    Berger Long Range Hybrid Target for hunting

    I have meplat trimmed and opened them in the 25CM 135 hybrid and I am using 180's vldh's in my wildcat 7-300. Wanted to compare them for myself. They both perform incredibly well and expand as Berger stated they should - go in 3 or 5 inches and explode like a grenade. I am using a MCR meplat...

    Berger Bullet Tip Clearing

    I began to "clear" and trim meplats some time ago. Use the Montour tool The uniformity is a plus and where i have a few wildcat calibers that are tickling the end of the mag - trimming back the meplat just a bit has given me slightly better clearance which in the process warrants ensuring the...

    North Idaho late rut?

    pretty normal - especially over the past 10-12 years. Recent high heat, wolves, PRESSURE from 3x more hunters, and griz all tend to keep them quiet until the peak of estrus - even then as soon as they feel nearly any pressure, they shut down. Have to be in the woods if you can. Have to be there...

    25 Creedmoor build - might be the most efficient ever?

    I had an old 22-250 ai sitting in my safe that had about 2100 rounds through it and was starting to open up. Thought long and hard about what to do with it and landed after much fun research on building a 25 Creedmoor and running the Berger 135 Hybrid Target. First time using the bullet...

    Stock vs Chassis for Field Shooting

    So I built myself with one in 25 CM - did a Bart 7.25 twist heavy contour steel barrel with this one, the goal is to make it strictly a target/practice rifle. I had an old Howa action hanging around living as a 22-250 ai that I decided to upgrade. Howa Action - Trued MDT XRS - which is kinda...

    6 cm twist rates (7 vs 7.5) and elevation

    I am running a 7.5 twist in my current 6 CM with 115 Bergers at 2955 fps out of a Bart #13 Carbon at 25" length. I calculated twist rates and optimal performance for the length of that bullet considering I will be using the rifle for both hunting and target/range time.

    Howa Superlite 308win Field Evaluation

    I have published many articles about rifles. I can tell you this, every single time I was hands on, running them hard, and using them as meant to be used. A few things I learned. Yes, some writers - like many in the mainstream media will sugar coat things. I have seen it happen. Some don't but...

    I upgraded my Spotting scope, and I’m underwhelmed. Looking for input

    Sometimes, you absolutely get what you pay for. Usually not at 1 in the afternoon at 30 power looking across a canyon on a clear day. Its when its very early, or late and you turn it up to 60 or 70 or even 80 and you are trying to find that animal at distance and everything looks grey in a...

    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    I have spent 40+ years in the field. I have spent as many years in off season training including range time, teaching, and taking new and accomplished hunters hunting. Comp shooters shoot small calibers for many reasons. One of them being due to shooting 200 rounds in a couple days and needing...

    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    I have a ton of various cartridges and rifles from 17s to 223's to 6mm CM all the way up to 338 NM Improved. They all kill, all of them. I tend to match the caliber and bullet to what I am hunting. 6mm for Antelope, Deer, and coyotes etc with Bergers...larger 30's with bonded bullets for...

    What and how do you carry your sidearm in the highcountry?

    Glock 10mm with buffalo bore 220 hard cast. I have been within 50 yards of Grizzly and less with moose. It’s a lot of gun but if needed, I’ll be glad for the weight and all 15 rounds!!

    Team elk thoughts?

    Take a look at the Kifaru gun bearer as well.

    Team elk thoughts?

    I run Kifaru and Stone Glacier, and primarily the latter. Why? Cause it fits me better. I would say whatever pack you choose, and for multi day trips IME something 6500 or bigger, get fitted correctly. It will make all the difference
