Yep. It’s perfectly normal to have different point of impact with different ammunition, especially with very different bullet designs like a Sierra Matchking and a Barnes. If you feel like you pulled the flier then I wouldn’t worry about it. A single 3 shot group or two won’t tell you that much...
The difference is that the .257 and the .260 are both cool and classy as hell. I always thought a .257 Roberts in a Model 70 super grade, Kimber classic, etc would be a fantastic deer rifle.
For an all around rifle I’ve found myself really becoming fond of the boring old .308 lately. No recoil in a short, light rifle and plenty of bullet weight to get the job done. I always used to give my dad crap for shooting a .308 for everything, but I’ve started to figure out that he was right...
Not sure about the newer Tacomas, but I can run chains on the front of my 18 Tundra and I’ve used them on the front of a newer Chevy with similarly tight clearance behind the front tires. You won’t be able to use really heavy V-bar chains, but I bet you’ll be able to find something to fit. You...
I’ve had great luck finding stuff locally. Decided to play around with a new load for my .300 win mag and see how it likes these. I’ve always thought the 200 gr Accubond at 2900ish would be really tough to beat for elk.

This is an outstanding scope that I briefly had mounted on my .300 win mag, it performed...
I haven’t tried the casts yet, although I plan to. My rifle likes the 350 gr Hornady flat point with IMR4895, right at 1900 fps. Should be a great elk load and has very manageable recoil.
I just found 1000 each of Winchester large rifle and large rifle magnum primers today, which is good because my CCI stash was running pretty low. I’m also trying to really slim down my powder selection to the stuff that’s more available, and I’ve had great luck finding H4831SC, H4350, and...
