I use First Light merino with zip off bottoms most of the time, its some of the softest. I also use Kuiu merino with zip off bottoms.

I have a .45 and 2 .40's. All of them are Remington 700 single shot actions and Brux barrels. Pittman makes some pretty high BC bullets for them. Idaho still has archaic muzzleloader rules but several other states have pretty liberal rules and that is why I built them. With a large powder...

Congrats to all Scotty. What is that grey stuff in the old beard? :) Did the Old Goat get to draw blood? He hasn't been around here much lately. Tell him we miss him.

I saw a couple bulls this morning chasing cows. Unfortunately they were 5-600yds on to private property and I only have a cow tag until 10/25. After that it's bulls and cows where we were. One was a 300+" bull and was super cool to see shining in the sun just after sunrise.

I shot my last moose in AK with a 300wm and 215 Bergers. I shot it at 250yds through the front shoulder and it exploded both lungs. It went about 30yds and piled up. "Match" bullets aren't for everyone, and I've even made a few bad shots with them (most of them were animals that moved), but if...

I wouldn't use 162's in a fast 7mm. I shot a bull at 533yds with 162 Amax's doing 3265 and it didn't make it past the first lung. From what I've seen the Amax and ELD-M bullets perform the same on game. I would want to keep the velocity well below 3000fps if I was shooting elk with them.

From what I've read about them they are more violent than the EDM's. With those 2 calibers I doubt your velocities will push them to their limits. I have a bunch of the 230gr .30's to try in one of my .30's when I get a chance.

I'm thinking that dude is worthy of a lead injection.

I have only used a few powders in mine, I shoot mostly magnums and slow powders like R-26, H-1000, and N-570, but it has been easy. You might have to play with the speed a bit to get the measurement correct if your going for max speed with each powder. If you slow it down a bit it seems easier...

I have a V4 and they are pretty cool. Definitely expensive but way faster and more accurate.

N565 and H1000 are virtually identical in my 6.5prc. With the same charge weight, 58grs with 147 ELD-M'S, the speeds are within 10fps. I shoot 55grs of R26 with the same 147's and get the same velocity as H1000 and N565. I dont think you'll get close to R26 speed from N560. The burn rate might...

BC does change some but air density is more critical and has a larger effect. A bullets profile doesn't drastically change but how the air effects it does change with altitude/humidity/temperature.

The atmospheric pressure goes down as the elevation goes up. The lower pressure reduces the drag on the bullet and therefore the bullet retains more energy and velocity at longer ranges. The starting velocity doesn't change no matter the elevation, with all else being equal.

Only had 1lb bottles but I bought 8. Probably should of bought more but I just bought 8lbs of R-26 last week too and I have 150lbs or so of powder already.

I haven't shot the ELD-M'S in 7mm 162gr but I have shot the Amax version in a 7-300wm at 3265fps. Even at 530yds they didn't pentrate past the onside lung on a bull elk. I'd be careful using them on elk with any kind of magnum. I think I'd go to the 180's. BTW that bull never got back up but it...

That is begging for a "flock" shot

The funny thing is if you have the mag length the 338wm with a 285 ELD-M and are 416 Ruger with a 340MTH Cutting Edge bullet are almost the same velocity at top velocity with a 24" barrel, around 2625. Both would be loaded around 3.65"AOL. A 250 Berger might have better long range ballistics in...

If you got in late to the point game it's a race between age/ability against everyone else with more points then you or you might get insanely lucky. I'm not wishing harm to anyone but I'd imagine there are some that will drop off due to age, ability, death, etc as the point totals get so...

I would hunt axis on Lanaii Hawaii and go during bird season, the end of November to end of Jan. There are some massive turkeys there in addition to francolin, doves, etc. There are tons of birds. You can hunt with a guide or pay to hunt DIY on the private property, which allows you to hunt any...
