    The 6UM

    Ya know, the next caliber I had my sights set on was a .338, but this lazer death ray has me rethinking everything.

    Powder for LA 300 WSM & Heavy Bullets

    H1000 worked really well for me with berger 200.20x. 71gr got me to 2950 fps in a short action.

    7mm Rem Mag elk rifle

    I think the 7 mag would be a great rifle for you to start with, let us know what you decide to buy if you go forward. I would proceed with caution on anything from Christensen. I have shot 3 of them and only one has impressed me, the others I would have traded for a cheaper savage or tikka. If...

    7 Saum powder selection

    Still in the tuning stages but my 7 saum is looking good with 180 HVLDs and 64.2 gr of H1000 going an average of 2966 from a 26" barrel.

    Need a new scope, looking for input

    I sold my Mk5 and bought a ATACR and I loved it so much I traded my NX8 for another ATACR. It's worth the extra money.

    What does a 150" mulie look like?

    149 3/8, at least that is what I came up with but I am far from any kind of expert at measuring antlers. It's somewhere in the ballpark.

    Bringing Ganddad's 30-06 to life?

    I'll have to do some searching around. I know I have seen this done in other guns before but have never done it myself.

    Bringing Ganddad's 30-06 to life?

    There was a lot of pits showing up like you described. It definitely needs more work but that will have to come another day.

    Bringing Ganddad's 30-06 to life?

    I took the bolt apart and cleaned it up. Aside from some rust it wasn't in too bad of shape. I moved on to taking the stock off and I think a bedding job may be in order, even though there is a crack in the stock that i felt move when i put the gun back together, might be a lost cause there. I...

    Bringing Ganddad's 30-06 to life?

    I ran some Butch's Bore Shine through and let it sit for several hours. I then ran the JB Bore paste through and followed up with a layer of Kroil. Here's some pics and I included some photos of the throat. After There is some serious pitting but it cleaned up pretty good. I could have done...

    Bringing Ganddad's 30-06 to life?

    I kinda figured it would be alright once i cleaned it up but thought i would reach out. The throat looks alright. My grandfather was the kinda guy that pulled his rifles out in September and if he could hit a paper plate at 100 steps (notice I didn't say yards) he was happy. I'll bet the rifle...

    Bringing Ganddad's 30-06 to life?

    Last year I got my grandfather's old 30-06 and I was hoping to upgrade the scope from the 1970s leupold and get a load developed for it, that is until I ran a bore scope through the barrel. It reminds me of looking down the barrel of an old WW2 cannon, at the bottom of the ocean. All I can say...

    Swazi.......Yeah I'll Pass....

    Beat me to it. 🤣 You're mad at someone in another country for their views on semi-automatic firearms but probably have a closet full of clothing and shoes made by children. (As do we all)

    WA High Hunt Advice

    It used to be great. The PNWild guys really made it popular and I can't help but resent them for it, the videos are good but man what a zoo it has become, especially in the last 5 years. People need to make videos and keep their mouths shut. I've done this hunt in a rei dome tent and eventually...

    30 nosler +P

    I did one last year with a 22" barrel. I was able to hit 3100 with RL26 and went with the 208 Berger LRHT mainly due to availability, but they just so happen to have the same BC. I settled for node around 2980 because it was more accurate and had an ES of 13 over 8 rounds. I killed 2 mature mule...

    Watch out for these deadly coyotes!

    Must be all the californians that didn't realize that there would be wildlife when they moved here.

    Vortex Fury 5000 vs Sig Kilo3000 BDX

    I dove down this rabbit hole last year and wound up with the Sig. The Vortex has different tints in the lenses to accommodate the laser, bringing me back to when I was a kid looking at books with "3D glasses." One had a very obvious yellow tint and the other was very blue. The sig was just blue...
