I am a .284 fan for 40 years now, I built a 7mmJRS in the 90s and it did everything I wanted. Now I hunt with a 7mm Express using 150g Partitions and RL 19. I have a Mauser action in 30-06 and I want to rebarrel it to .280ai and I think I will stick with a 23" barrel. My 7mm JRS was a hammer...

I run an old 2003 Kimber Montana in 300WSM, with 180g Accubonds it has taken Elk, Deer and big 450 plus Black Bear. I love it. A do everything rifle.

I use a Redding T7 with multiple tool heads

My favorite rifle for deer is a Remington 700 marked 7mm Express a name change .280 that has killed several truckloads of river bottom deer in Montana shooting a Nosler 150g partition which it loves. I have never had a whitetail or muley take another step after hit with this bullet, they have...

We abide by the game laws state to state even if we don't agree with them. If the cross bow fellas don't like Montana's laws, they can go to a state that allows their use. I too would use one if it were legal. I too am handicapped but I don't complain about the hunting laws. I hunt within them...

I looked at your list of what you have and there are lots of good suggestions posted above. I just sat and looked over my reloading room and the list below are items I will not do without. Remember, tools that back up your power driven accessories work when the grid is down. Hornady New...

I moved my reloading room and took a lot of pics and wrote down what I would change. I also put a packing list in each tub or box. I had saved my major component boxes for the press, sonic cleaner, brass prep center etc for the repack. I am getting ready to move it all to a new room in the house...

I run 6.5 Grendel thru a Wilson Combat 18 inch hunter wt barrel with a BCM bolt carrier in an Aero Precision upper/lower that is heat fit to the receiver. A 16 inch SixFive Arms barrel w/ BCM bolt carrier and BCM upper also heat fit, both wear a Magpull CTR stock. I am within 1 MOA at 500 yds...

With all the new cartridges developed, isn't my Ruger 77 338 WM still a viable round.? All the chatter makes me second guess myself. I use a Kimber MONTANA in 300 WSM for long hikes and the high country and my 338 WM for timber and late season public land in Montana etc

I am past the ability to sneaky snake around in the woods anymore so gonna load for longer range hayfield type opportunities.....I am looking for an Accubond or solid copper type bullet/load info for shooting deer sized game to midrange distances 700 yds max rested shooting. I had a 7mmJRS put...

I have used factory 140g Barnes X old school and 150g Nosler Partitions for the life of the rifle. Don't know how I ended up with 2 boxes of 140g Partitions....just whats on the shelf now

I have a Rem 700 ADL chambered in 7mm Express Remington I have had for 15 years. I bought it out of consignment from Trempers Sporting Goods in Missoula for too little money and this rifle which now wears a Rem Tupperware stock has accounted for at least 2 truckloads of game since in Montana. I...

as a side note I also have too many powders on hand, 5 pistol powders, 5 or 6 223/6.5 grendel AR types and 5 bolt gun 270 thru 338 win mag types. That is at least 16 types off the top of my head. I live about 45 minutes drive from Midsouth Shooters Supply so in January I went through my shelves...
