Believe me, H4831sc and the 140 NAB and the 215 GMM will make you want to shoot no other gun. My best with that load is .138 at 100 yards.

I had this hunt last year in 36b. I actually liked it quite a bit because there wasnt hardly anybody out there hunting! Not to mention, I had the biggest buck I have ever seen during the season in my sights, it just didnt work out. I hunted it like any other hunt. I found though, that the bucks were more in the shade in the morning then the sun, which I found odd.

Who cares if they are pups, or 6 years old... Get em on the ground!

Thought you just got that Kimber Montana 300WSM with Swaro scope Fell through with Eric.

That looks good Mike! nicely done!

Well, my friend you have just bought about the best western cartridge there is... In my opinion. My load has always been 63-64.5 of H4831SC with a 140 NAB and a F215 Gold Medal Match primer. My gun is built on a long action so I can seat the bullets way out there.

I need a good .30 cal rifle. I have a awesome 30-06 that I love with a great Leupold on it. Looking for a 300 wsm to take to Africa next year.

Wait, is that a 4x4, or a 5x5?

good job! get those pup's down!

According to Lark, thats what happens when you mix alcohol into a family reunion.

Atleast there are SOME people on here who know how to count points on a deer head

Bacek before I had a job where I had to shave every day, I used to not shave for three months before my hunt. My dad told me about this and the first year I did it, I killed my first buck. Larry, I also believe a virgin rifle can be bad luck. the .257 wasnt a virgin (had killed a coyote, bobcat, and fox), but it sure tried like heck to NOT kill a deer!

Well, I dont really want to share my old superstition from baseball, as it borders un-sanitary personal hygiene. (yeah, its that bad but it lead to two state titles) But, when I am hunting, I like to wear the same old RMEF hat I have had for YEARS! I have actually been pretty bad about wearing it lately, because it doesnt hardly fit, but it is by far my favorite hat. I came home from one trip and my mom told me my dad had washed my hat... Yeah, that joke didnt go so well and now they know not to joke about that! It doesnt fit, it is supposed to be black, but is brown, but good lord does it have a lot of animals under its belt from dove, quail, to coyotes, deer, and my mountain lion. (see below)

I called, got 36c Nov-6 hunt. Never hunted for myself in 36c. Should be interesting.

You have to understand, just because you have a December tag, you are not guaranteed a 110"+ buck. Yeah, chances for a big old boy are probably increased because he has suffered for a year with the Hawaiian disease of "Lackofnookie", but he is still a big old wise mature coues deer. I have had one December coues tag. I managed to screw up that hunt by shooting a buck on the third day IN THE HEAD! A coues hunt is still a coues hunt, which is always challenging. You still have to find the deer, you still have to kill the deer. Just because it is in December, doesnt mean it is going to be a slam dunk at all.

Headin out right now to try and find one! Hopefully the AR and the 40 Vmax can get bloody!

Catches my eys as a double main beam on the left side!

I would spend the time you were going to archery hunt out scouting around for your December tag. As of now, you can get a archery tag every year, but how often does a December rifle tag come along?!

110 Accuond, 100 TSX or TTSX, I also shot the 100 Scirocco II thorugh my .257 wby and it shot pretty good. .8-1" which is what this gun does consistently with pretty much anything I throw down it!

Gonna stir the pit a little here, and just go out on a limb. It seems like you bought the new scope with the BDC for the purpose of shooting long range. Great. Gotta upgrade gear to shoot farther and better. 100% fine, true and understood. Anyways, dont think that just because you have this new scope and BDC in the scope that 500 yards is a chip shot with the BDC. I killed my last buck at 571 yards, and I had shot more than 225 rounds last summer through my new coues gun testing loads and testing the turrets. It takes a while to do the long range thing. Dont just jump right into it with the new scope and the VDC reticle

It was a good day for sure! Shooting that muzz and getting that group sure was a relief, wasnt it Scott? I was pleased with the AR and the 257 as well! Good day!

Thats not a non-typical point... THats a DOUBLE MAIN BEAM!!!! Awesome!

Anyone else see the size of the body on that old deer?! Geesh!

Timney's are great triggers. Considered kinda middle of the barrel for after market triggers but I love mine. I have a non pull weight adjustable on my 270 wsm (which is ok because it is right around two and a half anyways). I love it.

What I would build: Barrel : 25-26 inch Lilja Action: Remington 700, of course Stock: McMillan in what ever configuration I wanted at the time. Talley one piece rings Zeiss 4.5-14x44 with turrets. Caliber? Either one of the big 30's... 300 RUM, 300 wby, etc OR (and probably this one) a big, fast 7mm. 7 RUM, 7 WBY. 7 mm's are more than enough for anything, and their bullets tend to have the highest BC's around.
