    6.5 Grendel vs .243 win

    If you know of someone with a 6.5 Grendel that would let her try it out, that might be a good way to see if it would work for her. I do not feel she would be under gunned with a 6.5 Grendel, or a .223 with a good bullet and good shot placement, instead of a .243. I recall watching a video of a...

    SCOPE LEVEL?

    There's a YouTube video on the THLR.NO channel that looks into this very thing. After watching that and looking into the vestibular system I have come to two conclusions: 1. If I'm hunting, a level is not necessary for the ranges I limit myself to as long as I can trust in my vestibular sense...

    6.5 Grendel vs .243 win

    I have no experience with the .243 but I've been considering one or a 6 Creedmoor. I have buddies that use 6.5 Grendel on hogs and I think they'd be great for deer. To add to the list of options coleslaw mentioned, I'd recommend a .300 Ham'r from Wilson Combat. The rifles are expensive...

    Ranking 10 Common Bolt Action Hunting Rifles Under $750

    I have a Winchester XPR in .308 that's been very good to me. My dad took several hogs with it and I plan to take it elk hunting this year. The trigger is pretty good in stock form and is adjustable. I can hold a 1" group with cheap Winchester 150 grain soft points. The stock is not great for me...

    Winchester .350 Legend

    The .300 Savage is right on the heels of a .308 in speed and power. The better cartridge to compare the .350 Legend to is the .30-30. They're very similar in speed and power for the different weights of bullet. My dad got me to look into the .300 Ham'r Wilson Combat came out with. I liked the...

    2019 Brockel sausage party ;)

    I didn't grow up doing any kind of processing, pig or otherwise. My dad got a pig for us this year and a bunch of books on butchering. I stumbled my way through it well enough. I still have a long way to go in learning about making bacon, ham, sausages, etc. My boss wanted the trotters but he...

    Bullet Selection, 338-06

    The more I read about the .338-06 the more I want one. But I also have a hankering for a .338 Federal, so I guess that's a natural progression.

    243 BC

    Ballistic coefficient is a mathematical formula that uses information from a bullet such as mass, diameter, and coefficient form(Read shape: G1, G7, etc). What it gives you is a measurement of how well a bullet can overcome air resistance in flight. Wikipedia has a great entry that gives you all...

    Reccomended rifle for shooting out to 1000 yards

    If you're only looking to hit targets at 1000 look at something in 6mm. 6 Creedmoor, 6x47 Lapua, 6XC, etc. If you look into what shooters in the Precision Rifle Series run it's overwhelmingly 6mm. They are low recoiling and shoot as flat as a 300 Win Mag with the modern high BC bullets we have...

    Camera Tripod

    Something like that might work well for you. It appears to be very lightweight and versatile, being able to use it as a rifle rest, tripod, bipod, or a monopod. And the price is such that if you used it and decided you needed something else you're not out much.

    Wild game consumed in your home

    I love eating wild game! I brought home two doe last season. Unfortunately, despite a successful hog hunt, we didn't bring any of that meat home(Old stinky boars). The downside of all of this is, other than my three year old that doesn't know any different, the rest of the women of the house...

    Camera Tripod

    Sirui was high on my list of candidates. In the end I decided a bowl top was what I wanted.

    Camera Tripod

    I don't have much experience with tripods. But I found myself in the market for one recently. I had some requirements: It had to be at least 60" tall at max height, it had to be able to handle a good bit of weight(over 10 lbs), as lightweight as I could find given the first two requirements, and...

    Am I being stupid?

    Where I live you can tag up to six deer in a season. No more than two can be antlerled. That leaves you tags for four antlerless. If you harvest two antlerless during muzzleloader or gun one of them MUST be taken from one of three specified zones on the west side of the state. Also if you do not...

    243 BC

    With your twist rate in mind, a lot of the higher BC offerings might likely be under stabilized. Things like Hornady's Precision Hunter with the 90 grain ELD-X and Sierra's 90 grain GameChanger load are going to be in the low to marginal stability factor. Federal has a couple of promising...

    Extra Stupid Window Stickers

    My last pickup had "Camo Princess" emblazoned across the back glass before I purchase it. I removed it immediately upon getting the title signed.

    2019 Controlled Hunts

    Thank you Preston. It's a pretty special opportunity for me. I started hunting later in my life than a lot of folks likely have. At 31 I've only been hunting for about 6 years. The first 4 being a yearly hog hunt my father-in-law got me started on. Last year was my first time to go deer hunting...

    2019 Controlled Hunts

    This was my first year to apply and I drew for a cow elk in the Wichita Mountain NWR.
