They were "the" premium bullet back n the day, but my experience was with 160 gr 7mm08. I would be very comfortable with 250 grain GS in a 338WM if that's what my rifle likes.

Congratulations. Well done and beautifully written.

Probably a good question for the Sako Collectors site. I’ve chased down a question or two there about my A series rifles.

The cow I worked for from 1967 - 1995. A Jersey, btw.

RL17 is my powder of choice for the 338 WM. I like the 210 Barnes TTSX for a bit more speed and less recoil than a 225. (Nothing wrong with the 225 by any means.) I stopped at 70 grains of RL17 with the 210 TTSX which is well under max. The first shot from a cold dirty barrel runs a little over...

Lapua followed by Norma. Plan on uniforming the primer pockets on the Norma - they run very tight. Remington over other US made, IMO, based solely on various once fired that has been given to me.

Thanks. It's a Pelican Storm im3300. See post 70 for a little more detail.

My approach in my one and only 30-06 is a 180 gr Swift AF hunting load and a mild-ish 150 gr Hornady practice load - that shoot to the same 200M zero. H4350 is used for both at almost, but not quite, the same charge and velocities. The 180 gr AF went to Africa and worked very well. The 150...

@BeeMaa - It's a Pelican Storm im3300 which is slightly bigger than the 1750. I bought it thinking I needed enough room for two scoped rifles - then took just one. :) One section of foam - was removed allowing for a rifle in a thin soft case (or even two) to fit snugly. As shown, the lower end...

If kinetic energy is the only factor then a fast 300 magnum with 200+ grain bullets equals or exceeds a factory 300 grain 375 H&H at 100 yards. Energy is one factor, but not the only one. My $02 is pick the one you can keep every shot in the kill zone at your desired distance - From the sticks...

Europe/NATO just needs to down the next Russian aircraft that violates their airspace. Russia will get the message. I belive Turkey did this in 2015 or thereabouts.
