    Well boys, what's your temperature like now?

    It was -38C this morning, with a windchill value of -50C. It's supposed to be -45 tonight, with a -56 windchill. Not fit for man nor beast.

    Probably a long shot….

    I use 140 Accubonds on top of a maximum charge of RL19 in my 280. Sub-MOA performance.

    Nosler Partition vs Barnes TTSX

    I used a 338-06 with 210 Partitions on a hunt in the EC in 2019. Velocity was about 2750 fps, and accuracy is stellar, usually under MOA if I do my part. Any bullet that I recovered exhibited perfect NP performance. So, yes, they do perform as intended at slightly lower velocities. 200 grain...

    Getting Ladies Used To Recoil

    I bought my wife a Savage Lady Hunter in 30-06. From the moment she first shouldered it, she noticed and commented on how good it felt. Fit is everything. She shoots it very well.

    Best scopes out there with German #4 reticle

    I have a Leupold VX 2 3-9x40 with the German #4 on my Zastava 98, in 9.3x62, and a VX 3i 1.5-5 on my 375 H&H. I quite like the #4 reticle. The crosshairs are thicker than a standard duplex. They don’t affect accuracy in a negative way.

    LOL. I work on the base at Wainwright...we see some pretty good bulls. There are always a few kicking around on the farmland that get a chance to grow big.

    I don’t know, Aaron, I have seen some pretty big bulls here in eastern Alberta. The problem is getting a draw tag....they only come around every 6-7 years.

    British Columbia Moose hunt

    We were up by Dease Lake, somewhere. Ft. St John is good country. Are you hunting near there, or does the Outfitter just live there? You may be a little more remote than you think, lol. And that’s a good thing!!

    Well, just got back from a hunt in northern BC for moose and Mountain caribou. My buddy and I both shot nice bulls, 50 and 51” respectively. Caribou was a bust, couldn’t get to them.

    What would be your Dream Hunt!??

    Hey, Mike. You’re pretty much looking at the Yukon or Alaska for grizzly, my friend. BC’s grizzly hunting has been shut down due to political pressure from uneducated citiots.

    Plains Game Magnum?

    I’m going to northern BC for moose and mountain caribou, in about 3 weeks. I’m taking my Rem 700 in 300 Winchester Magnum, with hand loaded 180 grain Nosler Accubonds, at about 3000 fps. I don’t anticipate any problems with its performance. It’s a proven load, in a proven rifle, and I have...

    Plains Game Magnum?

    Yes. That’s exactly what I took with me last year. 338-06, shooting 210 Partitions on top of 58 grains of Ramshot Big Game, a CCI 200 primer in Weatherby brass. This is a sub-MOA load in my rifle.

    Reloading for a 9.3x62?

    I have been shooting 250 Accubonds on top of 55.5 grains of IMR 4064, a CCI 200 primer and Norma brass. The rifle is a Zastava 98. It likes the load....moose, however, are not very fond of it. Decent accuracy, right at MOA.
