    What were your worst caliber/rifle choices

    458 Lott in a Ruger #1. It is to this day my measure for recoil that is unnecessary.

    Shotgun recommendations

    The Montefeltro is a great gun. I was always afraid I’d scratch mine though, and I always caught myself looking over the end of the barrel when sighting. I tried an M2, and that was the ticket. Prints me perfectly, made to get scratched, and is unapologetically reliable even in the salt marsh.

    Hunts you consider unethical and why?

    The truth of this statement is what brought me to this website. I nearly quit hunting because in Texas, it’s either big money for a lease with big money lease problems, high fence, or public land with every yahoo and knucklehead you can imagine. Or, become a landowner, which is even bigger money.

    A memorable recovery with son’s first deer

    We were drawn in the TPWD public hunt system for a youth only doe hunt just south of San Antonio. Often times, these hunts are just giving people an opportunity to hunt, and the quality of the hunt isn’t all that great. In fact I’ve been on plenty of these hunts where I’m the only breathing...

    257 Wby and 120 Partitions

    Nothing to speak of until 70g. Nothing frustrating just nothing worth mentioning. At 70g the rounds started becoming predictable. Group size improved down to about 1-1.25”. The rifle seemed more settled, which was either the barrel beginning to break in or me getting more comfortable with it...

    Ammo and the 2021 season

    The real question is, why have you not already purchased a 416 Wby rifle to take advantage of the ammo “surplus”? Biggest actual impact for me is the limitations on practicing due to ammo convenience. I didn’t take action on the scarcity because I thought I had more than I actually do. Once I...

    Trade or sell Components.

    People are probably scrambling to figure out what they’d use if for lol. PV had Alliant E3 in stock for days. I’m still not sure what I would use it for. But IMR 4350 or Reloader 15, boom gone immediately.

    Hunting Rifle Purgatory

    Oh man, I love how bad the Corelokt sucks. Interlock too. I honestly prefer the suckiness of the Interlock, because they are available for reloading. One of these heavy for caliber sucky ass bullets has never let me down

    Hunting Rifle Purgatory

    I wasn’t sure if OP’s rifle is a Weatherby (Vanguard) chambered in 270win or if it’s a 270 Weatherby. If it’s the 270win, I’d bump it up to a 300mag of some type (I like the 300 Wby). If it’s a 270 Wby, you’re already there. Hunt with 150gr bullets or a 130gr monometal and get your skills...

    Trade or sell Components.

    I’ve got 338 bullets if anyone would like to trade. These are all opened boxes, but in the original box. I’m in Houston, TX and glad to ship if these will help someone out. I no longer have my 338-378 and don’t anticipate getting another 338 cal rifle anytime soon. 10 250gr Sierra Game King...

    Use Enough Gun

    I’ve had hogs run after being shot between the eyes with a 300gr XTP from a 44mag at 15yds. The worst track I ever dealt with was a double lung shot on a deer from a 180gr Corelokt out of my 300 win mag. Never had a tracking job with any animal shot by a 100gr Corelokt or Interlock from my...

    Whats your most accurate rifle?

    Mark V 300 Wby. About 1/2 MOA

    reduced recoil for a .300 RUM

    Maybe shoot it standing up with sticks or a monopod and let your upper body absorb the recoil. Then once you’re used to it acclimate to shooting from the bench. I used to have a Ruger #1 458 Lott. Lotsa fun standing up, but dealt concussions at the bench.

    257 Wby and 120 Partitions

    According to scientistics, everyone is born right handed, but only the strongest individuals are able to overcome it. 😀
