I posted this in an old thread yesterday, but figured I would share with the rest of you that aren't interested in reloading. I didn't post these last year and just now getting around to it. I am pushing 140 grain Bergers with 59 grains of RL 22 and getting great accuracy with my 270 WSM. After switching to this load last year, in October my gun took 3 out of 4 deer from camp. My deer was shot at 235 yards and if not for the steep terrain would have likely died about where it stood. A buddy and fellow member on here shot his at 750 yards and my dad took his at 650 yards. My dad's shot was truly a lifelong memory I will have. It was his longest shot ever and to do it with just one shot was a thrill for him. The 750 yarder needed another shot to put it down for good but when we found it (pretty much where we shot it) it wasn't going anywhere. The first shot hit pretty high and to the back. Needless to say, I am very impressed with the way the Bergers perform. Both accuracy and terminal performance. In fact, I have finally convinced my brother to let me load him up some for his 300 WSM. I will be using either RL 22 or H4831sc with magnum primers pushing a 168 grain Berger. So if anyone has any suggestions on this caliber, that would be great. None of the deer from last year were big, but the distances made it really exciting. Here are just a couple pics: My dad's buck before he shot it. My dad's buck with me and my brother. It was a little 2x3 but super cool. All our deer. First time my dad had ever taken an animal with any of his sons being there. And two of his sons also took animals. It was a year to remember!!!!

Incredible bull! Love it! Way to go guys and thanks for sharing your success with us. We appreciate it.

My firdge/freezer is leaking in my rental property. Does anyone on here do appliance repair or know anyone that does? I figured I would throw it out here first.

water. it seems to be coming from the coils freezing over.

No longer available. Thanks.

I am selling this for a buddy on here. He literally just bought this yesterday. The gun has never been fired. He just doesn't like the way it fits in his hand afterall. The gun is a .45 caliber it is the full size and has Trijicon Night Sights on it. It has 3 clips that hold 13 rounds. Comes with everything you see in the picture. He is asking $600 for it. This gun is normally $750 new when you add the sights to it. Either PM me or call Jake at 602-620-6162. Thanks, Josh

How's a guy supposed to learn about civil procedure and contracts at law school when he knows he's leaving tonight for a much deserved deer hunt??? Can't wait!

I took my 6 year old out there last week while I shot a few rounds. The rules say no kids under 6. I get there and the range master tried telling me I could not bring him in. After I pointed out the rule to him, he reluctantly let me bring him in, of course there was a charge for that. It is almost like they are discouraging youngsters from getting involved in the sport. It's sad.

Nifty buck man. Welcome to the greatest website in the history of earth.

The Gun Claw.

I have one and all I know is without it my groups are around 2 inches at 100 yards and with it my groups are under an inch at 100 yards. I shoot a tikka t3 lite in 270 wsm. The doughnut is 2 inches from the end of the barrel.

I just reload some bergers for my tikka 270 wsm and sighted them in. They shoot great. I also put a deresonator on mine. Now it is shooting a lot better. I love those tikkas.

Way to go! How did Justin and Bob do?

Nicely done.

That is so stinkin' cool! Congrats to the proud papa and son!!!

Happy birthday, Amanda. I still have some Pecan wood for you. Josh

Tough to follow up whatever Lark says... but I feel like hunting has SOME luck involved. If there is a possibility that wearing camo will reduce the chances of a deer seeing me, I need that advantage, however slight it may be. That doesn't mean that you become invisible. You still have to do all the other things, don't get skylined, keep the wind in your favor, try to stay out of the sun, use physical objects to break up your silhouette, etc. As far as Orange goes, I should probably start wearing some of it again. I guess it's personal preference.

Pics? % of tread left?

Atta boy.

A guy I work with has been looking for an official scorer for Rocky Mountain Big Horn Sheep. Sad story, he had it scored legit at Bass Pro right after the drying period. Measured right at 180". He gets a call back from the scorer Bass Pro brought in a while later, said even though he was an official scorer, he had not been certified for Rocky Mountain Big Horn Sheep and his score of 180" would not count. By this time the sheep had shrunk an inch or so more and now he doesn't get the record books. Anyways, he is now looking to have it oficially scored. Any help would be great. Here is a pic of him and his sheep.
