those 140 b tips are nasty! I shot plenty of them out of my 7 rem mag at 3200+. They would straight zap some deer.  :tup:

Speed still is king when hunting wolves, they don't tend to hold still and give you time to be spinning dials.
Wolves always move, unless you get in their bedroom and catch em napping, but most times they're covering ground. 

So I want a holdover rifle, the 6.5-300WBY seems to be a good hold over rifle at decent range



You need a 6.5 Badger! Heck, I'd GIVE you a 6.5 Badger barrel if you promised to shoot a wolf with it and give me the skull. I'll see how fast I can get a 123gr A-Max moving out of that sucker and you can try that! :chuckle:

Does that offer come with dies and a crash course how to fireform the case?
The best equipment in the world is useless to the idiot who doesn't understand it.

The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

It's official....I have started an obsession..I picked up a Winchester model 70 264 win mag, 26" barrel, ditched the wood stock and already ordered a Boyd's at one thumbhole stock, got the trigger polished but still debating just ordering a timney for it before I get the stock and bed it...now I'm in the market for optics, I want a 6-18 or a 5-25. Just left Cabela's with a box of 140gr Berger Vld , powder, primers....oh man what did I start here  :chuckle:
