    7mm-08 load for Weatherby

    3 shots each time. That was the best of 3 different rounds. I’d have to look at my data to see what the other groups were.

    7mm-08 load for Weatherby

    Yeah I typically do 3 shot groups. I used to do 4 & 5 shot groups but for the reasons you stated I went to 3 shot groups.

    First time pronghorn

    Thanks for all the input. Because of timing with her schedule, my wife, and my schedule we are planning to be out there a couple days before the season, then she will be flying home after 4 days of hunting and I'll drive over to my unit and hunt. She's only shot out to 100 yards so far, so...

    7mm-08 load for Weatherby

    I purchased a 7mm-08 Weatherby Vanguard Talus a few years ago. Since then I've been working on getting a load that shoots sub MOA groups. I've tried half a dozen different powders, different primers, different bullets, etc. Anyone have any reloading experience with a 7mm-08 Weatherby rifle...

    First time pronghorn

    My daughter and I drew our first pronghorn tags this year in WY. Both rifle but in different units.

    Unit 107 antelope

    Does unit 107 have grizzles? I suspect if it did it would be at the far southeast part of their range.

    Leaving deer where they lay

    I've had it happen by accident after I purposely shot a doe to fill an antlerless tag years ago on Nov. 15. I dropped her where she stood and about 20 minutes later here came a little buck (not legal). He nudged her on the ground trying to get her up, then he would walk a few yards away look...

    One Big Beautiful Bill is not dead - Senator Mike Lee's turn to go after our public land.

    As a Christian conserative I could not morally vote for the alternative in the WH and chose to defend my interest where I don't align with republicans. So I will continue to call and send emails to my democratic senators who are already opposing the bill.
