    Why shoot diffrent weight bullets in same rifle

    I agree with Bambister above and now I shoot the heaviest pointed bullet I can stabilize, if the goal is longer range.I built a 600 YD range in my back yard to check my work. In 223 the 50 gr ballistic tip and 60 v-max were within an inch to 400 yds then the advantage went to the 60. The bigger...

    New Mexico Pronghorn - Good Trip

    Thought I'd share some photos from our trip. The antelope were spooky, sparse and the food/cover was diminished due to the drought but we managed to go 4/4. Was able to share this experience with my dad, uncle and good buddy. We worked our tail off and had several concerns about everyone...

    Another Speed Goat from NM

    Very cool, great choice on your bullet. Is that a 1n8 twist barrel? At that distance you are not bad at all. I aways figure 2 minutes from 100 zero to 200 and another 3 minutes from 200 to 300 so that is just a 4 to 5 minute up correction from a 100 yard zero. Have you put that load on a...

    Different guns for big game.

    I love firearms, so I have a bunch. Deer = .257 Wthby, .300 Win or .30-06 Elk = .300 Mag, .338 or .358 Win Antelope = .243 or .257 Wthby Varmints = .223 or .22-250 For years, a .300 mag or a .30-06 did it all for me. Then I added a .223. I do like flat-shooting rifles, usually...

    Different guns for big game.

    I use a 280 Rem for Elk, using a 140 grain tripple shock. .220 swift for coyotes, and some antelope. .223 wssm for coyotes, and what ever, (hope to do a wolf). most of my deer go down with old bear razorheads.Haven't rifled a deer in a long, long time. Killed my biggest elk with the lowely...

    SD 'lope takes a nap

    This took place a few weeks ago. Went roadtripping to scout out some pheasant areas. The area had a few leftover 'lope tags so I picked up a couple and headed out. I only had one day to hit it so if I saw a respectable buck it was gonna be in danger. Found the birds. Took me a couple...

    SD turkeys #1 and #2

    Two birds down in South Dakota so far. Bird #1- The first was a big mature bird taken in the Black Hills near my house. This particular area burned last summer. The birds are in the burn area thick as flies. They like the new green up I suspect. This bird was the boss bird of a bachelor...

    Rifles for a lifetime?

    1_pointer: I agree with a .338 Win mag on top. Federal offers a 250 grain Nosler Partition in its' HIGH ENERGY line that has the best performance of any among the traditionally biggest calibers. I'm a loyal 30-06 user, so I have to champion that caliber for the mid-range slot. I use Federal...

    what do you require in a varment gun

    All of the above... Be it Prairrie Poodles across an open field or Song Dogs coming to a call or harrassing an Antelope doe with a fawn in the brush. The first and foremost requirement is accuracy. A prairrie dog at 300 or 400 meters is a pretty small target. I need to know that when I lay...

    Define HUNTING

    I like Moosie's, Meathead's, and 1-pointer's. Here's mine: Hunting is seeking food. That's the short version. I like Jose Ortega's statement, One kills in order to have hunted, not hunt in order to kill. The spiritual part is like 1-pointer said, hunting gets at the source of life, the cycle...

    Who has killed what with a .243

    Thanks for sharing all of your experience. Since I still have not shot this rifle and it is new in the box, now I am thinking about trading it off. I have a .300 mag which I use for elk and deer, a 30-06 which my wife uses for elk and deer, and a single shot .223 H/R varminter I use for chucks...

    .22 Centerifres

    Well, It's about time you decided to hang out over here. I like all of the 22 centerfires. I have the first 223 varmint gun that I ever built and it still shoots sub 3/8 inch groups. I've tried the 22-250, the 222 and it's magnum alter ego, the 220 swift, and several of the 22/243...
