    .300 WSM for Pronghorn?

    No, I have both 168 and 180 grain loads already. As I have not hunted prongs before, I was trying to determine if a lighter load would be a better option than what I currently have available in the event I would have to shoot a .300 wsm instead of my go to 7mm-08.

    .300 WSM for Pronghorn?

    I just wanted to make sure it wasn’t overkill like it would be here in a lot of KY. And who knows, if I make a 130 gr. load I like I might use it here too.

    .300 WSM for Pronghorn?

    That is my biggest concern, not wasting meat. I didn’t know which would be better on antelope a faster lighter bullet or a heavier, slower bullet.

    .300 WSM for Pronghorn?

    Would a .300 WSM shooting a 130 gr. TTSX be too much for pronghorn? At this time I do have other options available but if my wife or son wanted to hunt as well, I would be using my elk rifle. I am new to everything pronghorn so please excuse my ignorance.

    Rifle Double Whammy

    I don’t think I would label her hands as small per se, just too much stock between her shoulder and the trigger keep her from a good mount on the gun in certain positions. The plan after everyone’s input is to get some sort of adjustable right hand stock to get the perfect length and cheek...

    Suppressor Experience

    Do you feel comfortable hunting without hearing protection with the Banish 30? I ordered the backcountry for my first can and was curious how a similar model performed in the field.

    WTB Howa 5-round magazine

    I have one as well if you still need it, and in the surprising amount of junk I own, I know exactly where it is.

    Next hunting rifle- caliber for a suppressed build?

    Second on this. There are also hidden costs like how the suppressor will attach and purchasing proper mounting hardware that works for your gun. Personal recommendation would be mid-range suppressor and tax stamp, thread the barrel of the .308 and try to upgrade your glass with anything left...

    Rifle Double Whammy

    Unfortunately she is not a fan of any AR platform.

    Rifle Double Whammy

    All right everyone, my wife is getting into shooting and hunting more, however she is having a hard time shooting consistently, a cause of much frustration for the both of us. I have determined that even my shortest stocked rifle is much too long for her frame. Normally this wouldn’t be a...

    NFA Wait Times

    Ordered a Banish Backcountry a week after they came out. HT got me to spend more money… again.

    Nosler Rifles

    I own a custom shop M48 in 35 Whelen that shoots lights out. Would definitely buy a second one if I could find it. The build on that one is heavy for my taste and that is the only reason it no longer goes out west with me.

    One gun/caliber to rule them all?

    35 Whelen definitely checks all the boxes here. It flat drops anything you point it at.

    Last minute Jitters

    Good luck East. Looks like you have yourself squared away. I’ll be a few days behind you, coming out of Bowling Green.

    Sleep Apnea and Hunting ?

    I got the Z2 a few months back with a different battery. Haven’t tried it on solar but has worked well on a few overnight trips I have used it on. Watch your elevation it’s only rated to 8000 ft. I’m sure it will work above that but might get squirrelly.

    7mm08 Seating Depth

    Both my Howas won’t chamber a 140 grain TTSX longer than 2.795” COAL. Shoots pretty well though, so I don’t complain. Still annoying to look at all the cartridges that fit in a Ruger American chamber I no longer own.

    Best Sandwich Ever

    You really can’t top Primanti’s, mainly because it’s already on the sandwich. Second favorite part of my trip to Pittsburgh.

    How Much Do You Practice?

    I am prepping for a hunt this fall in Colorado and I am wondering how much range time everyone puts in before their hunt. My goal is once per week five shots at 3-400 yard targets. Unfortunately in Kentucky it is too hot right now to try and get more shots in as barrel cool down time is 8-10...
