    Pro-Hunter vs. Gameking

    Temperature stable powders

    ...depends... ...lots of factors involved including B.C. & Altitude Density, etc., but let's stick w/ temp. stability. Everyone wants things to be as consistent as possible, but some powders are more temp sensitive than others, change the Time of Flight & everything changes w/ it. That said...

    I don't like neck shots.

    ...the other half, or 2/3's is all the 'important stuff' is in the bottom 1/3 of the neck, especially if they're alerted & their mane's up, the spine, spinal cord, arteries, veins all run right along the bottom of the neck, the top 1/2 is just tough chewing, cords, & hair...

    25 Whelen with 75 gr Hornady Vmax!

    ...my experience w/ the 75gr. V-Max is they tend to turn pdawgs inside out, whereas the 87gr. TNT's & 90gr. BlitzKings tend to have "explosive" results. Good times, either way... :shock: :lol: :twisted: :mrgreen:

    7RM 100gr.

    ...I've been shooting the 100gr. Sierra HP's thru the 7 RM for years, 73.8grs. of IMR-4831 is max, I've been using 73.5grs. @ just under 3700fps. from a 26" barrel. Fun load for the occasional pdawg, porcupine, varmint, or rock that needs shot. Works really good for popping off grouse heads...

    WY mule deer?

    ...some good bucks up in the Bighorns, better access than a lot of other places, which means more hunters, if you can get in back of the ranches on the bottom, or up on the higher ridges on top you've got a good chance. Check the success ratios on the WYG&F website...

    High performance Clothing?

    ...Scotty, back in the '70's the Air Force put out a contract for new winter parkas, they all had coyote liners. The going price on coyotes was $75-110, beer & gas were 35-50 cents, you could live pretty good on a 1/2doz. coyotes a week...

    High performance Clothing?

    ...nothing beats merino wool for a base layer. Wool retains heat even when wet. Synthetics require body heat to move moisture, their wicking properties are mechanical not chemical... ...one of the best investments is a windproof Balaklava or neck gaiter, since your neck is like a large radiator...
