My sister in law never wanted to eat venison. Ok - she ate duck I killed. One day she tried and from that day on she always asked if I could prepare some when she visits. My girlfriend only eats meat I took. No production for her. And I had former colleagues that are vegetarian who said venison...

Are Lovex or Reload Swiss powders available in the US? The Lovex D073. series produced very good speed and accuracy in 308 and 30-06 for me and at least over here, they are reasonably priced. The Swiss is more expensive, but S040 for the 308 and S060 for the 6,5 Creedmoor do very well. If you...

Happy new year! May it be better than the last... One month of hunting season left. Hope I get my A** off the couch and fill the freezer!

Great story Pat and congratulations to both of your daughters. I must admit I get a bit shaky myself if I can watch game for a long time before the shot presents itself. I usually hunt from a box stand and use a board parallel to the rifle. I push the rifle against the board and can take all of...

We have something around 40ish here. Was below freezing a week ago, but no white Christmas in northern Germany this year.... Wish you a a few happy days with your loved ones!

They are not quick, agreed. A friend of mine built them for me and I really like them for longer shots where I have the time to set them up.

I come from the home of the 9x19 - but a 1911 will always be a 45 ACP for me. Just as I would buy a K98 in 8x57 if there were any for south paws. Still - I am sure it works fine. It's just that there are a few classics I won't change

I have the Triggersticks, too. With the two point rest. I only use it for shorter distances. I don't like the wobble of the handle. Not steady enough for me if the nerves kick in...

That's what I use when I think I have enough time. Rock solid, not worse than the bench

Hm. As expected from a match bullet. Still they almost made it through, dumped a lot of energy and probably damaged some organs with multiple wound channels.

Don't primers have a waterproof cover anyway?

Without a trailing dog, I would prefer an exit wound. 100 y trail with two holes is easier to follow than 50 with just one on entrance. And harder bullets (bonded or monos) will do that more often than soft cup and core...

A Mauser 98 is a classic. And you will feed it with metric bullets. Kind of... If I weren't a lefty, I would have one for a long time. And 6,5-06 sounds very interesting

Be extra careful with load development. Some of them have problems with the steel.

Naaaahhaaa, those metric things don't work. Must have done something wrong

I do a Quickload check and work up slowly. Or have the load tested, if it is for someone else

Flir is ok. I use a polar for several years now and it helped a lot before and after the shot. I don't know if "before" is legal for you

Congratulations! The hit looks fine to me. Granted, the picture is at an angle. But it still looks good

Then just ignore it ;-)

I guess it means that the powder holds a certain amount of stored energy (It is checked with a calorimeter or similar.) That stored energy is transformed into heat and movement (bullet, gas,powder) I guess the ratio shows how much of the energy is transformed into movement of the bullet.
