Zeroing
If you run ballistics programs on most modern cartidges, you'll find that zeroing a rifle at 100 yards with a 3 inch high point of impact with give you a 10 inch point blank range to about 325 yards. That should be good enough for most big game hunting in the west if you plan on shooting from...- danr55

Stiff Chambering 308
Were you using new brass or reloading brass fired through another rifle? If it's once or twice fired brass, the first time it was fired will set the shoulder. If the chamber is just a couple of thousandths deeper than the new rifle, they could both be in spec, but you get what you're seeing...- danr55

Felt recoil
THere is a formula for calculating free recoil. It's made up of two major components. Impact force/weight and imapct velocity. THat is why it is expressed in terms of ft. lbs. seconds. you can find it on the internet.. E_{tgu} = 0.5 \cdot [\tfrac {(m_p \cdot v_p) + (m_c \cdot v_c)} { 1000... -

binocular upgrade
Several years ago I bought a pair of used Leica 10X42 Ultravid. I have always had Nikon or Steiner or Luepold before that. I had to skrimp and save to get them, but I've never once regreted it. All of the mid range priced glass is pretty much the same. Once to get to the premium end of the... -

When is 'old' too old?
I fully intend to kill my next elk (this year) within 60 days of my 70th birthday. Age is relative. If you really want to do something, you will unless your body won't support it. When my body won't support tramping around the hills, I will sit in camp and cook for the guys who can still... -

AZ Unit 12A & 12B Archery
If you are looking for a monster, try the area about the burn on the west side up high. There and the ridge above Big Springs to the southwest. Both hold a few really big deer. The east side burn area is a tough hunt. Good luck. -

.223 rifle advice
I'm not going to do the research for you, but I suggest you check the state you plan to hunt before you go looking for deer with a .223. Your call.... just don't get caught in Arizona or Colorado or any one of several others I can think of off the top of my head. -

.223 rifle advice
I won't swear to it, but I believe if you look closely, you'll find that .228 is the minimum caliber in most states for deer hunting. That being said, there are a raft of soft recoiling calibers to choose from. 257 Robert, 250 savage, 6.5X55 are the first ones that come to mind. Any one of... -

Barrel break in?
Sakos all have hammer forged barrels. No lapping or excessive cleaning required. Clean the barrel after the first 20 rounds and then shoot it until it starts moving the point of impact. Note the total number of rounds fired and reduce that by 20% and that becomes your regular cleaning... -
