    Best Calibers For Moose Hunting

    Then you'll like my.. ahem 9.1x63 Whelen. I've never shot a moose, but I have known two people nearly killed by moose in separate car accidents. In both cases the moose survived and the car didn't. Tough critters. Sorry, '86 Volkswagen isn't a caliber recommendation as the OP requested, nor...

    Elk Hunting Caliber

    All of this. Knew a lot of Utah hunters that used .270 Win. I did the math once, and if I recall, I think the average shot from the stories they told was between 80 and 120 yards. So this levels.

    44 Rem Mag Mid Range Loads

    I have made them with W296, which I understand is basically H110, and also with Blue Dot. I find that Blue Dot is a fair bit more difficult to measure, and seems to burn a bit dirtier. That said, I also find it works very well. Think I'm at +/- 15 gr of Blue Dot with 240gr cast. Don't recall...

    Lever weekend.

    I love levers and those look absolutely fantastic! A takedown 45-90? Where has this been all my life?

    Back from Cerakote

    That does look amazing. I expect you will have stories to tell about it and yotes before too much longer.

    Rock Chucks (Again!)...next week in the mountains

    Seeing those pics has led me to believe two things: 1) I need to handgun hunt more 2) I live in the wrong place That's good shooting, but an amazing vista. Good for you.

    Spending a hundred dollars

    That's great question. For me - hmmm... tough question, too. Don't really have a need for a stock, right now, so it's a tossup between powder and scope. Of the two, I think I'd settle on the scope. Powder would probably be the "smart" choice, since it is more likely to spike in price, but I...

    Switched to bigger cartridge

    I'm confused why this conversation isn't about the 35 Whelen ;) It is my opinion that what a person shoots best is what they should use - within reason. That said, my opinion doesn't really matter in this case. If she likes the 300WSM, then that's awesome. If not, I'm sure the both of you...

    Hunting Partner

    Guy, I think you've got this all wrong. The way I see it, the guy with the scoped rifle was the bait, and his job was to wander the tundra with a salmon in the seat of his pants to try and get the bear to chase him. This painting captured the moment just after he succeeds.

    Getting Started

    The half-breath method is how I was taught when I was young. Are you practicing on your own, or do you have someone who can lend a little time to help? One of the things I was taught for shooting AR's was called a dime and washer drill. For that, you hang a plastic washer on the end of the...

    Getting Started

    Good for you! My advice, as silly as it seems, is to remember to breathe.

    Bad 223 ammo

    Sorry to hear about the bad ammo, and the cancelled hunt. Can't offer much more than that. Good luck with the customer service.
