    Barrel twist

    I think a faster twist , causes more aerodynamic jump as the spinning bullet climbs a cross wind . the cross wind being from 3 o'clock to 9 o'clock , on right hand twist BBL's . just what I've observed . really nothing to be concerned with at normal hunting distances . just putting it...

    2026 Antlerless Elk

    try slightly pushing the plastic tip to the side on some of these bullets . years back I had accubonds in 7mm , that the plastic tips were breaking off . maybe bad plastic tips , or something that wasn't compatible , maybe in the wash , was affecting some of them . some of these tips were...

    PA elk drawing

    early on , before I started applying , I heard a game warden accompanied the hunter , and pointed out the one to shoot , about like a cull hunt . I'm not sure if that's true , just what I've heard . the only thing I know of now , is you have to hunt in the area the tag is for . if you use a...

    Squib Load

    I did this at a state bullseye match . it's easy to load a squib . I use a progressive for pistol ammo . I was double checking the powder weight . I'd dump powder in a case then take that case out of the press and weigh it on my scale . I "THINK" I put the case back in the press ...

    PA elk drawing

    I'm not sure if any of you guys apply for the PA Elk hunting license draw . the draw system for the PA elk tags has been getting scrutinized . I've felt a few times it's not 100% legitimate , but then again , how would I know . I'd have to look , but I think I have 23 preference points...

    Whitetail bullet options

    the partition will penetrate that , for sure . I'm a shoot them tight behind the shoulder guy . the ballistic tip or partition works well for me . a lot depends on your velocity . higher velocity cartridges can benefit from a more robust bullet . I see your using a 308 , or a 30.06 ...
