I haven't tried them, but they seem to have a growing and dedicated fan base. Everyone that loads them seems to love them. Why are they so good? Accuracy? Performance on game?
I've never really been an adherent to solid copper bullets. I've experimented with TTSX bullets a bit, they generally seem to shoot pretty good, but I've never sent one at an animal.
This year my family and I are going to have permission to hunt a few days on a private ranch, but they don't...
You can do all the stock work imaginable, but some barrels just walk as they heat up. In my experience, light little pencil thin barrels are actually a little more accurate with some contact with the stock, as long as it's consistent. But this does also tend to cause, or exacerbate stringing...
The 3 powders I've used a lot in 7-08 are Varget, Big Game, and H4895. All are very good, but I consistently get most fast and accurate with Big Game. A few years ago I worked up a load using Big Game and 140gn ABs. I got good accuracy with 46.8gns. I was using F210 primers and got about...
I used to like his articles in Bugle. The few times I saw him on that hunting show, whatever that was, I wasn't impressed. Seemed pretty theatrical and, as the OP said, full of himself.
My .308 is very accurate with Accubonds, Interbonds, Federal TBTs, and Interlocks, but it seems to have a serious dislike for Partitions. It's weird how rifles can be like that.
My son's .243 really shoots the heck out of that stuff but I haven't seen it available for over a year. Seen it in quite a few other calibers, but not .243. Anybody know where I could score some?
He perked up a little yesterday. Friday and Saturday were both very damp and rainy. I think that may have had his arthritis flared up. I'm still going to make plans. He's getting around a little better and eating a little, but man he just looks so weak and tired and old. I'm sure it won't...
We've got this poor old boxer named Rigby. He's 13, which is awful old for the breed, been our great camping and hiking companion for a long time. My oldest daughter can remember when we adopted him, but my other 2 kids can't remember a time he wasn't around. They've grown up with him. And...

I once arrowed a cow elk 7 miles back in the Pioneer Mountains. I deboned it and spent the night, but the next day was 7 miles to the trailhead, 7 miles back, and 7 more to wrap it up. I got it all in a big Cabela's external frame pack in 2 crushing loads. That was a memorable experience, not...
