FL Die and shoulder measuring
I’m trying to get my shoulder measurement on my brass to equal what my loaded factory Nosler partitions measure. I’ve been turning the die down and I’m still .003 long. I thought you only had to turn it a bit but it’s like it won’t bump the shoulder back anymore. I’m using a Hornady...- markwilks

Weatherby Vanguard and Nosler Partition 160 grain
Does anyone have any experience with this rifle and ammo combination? It’s not listed as ammo Weatherby tested as most accurate and it didn’t seem the best out of my rifle. I’m going to shoot it some more but I didn’t get moa from it. They shoot these in accuracy tests: Barnes Vortex 140... -
SKRE vs. KUUI vs. SITKA vs. First Light
Looking into purchasing my clothes for my first Elk Hunt next September. There are so many options and I can't decide what to buy. I already posted a thread about what I need and from that post I learned alot. Good base layer in either 150 or 250, a couple of pants, mid-layer shirts or... -
Colorado Winter
Getting really concerned about my September hunt in and around Hayden. Been reading how bad the winter has been. Spending a lot of money for a guide and hate to think I’m already going to be behind the 8 ball. Any thoughts. Feel bad that the herds are struggling. Really sucks. -

September Clothes
Will be hunting around Hayden 18th through 23rd September and not sure what clothes to bring or buy for the hunt. I’m from Michigan so all I have are mid to heavy weight hunting clothes for deer season. I was told temps will be 30’s to 40’ in the mornings up to 70’s. Never really hunted... -

Looking for uninsulated boot suggestions for a September hunt in Colorado. I’ve researched the forum for other posts already but they are suggesting boots that are above what I want to spend. Any good suggestions for boots $200 or below? Thanks! -
Swift A frame vs Nosler Partition
I’m still getting pumped up for my first and probably only Elk hunt of my life next year. I’m 55 and live in Michigan. Doubt I’ll ever get to go to Colorado again for another hunt so choosing the right ammo is important. I’ve ordered a couple boxes of 160 grain Partitions from Nosler for my... -
