I have pretty much used a 200 yard zero for almost all my rifles over the years (and as a hunter first, I still prefer a SFP scope on my hunting rifles), except the levers that are short range cartridges anyways, such as my 375 Win (100 yard zero), and BLR in 358 Win (150 yard zero).
Depending...
Have heard a number of stories over the years of mountain goats showing up on people's properties or seen in surprising places, many miles from the nearest mountains we have in the region where mountain goats normally reside. Not overly common, but frequent enough over the decades to make it...
Thanks for the responses so far! Keep them coming. (y)
I forget to mention in opening post that I do verify my POI on the lower BDC points of both my B&C and TDS reticles, with each rifle that has a scope scope with such, out to 400 and 500 yards, depending on which range I am at and the...
An interesting topic of conversation has started in another thread, and I thought I would ask my question here instead, to respect the OPs original thread there...
For those who dial and shoot, or those who have holdover BDC type reticles (B&C, TDS, BRH, etc.), what are the advantages to you in...
That's nice, as I hate all the junk emails from many places that overloads our inboxes!
Sounds like a company that understands their customers, and doesn't use high pressure sales tactics.
Having been in sales for many years, I hated this practice used by many retailers. They can be way more...

Update: I have finally been able to get some HSM 358 Win 225 gr SGK ammo coming!
It has produced 3 shot groups of 0.557"and 0.642" on two different occasions at warm and cooler temperatures, with velocity averages of of 2405 and 2411 fps respectively, and SD's of 8.4 and 11.4 respectively...
I am looking forward to seeing how the Barnes factory ammo with the TGK works in my 6.5 PRC (145 gr)and 7mm PRC (180 gr).
Also, how do you like the Petersen brass?
Who has used both?
And which do you prefer?
And why?
I have acquired some Petersen brass for my 25 Creedmoor rifle that is currently at the gunsmith.
And I am looking at some Petersen brass for sale for the 7mm PRC, which I have only shot factory ammo to date, but still need some dies for to be...
Haven't caught Kokanee since I was a little kid...stocked in lakes in the BC interior...not many here in the northeast, but they were stocked in a few lakes once (only learned about this a couple of years ago)...just haven't fished them...yet
Noticed an ad online here north of the border for a couple of boxes of Hdy 348 200 gr FP's yesterday...almost grabbed then just because...but at $120/box...
Another guy has 30 brass and wants $100 for them...or $150/50...
What the heck...may just be the reason I need to keep watching for a High...
Cool in you establishing your levers only stand!
More new shooters and hunters should be introduced to the sport using levers!
Teaches them how to use open sights (and/or scopes with QD rings), be patient for better shot angles within reasonable distances with the milder cartridges, and when...
Can't wait until I am recovered and go out to hunt grouse with NIB Rem 870 Wingmaster in 28 ga! And the new-to-me CZ Bobwhite G2 in 28 ga!
So for now I get live vicariously through all of you sharing your adventures here! 😎
My Mom and her husband went out yesterday and she managed a double on...
