what rifle are you shooting on the hunt?

I would shoot the weight that shoots the best groups at 500 yards with your rifle. I use a 165, 167 and 168, usually in my 30-06s.

make sure the rifle closely fits his size. i would get a .243 and start with lighter loads with lighter bullets. like a 60 grain bullet at 3000 fps.

caliber? what barrel are you putting on it?

the regs are online. get a small game or predator permit for the scouting days.

adl/bdl?

by going to ammoseek you can find good ammo..... the 140 7mm mag berger and ballistic silver tips are 35$ the 168 bergers are 51$

Cody- once you get your rifle/rifles going you can shoot them in matches around the valley .. if you go to http://www.desertsharpshooters.com/ and go to the calendar. real good way to determine how your rifle/ammo does. ron

my brother shot his newly rebarreled 700's last week. a .264 and a 300 . none of the groups were over .5

i would get a rem 700 long range 7mm mag, mount a vortex 6-20x44 scope; burris z rings and get some ammo and shoot. then i would save for a krieger barrel, shilen or timney trigger; and reloading equipment. whether you go the savage or remington path there is a learning curve. stomp says practice and factory ammo will deplete the budget fast.

do you have someone to reload for you? finding an accurate load with factory ammo in a factory gun $$$. your best bet is either a Remington sendero or rem 700 long range. weight helps for long range shooting.

what caliber?

i have two 6.5-284s currently. and my brother has a .264 wm . all three have krieger barrels and shoot real real good. i have 1250 rounds through one.

no

that is a big one!! I am in and I am feeling lucky.

wondering where the OP went ? i used a 30-06 to harvest a wolf. i use a 7mm often too. K. Adams chooses a 7mm for long range. according to the article he has 5 red ones . i think hs has shown the 7mm works well also. ... .. .. http://www.accurateshooter.com/competition/f-open-champ-kenny-adams-7mm-rsaum/

use all the same brass in the same gun use brass from the same brand , nosler if you have it. lapua does not make .270 brass . use a match primer like a br-2 or a 210m. lightly chamfer the case mouths inside and out after resizing.

what scope on the .270S? by using a hornady comparator a .270 modified casing and a dial caliper , you can determine how far to the lands. or you can seat bullets out colored with a sharpie until you can see land marks on the bullet . then seat them .030 off.

i usually load .030 off the lands. how far off are you? what scope?

I have hunted down there many times. the one time by myself i did take my 10 mm. Duck- with those choices you will get a tag. Oct weather can vary. i always carry my own water. not much running water. coues occupy very very rugged country. enjoy. ron

duck- thanks for your service. I hunt with a 6.5-284 Remington 700 when I hunt coues. I carry a laser range finder . a lot of the shots I get when hunting coues are longer. I do not carry a handgun. my rifle works good for close shots as well as the longer ones, and I am older and do not care for the extra weight.

if you are able to hunt in late december, i would put in for one of those hunts first choice.
