    elk caliber ballistic numbers

    Just grab the 7-08, or 308, and stop fretting about it.

    Lever gun and a story

    When you tag out, remember...A toast to the East, a toast to the west, then North & South. It's an honorable tribute to the rising and setting sun and to the poles of earth to which give our bounty. Go forth, slay critters, and do the rifle proud. (P.S. pictues are always welcomed)

    Would anyone else care to give praise to the .308 ?

    I've lost count number of times my EX Witched about me bringing home another deer with my 308. My Dad bought a Rem 600 for me when I was 16, didn't let me have it until I was 35. Then the 10 yrs. of carnage began. I will never dissuade anyone from a 308, great Great GREAT cartridge ...

    Probably my last excursion out of state

    Yep. I've lived longer than I ever expected to. Been in places that were Paradise, as well as Hell. Places that 1% of us would ever have had the opportunity. I've always held 'Lopes as my ultimate fun hunt as long back as to when I was 7 yrs old and reading my uncle Roy's Outdoor life magazines...

    Sh*t our kids do

    I knew we were in trouble when our son nonchalantly started to walk through the house turning on/off light switches, with the hoop on a fly swatter handle, at the age of 2 !! He could unlock doors and go outside whenever we even mildly distracted. He tested us for the next 16 tears when...

    Discontinued 338 Federal Rifle

    I still own a Rem, but retired it due to a sloppy safety. Sold my Win 70 cuz of stock configuration & recoil. Next up was Howa, Great rifle, but I out grew the use of a 7RM. Now it's a Ruger 7mm/08 or the 338 Fed. It's been BANG, Tag & drag 'em ever since.

    Nosler 7mm 150gr BT

    150 BT's are an Awesome bullet! Used them for a decade with my 7/08. Sorry to say I don't have any on hand, but I'll part with some 140's seconds if it would help you out.

    Discontinued 338 Federal Rifle

    I don't know if this fits into your criteria, but I went the re-bore route about 5 years ago. Bought a Ruger American Predator .308 for $289 and had JES re-bore it ($250). Topped it off with a Leupold 2X7X32 ($199). Came out cheaper, total, than an off the shelf anything plain rifle I could find...

    Bullet selection for close range black bear

    I agree, black bears die just about as easily as the generic Whitetail, However.....there is a boatload of course hair, dense muscle and/or fat to contend with that whitetails don't have. I want TWO nice sized holes on opposing sides. With that said, a larger bore is my choice. My personal...

    Is Hand Loading My Answer?

    It was the Lee2001 kit. It came with a press guaranteed to last until the year 2001, dies, trimmer, powder measure.

    Is Hand Loading My Answer?

    I started with a Lee kit and it's still in use over 35 yrs later. Your bigger problem is going to be finding the components at a reasonable price.

    Help choosing bullets for .308

    I know there is going to be A Lot of eye rolling with this one, but a 125 BT is a Hammer on whitetails & 'Lopes. It's stronger than most expect.

    7-08 bullet??

    I hunted whitetails & pigs for a decade with 150 BT's. Why? Cuz that was I had on hand when I retired my 7 RM, plain & simple. 15 ft out to 300 yds+, first shot, Done! But the truth is I've switched to 140 BT's for slightly better ballistics. If I didn't have so many 140's on hand I'd now...
