    Cost of powder.

    I always check the hazmat fee's of places before I hit the "buy" button. Some places charge way over what hazmat should be and then put a huge shipping fee on top of that. Was nice to buy a bunch of powder and primers together for the one fee

    7 mag Barnes 150 TTSX Anyone load this?

    I rechecked my data today, my 143 hammer hunters are going 3100. I couldn't get a TTSX going over 2900, my bad. Son shot a mule deer buck, at the shot it did a 90 degree turn and stood there, so he shot it again. It stood a little bit and started trotting down into a ditch so he shot it again...

    7 mag Barnes 150 TTSX Anyone load this?

    143 Hunters. Bullet worked as advertised. But I don't like the .284 exit hole. I hunt thick stuff and like a bigger exit hole. That is my only dislike about them.

    7 mag Barnes 150 TTSX Anyone load this?

    I've shot hammers. And my one 7mm rem mag will just make the 3000 ft/sec mark. But after shooting a couple animals I'm not that happy with the performance of the bullet and am switching back to the TTSX or may try a CX.

    7 mag Barnes 150 TTSX Anyone load this?

    Thats actually pretty good speed. I get 2900 out of 2 7mm rem mags. However both those rifles shoot extremely well. At that speed it will still preform and expand at 600 yards at the elevation I hunt. Would I like more speed??? Sure would but neither rifle will do it.

    Who regularly hunts deer with a shotgun?

    Had a neighbor that used to use a 10 gauge 3 inch slug for deer hunting. OUCH. I'm now using a 20 gauge instead of a 12 gauge. Its the savage bolt action 220 series. Shoots extremely well with the right sabot slug. I'd rather shoot my 338 win mag vs a 12 gauge slug gun

    Muzzle break, do you cover while hunting??

    I had one do same thing. All of a sudden my groups really opened up. Could not figure it out. I took the break off and for some reason looked into the bottom to see some pieces had broke off. Factory brake.

    Muzzle break, do you cover while hunting??

    So I have always put tape on the end of the muzzle to protect from rain/derbies going down it. I now have a couple rifle that have threaded ends and have a couple muzzle breaks. My questions is if you tape a muzzle break does it affect accuracy?? Its so cold and windy at home I haven't tried...

    Thoughts ???

    I have the Savage Ultralight in 6.5 PRC. The fluted bolt is very chattery, you can feel the fluting when cycling the bolt. Now that I've shot it quite a bit the bolt has gotten lots smoother. Check the rate of twist for the barrel on the Tikka, I don't know what it is, at least 1:8 is really needed

    Rifle you aren't quite happy with

    Browning X bolt 7mm mag. Did everything to that rifle to make it shoot. It was a spray gun. Down the road. And Savage rifles. Everyone brags on accuracy, I own several and now all have a non savage barrel on them. THAT is the only reason I will ever buy another one, I now have the tools and...

    Help with 7mm-08 Hammer load…

    Hammer bullets has a web site with load data on it so you may want to sign up to it. I do believe there will be some info there that will help you out. There are 2 different pages of load development, one for hammer hunters and one for absolute hammers. DO NOT MIX THEM UP

    A vote to increase resident permit cost in Montana

    As a non resident I'm always shocked to see the price a resident hunter in Montana pays for a elk or deer tag. I live in MN and pay 38 bucks for a deer tag. Whats the price of a resident Montana elk or deer tag??? And when is the last time the price of a resident tag was increased??

    Montana on the Upswing?

    Not 1 skeleton. So I do not know what happened. Did they get EHD or did they move. I the spots we usually hunted in the past that had deer we checked and there was water in the stock ponds. And where there was 2 spots with what we would consider the "normal" amount of deer it seemed no...
