I should also add that we both used Ski pole type walking staffs. Don't know how many times they prevented slips but it was quite a few.

Talked to biologist this spring and he said that there was probably a winter kill(food supply) near by.

My little brother drew this tag first try. I just hate lucky people. I've applied 5 times. Google Earth doesn't do the country justice. Not big mountains but they are steep and lots of loose rock. Both slides and worse loose rocks covered by grass. He was working on a tight time line. He ended...

Just got home from a spot and stalk hunt near Island Park, Idaho. While out hiking I found a spot 2 ft wide by 3 ft long where a bear had crapped 14 times in a relatively short period. There also appeared to be a bed right next to said toilet. Is this common? I found a spot where I could watch...

Sold.

I had good luck with IMR7828(not SSC) in my brothers 243 with 95 grain Partitions.

Looking in my Warne catalog it says there are 2 different Model 7 bases. One Old style and one for 7,600,660,670,XP-100,,XR-100. Didn't indicate what year was what.

I was spotting for a friend that was shooting his standard 338LM at a little over 2200 yds and he ran out of elevation with his 5.5-22x50 NSX and a 25 MOA base. He ended up holding over another 20+ MOA to get close. Can't remember whether he was shooting 250 or 300 grain bullets.

Black. Should have specified. Sorry

Shooting them in my 300WSM @ 2990 fps. I'm a little nervous about 300 yd and less performance. Don't think I'll be shooting much past 400 yds. I've always been an entrance and exit hole advocate. I had a couple of bad experiances years ago when the Ballistic Tips first came out. Don't think I...

Parts I used. 1/4"x20 bolt long enough to screw into case through pipe nipple, flat washers, 1/4" tap, #7 drill bit(.2010"), and a 2 1/2" long pipe nipple just big enough to fit over case head. Back out primer punch. Drill and tap hole. Place pipe nipple over case head and screw bolt with flat...

Tried it in my 300WSM. Wasn't impressed. Had to use almost 10 grains more to get the same velocity as Vhita N550 and it was DIRTY burning. Dumped it on the ground and burned it.

I'm using the Redding #35 with no problems. 2 different lots of Lapua and some Lapua headstamp military once fired. Friend didn't like his RCBS either.

I have a Sub-MOA in 308 with the same stock. Shot OK with some loads. I sanded out the pressure points hoping for more consistency. Couldn't free float enough to keep the fore-end from slapping the barrel during firing. Ground a channel in fore-end and fiberglassed a piece of 1/4" allthread in...
