The canon full frame cameras are awesome. At least the two I have. Don’t get me wrong the 50D cropped sensor I have is a good camera. But the 6D has a much more usable high ISO. I’ve read that the high ISO on it is better than the 5D IV but I haven’t had time to do a comprehensive test on that yet.
Guy I’ve been a Canon shooter since I went digital and the latest is the 5D IV. I really like the images from the 6D I have and it’s not going anywhere but the 5D IV has a better autofocus system with a lot more focus points and I thought that might help with the wildlife.

I got a new (to me) camera body a few weeks ago and am still playing around with it a little at a time when I can.
The other morning I was sitting on the front porch drinking my coffee and trying to get a humming bird to cooperate and then the storm clouds started to roll past to the...
While most everyone in this thread has been focusing on powder and primers, just take a look at some bullets. This might not be a popular post here but Nosler Ballistic Tips have been my favorite bullet since they came out, what 30 years ago. If I couldn’t get a gun to shoot a NBT then that gun...
Thanks. I have been doing this for a long while. I just don’t get out to practice nearly as much as I should.
This composition took me a while to settle on. My mind kept wanting the tighter view which I started with but that just wasn’t working.
I thought that I had replied to this post already. Guess my CRS is kicking in. Guy I love to see your Big Horn photos I especially like the second one posted with the close up.
I’ve used a good bit of AA powders. Most was pistol powders. #’s 7 & 9 and a good bit of 5744 and the discontinued AA3100. I’ve also used 2015. I have had good results with all of them. I have never used 2520 but have always heard good reports about it.
Bill you are lucky to live that close. It’s right at a 3 hour drive for me. My wife and I have made day trips before but since I love photographing the streams just after sunrise we usually don't go unless we can spend at least one night.
Made it to the Smokey Mountains NP a week ago. Not as colorful or lush foliage as there will be a little later in the year but the heavy rains we have had lately have the streams and cascades running full.
I picked Sierra because I have probably shot more of them then any other except for Nosler. Nosler BT and Sierra have always been the easiest for me to get good accuracy out of. Lately due to availability I have shot a good deal of Hornady and have gotten some good groups but usually have to...
Ernie, I don't have the cartridges you asked about but I have a load for my 25 creed using Staball 6.5 and 100 grain bullets that are shooting under 1/2 MOA to 500 yards with charges thrown with an RCBS Uniflow. With the burn rate it might be worth looking into for the cartridges you are looking...
Even at today’s component prices I can load premium loads tailored for my 270 Winchester rifle at just under $1 a load. I can’t buy factory any cheaper. Also I recently bought the first box of factory 223 Winchester silver box for $24 and 4 out of 20 rounds failed to fire in my TC contender or...
