Thanks everyone. It sounds like it might not be ideal at the speeds I'm running. I might have to do some more experimenting. It shot better in this particular rifle than the ABLR and I did not try the Berger in it. I don't know that the Berger at this speed will be any better. I might need...

Thanks guys. I agree that the bullet would likely have looked much different at a lower impact speed. Started at 2750 from a Creedmoor the impact velocity would have been nearly 500fps slower. Kinda wish my rifle liked the ABLR as well as the Hornady now, accuracy just wasn't there with that...

I shot a buck Sunday morning with my new 264 win mag set up for longer shots and the 143gr ELD-X. My gunsmith buddy who built the gun had an employee who was drooling over it and wanting to do the load work so I let him. He is a great shooter and guy and they often go shoot at an 800yd range in...

I never did get pics to work. I just figured I'd do an update on the rifle for anyone else considering going with Rifles Inc. I used the 300WM to take my muley buck in Wyoming last fall. Late in the hunt I got a chance at a nice 28" 4x4 buck that was headed away from me. I got prone over my...

I found a used Grizzly 165 I got bought pretty reasonable. The guy went from a Toyota Tundra to a Tacoma and needed to downsize coolers. My F350 has room for the big cooler. I haven't used it yet, but loaned it to a couple friends who used it on an archery elk hunt and got the quartered bull...

A preliminary copy of my 2018 Alaskan moose hunt list. It is definitely open to critique and advice. I'm not sure how well this will copy and paste from Excel to here, we have a 100lb weight limit for the plane. Some items are group items and listed accordingly, plus I rounded every ounce of...

Glad it's working out. I looked really hard at that pack myself before I ended up choosing the Exo. I really like their dry bag insert they are coming out with and their layout. I don't think that you can really go wrong when you get into the Stone Glacier, Kifaru, Exo, Mystery Ranch level...

A guy on one of the other forums uses the Pintler and frame as his moose pack. If he needs extra room he runs a dry bag between the frame and bag. He loves it, nice as a daypack but capable of a moose quarter. He hunts them far more than most of us ever will, if it will handle his moose I'd...

Not sure it's in the budget for this year, but K2 has the 120qt coolers in their scratch and dent section considerably cheaper than the other roto-molded brands. I'd like to get one for the muley trip this year, maybe 2 before my next elk hunt.

I personally tried a Kuiu pack, the Ultra 1800 and returned it. I didn't like the frame design, just didn't fit me. I wouldn't worry about the durability on Kifaru. The other forums I'm on have some guys who use the heck out of them, far more days and pack-outs than I'll ever get to put in...

This thread made me think of a knife I hadn't seen in years I had, an old Gerber Bolt Action blade exchanger like the one 1100 Remington Man has pictured. Not sure if his is the model that's blades can be swapped or not, but mine looks like the one in his picture. I dug it out and sharpened...

Thanks and please let me know how it works. I'm waiting on a K2 frame, 2000 bag, and 3500 bag. I also ordered the crib attachment for hauling quarters with the bag removed after the first trip. Good luck on your hunt! I enjoyed the podcast of the Exo guys moose hunt and talked to Steve on...

I have loose ankles from spending most of my life in cowboy boots that offer no ankle support. I tried the Danner pronghorns and they work great for lower country hunts. When doing miles of side-hilling or packing meat in rough stuff I found I need more ankle support. Both the Cabelas Alaskan...

If this works it's a link to my photo album on Eastman's forum, has pics of the rifles. I can't get photobucket to work anymore. 264 http://forum.eastmans.com/album.php?alb ... entid=2649 http://forum.eastmans.com/album.php?alb ... entid=4198 Not as good a pic, but the 300WM with it's first...

Has to be my first centerfire rifle I bought. A Winchester M70 Classic Stainless. It started life as a 7 mag and got rebuilt to a 300 win mag when a friend went through gunsmith school in Denver and needed rifles to work on. I shot that barrel out eventually and it now wears a 264WM barrel...

I have the Onx maps app on my phone that shows private and public. It is very accurate from what I've used it so far. Some property sold nearby and it took approximately 6 months for it to show the new owner, so it is updated fairly regularly. With the technology today there isn't much excuse...

I'm looking for another one of these knives if anyone has one to sell. I'd be interested in just the skinning or utility blades from the set also if you have those. I have one of these knives and was thinking if I could round up some more blades I could just pack them on hunts, sharpen...

Drew a Wyoming muley tag. It will be a tough hunt in a new unit, it's a 0pt tag in the Special draw. Other than that it's coyotes and whitetail around home. I have shot 20 coyotes since January 1 so I'm making a little progress. I haven't shot many since we got cattle out to summer grass.

Here is a link to my comparison of the Accubond vs Berger after using both quite a bit. I agree with a lot of what has already been said, the Bergers kill extremely fast with a good hit. The Accubonds are my favorite if I could only shoot one, they have just been great for me. My main...
