    First Test With Hammers.

    Typo in my first post. I am shooting the Shock Hammers, not the Hunters. I don’t shoot at anything over 400 yards and can’t get to a range over 500. My shorter shotting makes me think I should save an additional trip to the range an hour away and go with the 69 to 70 range. But my curiosity...

    First Test With Hammers.

    Ok. I checked for pressure signs as I went and didn’t have any. I only loaded up to 70.5 because Hodgdon had that listed as max for that powder. But they didn’t have load data for copper bullets and I know you can go a little higher. I saw Steve’s post and talked to him on the phone actually. I...

    First Test With Hammers.

    Did my first load test with Hammer bullets and all I have to say is wow. Did the 10 shot charge ladder and I am very pleased with how they grouped even at different charge weights. Also shot 4 fouling rounds to start at the same charge weight and they were less than MOA. I am fairly new to...

    Browning X Bolt or Winchester Featherweight?

    I don’t have experience with the Winchester but I do own a X-bolt HCS in .300wm and love the thing. Already planning to buy a second one as a base for a custom deer rifle.

    School Me On Chains

    Wow. Wasn’t expecting so much help so fast. Thanks everyone. I don’t have a wench but it’s on the list. Probably going to wait until next year for that. I don’t have wheel spacers but my wheels are offset a little more than stock, but not too much. Any more opinions on v-bar vs. off highway?

    School Me On Chains

    Trying get my truck more prepared to hunt deeper spots this year. I want to get chains just in case of unexpected weather. I live in CO and only hunt CO but being form the south originally I don’t know anything about chains. Figure I’d get some for all 4 tires but I know some trucks can only do...

    Could you tell us about the other one? I’m looking for another x-bolt but don’t need a 7mm-mag.What was wrong with it?

    Should CO Full Limited for Elk ?

    I’m a CO resident and agree with most of these points. Our system needs change. But as someone whose doesn’t have the money, time off work, or permission from home to hunt outside of my home state I disagree about not gaining points while hunting OTC. At least for for residents. That would mean...

    Advice for Hammers in 300wm

    Well @mtmuley talked me into ordering my first box of Hammers. Gotta work up a load for my 300wm. I haven‘t found the perfect load for it yet and with the shortage going on I want to work up a load out of components that can be easily found now and therefore found during future shortages. So...

    Leupold BX-5 vs Vortex Razor HD Binoculars?

    I just got Bx-5s in the 10x42 before the hunting season and love them. I was considering the Mavens as well but didn’t get a chance to look through them to compare. Contact @schmalts and he’ll hook you up. I bought the Leupolds cause he gave me a price cheaper than the Mavens. Welcome. Also...

    Off Season Upgrades and Tinkerings...

    :unsure: You’ve given me something to think about. I‘ve got about 60 e-tips left and have always been a Nosler guy. I really want to make them work. But the little testing I did was so so. And I’ve been reading all the great things people are saying about the Hammers. I’ve got a new powder to...

    Off Season Upgrades and Tinkerings...

    Before Covid I bought a brand new VX-5HD for my .300wm. Wanted to develop a new non lead load before ordering my custom CDS. Then Covid hit and between the shut down and then the shortage of supplies I was unable to get a good load made. Now the scope is over a year old and I don’t have a load...

    Forum donations

    I would be ok with a yearly charge. The adds would have to reflect that though. If the fee was low then the adds as they are would be fine. But if the fee gets to high I would expect less adds. I think monthly would be to cumbersome. Also just make posting part of the fee and still let non...

    Seek Outside Eolus thoughts

    I too am interested in this thread. I have to get a new tent this year and I’m set on getting either the Eolus or the LBO with vestibule. But I am going back and forth like crazy. Phaseolus, how would you feel about using the Eolus in some unexpected snow? Mine will be used for both Colorado...

    In the market for a range finder.

    I have a Sig and love it. But if it’s out of production that doesn’t help much. I’m not much of a Vortex guy but they extend their lifetime warranty to the rangefinders unlike some brands so you’ll never have to buy one again which is nice. Also I just got an email from Maven two days ago and...

    Sell Me on What My Next Tent Should Be

    I’m sure you already bought it but I will say to anyone else looking to never buy a Tarp Tent. I bought one last year and I will say the quality seemed good, but it was the worst customer service I ever had with any company in my life. I’ll save the long story but check post #84 here...

    Water Heater replacement Ford vs Chevy on brands?

    I just installed an A.O. Smith in my house my self last month. Can’t speak to longevity as I had some other terrible brand in there before. But the quality seems nice and the price was good. I sprung for the higher tier Signature Premium, it’s low Nox and has a 12 year warranty. It was only 25%...
