    Superformance Powder Any Good?

    I have used it in 30-06, 243, 6mm rem, 300 SAUM and 338 Win. My take is it is a a good powder but doesn't do anything other powders do in the ones I reload. I have had no issues like pressure spikes and have burned about 4#s.

    Flying with multiple guns

    Simple way would be fly out and rent a car for a one-way trip back home. Guns go in the trunk. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ this

    Thoughts on taking my 70 year old Dad Elk Hunting

    I would bite the bullet and spend the money for a guided hunt for both of you. It will be memories that will last your whole life. Also some outfitters charge a reduced price for you to go with but not hunt.

    26 Nosler Load with 140gr. Nosler Partition?

    I have found the Nosler loading manual to be very good at letting you know which powder and how much worked. With Nosler bullets this is always my first option. I do not load for the 26 Nosler but everything I do load for has found this info a very helpful.

    Federal Trophy Bonded Tip Fouling?

    They are a fine bullet for deer and elk and will not wear the barrel any more than other ammo. If they shoot well in your rifles you made a good purchase. Life of an 06 barrel is in the thousands so I would not worry.

    First Elk Hunt

    If riding horses do some riding before and wear some thin slick long johns to keep from getting chaffed. The wife wore bicycle shorts and they worked well.

    Barnes all around 06 round

    If you are not reloading I would look at Barnes vortex ammo in 150 gr. and 168 gr. and go with the one that shoots the best. Nosler also has E-tip ammo in 150 and 168 that might be something to try.

    Tent Talk
