    ABOLT or Model 70 ?

    If it is the Featherweight Classic with CRF, that would win hands down. They are not only prettier, but they are inherently more accurate....and remember, life's too short to shoot an ugly gun!

    best antelope gun?

    Antelope are not hard to kill. Anything from 243 Win /6mm Rem. through any of the 1/4 bores 6.5 or 279. Anything much over that is a waste. Flat and fast is more important than hitting hard. My personal favorite is a 6mm Rem. Sako and a Weatherby 257 WM.

    257 weatherby magnum good bad and ugly

    Didn't Roy Weatherby try to prove the round and the rifle by shooting a Cape Buffalo with one and killing it with one shot to the chest? Seems there was this story.... ...and if you are going to save your brass, why resell it? Reload it and shoot more..

    Ammo porn...warning hypnotic

    Some of that looks like some tests we ran several years ago on ceramic armor. Different projectiles from different weapons.. Interesting to watch the reactions of the different shapes.

    Ammo

    Doc, I don't know what unit you are hunting, but if you decide to take a long shot (350yds+) you will be better served by the 180 or the 200 then you will by the 165....and I know a lot of places in Arizona where 400 yards shots are not uncommon.

    My new ugly duckling

    Just looking at it is confusing.. Like Bruce Jenner. Can't decide for sure what it is..

    9.3x62

    The Norma Vulkan has worked well for friends and customers. Accuracy in mid range velocities is excellent and it hits like a ton of old Volkswagons.. It's been used successfully on Moose, Elk and Griz and once on an unfortunate prairrie dog.

    Sako A7 Roughtech

    Never met a Sako I didn't like. Only met one that wouldn't shoot less than 1 moa with the right load. Great trigger and smooth action.

    Same powder for 7mm and 308?

    There are a couple of powders that will work for both. IMR 4350 and IMR 4831 will both work and will Hodgdon H4350 and H4831. There are powders that will work better for each load, but that's another story. If you haven't already chosen bullets, I load both calibers and have had excellent...

    Is the Triple Duece still out there?

    MIne loves Hornady 52 gr. Match HPs. It shoots TCCI 2208 or BLC 2, or anything that burns in that range in about 1/2" kind of a ragged one hole group.

    2014 First season rifle Bull

    Will it kill an elk? Obviously it will. Will it do it quickly and humanely? Only under perfect conditions and likely with a head shot. Do we normally get perfect conditions while elk hunting? No.. Draw your own conclusions based on your personal hunting ethics.

    165gr. Partition Load for .300 Winchester

    I would seriously suggest that you run a ballistics table on the various BC's of the bullets and velocities you are discussing. Check them for 100 yards and again at 400 yards. I believe you will discover that the difference in trajectory is minimal compared to the difference in retained...

    States with Supertags?

    I believe that Arizona has or has had as many as four super tags in one year. One for raffle, two for auction.. one for AZ Elk Society and one for RMEF Phoenix Chapter, and a fourth one that was donated to the RMEF Convention. The RMEF tags may have been only one tag advertised in multiple places.

    Mule deer mistakes

    THe theory of random encounter plays here. If two objects are moving in the same vicintiy, they are less likely to intercept each other than if one object is stationary and one moving. Find a place and park it. Glass everywhere you can think of, then glass some more. Start by watching the...

    OYOA Mascot Caliber Progress

    NYH, the red book shows excellent accuracy and velocity with 44.5 grains of W748 and Nosler 140 gr. E Tips/Accubond bullets and CCI primers in RP cases. If you're having issues finding Nosler bullets, try Gunbot.net. You can usually find whatever you are looking for on there.
