    Hornady CX 120's (6.5 mm)

    Not sure if anyone else has tried these, but I'm getting the best groups of my life with 120 CX's out of a factory Savage 6.5 CM. Three trips to the range with 5-10 shot groups averaging 0.6" Anyone else loading this bullet or any other CX's? I'm trying 150's from my .308 now. Working up...

    Speed vs bloodshot

    Those are studs alright. Irrigated ag sure helps grow 'em big! I shot the largest deer of my life last November - an estimated 300 lb. muley in SE Colorado. Got 90# of boneless meat off him. So if you guys are taking 400 lb. deer, then that stands to reason. My "1/4" comment came from...

    Speed vs bloodshot

    Snopes has got nothing on you bro! Look at you go! BTW, a boneless meat yield of 129 lbs. equates to a live weight of about 400 lbs. Where you killing 400 lb. deer? Inquiring minds want to know.

    Speed vs bloodshot

    That seems like a silly question. 1/4 is based on what I've seen if I put a cup and core through the shoulders. Lots and lots of bloodshot meat and bone fragments everywhere. I've seen complete shoulders turned to bloodshot hamburgers and if you've been around deer hunting very much, you have...

    CLOSED

    I have one unopened box of 143-grain Hornady ELD-X in 6.5mm and 87 Midway factory seconds of the same. My barrel likes 120's so these are up for grabs. Will be combined with some TTSX's and relisted. thanks

    Kodiak tent, is it worth it?

    I'd agree with this if you plan to have more than one person with you. My 10x10 is perfect for two cots and a kitchen, but a third would be challenging.

    Kodiak tent, is it worth it?

    You won't regret it. I've hunted solo the past several years, and my 10x10 is like a palace in the woods. Easy, comfortable, warm and it all fits inside my large igloo cooler so no wasted space. I'd never trade it for a wall tent and wood stove.

    I have a 3-9x40 Redfield Revolution for sale. Only 4 mo. old and not a mark on it. Box and all. PM me if you want it.

    Kodiak tent, is it worth it?

    The first few times I set up my 10x10, I was honestly shocked at how simple it was for just one person. I was not expecting that.

    Kodiak tent, is it worth it?

    Almost exactly my experience, except that I spend the last minutes of each day reading a chapter of whatever book I'm working on. I do the same with the heater. Off when I get in the sack and reachable so I can turn it on when I wake. Like you said, even if the lower 1/3 of the tent is...

    We all leave our houses on big adventure. Eventually we come home.

    Home Sweet Texas Draw

    I have none of that "luck" of which you speak. LOL Didn't get drawn for mule deer again this year. However they did draw me for two whitetail hunts AT THE SAME TIME... :rolleyes: Guaranteeing I'll zero out points in both categories but only be able to hunt one area. That's just great...

    Hunting season preparations, what did you do today?

    Told my staff today that they had 3 more days to get what they needed from me. The "oh sh*t" looks on several faces were priceless. :D

    If you could go back to age 25

    At 25, I had been married for 5 years and had a 3 year old and 1 year old. I was 4 years into my post-college career (that I'm still in) and working my butt off. Would I change anything? Maybe. I would have made sure we spent more time out West. But that's nitpicking. I've been married to...

    7mm-08: Personal Experience on Elk & Deer

    30-40 ft. lbs.? Do you mean inch-pounds?

    Federal B.O.R.LOCK ammunition

    yes. I usually clean it after about 10 shots, but rarely do I shoot more than that at a single range session anyway. So it's part of my cleaning process. But it's easy enough to do right there on the shooting bench too.

    Federal B.O.R.LOCK ammunition

    I know you didn't ask me, but I use a small drill bit with my fingers.

    7mm-08: Personal Experience on Elk & Deer

    Yea, all of them. My Tikka T3 7mm-08 was an absolute tack driver with whatever I fed it. I still have a target on my wall that I shot at 400 yards in Colorado. Three shot group measures under 2".

    7mm-08: Personal Experience on Elk & Deer

    I haven't used my 7mm-08's on elk, but IMO it's the best deer caliber ever designed.
