    Colorado 76 Early Rifle 2022

    Spent the last 2 days cruising CO 76 scouting with my young friend in his Polaris Razor that is one way to get a good feel of terrain and where we might stage our horses if we decide to use them. We found several moose so I know where I will ever go if I draw a tag, some very "moosy" spots...

    Messing with Nosler Accubond 140 gr 7mm in 280 AI

    Setting up a 280 Ackley this weekend and had a choice between 150gr Sirroco and 140 gr Accubond, The Sirroco 150 shoot into 3/4 inch but the 140 Accubond with a max load of H4831sc is putting 3 shots into a ragged hole, (crono shows 3050fps). Either are accurate enough, but I am thinking the 140...

    See what we used in the 50's for scopes

    Will be down for a few weeks with a new knee so started cleaning up workshop and found a stash of old scopes, I think the Balvar was the height of technology somewhere around 1955, a variable power scope with fixed fine cross hairs and a micrometer adjustment base. The others are a Frecker and...

    What Chronograph to buy?

    Ok gentlemen (ladies too) what chrono should I buy to replace the old model PACT I have that seems to have crapped out after 20 years. I like the idea of wi fi to my phone or iPad to record vs writing down strings before I clear. Simple is better for me, however I can probably rent a millennial...

    Planing 2021 elk hunt in Colorado, with 19 PP focused on Unit 76 early rifle.

    I am in the never land of Colorado preference points (just seem to staying 1-2 points away) and at 73 i don't think I will live long enough to tag out for the super prime areas like 66 and 201 for early rifle. With a new knee scheduled in 2 weeks I should be back in shape to do some serious...

    Best 30mm rings for Pic rail

    Was going to mount a scope on rail this weekend and had only Warne low rings and Burris medium, both put the scope too high in conjunction with the rail versus regular warne bases. Any suggestions? I was planning on putting a 20 MOA rail on one short action Mod 70 and a 0 MOA on a long action.

    Anyone shoot 6MM BR Remington?

    In my covid induced desire to clean out stuff I found a case of ammo and dies left over from an aborted project. I have some 6MM barrels sitting around and was considering chambering one. I think I dropped the project when it was apparent that I was basically shooting a 6 PPC (have 2 of those)...

    Starting from scratch with turret scope

    Ok folks, this is a subject about which i am completely without knowledge about where to start, even after starting with numerous internet tutorials (too many options!).

    Anyone using Winchester 6.5 staBall powder?

    Was in the gun store today and they had a shelf full of this powder, Vitavhouri 555, plenty of BLC2, H110, WW296 and CFE for both pistol and rifle. Nothing else and they had not seen H4350 or H4831sc in months. Ball meters really well and I thought about working up a load for the 270 and 6.5 PRC...

    Compare 270 loads, Nosler 130 partition vs 140 accubond

    Down to my last box of Nosier 130 gr partitions for my wife's 270, I am going to try some 140 gr accubonds with H4831sc as it was super accurate with the 130 gr partition at a near max load, anyone got any experience with the 140 accubond on elk? The 130 partitions worked great for cows in the...
