Here in Saskatchewan the laws about minimum caliber for big game hunting underwent much change this last year, and I midst say I’m a bit concerned, and want to know what you think. For decades, the law stated that no cartridge less than .23 caliber was legal for big game hunting. There are...

Hi all, filled a whitetail tag this year, that's not interesting though. What's interesting is just how far the beast ran with such severe and vital wounds. I've never seen anything like it in a whitetail, nor even heard of it. Elk i would expect nothing less from, but not a little deer. I...

Very excited, I've been drawn for moose hunting here in Saskatchewan and in a few weeks I begin the hunt, never gone moose hunting before. I've got a few different loads in two different rifles that would work, but what I've decided on is my .300 Winchester magnum shooting a 200 grain woodleigh...

I've worked up a load with 180 grain woodleigh bullets in 270 wcf (there's a separate post about that. The 150 tsx is supposedly needing a 1:9.5 twist but if my 1:10 can stabilize the 180 (confirmed) and supposedly the crazy long 150 ablr, it will stabilize the 150 tsx too (yes I know mono...

Hi all, I got a new gun! its a cabelas (Canada) exclusive savage axis snow camo stainless steel .223 remington, very excited, have shot it a few times now, in love with that cartridge (zero recoil! I've been shooting a lot of .300 win mag lately so this is a nice break for my eardrums and...

Hi all, I reload for a .300 win mag (vanguard series 1). I love the rifle and the cartridge. Here's what I don't get. Everywhere a review is found on this cartridge its short neck is brought up as a shortcoming and even as a reason to not use heavier than 180-200 grain bullets. I myself have...

Or "the effects of bullet pulling on neck tension and concentricity. Here's the question...should I resize the neck on rifle cartridges (243, 270, 300 win mag) after I've pulled bullets out (with an inertia puller)? Does this affect neck tension and concentricity (and with that accuracy and...

Pretty much what the title says. You could also include findings about moly and tungsten disulfide. The copper oxide (lubalox) on Winchester combined technologies could be included as well. But hbn sounds like the final winner for coatings to me. Reduces friction, greatly reduces extreme...

These 3 high bc bonded core boat tailed tipped bullets (that's a mouthful) are probably the 3 runners up for the most versatile and capable all around bullets for non dangerous game of all sizes at all conventional hunting ranges. Which is the best in your opinion. Judging by 4 criteria: 1...

What do you think the deepest penetrating expanding bullet for small bore calibers (.338 and under) is, the swift a frame or the Barnes tsx? Make it apples to apples and compare bullets of the same weight. Any real life experience is greatly appreciated but nothing wrong with speculation...

A while ago I posted that I'd be working up and posting load data for .270 Winchester with woodleighs 180 grain weldcore ppsn. I've settled on a combo I feel is a winner. Final load to go with is 57 grains of reloader 25 ignited by a cci large magnum rifle primer. Note: do not use with...

So I've heard and read in many places that cartridges with rebated rims (such as .284 Winchester, the wsms, the Remington ultra mags, the new nosler cartridges, the .50 Beowulf, and the .50ae pistol round) are automatically a poor choice for a rifle intended for life and death situations (esp...

I have searched the Internet high and low for load data for the 180 grain woodleigh ppsn .270 bullet and have found none. I have some of these bullets and plan to order more. They stabilize just great in the standard 1:10 .270 twist and were designed expressly for the .270 wcf by woodleigh...

Some time ago I started a thread here calling into question the astonishing claims being made about the then new .26 nosler round. It's a fantastic cartridge for sure but it's advertised as being in a league of its own when it's not and it doesn't shoot flat to 415 unless you allow it to hit 5...

.270 shooters...what's been your most consistently accurate projectile to reload. My savage 111 shoots well with anything I feed it, but not incredible accurate with anything...I've shot 120 grain sstseant for 6.8spc, 130 interlock, 140 interlock btsp, 130 nosler solid base...all shoot very...

Hello again everyone. Not long ago I posted about a .220 swift I'm playing with Keyholing with 53 grain v max bullets. Much to my relief it was indeed the bullets, not the rifle. I loaded up some 55 grain nosler vaageddon tipped bullets and they make round holes, not keyholes! Now to fine...

This may belong in the reloading forum but I don't know for sure. I have a .220 swift I'm playing with (not my own unfortunately), it's an old savage 112, has an immensely heavy bull barrel on it, a real heavy duty wood stock with a nice palm swell...don't know much about it...I started...

What can you tell me about them? I like the lower price tag compared to leupold and such...what's the warranty situation? Do they back up their product like leupold does? An of course, how good are they? Or are they a bit cheaper for a reason? They seem like a nice step up from the scopes...

Handguns, shotguns, rifles...what's been the loudest for you? I've never shot much for handguns (Canadian-makes it much more difficult to enjoy those things and I just don't bother with them...yet). I've shot a .50 bmg before...that was very loud, but in a super deep way...the most painful...

Hi again everybody...I went after geese for my first time this fall, here in NE Saskatchewan, and I only got 1 canada and the rest were snow geese. I was nervous about the meat because I'd heard so many bad things abou snows. One of my bosses said, when I asked him what he would do with a snow...
