Nosler Solid Base
Pretty good looking jacket profile. “Solid base” made me think there’d be more copper before the lead starts but looks like it would perform well at various impact velocities.- TX Trophy Hunter

Colorado Unit 30
I have some advice for anyone wanting to hunt deer in that unit. When I was in high school I was still-hunting mule deer in a late archery hunt with my friend Kyle, and we started hearing hoof beats. I looked over at him and whispered “elk” and he nodded back at me. The noise was getting louder...- TX Trophy Hunter

Ford guys - 5.0 or 3.5 eco boost?
I have a 2011 5.0 with the 6 speed and love it. It does get confused about what gear it wands to be in climbing hills but you can easily get past that by manually selecting the gear or using tow/haul. I’ve seen enough turbochargers eat the dirt on 6.7 powestrokes at work that I don’t trust...- TX Trophy Hunter

Dealing with lead cow elk?
I shot the lead cow on my last archery hunt and that was the toughest meat I’ve ever experienced by a long shot. Old hag must’ve been 15 years old. My point is even if you tag the lead cow she’ll find a way to ruin your hunt!- TX Trophy Hunter

250 Barnes tez
My wife killed a bull a couple years ago at 100 yards broadside, through both lungs, bullet stopped in the far hide fully expanded like advertised. Didn’t hit the shoulder so not sure how that would work out but I would try to miss it. 100 grains 777. I wanted to use 290 grains for that hunt but...- TX Trophy Hunter

Blisters
Blisters are a result of skin rubbing against something. Cheap socks can cause your feet to hold more moisture, making your skin softer and more susceptible to blisters, but will not cause blisters. Taping your feet transfers the friction from your skin to the tape, but does not change the fact...- TX Trophy Hunter

Meopta warranty experience
It’s a controversial topic but Lead Sleds may cause damage to rifle scope components. With 338 level recoil seems like a possible explanation.- TX Trophy Hunter

Anyone else been kicked off rocks lied?
I honestly think every forum does more harm than good. There is some good discussion and helpful information out there, but there are also way too many internet ecologists that spew false information. Also, it’s creating way too many overconfident marksmen who have good enough equipment to...- TX Trophy Hunter

Ruger M77 Mark II 30-338
Its a 338 win mag necked down to .30 caliber. Before the 300 win mag, there was the 264 and 338 win mags, which share the same basic case design. Winchester announced the 300 win mag would be coming soon, and some rifle makers jumped the gun and created rifles chambered in what a 300 wm would be...- TX Trophy Hunter

It’s basically another version of this, but the people in charge don’t seem to be regarded as highly as Randy. I don’t really pay attention to what the famous hunting crowd does but I’m sure someone here can fill you in.- TX Trophy Hunter
