Concur with lighter bullets for mule deer, particularly with Barnes or one of the other non-lead bullets such as the Nosler E-Tip, or the Hornady version.

Sir, that seems like one heck of a career, and a lot of great hunting and fishing!
I've made a number of trips to Alaska, mostly fly fishing the silver run in September, near Cordova.
My...
My buddy Gavin has, with some impressive results. I've shot his bolt-action 224 Valkyrie. Very accurate!
Here's his info: ...
Wow! Such a beautiful day here, so after the gym, I headed to the North Central Washington Gun Club with a couple of nice guns and some ammo:
What a day!

Went up 11 MOA from my 100 yard zero, for the 600 yard shooting. Strelok indicated 11.3 MOA, so I tried 11.5 at first, but it was just a little high.
Am now loading some ammo with Superformance...
Well, for some reason I can't edit that. Not sure why I typed "credit card" - we DON'T take cards. Cash or check.

Come to one of our "new member orientation" evenings, most Wednesdays at 6:00 pm. Takes about an hour. We take $80 cash or credit card. Membership will be good through August 31st. You'll leave with...
So, what is "Trophy Hunting" and why has it become a rallying cry for anti-hunters? Even among hunters the term is divisive. It shouldn't be!
Most of us hunters would love to shoot the biggest...
Location? The NCW Gun Club East Wenatchee, Washington. We just celebrated our 70th year as "Home of the Windbuckers."
It's a good club. Been a member for over 20 years now.

Finally got some rounds downrange at 600 yards with the 6 Creedmoor Ruger Precision Rifle! I am very pleased. Shot from the bench, with the rifle on a Harris bipod, no rear bag. Ammo was my...

Ya, I figure on spending some time at the loading bench today.
AFTER I get the elk roast Christmas dinner started... :)

That's actually a real nice cartridge. I don't use my 300 WSM rifle very often, but I enjoy loading for it and shooting it.
What bullet are you using? Loading just for range-time, or hunting as...
Yup! Dad taught me to shoot on his Marlin 39m, the "Mountie" or short version, back in the early 1960's. He's 91 now, still shooting that same little Marlin! No telling how many kids he's taught to...

Short trip to the range this afternoon to test the handloads:
Hornady brass, new
Hornady 108 gr ELD-Match bullets
H4350, 40.5 grains
Federal 210 match...
A short barreled 338 Win Mag should make an outstanding bear rifle...

Yes, I agree with SAWMAN. With the 300 magnum, there's a LOT of powder to ignite. A magnum primer is all I've ever used for that cartridge.
Thank you very much. I'm excited about this one, probably 'cause I'm hoping this rifle is my re-entry to the world of competition shooting. I used to enjoy match shooting very much, but a busy career...
Today I picked up loading dies, brass and bullets for the 6 Creedmoor. I am very enthusiastic about this!
The 6 Creedmoor is a cartridge designed for target competition, but produces velocity...
Excellent!
Ha! :)
That's great.

The trigger feels great! Maybe I'll weigh it tomorrow. If I do I'll post. It's supposed to be readily adjustable.
That deal is still avail through Sportsman's Warehouse.
I suspect that if I'd...
Sawman - I just bought one of the doggone things!
They were on sale in 6mm Creedmoor and also in 223 Remington for an astounding $749, so I took the plunge and bought one. I had an appropriate...
Very cool. Yes, your group did very well!
Congrats!
