My little Setter Pepsi is 13 years old now and not much gas in the tank anymore. That said, as long as the grouse aren’t too far from the trail she’ll find em!

Brass & bullets are sold. I still have the dies.

I no longer have a 6.5x55 rifle so it’s time this stuff goes to someone who can use it. Dies, brass, miscellaneous bullets all in one flat rate box. The numbers of each item are in the picture. $175.00 OBO shipped to the lower 48 states. Personal check, money order, bank check are fine. DM...

I’d say you made a good shot and got near text book performance from a bonded bullet fired from the 6.5x55 after hitting bone. People have a tendency to think the Swede is a .270 Win but it’s not. It’s not even really that close. At any rate a Barnes 127 gr LRX launched at 2700+ would be down...

Nothing fancy for me, just an old L.C. Smith in 16 gauge with some open chokes still getting it done.

My thoughts are that this is no different than talking about how problematic the M16 was in Vietnam, or clumpy powder in the .458 W.M. When it first came out. Things evolve over time. Get over it already.

I’ve not hunted elk but there’s a fairly prominent elk hunter on the YouTubes who seems to have settled on the 7mm08 after using everything else. I think his elk numbers are in the 40s or so. Pick either of the cartridges you mentioned and teach your son to be deadly with it.

Not a Rigby nor the Rigby price tag. Ruger African chambered for .275 Rigby. I’ve had it for sale for a while. Just a thought.

I’m glad you had a good experience! Mine was the exact opposite. An issue came up with a Colt SAA so naturally I called Colt. For 3 days and endless minutes on the phone I never heard a persons voice. Ended up calling an outfit in California who specializes in Single Action Army’s. They do a...

I have an unopened box of 50, and 20 left from another. 286 grain Partitions.

Started out as a 500 grain .474. It’s the only bullet I’ll use on big tough game if given a choice.

Nice report. Bullets that are available, not overly expensive, generally shoot good and perform as advertised . What’s not to like!

Maybe Rigby asked the question because they know that a rifle properly fitted (stocked) to properly use the iron sights is NOT properly stocked to line your eye up with the crosshairs of a scope. And of course a rifle stocked to line your eye up perfectly, without effort down, the center of a...

Not to worry, you are well armed. People always say that moose are easy to kill and I agree. I think the primary reason is because they have such a large vital zone when compared to most anything else we hunt. Good bullet in the right place. As far as good advice. Shoot your bull as close to...

I’d chalk it to the fact that even heavy premium bullets that have a proverbial ton of forward momentum can ricochet or be thrown of course by a bone. It the bullet had hit a small tree branch right in front of the animal we would mostly all be not surprised if the bullet changed course. At...
