    First Western Big Game Hunt where I am applying for tag/tags. Pronghorn and possibly mule deer.

    This is what I always do. Especially with the way gas is now, driving all that way seems kinda crazy. Separately, wllm, that's sick you drew up in AK. I expect we applied for some of the same ones. Got some SA on those if you're still in the intel gathering phase of things

    30-06 Ammo Setup for Elk

    You are set and a half. I killed my first elk in MT with the same bullet out of a .300 WSM; took about five steps and tipped over. If you're a "400 and in" kinda guy, like myself, you may consider looking at copper monos such as the Nosler E Tip or Barnes VOR TX. More consistent expansion, no...

    Pronghorn Facts

    Doesn't appear to be a lot of information on the differentiating characteristics between these floating around out there- anyone observed regional differences between Pronghorn populations?

    WY, Old(er) with some antelope points.

    For everyone's SA, point creep can be worse than one point. The unit I applied for in '21 took 3 points to draw as of the latest data. I applied with 5 and did not draw. Things getting weird out there right now.

    Custom Ammo Manufacturers

    Just wondering how guys' experiences have been using custom ammo manufacturers like Unknown Munitions, Pendleton ammo, etc. If anyone has input about things you liked, how your order process went, if you used their load development service, would love to hear it! Thanks in advance.

    Wax Paper Meat Wrap

    Bumping this with some semi longer term results- I did this same thing, but using wax paper instead of plastic as the inner layer, and it turned out great. Honestly, I've done 8 or 10 packs of meat I processed like this and they're better than the vacuum sealing setup I used to use as about a...

    What happens when you die?

    Yeah basically. Anyone know if making B&C book changes the value of a mount?

    WTT Winchester Model 70 Extreme Weather SS .308

    Considering trading my Winchester Extreme Weather SS in excellent condition. I am the only owner, and rifle has been broken in per Winchester's recommended procedure and meticulously cared for. Round count is under 200. This rifle also includes an installed Mcarbo trigger kit, which brings the...

    Diagnosing bullet seating issue (Frankford Arsenal Universal die making loud click when seating, inconsistent depth)

    OK calling myself out here- I've seen them but never heard of anyone using a universal seating die versus dies that are caliber specific. Would the reason for that just be to keep from buying a bunch of two die sets if you already have sizing/ neck tension dies of some kind, and just want one...

    .308 Copper Monos

    Great SA on this! I had heard the same thing. I'd love to try those 168s, actually- if anyone has a few extra laying around, shoot me a PM and I'd be happy to take them off your hands! Haven't seen them in stock at any stores I've been to recently.

    .308 Copper Monos

    That's exactly what I'm looking for. Evidently, Varget is listed as the most accurate powder in Hornady's loading manual and I miraculously managed to come across a few pounds of it recently, so hoping I can come up with a 1" load doing around that velocity.

    .308 Copper Monos

    Yep, always start there. Looking back at my reloading book, I had one good group and then one that was 3 inches. This is going to be specifically for Alaskan game, and 130s would be a little small for moose. 165s doing 2700, though, would be a different story. I've noticed this too. Think...

    .308 Copper Monos

    Check. Will see if I can find a Hornady loading manual around. Stability calculator says they should be fine with 1:10

    .308 Copper Monos

    What I tried initially. This rifle didn't seem to like the 150 grain TTSX much (2.5 MOA) and only liked Hammer hunters somewhat better (1.3 MOA) so I figured I'd try a projectile that it did well with using factory ammo. The new Hornady CX stuff seems to jump, in .308 cal, from 110 grains to 165...

    .308 Copper Monos

    Have a Howa 1500 in .308 Win that likes Hornady 165 grain GMX factory stuff pretty well, and planning to load up a few rounds to attempt to duplicate or improve this performance. Question is this- since a 165 grain copper (or "gilding," in this case) monolithic bullet takes up so much volume, is...

    I stole a gun today

    70 grain Hammer Hunter over 43.5 grains of H4350 .050" off the lands, with 1/4th of a turn of a Lee factory crimp die. That is an outrageously pretty rifle and there are a lot of dudes getting green with envy rn

    Hunting Gear Thats Punches Above its Pricepoint

    Unsure if anyone has said CVA Wolf. Stopped by a Walmart in February a few years ago to pick up a lightbulb for my truck and saw it on clearance for $100. It has since fired 3 rounds at deer and harvested 3 whitetail bucks over 120". Gotta be the best hundred bucks I've spent in the world of the...

    Scammer Alert- Muddyboots

    Possible. There are also bots that will copy usernames from other forums and make an account to steal the legitimate owner's credibility- I would guess it was something like this, as the other accounts with that handle write very differently than the individual who contacted me.
