When did Caribou become a Premier Hunt
I have lived in MT my whole life. I remember looking in the hunters education booklet in 2007 when my older sister was in her class. I saw that Montana had a small remnant herd of caribou that would travel back and forth across the border. From that point at 9 years old I was enamored by the...- Hams42

45-70 Henry Model X VS. Marlin 1895 SBL
Okay I have seen a few posts like this but I just need some input on these specific models. I am ready to pull the trigger on buying a 45-70 lever gun. For 10 years I wanted the Henry All Weather in 45-70. I like the look of it and I liked it being cerakoted I actually went to buy one last... -

I ended up getting rid of the gun shortly after this but I am pretty sure I just wasn't getting the shoulder pushed back enough.- Hams42

Hammer loads for 30-06
I highly recommend you join Hammer Time. That is the forum for Hammer bullets. Steve the owner and the other mods are a super valuable resource. I have only done loads with my .308 so far but the biggest thing that I took away from loading Hammers is to mainly be concerned with speed. Just make...- Hams42

16 inch 308 win or 358 win
I think that's a testament to the Hammers. I am shooting the 151 gr Absolute Hammers out of the 18" .308 at about 2900fps. My wife and I killed 4 elk with it this year. The bullets are awesome and are devastating! -
16 inch 308 win or 358 win
Feel that. I'm about to get a 45-70 for close range brush hunting. -
16 inch 308 win or 358 win
I have an 18" .308 with a Banish Backcountry. I love the gun but it took about 7 months of load development before I was happy. Sounds like you won't have the high standards that I had of wanting energy out to 500 yards. I think 16.5" for close range would be awesome. -

Elk .... Let's see them!!!
So much for filling my permit with a monster. I put lots of miles on the boots and tires and I think if the season would have been 3 days longer I could have got on a mature bull. However last day of season meant that rag horns were on the table or for better words in the freezer. -

2025 General elk is a wrap
I had this happen with an Accubond out of my 270 with a cow elk about 7 years ago. I shot her and hit her rib. The bullet exploded and just nicked the liver as it deflected off of the rib bone. I got her but it was a close one. -
Elk .... Let's see them!!!
I agree nice long tines. He got me excited as soon as I put glass on him. -
Elk .... Let's see them!!!
Couldn't get this bull to leave his cows tonight. Must have been one hot cow the way he was acting. I definitely was going to shoot him if he hoped the fence. Any guesses on score? Im trying to get better at field judging. -
