    Bore sighting

    I always lock my rifle in a shooting rest and look down the bore at some natural environmental feature (ie, a stump, a rock with a white spot, etc.) several hundred yards away. Then I move the cross-hair to be on the same feature without moving the rifle. This will usually get me within a few...

    Ace barrels- Anyone using one?

    Not Happy With Berger Performance

    I love quick kills on game animals. The elk in my avatar was shot at 1050 yards using a Berger 300 gr 338 bullet with a muzzle velocity of 3170 fps. It was a "liver" hit, a little far back (my bad wind read). The bullet was found under offside skin and was 162 gr. The elk died withing 10-20...

    Shot my 9' brown bear at about 35-40 yards through both lungs with my 8# SAKO actioned 416 Hoffman (essentially a 416 Rem Imp) using an original design Barnes 350 gr X-bullet. Lots of roaring and biting but dead in about 15 seconds. Two more shots at him before he died (1 by me and 1 by guide)...
