    Seekins Rifles

    They have a couple Seekins at the Scheels here in town. I’ve looked at them a bunch but never asked to hold one. I think they are the PH2 model, not the Element. if I get a chance I’ll go check one out and give you my impression.

    Piebalds

    We saw one a couple of times this year out hunting mulies. My friend talked with a rancher later and he said that doe had been around for a couple of years. Pretty cool to see.

    Learning to Handle Recoil

    This helped me tremendously. I had a pretty serious flinch but after several hundred times dry firing in my hallway I have a lot more confidence and focus.

    Barnes TTSX

    My 30-06 hated them, my .243 shoots the 85gr. TTSX really well and my 7mm RM really likes the 139 LRX. I’ve never had a bang-flop with them but penetration and internal damage have been spectacular.

    Mule Deer Doe Off Tasting?

    Two years in a row now I've shot a mule deer from the same chunk of public land and the tenderloins of both of them tasted like sage brush. We just grind it all up and make burger out of it then make suer we only use it for food that we season fairly heavily. It also helps to add in some fatty...

    RL 23 Load Data

    Sorry, I didn't ever share results. My dad and I did a little bit of a work-up and settled on 65.8gr of RL 23, got 3200 FPS and right at or just under MOA, with a 26" barrel. I think I could really improve that, at that time I had not practiced shooting very much. This spring I got some...

    Hammers continue to impress

    JLS, is that 136 gr Hammer out of a 7mm? I've got a 7RM Browning Xbolt with a 9.5 twist, not sure the 143s will stabilize. I should just call and talk to them. I'm in the same boat as wilm1313, I've got a good load developed with a 139gr Barnes LRX (65.8gr RL 23, 3200 FPS, 26"). I've been...

    2019 Goals: What are you shooting for?

    I really would like to harvest a cow elk for the freezer. But I think the goal I’m most interested in is to harvest an antelope. I’ve never taken one...I had a bad experience in my childhood where I tried antelope that tasted terrible and it left a really bad impression. I drew a tag 9 years...

    Powder for 7mm mag

    The running of the bulls

    I lived in Spain for a couple of years, in the Canary Islands. They didn't ever have bullfights in the islands, the people there weren't fans of it. I watched a couple of bullfights on tv, its pretty brutal, especially if the bullfighter doesn't make the final kill cleanly. Its hard to say...
