A lot of good information for Elk Loads. My only thought would be when you're out over three hundred yards you are stretching it for the 7MM-08. A good friend of mine shot a nice Bull Elk at 346 yards using a partition and the performance wasn't what he expected. The Elk was hit in a good spot...

I have a black round ball at the top of the handle.

Mine is in a lot better condition and I am still using it. No problem with making good reloads.

We have Robins everywhere in my part of Florida (central East Coast)

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all the forum members!!!!

Also, I just found out that Sig now makes a 21 round magazine that will fit all P365's. That eliminates having to carry the extra mag that a lot of people like to do

I'm with you on that combination Guy. I shot a .45 for many years and used it as an EDC. As I went up in age it became very uncomfortable in the recoil department. I switched to a Sig P365 XL X frame using 124 grain Federal HST's and find I have a very good combination of power and accuracy. The...

I've owned a TC Hawken in .50 Caliber since the 1980's and have taken 4 deer with it. That 370 grain chunk of lead certainly does drop deer with authority. You've started my itch again for wanting to take it out hunting.

She'll love that gun Jim. I carry the P365XL X model which has provisions for the 17 round magazine. Shoots great and is accurate as heck. I use a DeSantis OWB holster along with a 1791 Holster. Both hold the gun tight against your side.

My buddy's got a flock of 15 that are in the back yard. He's also got 30,000 acres of preserve behind him which harbors a lot of game. The turkeys spend a lot of their time on his back porch eating corn so I guess hunting for them wouldn't be a fair proposition.

I measure the OAL by seating a bullet in the magazine with a bit of space to spare. Then I push the round with the bolt to see what the fit is. If it won't chamber or chambers with difficulty (Rifling marks on bullet) I seat deeper until I find a comfortable spot and shoot from there. Remember...

I'm just the opposite. I've shot a ton of deer over the years with the Sierra 165 grain BTSP. I "don't" shoot for the shoulder as I got tired of throwing 1/4 of the deer away from bloodshot meat. If I have to walk a little bit to retreive the deer so be it but many never moved at all. I also...

I definitely have to agree with the lighter recoiling rifles. I used to love shooting my .338 Ultramag off the bench (with a Past recoil cushion) but now after six shots I get a headache. Thank god it doesn't move POI from year to year. My Remington 700 Titanium in 7-08 gets the most use as the...

Have a GREAT Birthday!!!!

Reminds me of the Christmas Story with Chevy Chase.

A number of years ago I believe Sierra did an extensive test on this issue. They came away with positive results in that nothing accuracy wise changed with tape on the muzzle.

that's a "WOW' photo. Very nice Guy!

Doc, I know exactly where you are coming from. I loved being in the mountains of Colorado and packing an Elk out. My hunting buddy for close to 40 years was a constant companion and always willing to help. But hitting the age of 80 and my buddy 83 does slow you down through no fault of your own...

I was also better at Trap Shooting. Skeet shooting reminded me of all the Ducks I've missed over the years;););)

Actually for the many years I've deer hunted my 30.06 and 165 Sierra Gamekings have taken the majority. Never had a problem with that bullet and the deer never travelled very far.
