    280AI thoughts

    Hi Guys, I was a gun writer for a long, long time. In that position, I had to use many different rounds ... but, when I was free to choose my own cartridge and rifle, I seldom strayed from the .280 Ackley Improved. In fact, I wrote the cartridge lead-in for the .280 Ackley in the Nosler...

    New Tikka T3x Lite for whitetail hunting

    Dang, so many great choices. Personally, I'd opt for the Tikka ss/synthetic in 7-08 and shoot nothing but 120-grain Ballistic Tips. By the way, I've killed lots of deer, antelope and elk with the 120 ... and a couple of moose. The 120 has a super-heavy jacket and both expands beautifully and...

    Friend MTGunner, Frankly, I was plotting my exit from TVHM at the time and I wrote the .280 Ackley article as my magnum opis ... my tiny masterpiece to leave to those who would appreciate it. I'm delighted that you liked the article; it was totally from my heart. Blessings, Steve

    42-inches as I remember. I've forgotten the score, but pretty darned good. He had not a single tooth left in his head and surely would have died in the harsh Yukon winter. I really, really, really worked for him. Blessings, Steve

    Friend Dewey, I was thinking of you not long ago, as well. And in a very positive way. How wonderful it is that we met up again here. Karen says "Hi" and sends her best wishes. My friend, I am so busted up now that I can no longer hunt, so I'm left in the role of helping others ...
