    New Mexico Elk Hunt

    Hopefully I'll get to go Elk Hunting this year. I'm going to bring my 7mm Mag as the primary weapon. My question is which to bring for a backup. My .270 or the .308? Also is 130gr (.270) and 150gr (.308) heavy enough bullets? Thanks

    Corn Cob vs Walnut

    I know both can be used to clean cases. Is there a difference/preference between the two? Is one better for cleaning? I'm currently using walnut. Should I also use corn cob(in a different tumbler).

    Trying new powders

    Okay since I've made my first powder purchase. How do you folks go about trying new powders? Get 1# cans or 8# jugs? I'm thinking about trying different powders to see if there is one that shines better than the others. It seems I've got lots of choices per Hodgdon's site (.243, .270)...

    Powder difference?

    Is there any major difference between H4831 and IMR 4831? I've got a .243, 25-06, and .270 and IMR4831 can be used in all of these. I can't find any data on H4831 for the 25-06 tho. Just trying to stay with one powder if it'll do the job. Thanks
