    Working up an elk load for the 8x68S

    Hello all, I'm in kind of a bind here. I want to come up with a good elk load for my 8x68S using a 200gr Nosler Partition, but I am having a hard time finding a good starting point to do a ladder test. Right now I only have IMR4350 for powder. I called Nosler and Hodgdon and neither have any...

    This was only my second year applying for the tag. That's why I'm so unprepared. Never thought I'd even draw one.

    Nebraska Elk

    Thanks everyone. Been on the phone for the last couple days to no avail. The numbers game and parks gave me are all full up. Looks like it's public for me this year. Not really a big deal, just means I'm going to have to hunt that much harder.

    Nebraska Elk

    Hello all, I am in quite a bit of a pickle here. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would draw a Nebraska bull elk tag, but today I received notification that I drew a North Platte River unit bull tag. Because I wasn't really planning on drawing that tag, ever, I am so...

    Mule Deer Taste, Is it just me?

We made tacos and spaghetti with the ground and cooked up some steaks over the past couple months. The steaks were amazing, but the...

    So, I've got this rifle...

    Well there she is. I also took a picture of one of the factory RWS 200gr EVOS next to a 140gr SST for my 270win to show size difference. The reason I want to start reloading is the one box of 20 rounds from RWS cost me $96+shipping. I found a shop in NH that imports them from Germany but you...

    So, I've got this rifle...

    Thanks for all the help so far everyone, I do intend on hunting elk more than just this once, but I will probably end up going to Colorado or Idaho for the OTC tags. This Wyoming hunt is something very special to me, I have always felt the need to fulfill the intended purpose of this rifle since...

    So, I've got this rifle...

    Hello everyone, I'm new to elk hunting (quite new to hunting in general) but I've got a few questions maybe someone could help me out with. For starters, I'll save the sob story, but I have recently acquired my grandfather's rifle back from the guy who purchased it off of his estate sale...

    South West Nebraska Mule Deer Help

    Well I had a blast. Got this guy opening morning at 0930. Couldn't have asked for a better first deer. Even though I'm 27, I still am thrilled with the opportunity to provide some fantastic meat for my family. Hoping to get out for late archery season to fill my doe tag yet this year, but even...
