New to ML hunting
100%. Take a normal setup like my T/C Encore pushing a Thor 250 at 1750 FPS. That projectile has lost fully half its kinetic energy by 150 yards. I could normally care less about this kind of stuff, but it's outright irresponsible to preach to the general population that 300 yards is a...- oxn939

New to ML hunting
Funny. This debate comes up on here or the slide every few years. It's always the same script... someone points out how silly it is to shoot at a game animal with irons beyond 200 yards, and the long range ML competition crowd comes in with charts and claims of experience to demonstrate their...- oxn939

Low mag, High Quality
Bumping this again after a zero issues with a Leupold. Anyone got a Kahles 2-7 sitting around they want to turn into cash? -

Hammer vs Barnes question???
Interesting. Guess the question is whether bullets sitting at a stable temperature would ever harden, and if so, how long that would take. Anyone a metallurgist on here?- oxn939

The caribou hunt that almost wasn’t
Unfortunately, your assessment is spot on. The Sag is a cash cow these days with the insane demand for caribou hunts- my buddy flew over the last week of August and said camps averaged about a half mile apart in some sections. There's still some cool river hunting in the state, but it's usually...- oxn939

Hammer vs Barnes question???
Yep. Exit wound on my elk this year. 80ish yard shot, 120 grain Hammer Hunter via 7mm-08. Second elk I've killed with a round that is "way too small" for 600 pound animals Interesting. Never heard of copper age hardening, and Google says that's not a thing. Do you have experience with this?- oxn939

Shiras Moose Hunt - A lot of firsts...
Man what an incredible experience and a beautiful animal. Currently sitting through my last day of work before flying out for elk near there this weekend, and reading up on adventures like this has the stoke level through the roof. Congrats on an awesome harvest and lifetime memory.- oxn939

Howa Superlite - my experience
Man that's funny, I had the exact inverse experience... finally caved and bought a brand new T3X and its headspace was off, would put deep ejector marks into 3 of 5 brands of factory ammo I tried just cycling them through the action without firing. Sent it in and they said "seems fine to us" Do... -

First I'd heard of rear baffle wear. Wouldn't happen to have a pic or two would ya? Always kinda babied mine honestly but never seen anything like that -

Howa Superlite - my experience
Arguably the best factory hunting rifles ever made, possibly even over the Fieldcraft. Strong chance that comes on my first sheep hunt when I get AK residency
