    300 Norma Info

    That is a great looking round and I think I found you one option for sure. I went on the Hodgdon web page, https://www.hodgdonreloading.com/data/rifle and the 300 Norma Mag is there. I am at my office and all of my reloading manuals are at my reloading room at home. I will try to look up and...

    300 Norma Info

    I have a 308 Norma Mag I load for since 2009 or so, and I have multiple sources for it. What is the 300 Norma? I will look it up as well but if you have case specs etc post them and we will look with you.

    Discussion of Physical Training For Mountain Hunts

    I would say I pretty much agree with every opinion from one extreme to the other. How can that be? Well we have people from teens to 60's and from Level Land Texas to the heights of the Rockies. We have slim and limber to portly and stiff, and vise versa. My experience was for my 50th...

    Delorme InReach SE Review

    It worked well for me in the Talkeetna Range of Alaska. I was able to keep in touch with family and keep them posted on progress and share the moment of taking my big Dall Ram. I would highly recommend it.

    Work out routine sheep hunts?

    All of the above is sounding really good. I am 50 and will be taking my pacemaker up the mountain in August. I was released by my cardiologist last August to resume training and have been slowly getting back into condition. I consulted several long time sheep hunters and the most prevalent...

    Which scope choice for Alaskan Dall Sheep hunt?

    I ended up purchasing a Leupold VX3 4.5-14 x 40 with the Boone and Crockett Reticle. I am going to do the trajectory validation to confirm my MV and then order the Kinton Industry turret as well. I am going to put the MacMillin Hunters Edge on it and I think it will be ready and I will just...

    Which scope choice for Alaskan Dall Sheep hunt?

    Thanks Chandalar, One of my old hunting grounds is a great place for me to practice. It has 17 different canyons and places to set up to shoot up to a mile and everything in between. Part of my practice /exercise regimen is tossing on the pack and rifle and going up and down the canyons then...

    Which scope choice for Alaskan Dall Sheep hunt?

    I have narrowed the rifle down to the 7mm Rem Mag with the hand loads of 165 gr accubonds it loves. It has gotten the job done many times and can be rigged out as light as any rifle I have and much lighter than anything I normally shoot for long range. My question is which scope to mount on...

    260 Rem Vs. 6.5-06

    My 260 AI feeds well as long as I did not fill it all of the way, meaning without too much follower pressure. Without it being filled to maximum capacity it will feed very well but with the last round being placed in the magazine when you try to load the next round it would bind with the...

    Barnes triple shock disappointment

    I apologize for the typos in the last post. I will pick up where I left off. Yes, Dentist to answer that question. And I am still outdoors as much as possible and still doing a lot of farm work and two years ago was personally seeing about 35 different deer stands for myself, my son in law and...

    Barnes triple shock disappointment

    OK, I have only been junting for about 44 years so I am not the most experienced guy on here. I grew up farming and raising hogs and cattle and can weld and make about anything you need. But I also have a doctorate degree in a healthcare field which includes about as much anatomy as anyone has...

    What happens when you use a 270 win in a 30-06

    I was going to ask that Ed, was it a damage control hunt and what were the regs in the area for that? We have only recently started the control hunts in our area and the tags are given to the effected land owner to dole out as he sees fit, within what the game management has allotted him. So...

    What happens when you use a 270 win in a 30-06

    I have been there when a friend tried to fire .223 in his AR 15 in 6.8 SPC and thankfully it let him know by the bolt not closing. I bought a project gun stamped 300 Win Mag, so once ready to site it in and going to close the bolt and it not closing on the 300 Win Mag, a chamber casting showed...
