Until this year my elk and deer antlers have been European mounts or just cut off the skull. This years 4X4 Mulie, even though just better than average per my guide, will be a shoulder mount that I can gaze upon in my olde age, remembering the day....:-). I have a black bear rug from my bear...

Sorry I have no personal experience with your rifle or load. In your situation I would start with a call to Barnes and Hogdon respective customer service lines to see if they can offer suggestions.. Good Luck, Rol

I carry cotton balls saturated with Vaseline, water proof matches and the steel striker as primary tools. Back up is a pint size plastic jar containing a small roll of shop towel soaked with 99% isopropyl alcohol. Excellent firestarter and doubles for sanitary use.

Thanks for the comparison Guy, very interesting. When I have time I will try to do a similar comparison of the creedmore to the .270 win. Probably not as telling as your work, it will be interesting to see..

My experience is limited to the BOG tripod after shooting two animals in Montana last fall while using the tripod.. It doubles as a walking stick, if you are careful not to bang the legs together it is quiet, and the increase in stability is great for me. Before last fall I thought it was just...

Congratulations, well done.. thanks for sharing

I have found 56.6 gr of IMR 4451 under a 180 grain Partition to be very accurate and effective on Mule Deer and elk.. using Nosler cases and Federal 210 primers. Velocity runs about 2,730 fps out of a 24" barrel. In my Ruger #1 with a 22" barrel I drop about 30 fps. Good luck.

The picture was taken in my Dad's garage, the old lanterns are long gone. My Dad and I hunted together back when I was a young fella. The shotgun is my Browning Sweet Sixteen, a birthday present from Mom and Dad. It has a place of honor next to my Dad's Browning Light 12 in the gun cabinet...

Dan's post is 100% accurate as far as the story goes.. :grin: Omitted is the fact the winds were in constant change this morning and the buck was not coming from the bedding area as I expected him to do. It was a wonderful day, Dan even went back to his house and brought us a wonderful...

Congratulations Caleb, as said, well done from field to freezer.. looking forward to seeing you in the near future.

Does anyone have experience with lead free bullets? I have used Nosler Partitions and Accubonds with great success. The only reason I see to switch is to be more sensitive, responsible, toward the environment, specifically eagles and other critters feeding on entails left in the field. The...

Congratulations Dan, your hard work has paid off... I hope that you have a tag left so that you can go out with me and "Thump" a big doe with your 450 Marlin in a few days. (y)

Traveling now, will try after a bit..

Rodger, I did not take either animal on the Greenhorn or Timber Creek ares that we hunted together.

No new truck.. I canceled the deal.. meat will be under my locked cap... elk were in a different area.

Montana 30-06, both animals, 180 Partition hand loads, complete pass through on both animals.

The long anticipated 2017 Montana Hunting Trip is nearing a close. What a season it has been. First off, Rodger, aka Truckdriver and I started planning a get together to hunt elk and deer last winter when we met for lunch in Maryland with our wives. Rodger had learned of my previous successes...

Congratulations Troy, very nice reward for your dedication and effort. Hunting memories that you can carry in the future are treasures. Great that your family joined in the hunt.
