After 50 years of hunting, I can't image not feeling blessed when I'm able to take my rifle or shotgun for a walk in the woods. And I truly mean just this; whether I harvest an animal or not is not the point. The magic of this experience has never been lost on me, and it has not subsided...

Hunting in Wyoming... Elk and mule deer are on the agenda and, hopefully, menu this year.

Prayers sent.

$600 and worth it. Good memories.

The apparent group drift was the result of me adjusting the scope 1/2 inch to the right (from the right target to the left). The overall size of the group spread remained the same. I cleaned the rifle barrel after every five shots, and between when I used different types of ammo. The only...

Very interesting! Thank you, Dan, for going to the effort to find these targets and notes.

I very much appreciate your detailed comments, Blkram. Undoubtedly, a great marksman could have done a better job than me with the ammo I tried. For what it's worth, I have a few rifles that I can consistently shoot better than the A-Bolt, i.e., 1 MOA groups with factory ammo. The riflescope...

Hi, Dan: Thank you for your thoughtfulness. I'm currently visiting NC, but I'll be traveling back to WY in a week. Based on the excellent feedback I've received - thanks, guys - I'll probably pick up a few more boxes of various factory loadings, knowing that my current best-case Barnes TTSX is...

I'm very sorry for your loss. May your son rest in peace.

Thank you, guys, for these great suggestions. I'm going to further investigate both the Bulls Bag X7 system and the PAST recoil pad, and I may acquire/try both. I appreciate the thoughtful advice. Kind regards, Cowboy 307

I'm aware of the valid reasons for advising against the use of lead sleds when sighting in rifles (broken scopes, cracked rifle stocks, etc.). However, in the interests of not further damaging my aging and surgically repaired shoulder, I'm thinking of acquiring and using a lead sled to sight in...

Prioritize your health, Brother. The hunts will always be there...

This link is to an interesting article that compares hunting bullets in the 6.5 PRC cartridge. While this article is not about the 6.5x55 Swede, you may find some of the observations to be useful/relevant to your decision...

Area 67. I'm a Wyoming resident so I bought the license over-the-counter. No points required.
