Yup my guess is your velocity is slightly off from the turret. I did a reverse calculation of your muzzle velocity based on the info given and came up with 2972.8fps. Keeping in mind that the closer the distance the less accurate the calculation. If you have verified drop data past 500 yards let...

Might look at the height of the scope above the bore and make sure that measurement is accurate. If you post all the specifics of your atmospheric conditions and sight height I can run some numbers for you. Also share what your actual drop at 500 is in MOA. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks! It was a truly fun hunt full of ups and downs. And you're correct DrMike, the 300 AB performed perfectly! According to my ballistic calculator it should have impacted the elk at 2390fps and 3807 ft/lbs of energy. I was equally impressed with the 129gr ABLR on that coyote. I ran it...

Have fun! My dad drew the archery version of that tag this year and killed a 6x6 that was about a 310 bull. There's plenty of 350+ bulls in there though. Pretty awesome place to chase elk! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry for the long post, but I'm gonna share in detail what is now my favorite hunt of all time! Had a first season Oregon bull tag that I got through a friend and ranch owner. He was gracious enough to give me one of their land owner tags. I posted earlier about a quick scouting trip we went...

Dang! That is a dandy buck! Congrats on a beautiful animal! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would think the ABLR would be a great bullet choice for a smoking hot cartridge like that. It could take a punishing close in shot and would also shine at extended ranges that the cartridge is designed for. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just an idea for you. Several years ago I picked up a VX3 LR on sale and sent it into the Leopold factory and had them put on M1 turrets and a TMR reticle. When I picked it up from the factory I asked the technician what was the difference between the scope I had and the equivalent Mark 4, and...

Thanks guys. I'm planning on taking lots of pictures and maybe even a little video. Should be a really fun hunt! I'm hoping to get back up there for one more scouting trip before opening day if my schedule will allow. I cleaned up a picture of the 6x6. Not a great pic but you can see him a...

Got out early this morning to do a little scouting for my first season bull tag with my good friend and ranch owner where I'm hunting. Man I'm excited! Saw quite a few elk and a couple of bulls. He saw a very large bull during archery season but we didn't see him today. It was my first trip out...

Or just sling it on the other shoulder....or carry it in the eberlestock pack? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

These guys are in my home town and do some amazing work on the Springfield pistols. Their trigger kits are some of the best I've ever felt! http://shop.powderriverprecision.net/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have recently picked up the glock 43 for my backup / off duty gun and I'm very happy with it. It is extremely accurate for its size and recoil is negligible. No malfunction issues and very lightweight. I carry it in an ankle holster as well as IWB and it is hardly noticeable. Sent from my...

While I think this takes most of the enjoyment and certainly the skill out of difficult shots...it would be kind of fun to play with! If nothing else the technology is pretty impressive. What do think? If you were filthy rich would you buy one? http://tracking-point.com/precision-gui ...

I won't expand on what's been already said as I mostly agree. I've shot a lot of elk with guns ranging from a 6mm to a 338 and here is my observation. While shot placement is critical I think that an elks knowledge of your presence and adrenaline level play a huge role in how they react to being...

IMR 4451 & H4350 are also excellent powders in the 260 with those bullet weights. I've had very good luck with both in mine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That would certainly be impressive! Wonder if that's using the higher pressure 5.56? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've had pretty good luck lately with picking a powder that gives good load density and a charge that gives me the velocity I desire and then tuning seating depth to tighten up groups. A little unconventional way of doing it but it has worked pretty well and saved time and components in my load...

I got amazing velocity with it in my 22-250 but couldn't dial in the accuracy I was getting with other powders. Would certainly be worth a look though in the 223. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
