My loads are all worked up for the grooveless Etips. I guess I'll need to make a few changes when I get new ones. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

I usually load 50 rounds for each gun. I keep about 200 rounds for each pistol. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

I turn 50 in 6 months. Yesterday I was out with my inline with which I hadn't harvested anything with in 5 years of hunting with it. I saw 2 mature doe that didn't offer a shot early. Then around 4 pm, I glanced up from checking a message on my phone and 50 yards away stood a deer. It looked...

That's why I switched to Etips. I don't like eating lead. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

No, quickload can't account for variances in barrels. Some might have deeper rifling, others might be rifled with a worn cutter. Pressure will be different in different barrels. I have a 30-06 that fouled really badly so I used Tubbs final finish on it. It took more powder to reach the previous...

I used 185 gr GMX in my 338 for Elk. Killed it with 1 shot. If I hunted near Grizzlies, I would probably want a heavier bullet. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

I went to shot a ladder yesterday and decided to shot an old round to check my scope before shooting a ladder test. My first 2 shots were 6 inches higher than where they should have been. The velocity on my chrono was in line with what I had recorded previously so I chalked it up to the scope...

I do have a Shooting Chrony. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

How do you guys determine what load to start with when shooting a ladder? I am planning to load some 7mm Rem mag with 150 gr etips and Ramshot Magnum. The tech at Ramshot gave me a starting load of 66 grains to a max of 73.2 grains. I am thinking about starting at 3 grains below max and coming...

Congrats. I also was frustrated with lack of deer movement. Thursday night, I saw my only deer of the day at 4:35 pm. It was a young doe at 260 yards and I missed it with 2 shots. As I searched for any sign of a hit, my rifle slid off my shoulder and landed on the scope after hit muzzle first...

Those are some nice bucks. Congratulations Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

I hunt with 150 grain 7mm Etips but they are kind of pricey. After missing a deer at 260 yards yesterday, I realize that I need more practice at longer distances. Is the 150 ballistic tip a good option for the practice bullet, can I use the same powder charge and expect a close poi to the etip...

Those driven hunts look like fun. Congratulations Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

I harvested this small buck this morning on the wife's grandmother's farm. 7mm Rem mag 140 gr Nosler Etip. Deer haven't been cooperating this year, so I took the first legal buck I saw. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

Very quiet today in Juniata county. I don't know if the 2" snow scared the hunters or if the deer just aren't moving. I have only heard a couple of shots since 7 am and have only seen 1 doe 400 yards away. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

3 points on a side in the eastern part of the state and 3 up not including a brow tine in the western part. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

What wmu were you hunting? We didn't see any legal buck and antlerless isn't open. Hopefully Monday will be better. Chris Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

PA Game Commission did a test several years ago comparing ricochets from rifle bullets and shotgun slugs. Slugs traveled further due to the higher retained mass. Bullets broke up and lost more energy. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

I am from central PA which is very populated and we don't have very many problems with homes being shot. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

What is the reason for not allowing bottleneck cartridges in many midwestern states? More importantly, why don't hunters in those states fight to change the regulations? Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk
