RE: Which load for Caribou?
 

Thanks for the help. I will look into the 160gr. as well.
Thanks

RE: Which load for Caribou?
 

Do the Nosler Partitions come complete from the factory, or will I have to find someone to load them? It seems that they have the best flight trajectory.

RE: Which load for Caribou?
 

I beleive all the factories sell a nosler part.
I have used remington,federal both with a nosler bullet

RE: Which load for Caribou?
 

Federal sells both a 140gr nosler partition and a 160gr partition. I know other manufacturers sell partitions also but not sure about their grain selections.

went on a caribou do it yourself with my brother and he scored with the federal premium 160 noslers one shot! i used a 308 winchester ballistic silver tip 168 gr. they are thin skinned. good luck!

RE: Which load for Caribou?
 

I have done alot of reading here, trying to learn as much about rifle loads as I can. I have narrowed it down to two diffrent loads. I got the 160 gr. Federal Premium Nosler Partition, and I had some 165 gr. handloads made up. They are also partition. I have shot alot of the Federal rounds in the last two weeks. I sighted in my Savage 1.5 inches high at one hundread yards. This put it close to dead on at two hundread yards. I used to be one who shot my rifle a few times before deer season, now I plan on shooting to get better as often as I can.

RE: Which load for Caribou?
 

I believe the handloads to be 160gr as well unless nosler has just recently begun producing 165gr partitions in 7mm.

RE: Which load for Caribou?
 

The handloads are 160' s as well. Sorry for the mis-information. I think that I will stick to the Federals though. Thanks for the help.

J_Cole,

Who are you hunting with in Newfoundland? What week? I am returning for my second trip. Will be looking for caribou and bear.

Hey Rob,
We are going the first week in October. The dates are Oct. 2-10. We are hunting with Georgia Mountain Outfitters. The Outfitters name is Ron Martin. Do a search under Georgia Mountain Outfitters. We only have four guys going as of now. We are leaving out of South Carolina. If you have any info on what to wear, and other things that we will need, let me know. This is my first time going to Newfoundland. I heard it is wet there most of the time in October. The land that he has for the bear hunt will be hunted for the first time. After our Caribou tag has been filled, we will fly on float plane farther north to this spot and stay in a tent camp. He dosent even have the cabin built there yet. Should I get a bipod on my rifle for this hunt? One that swivels?
Thanks
