Just moved into a new place out of the city in May. I wish I could say I hiked 16 miles to get these photos, but they are off the front deck.

Colorado Fall 2021 was one of the best I've experienced - already looking forward to Fall 2022.

What a couple weeks of nothing but elk.

It's been a long time since I've had to hunt this hard to put food in the freezer. It's been a long hunting season so far with both my wife and son drawing archery elk / deer tags to start with. Their determination and persistence impressed me, as they hunted hard all of September. With my son...

I finally made it back to the range today with a combo I could get on the paper. I posted a few weeks ago, about concerns of some Hornady bullets that were tarnished / corroded, but I ran them through the tumbler, and they are all shine new. This is an early 70's Remington 700 that has always...

I've got the itch again Gents, and dusted off a lot of my RCBS components. This will be the first year my kid is old enough to hunt here in CO, and want him to have a lot of trigger time before the season is here. We're covered on the big game calibers, but thought it would be great to pull out...

So many know the archery world has taken over my family the last few years. A lot can happen in that amount of time I've come to realize tonight, and almost afraid to admit this. I probably haven't fired 50 rounds total in the last three years. To make matters worse, I wasn't really happy with...

Hello Again - I'm not doing a good job of keeping in contact here since the archery has taken over the family. Last weekend was my first chance to hunt out of a tree stand for whitetail. Wish they all went this way, as it didn't take much over 30 min after daylight to be...

Good evening - I've attempted to call Hodgdon several times and have always been put on extended hold until the music times out and hangs up. I want to make sure I'm reading the reduced recoil load instructions correct with H4895 & the 60% rule. Their data sheet they show on their site...

Ok - I just picked up the new Berger loadinng manual, and have questions. I understand there will always be slight discrepancies from one mfg to another, but this one seems excessively wide. I'm looking at the 115 VLD's Berger coal = 3.170 stated Nosler #6 = 3.250 stated. ( yes I'll have #7...

I'm so out of touch ! I see Nosler has introduced brass for the .17 Rem as well as a 20gr Varmageddon bullet :grin: What's the skinny on these bullets? I have a Rem 700 BDL ( good old style ) .17 in the safe that never gets shot. Great little gun, but past experience using it on coyotes...

It's been a day or two since I've posted anything on here - have been lurking here and there thinking I really need to pull a rifle out of the safe and go shoot. Majority of my time is now spent at the archery shop with the family and throwing a couple hundred sticks a week. Long and short, My...

I really need to start paying attention - missing out on new sections going up when I'm not around. Anyway - 130gr AccuBond recovered from a cow elk @ around 300yds.

I've been on the fence of trading or getting rid of my Rem 700 VTR in .223 since I've not seen the results that I would like. One of the biggest reasons I purchased the VTR was because of the 1:9 twist in a bolt action rifle - hopefully would allow me to shoot the 70gr VLD's..... Well, after...

By chance does anyone know if the camo stock used on the Rem 700 7RUM in the RMEF rifle was anything special, or just the standard plastic fantastic std stock ?

Has anyone had dealings with Zeiss Customer Serivce ? I had purchased a 6.5 x 20 with their varmint reticle say around June or so. Decision was made due to their $150.00 rebate at the time, and I really like their reticle. This currently sits atop my .300RUM. With that said, I have yet to...

I have to admit that I'm somewhat lucky in the fact that my Wife doesn't mind hunting on occasion. She'd probably enjoy it more if we ever went in decent weather, rather than this late season miserable cold stuff. I'm allowed to generally dork around ( as she says ) most of the normal seasons...

Well - I'm disappointed to somewhat say this years season has been a rough one. I drew this elk tag actaully as a third choice, so it didn't take any of my points etc. I knew going into it, this would be a gamble due to the high country and snow issue. ( Still a great excuse to get out of...

So this goes against one of *my* hunting / outdoor morals, but now found myself crossing the line because of this forum. The have been all kinds of advancements in the hunting world recently. Range finders, BDC reticles and the list goes on. I've always been anti-cell phone when out hunting...

Good Evening - I'm curious if there is an accurate way to measure primer pockets with a set of calipers ? What should the diameter of the hole be ? or the press fit between the case and the primer ? (Sorry - speaking of large primers here )
