Do NOT expect the cheap egg crate style foam in a cheap hard case to do the job. I have received more than one rifle sticking out of a plastic hard case because they SLIDE in there.
Wrap them in bubble wrap before placing them in a cheap hard case, if you choose to use one.
I find a...
Note that sound also travels through bone. Most of your "ringing the next day" activities include hanging on to a loud object, and your ears are still being vibrated.
Realize that not all hearing damage comes through your ear canal.
Sorry to cross link to another forum, but there is a limit to how much I wish to re-type. ;)

The aluminum bedding block makes the stock firm, but it's not the same at all as actually having a stress-free bedding job done. I have eliminated all of the issues you mention by bedding a rifle, and yes that includes bedding several Vanguards and other rifles using McMillans, HS and Bell &...
I can't think of why you'd buy another 7mm Rem Mag, as it's hard to beat your rifle with the upgrades you have made.
Assuming it's been bedded to the stock, that should be one extremely accurate rifle.
What are you hoping to gain by changing rifles in the same caliber?
As already noted, you'll...
I think that the Hunter stock is a knock-off of the Backcountry stock. In real life use, I like it much more than I thought I would. However, I've used the traditional Weatherby stock so much that it feels natural to me whether on a Vanguard or a Mark V.
The ULWs have a Bell & Carlson with the...
The Backcountry is one incredibly nice and light rifle, though.
I own a few ULWs, and Dad now has two Backcountry Ti's. Thankfully I get to set them up and shoot them. :)
Do you own a ULW? I'd be interested in knowing what you see is the difference between the LT and the ULW. Barrel contour...
I've used Barnes TTSX, Nosler Accubond, Nosler Partition, Hornady Interbond and Hammer Hunters.
I believe they've all passed through except the Hornady Interbond. That was a facing-on shot just to the right of the sternum and went back to the left hip. Since the cow just tipped over, I wasn't...
With the Mark V 7mm Wby, your best bet is to measure the magazine and consider that your max length. Don't worry about the lands.
We have had excellent success with the 150 TTSX and the 146 Hammer Hunter. Both are very lethal on elk and anything smaller.
Similar experience here.
Ray was friendly enough to our group.
The guide usually drank beer in the truck while driving in the afternoon.
Mice living in the bunkhouse.
Out of 6 hunters, the only opportunity went to 1 who missed, or at least his guide didn't follow up well on the shot. No one...
Nothing wrong with the Federal Fusion 180 whatsoever.
I've loaded up the Hammer Hunter 174 in my friend's Savage Axis 30-06 using H4350 and it's shooting very well.
So, if you can handload and want a copper bullet it's an option.
I've used a lot of Hammers.
In my experience, some rifles shoot them really, REALLY well, and others not so much. They're not horrible when they don't shoot well, they're just not great.
In my 6mm I tried different primers, powders, you name it over several sessions. If I hadn't known that 1)...
I love my LabRadar.
Get the fastest/largest data card for it that fits their parameters. Slow ones cause errors.
Get the remote trigger that uses a magnet to attach to your rifle. No more missed shots, no more issues with placement of the unit.
Get one of the 3D printed aiming units (aka fancy...
I'd love to know if you get this to shoot in your rifle.
I could not get them to work in my 6mm Rem, but thankfully that rifle absolutely loves 95gr Nosler Ballistic Tips.
I still have a lot of them, so could try them again.
