    What calibre/rifle combination would be suitable for taking a T-REX.

    Curious what everyone would consider to be humane and accurate for taking a T-REX. What would be the minimum, and what is most reasonable? I was thinking something chambered in 14.5x114mm.

    Probably been discussed a million times, but just want to see what the copper experts know. Do mono's, in your experience, require different cleaning techniques? Do mono's require extensive barrel cleaning on an old barrel previously fouled with lead core/gilding metal jackets when switching...

    Hang a bear rug?

    Just got my bear rug back from my spring hunt, turned out amazing. He’s set up to be hung, taxidermist put in loops and a solid keyhole style plate under the head for hanging. Just wondering how other folks on here have theirs hung, vertical? Horizontal? Offset? Looking for ideas.

    30-06 and the 150

    Been running 180’s cup and core in my 06 for a while now. Very accurate. Running 2700fps, mid range charge of H4350. Never recovered a bullet on any ungulate or black bear. Does anyone run 150 grain copper in the 06 at quick speeds? What kind of velocity do you get? Powder recommendations...

Long story short, I live in the NE corner of Alberta, we have ticks. I spend a solid 6 months plus every year in the woods hunting, scouting, walking my...

    Primer issues.... or something else.

    Hi all, ran into a new issue along my reloading journey, wanted to see if anyone else out there has seen the same thing. Long story short, while working up a 180 grain load for my 30-06 I have now had 3/20 rounds fail to fire. I have yet to see this out of this brick of primers, I was 300/300...

I will be looking to load up some 180gr Hornady SST's for my savage 110 30-06, so I figured now will be the time to look...

    Purpose built practice rifle

    I currently have the idea that I need a purpose built rifle to practice long range shooting. Hunting weight barrels heat up fast making it take along time to get a ton of rounds on a target at distance while still being smart about heating up the barrel. I am not interested in PRS builds or...
