Guesses on Score?
This one scored in the 160s can't remember exact total...don't really care but I agree people over estimate the score most of the time. -
Recovered bullets
Barnes 139gr LRX 7mm Rem Mag. Recovered under skin in leg after going through opposite shoulder. Range was over 150yds but less than 300yds (snowing to hard for rangefinder)- Redman

.308 win bullet selection for new reloader
My theory on that is it expanded quickly slowing it down. Example I shot a whitetail with a .300 WSM Nosler AB 150gr at 45yds. Bullet mushroomed perfectly and was lodged in just under the skin on opposite side. I am not engineer but I have recovered many bullets over the years. It seems that...- Redman

Let’s talk about the 243win
My Kimber Hunter in .243 has killed a pile of whitetails and an antelope with 95gr Nosler BT. Never had to shoot one more than once and all of them died within sight. Since I have switched to unleaded I haven't developed a copper bullet load yet. Need to dust it off and put it back to work! -
Oh, the irony!
If the incoming administration is truly for the American working class then we need to stand strong together and remind them that is our land and not up for sale to the highest bidder. This is not about R & D. If OUR public land goes up on the auction block we are screwed. What most of these...- Redman

I will check today after work. I am thinking 2700 range but been messing with my 7mm Rem Mag with 139 LRX bullet so my FPS file in my brain has that pulled up.😆- Redman

A weird find while hunting
Little buggers like to take your game bags and favorite hunting gloves as well. I should write on here about my hunting buddy/second dad Dave. I call him the Pack Rat Slayer. Woke me up with a blast from his 12 ga about 2 a.m right out side the cabin window over one of his "rat slaying" episodes! -

.308 win bullet selection for new reloader
My load is 150gr Barnes TTSX 44gr Varget. Very accurate and has killed a pile of deer and 1 elk. Shot a few animals a a pretty good stretch for what some say a .308 can't do. Use it with confidence!- Redman

Cush, Redman, and CPO's elk trip....
Saturday we all just chilled around camp. We reflected beack on past hunts and remembered Pops, CPOs dad who's last hunt was in 2022. He passed the following spring. We talked about what we should or shouldn't do next year. Casey, Cush, and I set in the warm sun for awhile. Not sure what we...- Redman

Cush, Redman, and CPO's elk trip....
I woke up around 2A.M Friday with my guts rumbling! I ripped open the sleeping bag, dashed out the tent door, and sprinted to the outhouse. It was cold but sweat was dripping down my face as I barley made it to desecrate the commode....picture the scene in Dumb & Dumber after the spiking of...- Redman

Cush, Redman, and CPO's elk trip....
Wednesday night we had Green Chili for supper celebrated my elk and went to bed. Wednesday everyone went out and I slept in. When they got back to camp we hiked out and packed meat. CPO took a hind quarter, his son took a front, and I took a hind quarter and all the trim. We were exhausted...- Redman

Cush, Redman, and CPO's elk trip....
First couple days of season I was hunting my bear spots because according to Cush's Inreach we were going to get snow late Monday night to early Tuesday. Try as I might I couldn't turn up a bear...or any other big game animals. However had I had a .22, shotgun, archery gear, or even a sling...- Redman
