    Elk Caliber and Bullet Choice - 2024

    I had a custom 7mm-08 built specifically for elk hunting, if that says anything. The barrel builder tried to talk me into a 6.5 PRC. No thanks.

    30-06 starting powder choice

    Hunter and the 168 Gold Dots turned out pretty decent. I was doing 4-shot groups, but I had a bad piece of brass on this one and only got 3 shots. ES and SD were spectacular across the board. Other groups averaged about 1.2 - 1.4 MOA, but this one was a little better. Time to do some seating...

    30-06 starting powder choice

    I started with Hunter. Thanks folks. I just hate having to clean up afterwards with ball powder. Haha.

    Elk Caliber and Bullet Choice - 2024

    I am with you. HOWA 1500 (basically a Vanguard action) in 30-06 with a B&C stock. Ain't a thing wrong with that at all.

    30-06 175 SMK H-4350 question

    Question...looking at loading some 175 grain Sierra TMKs in 30-06. Hodgdon lists 55 grains of H-4350 as the starting load. Sierra lists 55 grains as the top load before the round is compressed. I have not run into such a difference before. Anyone loaded this before? If so, what grains...

    Rossi R95 Review

    LPVO is a great optic for a 30-30. Agreed on distance. I would not shoot past MPBR.

    Rossi R95 Review

    I had a 336 and this one outshoots it. Disclaimer, it was one of the last ones under the old Marlin name, so the quality may have been lacking.

    Rossi R95 Review

    I think there is a better powder. It was really not impressive. I tried PPV as well and the ES and SD were off the chart and groups were horrible.

    Rossi R95 Review

    Handload - 130 Speer HotCor 40.5 grains CFE-223. Need to do some seat depth testing. Not the speed I was hoping for, but plenty for a whitetail.
