    Determine "the right" length of pull

    Ok, I've looked around a bit and the other day, for the first time in a long time of looking I ran into a method to determine The proper LOP for you. It was a video Boyd's puts out. the guy measured 5 3/4 inches back from trigger and made a line on a piece of tape on the stock. Then, he...

    Compact/Youth lightweight gun and recoil... question.

    I have not shot any really lightweight guns, in bigger centerfire calibers, excepting a few lever actions. Looking at getting a kid a compact rifle and am wondering, in a 6.5-7.5 pound total weight rifle, anyone have opinions and experience with recoil comparing something like 308 vs 7-HT vs...

    We've got the Meats Too...

    A lot going on this year and I didn't know how much elk hunting I'd get in... and I dreaded not having meat in the freezer... so... my hunting pardner and I vowed to kill legal elk as soon as possible... I took her and her two sons (12 an 14) into some nice country on a Friday afternoon... and...

    It Happens

    When I get a minute to tell the story the title will make more sense. Regardless, it was a fun summer leading up to sheep season. In a way I wish I still had a tag and was heading up again, but I guess when it happens it happens. I'll add some more pics and more story later today!

    First buck in a while....

    Was hoping to get this gal on some elk this weekend, but we kept running into deer instead. Couple close calls with a little bigger buck and a few smaller ones... but this guy stood still just long enough for her to put a 150 grain 308 right across the top of his heart... Then she drug him 1/2...

    Chargemaster Dispenser

    I have been reloading using a traditional scale and trickler for about 25 yrs now... I am considering upgrading to an auto dispenser... All my hunting stuff gets weighed perfectly, while some of the target stuff I just check every 5th or so... Anyhow, Im not a real high production reloader...

    Hearing Protection while hunting...

    Who all use hearing aids/ear plugs while hunting? I have really messed up ears and nowadays...even one shot from my rifle will ruin my dam week... the ringing is horrible... I know there are a number of form fitted products that suppress noise over XX decibles and also amplify normal noises...

    Wall Tent Safety... (FIRE)

    I've spent several hundred nights in a wall tent...and many of those nights were peppered with a stove glowing orange at 273 kelvin... with me laying on top of bag with no clothes on... To be honest, I never once considered worrying about the tent catching fire. One time, the wood pile next to...

    Cutting a stock to fit

    So, what is the "proper" way to determine the best length of pull for someone?? I am a small guy, 5'7"... and I have no problem with full size guns. I cut down a shotgun and a rifle for my daughter, whose just 5 foot... I cut 1 1/4 off her rifle stock. I still feel comfortable shooting that...

    The weather is coming...the weather is coming!

    I really struggle hunting elk in the warm, dry weather... I still like being out, but without the cold keeping them moving and the lack of snow to follow sign easily...well, I just suck at it without those variables! But alas... it looks like we'll get some weather in Montana starting Thursday...

    Nice Bull

    So yesterday was a good day at work. Most days are, but days like yesterday make it better yet. We were doing some range monitoring and stumbled across some 2 year old sheds... six actually! One good one and 5 little ones. Then as we were making our way back to the truck I spotted this guy...

    Shoulder dents when resizing....

    I've been reloading my 06' for 20 some years...and have never had this issue. I guess because of the steeper shoulder and not lubing quite right, I'm getting some dents in the shoulder of the 243 cases when resizing... I figured out the correct way to lube them and not get dents, I think, but my...

    First Paddlefish

Maybe a hundred casts or so and I finally got this little male...32#... not long after my buddy hooked this 79 pounder...and another bud got this 69 pounder... We put out a bunch of set lines and ended...

    Give me your thoughts...bullet wt and effectiveness.

    So, I have always shot the 165 or 168 Barnes outta my 06' for elk and deer. Not real concerned about deer, but am wondering what your opinions/experience is concerning usnig heavier bullets for elk. I've been dinking around with a ballistics program and have very little real data from my rifle...

    Favorite 243 bullet for deer....elk....

    My daughter, nor I have killed anything with her 243 yet (that'll change next year...guaranteed. I have been loading the 80 grain TSX in it, figuring it ought to do the trick just fine. Has anyone else had good performance with this bullet or any other that they'd like to share? Particularly...

    Accubond vs BT Hunting and BT Silvertip

    I haven't even looked at BC's yet, but in the pictures, these bullets all look identical except for the color of their tips... True??? Am I missing something here? Must be something, cause the BT is way less $$ than the accubond.
