    Pointer Sport Tek O/U

    Can anyone confirm if the new Pointer Sport Tek O/U has extractors or ejectors? I have a buddy looking for an inexpensive clays gun that will last a while.

    300 WSM Load Development

    Accuracy is my main goal, I’ve always been a load by the book reloader and with no recipes for the bullet/powder combo I want to try, just looking for safe advice how to start, and how far to go up with an unpublished recipe.

    300 WSM Load Development

    I have been loading for several years now and want to try and branch out to develop a load that isn’t by the book, at least not that I can find. I want to make a 165/168 grain load using either Nosler E-Tips or Barnes TTSX using Hybrid 100V powder. Can anyone give advice, warnings, insight on...

    7mm-08 Obsolete for a Mountain Rifle Cartridge?

    I have one in 300 WSM and love it. That’s why I’m looking for the super lightweight for the 7-08, I don’t need magnum much power hunting in Kentucky.

    7mm-08 Obsolete for a Mountain Rifle Cartridge?

    I already reload for it… don’t want to add a forth caliber to those that I do

    7mm-08 Obsolete for a Mountain Rifle Cartridge?

    Thanks BigFin! Best news I have heard in a while, looking forward to hear how it shoots.

    7mm-08 Obsolete for a Mountain Rifle Cartridge?

    That may be my last viable option.

    7mm-08 Obsolete for a Mountain Rifle Cartridge?

    I have never been able to find a barrett for sale.

    7mm-08 Obsolete for a Mountain Rifle Cartridge?

    Thanks Schaaf, but too heavy, barrel is too short, and no 3 position safety

    7mm-08 Obsolete for a Mountain Rifle Cartridge?

    well that’s what I see as well but they show two versions of the mountain ascent, one lists 7mm-08, the other doesn’t. Retailers list it as discontinued on their sites.

    7mm-08 Obsolete for a Mountain Rifle Cartridge?

    I have been looking for a 5.75 lb or under 7mm-08 rifle to replace my Howa Alpine Mountain Rifle which I had to give to my wife… The problem is I am just not finding a lot of manufacturers, Kimber, Weatherby etc. making a mountain weight rifle in the caliber. The lowest I can find is seven lbs...

    7mm-08 E-tips

    Could be your scope might be slightly off level or aligned slightly off. Did you change anything with your setup between distances?

    Planning for 2022

    Thanks C, like I said I try to read and understand it all, but may have skipped the section in the interest of the general season tag or I could be looking at the wrong thing completely. Glad you and the whole Hunt Talk crew are around to help.

    Compressed Load Advice

    Yeah I have less than max loads that crunch, but when you shake a finished load you can still hear the powder moving, I guess that partially depends on powder shape and case size.

    Compressed Load Advice

    Thanks so much, you made me think of it in a different way than I had been. I had it in my brain that compressed=overpressured instead of that only being a portion of the equation.

    Compressed Load Advice

    That’s what leads me back to a portion of my original question, a significant portion of the load data I am seeing for 165/168 grain is showing compressed loads as fastest/most accurate. Does it make sense to try and chase a load that fast or stick to what I’m comfortable with at a lower speed...

    Compressed Load Advice

    I reload for the 7mm-HT as well, and love it, but I decided to upgrade since my hunting time is so limited these days. I always want the perfect shot, but with the short barrel on the 7mm, the velocity isn’t there to punch through a shoulder at distance on the last day of a hunt if it’s the only...

    Compressed Load Advice

    Hybrid 100V. Getting 2840 FPS average. I know it’s nothing to complain about. I was expecting more based on the test parameters matching so closely with what Nosler used in the book.

    Compressed Load Advice

    Morning all, I am looking to load a 165/8 gr. Monolithic for a 300 WSM and need some advice on compressed loads. I have worked up a 180 gr. E-Tip load which is accurate (more than I am anyway) and shoots well out of my rifle. My trouble is velocities seem to be lacking compared to what my...
