Anyone have any idea why Hornady would make their 50 gr 22 cal vmax with a boattail. But not their 55 gr 22 cal vmax? :?

POP, Great story. Now I'm getting the itch to go back to WY for another antelope hunt.

And what about baiting bears? Opinions? :?:

It would be great to have a lot of hunting skill AND shooting skill. But if I had to choose to have a lot of one and a little of the other, I would choose to have a lot of the hunting skill. :)

Very nice groups, Eagleye.

Do you shoot the deer while they are in the 'food plot'?

POP, VERY nice speed goat buck. Did you get him in area 47? :)

Baiting? You shoulda seen the food plot I made for black bear - some people called it the city dump. :wink:

POP, Thanks for the advice about area 47. My hunting buddy and I are applying for Arizona elk. If we aren't drawn (good possibility), we will either go for mule deer around the Craig, Colo area or a return trip to WY for antelope. Thanks again.

POP, My buddy and I got lucky last year. Picked up leftover antelope permits for an area just east of Casper - not much public land but it had a walk-in area. I got mine the first day and my buddy got his on the 2nd day. If you were going to apply for a permit for an area that had a fair...

That sure is a shame, POP. My shooting buddy and I plan on taking a drive to shoot some p-dogs just as soon as he gets his 22-250 and I finish developing loads for my 223 and 243 WSSMs. Don't know how far we will have to drive. That guys on the plane told me the owner BEGGED him and his dad to...

POP, I was sitting next to a guy on a flight from Phoenix to Denver a couple years ago, and he was telling me about shooting prarie dogs on the Buffalo ranch that sits on the CO/WY line near I-25. He said the owner begged him and his dad to shoot them. Do you happen to know if the owner will...

Just wanted to post 2 photos of my 270 WSM. Win Mod 70 Super Shadow, Alaskan Guide 6.5-20x52 scope in a 30mm tube, Warne rings and bases. Stock bedding and finishing was a do-it-yourself project. Stock is Richards "Dual Grip Thumbhole" in California Claro Walnut.

Just wanted to post a couple pics of my new stock. 243 WSSM Mod 70 Super Shadow, Alaskan Guide 6.5-20x52 Scope with 30 mm tube, Leupold rings and bases. Glass bedding and stock finishing done by me as a do-it-yourself project. Stock is a Richards Stock "Wildcat Thumbhole" in Camo Laminate.

Rem Boy, You should join the forum over at www.shortmags.org - they would love to have your wealth of knowledge over at that forum.

Richcale, I got your drift. And I understand and concur. :lol:

I'm finished trying to reason with you, Know-It-All. I guarantee that sooner or later, probably sooner, you will just wound a nice game animal and it will die a slow miserable death. I won't be wasting my time replying to any more of your self gratifying dribble.

270 Win, You would have a very stubby bullet with a low BC. It wouldn't be that awesome. Sorry.

You have no way of knowing what the wind is doing 500 yards away. As far as high BC bullets bucking the wind - 30 cal 165 grain .477 BC bullet leaving the muzzle at 3200 FPS drifts 16.6" at 500 yards in a 10 mph crossing wind. 16.6" If you get it HALF right, you end up with a gut shot...

I think the 300 WSM would be a nice addition to your 243 and 280.
