I was able to find Hornady 154 InterBond locally and bought what they had, 400. I was able to find a load running 3050fps out of my Tikka and shoots pretty good too 600 yards. Hoping to test them on elk next year.- RiverRatt

Nebraska Sandhill Trail Cam Pix
I like Bushnell E2 and Browning Strike Force but I only use lithium batteries, makes a huge difference. The primos proof 2 cameras work well but prefer the Bushnell and Browning.- RiverRatt

Nebraska Sandhill Trail Cam Pix
Ran couple cams on a piece of public I hunt in Nebraska. Here's what I got, still learning where the big deer are but figuring it out. I still have one there now but plan to set several more there during spring turkey hunt. I've gotten to where I enjoy running trail cameras more than...- RiverRatt

Hiding cameras
I hang my cameras over 10' and I don't use straps. I believe they can see the straps and the straps put off scent. Last camera set was near a big city and I got pictures of 3 different people one looks to look right at camera. I painted cameras with spray paint and no they don't void...- RiverRatt

Colorado 2nd Season Rifle
Had similar experience but we hiked everyday looking for elk. With fresh snow we cut fresh tracks and followed then to a herd of cows and several bulls. One shot was taken and should have harvested a bull yet a tree prevented a harvest. With all that said I am interested in the answers you get... -

Finding a load- ES, SD, speed and accuracy question(s)
I just did a Saterlee Ladder test with 150 ELDX, H4831SC, and Hornady brass. I am shooting a Remington 700 7mag and shot for a group at 100 yards. Using a Caldwell chronograph to record velocities I found a sweet spot around 3100fps. I have a friend who said he's seen 3100 to 3120fps for...- RiverRatt

Nebraska Whitetail Doe
Spent the first week of December chasing whitetail and mule deer with 2 tags in my pocket. It was a tough hunt and was able to fill my freezer with this big doe. Only saw a 3x4 mule deer and rather shoot a doe than a small buck. I still have till December 31st to fill my other tag but plan on...- RiverRatt
