    Lethal hit with no blood trail?

    I have seen it a number of times and it is more common than someone would think, particularly with the bullets that are designed to enter a short distance then completely fragment with no exit hole.

    M1 Thumb

    Been there done that. The college I went to was mandatory ROTC for first 2 years. You can imagine drill time with some guys who had never touched a rifle before let alone a M1.

    Particularly bitter irony...

    Oh boy - here we go again. If you can't do it then criticize the hell out of it and call it ethics. I've seen way too many guys (particularly in 40 years of late season hunts) that couldn't hit their azz with both hands at 100 yds let alone 1000. Maybe we shouldn't allow them to even buy a tag...

    Somewhat picky rifle, free float/bedding opinion

    Never seen a rifle that went shooting under an inch to 5" flyers without something having changed. Something has changed and I doubt it's the bedding. Have you checked all your action screws, scope mount screws etc. How much confidence do you have in your scope?

    Ammo question

    Here are a couple of things I would offer for consideration. - Know the twist in your rifle barrel and get weight of bullets that matches up with that twist. Forget about what you want to shoot unless that barrel was made for that weight of Bullet. - any time you change anything in a loaded...

    How rare are double-shovel caribou?

    That is quite the pic for your first post, and with your now in the background besides. Well done and welcome to LRH.

    Temperature sensitive powder

    I have shot and chronographed RL17 from 0F to 95F and have found it to gain/lose just under 1 fps for every degree F. So from 0-95F you're looking at a velocity spread close to 95 fps. This was shot out of an '06 with 168 Berger bullets at 3600 ft in elevation.

    140 or 160? Now accepting advice.

    Shortening the OAL or in other words seating the bullet deeper reduces the combustion space in the brass - thus increasing pressure upon ignition which results in increased velocity. The example velocity chart above is very typical although as mentioned it will vary based on powder, bullets...

    Elk quarter weights

    I have probably packed as many boned out elk as anyone in the last 40 plus years. There are always variables but I carry a spring scale and weigh each side before loading on a horse/mule to balance the load. Cows generally run in the 90-100 lbs per side on a horse for a total boned out weight in...

    Crazy Mountain Trail Proposal Scoping!

    That is your right - but quite frankly the all or nothing approach has got us no where for the last umpteen years. I hope this goes through and sets a precedent for many more access routs into other public lands also.

    Adjusting length

    This statement is 100% incorrect and is going to get somebody in trouble some day. Don't want to start a pizzing match so before you jump on me test it out for yourself. Take whatever rifle and load you use and run it through a reliable chronograph - then take 5 rounds of same reloads and...

    Reloading problem.

    Having loaded for many different calibers for many different people over a lot of years the most common cause of the situation mentioned above is not what most people think. I can't tell you how many shell holders I have had to turn down in a lathe because they are out of spec - way too thick...
