    Things that make you say Hmmmm

    Nosler does some really pro-customer actions, one being their Nosler Seconds for just blemished production that is still 100% useable at extreme knock down prices. What do all the other bullet manufacturers do? When we buy their products, are we buying seconds at Firsts prices? I don't know...

    Flat base Vs. Boat tail

    I tried those and also IMR 4831 and for the silly fun of it, also RL22. Always had a flier. The H4831sc was magic for my rifle. Hope it works for you.

    Flat base Vs. Boat tail

    Been there as well.. viewtopic.php?f=4&t=16770 --- it really was the powder and slow the bullet down a bit. I fine tuned this just a tad with an additional .004 off the lands to make it .034. I have tested and retested and retested 4 different range times. I can shoot a consistent 3/4" or...

    Tell me about a 7mm-08

    Thanks All! Some great thoughts. I have never shot a 7mm-08 or a 243 so I don't know what the mild recoil really is but your thoughts of firing first is excellent idea. Went to my gun shop and ordered the rifle today. (well they are first looking for it since they did not have it at the local...

    Tell me about a 7mm-08

    Looking to purchase a Weatherby Vanguard 2 rifle for the wife. She might use it for hunting (if I can get her past the Bambi story). We would definitely use it for target shooting fun at 100 and 200 yards. The caliber is versatile enough for target shooting fun and if we wanted to use it for...

    How long is the Tenderloin

    How long is the Tenderloin. I am going to do a gutless on my Elk and after seeing numerous different videos, it appears the tenderloin is about 15 inches long. A friend stated he believes the tenderloin is as long or almost as long as the backstraps? I am heading back to camp this morning so...

    Elk Ivories and Elk Rack

    Well I never gave this any thought (actually did not ever hear of this till stumbling upon a video) Who here removes the Elk ivories or whistler teeth for "whatever"? Also, do any of you just cut and take the elk rack but not the head?

    Aim Slightly Low

    I have heard in the past that if your game is up high or down low, that your trajectory POI is always a bit higher than a straight flat game shot. If this is true, then one should aim slightly lower? Thanks 338winmag

    Snowshoes - Never thought about them till now

    Last year 3rd Season in Colorado, areas 35 & 36, it snowed big time 4 days into the season. As we are getting a lil older, trudging through a foot and a half to two feet of snow can be challenging and tiring at times. Especially when you don't have snowshoes!!!! The pros about the snow is it...

    First Kill of the 2011 Season with the 35 Whelen

    Hilarious Title. I was expecting a pic of an elk or bear. I am afraid to say, "how in the world can this happen". If I do, I just know I am going to shoot mine too. :grin: :roll: With the chronys you do have to be just 4-6 inches from the eyes.

    How Long in the Ice Chest

    As silly as this sounds, what is this dry ice we are talking about. I understand what it is but is this something one can get at a store usually in a small city or. Also does this obviously stay cold longer?

    How Long in the Ice Chest

    Super Excellent information guys! I believe I have decided on the Coleman Extreme 120 for a couple of reasons after calling Coleman and speaking to a rep for quite a while. Here is the gist I got from them on their cooler models. (I am going by what they told me) The difference between the...
