Barnes lags behind in new load data. I do not have Quick load .,

She will still shoot her 25-06. But it is out of service Having a new Krieger barrel and wood done
and reblued. Won't have it back until after next hunting season. That's why she has purchased
a new rifle.
Today is the big day ! We are going to order The Mary's savage lady hunter .
Caliber........ We have chose to go with the.. 6.5 creedmoor. Ordered 500 pcs of brass. and bullets. New leupold 2 x8 scope ,. Here we go. Hope we made a wise decision.
That's what I was wondering about. Really wanted to try 6.5 creedmoor but the 7mm-08 will do. Only reason I didn't want to go with 243 win is if we want to go on an Idaho or Montana black bear hunt.
The choice of weapon she chose is Savage lady hunter. Now the caliber is up to me,.
She owns a Ruger #1b in 25-06 that she shoots well. but its shot out and going to be rebarelled . again in 25-06 she loves it and has dropped a 2 antelope and wont give it up.
My choices of calibers or are...
I maybe the crazy one here but I think a 270win would fill the bill for you.
Light recoil , good bullet selection , comfortable to shoot, Skip the magnums and keep it simple. You can get ammo anywhere in a pinch.
Fairly cheap to shoot if you roll your own.
Just my thoughts. Have fun...
Thank you for all your help. This is a great place to get Good Solid Info !
Roy, We spend most of our time practicing on sticks and bi-pods to keep it real.
Wife shoots...
Its a heavy contour. Just above magnum. My main concern was it should be 1/2 low at 200 yrds. But they were still 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 high at 200 yards. It was 32 out and we took our time 1 1 /2 hours for 12 shots. I think Brentm Hit the nail on the head. Shooter to scope alginment. Couldnt get comfy...
Thank you, Brent. This makes great sense. Mary was shooting my rifle and the lenght of pull is to long for her. [ her rifles in the shop ] I didnt feel real comfortable at shooting table myself. I will reload some more rounds and see if I cant get more comfortable and consentrate...
