    Bull Elk Today

    The G4's in that bull on the skyline is impressive.

    Today my Draht puppy went 31 miles and I went 5 miles. I don't have a GPS collar for my lab but I bet she is half that. My youngest son and I got 4 birds and he shot a bird with a 22" tail. One of the better birds this year for planted birds. I shot a 24" a couple weeks ago.

    My Drahthaar puppy probably does twice the miles my lab does. He is like a crack addict with ADHD. I talk to the owner of the brother to my dog and he tracks his dog chuckar hunting. He walked 9 miles and his Drahthaar puppy did 29 miles. That's burning tons of calories.

    Old dogs

    I've done a lot of experimenting with food recently. My Draht puppy was raised on Inushuk dog food out of Canada and when I was ordering it from Chewy both dogs seemed to do well. I reached out to the owner of my dogs brother and asked if he was interested in splitting a pallet, 65 bags. After...

    I got into 2 birds this morning and my Draht jumped one early. The other one jumped when I was tangled in some trees and couldnt even get my gun up. I did get 2 yesterday though.

    Have you tried going out to the Calculations page and then back into the specific calculation program to see if it will reset? Sometimes it saves info from the previous session but if that doesn't work you might try refreshing the page itself to see if it will reset. Otherwise you might have to...

    Even better but there will probably be some democrats that will bid it up knowing who the buyers are.

    Patiently Waiting

    All of the issues with sizing brass in the PRC chambers is using tougher brass like ADG and Lapua. The die to chamber dimensions are too close for tougher brass that springs back more coming out of the sizing die. when the brass is too close to the chamber size it doesnt spring back enough to...

    Trump should personally buy it at auction and sell it back to the government at no profit.

    Very impressed on two fronts..30-378

    We did tons of rockchuck dispatching in the 90's with about anything you can imagine including 375 H&H, 416 Rum, and 460 Weatherby. The problem is the bullets from the big bores are too tough, without modifying, to get explosive performance like a varmint bullet. We shot tons with .30 cal 150gr...

    JBM will do data in about any increments but you can't pick certain drops at various distances. You can pick odd zero distances just nothing like -5.00" at 406yds. If you pick 10 yard interval distances you could probably figure that out though.

    Very impressed on two fronts..30-378

    I built a 30-378 Imp with a 30" barrel years ago. It shot 150 Ballistic Tip over 4000fps, 165's 3900fps, 185's over 3600 and 210's over 3400 with WC872 ball powder. Mine was a caliber length neck, 35 degree shoulder, and minimum taper.

    2024 Hunting Season

    That would be cool Don, thank you. I have a feeling I'd be better with a check cord also.

    300 WSM vs 300 Win Mag

    The Nosler and Weatherby are similar capacities. The RUM has about 12+% more capacity and 100+fps advantage.

    2024 Hunting Season

    My kid and I visited the local WMA area for some ditch chicken slaying. My Drahthaar puppy has a nose on him but is blowing through points to try and catch the birds. I have work to do but his nose is amazing.

    300 WSM vs 300 Win Mag

    A long throated 300wsm with heavy bullets, ie: 215 Bergers, and R-23 or R-26 will run 2920-2950ish with a 24" barrel or around 2960-2980fps with a 26". A long throated 300wm will run almost identical velocities with H-1000. With Retumbo it will add around 40fps and with N-570 it will add about...

    300 WSM vs 300 Win Mag

    If that were true then every winning short range benchrest caliber wouldn't be a 6ppc and almost every .30 1000yd benchrest gun wouldn't be a 300wsm. A optimal case capacity to bore size usually means the best accuracy. That is why the 6BRA is out shooting the 6 Dasher now at 600 and 1000yds.

    Work Sharp Elite (blade sharpener) flipped my thinking...

    The Outdoor Edge replaceable blade knives are much stiffer than the Havalon and Gerber knives. They have an aluminum spine the blades slide into that makes them much stiffer. I havent run a fixed blade knife in forever it seems. I carry 2 with me and a elk usually takes both to bone out. Its...

    Tape over the muzzle?

    I hunt with tape over my muzzle brakes all the time. My son and I both shot our elk this year that way. I've never seen it effect anything if it's just one level of tape. So I just run one up and over piece and then wrap it one time around the barrel so it doesn't unravel.
