Tex I cut down a mulberry tree 2 years ago and tried the hole method.  But with some salt concoction.  After A month  I bought a pic axe and went to work on the roots and pulled it out with my truck. Hopefully this tordon works for you. Looks like you got it pretty well soaked.

Same here Eric.  I have only bought Weatherby ammo for the box and the brass.
I think I have all the bullets I will ever need for my 300 & 340
Although I am interested in how these hammer bullets preform. But I plan to read about ;D

After Reading this post I looked up hammer bullets in Weatherby calibers.  And the 30-378 popped up. Seems they still have offerings for nosler bullets.

That is very impressive Dino. I looked for one a while back. There supposed to be A Great fox rifle. Easier on the pelts.  I wanted one for bobcat

Dino I have also done the bounce test to my 700 bdl 7mm mag which is the only trigger I ever adjusted.  But now I don't trust it.
I will be swapping to the Timney Elite Hunter triggers. Starting with my 7mm mag and my twin boys 30-06's
Then my classic 223
What a pain. I always use to have a eye out for older 700's but not anymore.  Unless it's a must have and is worth doing a trigger job on it

Yes I took it to Williams gun site. And they put in the replacement trigger for $97 bucks while I waited.  But whats really bad this 700 wasn't in the time frame for the recalled triggers. So I have now replaced 2 of my 4 Remington 700's I'm worried they all should be replaced.  I will have to go online and look into this more. I bought my boys each one for graduation too.

The trigger is definitely failing.  Firing pin fired as soon as the safety moves to fire. I would have used 3 pellets the last time. Do get a deep hole poked in it.

I took my Remington model 700 ML to the range just to chronograph the muzzle  velocity to compare with the 450 bushmaster.  Shooting the same bullet.  With 3 pellets 150 grains  of win triple 7 It  just went over 2000 fps. Compared to the 450 BM at 2200. I have the chance to hunt lower MI farm land wich is shotgun only or certain straight wall cartridges. But I thought I'd see if my ML can equal the 450 BM it would be good enough.
But my first shot seemed to go off instantly. I wasn't sure what happened. I have never had it happen to me. And I have owned this ML for 25 years and never touched the trigger. So I reloaded it and it went off with very little trigger pressure.  The 3rd shot went of as soon as I flipped off the safety.  That was enough.  In tearing it down now to see if the trigger has some corrosion build up. But I don't see any. But I will test it as soon as I put the bolt back together.  Needles to say A Bagara Ridge rifle in 450 BM is in my future.  I wish Weatherby made one in there Vanguard line.

I hunt near or in cedar swamps in Northern MI
My MI Deer Rifles are a pair of Browing Bar's in 30-06  and as of last year 165 gr Barnes TTSX
My original Mark II sees little action the last 3 years when I bought my new black synthetic Mark III for hunting from tree stands. It has a better scope to boot. I like 30mm 2x7 with the red dot in the cross hairs. My shots are mostly close and in cover.

Thank you All
I went with the IMR 4895. If none of these shoot better than factory.  I will have him spring for a lb of IMR 4064.
Thanks again.

I'm loading some test rounds for a freind.
Who bought a Browing x bolt in .308
I am loading 165 gr. Accubonds. But I don't have alot of powders that work well on the .308
I have loaded some with RL 15 and Varget.
But I was wanting to try a couple more.
Imr 4350 seems to have very slow velocity.
Other powders I have for it are. IMR 4895 / H 380 / H 335 / benchmark  / win 760
If anyone can recommend a good loading with those powders. Please let me know.
Thank you
