Good grief Bamban! Wow! I'm hoping after hunting season I have a chance to work up a load for my new 300wm. I need a little more trigger time too. I want to use the 185 Berger VLD for deer and 215's for elk. Any tips on the 215's would be greatly appreciated!

I am using pull down powder Bofors RP15, 70.7 grains. 215s are 0.015 off. I get the same performance with 79.2x N570. I prefer Peterson-long virgin brass, neck expanded through a 21st Century mandrel for hunting. ES/SD seems to be tighter.

My Weatherby Vanguard in .308

I bought it last year and really like this rifle a lot. I'm shooting under 1 MOA with it completely factory using Federal Fusion 165 grain.

My backup, as always is my Savage 99C with removal magazine in .308

I took a nice whitetail with my Savage 99C in .308 two years ago. Well balanced rifle for offhand shooting.

For Sika deer and Whitetails I'll be using a 7600 Remington that was my uncles and handed down to me ( he was the one that got me into hunting but passed away 5 years ago) And for Elk in Montana since I didn't tag out with bow, I'll be using my 28 nosler that was built by Circlewguns.

I'm going to zone 4 Idaho in a few days to elk/deer hunt and I don't know anything about the terrain so I am having trouble deciding on a rifle to take, I am considering one other these three
7mm rem mag 175 long range accubond
280AI 175 eldx
338 lapua 300 grain elite hunter
Any of you guys know about this area?
Which of these would you take?
I am accurate at distance with all three by the way

Have 3 I'm alternating with this year. Seekins Havok 6mm shooting 80 grain Barnes is new to the group for deer so that will be first choice. Also picked up a Sako A7 long range in 25-06 I worked up 100 grain Barnes for im excited to try. But…. I have my tried and true plain Jane Savage model 11 in 260 Rem that has been the perfect rifle for me since I've bought it years and years ago. It's so hard not to just stick with that one for deer cause it just puts them down lol!!!!

When hunting in the woods where shots are usually 100 or less-Remington ultra Muzzle loader
After that it will probably be my
Weatherby 257
Savage 116 7 mag
Remington SPS 7STW

This one is one going to Wyoming on elk hunt Oct 1st. But I would use it on deer if long enough shot.

Depending on which hunts Im going on this year I'll be using a Tikka Roughtech in 6.5 PRC topped with a Zeiss 4-16. Shooting 140 Berger elite hunters. Or a Kimber Hunter Pro in 280AI topped with a Leupold 4.5-14. Shooting Hornady 162 ELDX. But Im still playing with my 280 load.

 

[Rabid Fish]

30-06 with Winchester Super-X. 150's or 165's.
Federal Power Shock work well too.
I've sworn off Core Lockt, they act like a FMJ if you don't hit bone.
I hunt a small farm and need to put them down fast.
