Savage 16SS 7mm SAUM 140gr Accubond 60gr of H4350 guessing about 3150fps

Gonna try bigger boolits next year 160 gr A/B or 150 Etip
 
Tikka T3 stainless 338WM with Limbsaver recoil pad, Magnaport, Near Picatinny base, Warne QD rings, Swarovski Z6 1.7-10x42mm TDS and Zeiss Z Point.

I use the Swaro scope for stand hunting with Noslers 225grs Accubond. I switch to the Zeiss Z Point for stillhunting and use Barnes 210grs. in Nickel plated brass. A couple of photos:

Dennis, any particular reason for the long action, or just what you had on hand? Looks like it works well!

I have used 139 and 154 Hornady bullets. Both work well.

Dear Lord Dennis!

What's with the barber pole pimping?:p

If you ever need to borrow a real rifle just ask! :D

You still hunt moose up by Gault's cabin?
 
Moose hunted with my Sako m75ss 300WM with Leupold Vari-X III 3.5-10x40 scope and 180gr Accubond reloads-my tradition moose hunt rifle. My cow elk was taken with my Tikka T3 LS 270WSM with Leupold VX3 4.5-14x40 BC reticle shooting 140gr Accubonds reloads just to mix it up. Used this rifle hunting whitetails but didnt see the 200+BC droptine whitetail...but it made it thru the season I know! NEXT YEAR

My Sako m75ss 243 with Leupold VX2 4-12x40AO LR duplex with 55 & 95gr Ballistic Silvertips for wolf/coyote...if I make it out at all....lol

Spring bear will initiate (hopefully) with my new Sako m75 Greywolf 338-06 Ackley Improved with Leupold VX3 3.5-10x40 scope and either 225gr Accubonds or TTSX's once the loads are developed and what shoots the best.
 
300 H&H in a 700 of course.
168 TSX

Going to retire the 300 this year.

Moosies beware the new mighty 416 Remington.:D
 
Model 700 CDL SF .30-06, Elite 3200 3-9x40, 180Gr. Scirocco's.

Insucesso :(.


Old man took two 45" bulls with his M77 MKII .270 WSM with 150gr. Accu-tips :cool: that c*nt.
 
Remington 760 30-06 with Bushnell Trophy 3X9. 180 Gr. Hornaday BTSP Interlock - 52 Gr. Winchester 760 powder. 2 shots through lungs @250Yds. Cow dropped about 100 yds from impact.
 
Browning A-Bolt 300WM with Leupold VX3 pushing 200 gr TSX. As always I carry a backup rifle 1895 with 350 gr Hornady.

If I know I am going to sit in the bush that day I will take the 1895. Otherwise I will carry the A-Bolt.

I now got the T3 and will be developing a TSX load, either 165 or 180 gr (depending which one shoot better). The T3 will replace my A-bolt in the future.

There really is no disadvantage as far as I am concerned... overall length is a problem sometimes with the -08 case or anything on the 6mm Rem case in a short action... but mainly I wanted to use a Kwik-Klip and they are only made for the long action.

I haven't been back up by Bill's place for a few years now... We try and get a draw and hunt a couple of hours west of Vanderhoof in 6-04.
 
Depends on where I hunting

When i was on my watch, I had my Win 70 SS in 270 WSM shooting 140 gr Accubonds. Other time when i was in the thick junk down near the swamps I used my Ruger M77 in 308. Cant recall the ammo I was using, 165 or 180 gr premium shell of some sort
