    Side arm preference?

    Really like my .40 for packin' in the woods. Similar to a .357 performance wise. It may not be a .44 mag or 500, but I get 17 shots in mine instead of 5 or 6. And it may or may not put a bear down on the spot, but it's sure gonna hurt a hell of a lot more than pepper spray. M2C

    6.5x47 lapua

    On my way to visit with a gun builder now to hear his thoughts. I know he's a fan of the .243 AI. Not sure he's built a x47 lapua yet or not. Maybe he'll be up for something new.....

    6.5x47 lapua

    Been doing lots of research and it sounds like the creedmoor leaks at the primer when the loads get hot. A result of soft brass from hornady. I was thinking 260 AI, but I think I would have to seat the bullet in too far to fit my magazine. That's why I was thinking about the x47 lapua. A...

    6.5x47 lapua

    Anybody shoot or load for this caliber? I'm considering this caliber or a .243 AI for deer hunting. Would like to hear some first hand experience with the lapua round. Thanks

    300 wsm

    I load 65.5 grns RL17 with 180 accubond and fed 215 primer. I haven't chronographed the load yet, but groups are .35" at 100. Great shooting load out of my rifle. I was guessing my velocity around 3100, but I read a thread elsewhere with someone doing the same load saying they got 3150. I...

    Montana bear hunt

    We generaly hunt spring bears in SW Montana around the end of May. There is a lot of movement and things are pretty green. Good Luck, Fair Chase bear hunting is one of the most rewarding hunts I've done. My wife and I had a stellar season in 2009. We tagged out on the same weekend. Here's a...

    Any guess on how much he weighed?

    Congrats on a great bull this season. Everyone back east always wants to know the weight. Why is that??? My in-laws are all back east and ask the same question. I would say 500-600 lbs. would be in the ball park. Also depends where you got him. A big bull was taken out of the bull...

    How Close?

    This year makes 20 years with a bow for me. But this is my first season with a traditional. I'm tired of all the hipe and technology with the new compounds and the gear that go with them. I feel they are taking away from archery. That is why I switched. I've taken lots of elk and deer and I...

    How Close?

    Ok, This is my first season with a traditional bow. How close do I need to be to shoot an elk? I finally got my first available shot this morning at 20 yards. The wind was perfect, the bull was eating. His front leg was forward and his head was looking in the opposite direction. I pulled...

    Federal Premium Trophy Bonded Tip Ammo

    Shot federal trophy bonded for years in a 270. Took elk and deer. Never had a problem, just pricey. Now I reload accubonds in my 300 and love them. Have some scirocco's lying around I'm waiting to try too. Someone said earlier not to get hung up on a particular bullet. I agree, there are...
