    What to know about a 20" 6.5 PRC

    Not a criticism, but if you were seeing inconsistent wound channels you were killing animals?

    300 wsm short barrel

    I use 63 grains of H4350, Norma brass, Federal Mag primers and 168 grain Barnes ttsx’s. I get an easy bolt lift and slight ejector swipe marks. I think Norma brass may be a little soft. I get swipe marks on their factory 300 wsm Bondstrikes also.

    What public land in a state/ area would you like to hunt?

    I would love to hunt a Michigan Upper Peninsula old time deer camp on public land. Complete with a wall tent, 30-30, red and black wool plaid and a camp deer tag to eat venison while everyone was in camp. The problem is because of lots of wolves and horrible winters there aren’t many deer in the...

    "Old Rifles"

    Because it became known either through marketing or just pure luck as the “Rifleman’s Rifle” . I personally think that they are a beautiful piece of American machinery made by craftsmen that hand fitted a lot of the parts together.

    Lighter 30-06 for the mountains?

    The Rifle really likes Hornady Precision Hunter 178 grain factory loads. I also handload for it with StaBall 6.5 and 168 grain Nosler ABLR’s and they shoot great also.

    Lighter 30-06 for the mountains?

    Kimber Mountain Ascent 30-06. Leupold 4.5x14 cds scope. Very lightweight to carry. The target depicts 3 shots with the brake and 3 without. I’ve been very happy with it. It is a thumper without the brake but not totally uncomfortable.

    Arizona Late Season Rifle Clothing Set-up

    Go for the Superdown and pack it in with you. I was in 27 for the late hunt last year and it was cold in the mornings and in the 40’s in the afternoon. Layers are your friend. I love the zip off Superdown and the zip off merino long John’s so you don’t have to take your boots off. Have fun...

    178 ELD-X Factory 2nds from Midway

    I got some of those from Midway to try for my 300 wsm but haven’t had a chance to load them yet. What are you getting for velocity with that load?

    Thinking hard about it. A cool old rifle. Probably end up with spiders in the barrel if I bought it though!
