Awesome to see other lever gun enthusiasts. I have always loved lever guns but have always turned to bolt action for hunting. A few years ago I decided to grab a lever gun from the safe and take it out. I soon found hunting and being successful with a lever gun in a world full of technology...
The Mrs had that tag last year we put on over 1500 miles out there over the season looking for a buck that would break 80" she ended up taking an avg buck the last hour of the last day... . Id say you will have no problem killing a 74-76" goat 13-14" long. I didnt see any goats out there that...
Fishing The big horn is about impossible without a jet boat right now with the run off. Shell creek was blown out last week as well. Pizza and beer at the burlington place in Burlington is a must might bump into a rancher that will let you hunt too (assuming you have a 124 tag), The Arrow S has...
Meeteetse will be your best bet for lodging the motel there is set up to accommodate hunters. Not much for amenities in Meeteetse a motel, gas station, and bar/restaurant. there is a far amount of access in 118 and you should be able to find a camping spot easily enough. I have seen some nice...
No luck on the tag for me this year however my buddy drew it. we plan on taking a chopper in the last 2 weeks. my question for you guys that have done it do you ever see any deer in there?
My step dad was one of the lucky recipient of the area 3 type 2 tags. I am fairly familiar with the area but the pressure of a tag like this has me looking for any extra advice and insight I can get. We plan on focusing in the Pilot peak area for the start of our scouting but any other locations...
You obviously didn't finish reading the comment. After seeing the damage done by this gun It was sold the amount of meat ruined on larger game like elk was far greater than that of the 7mm. Don't tell me to take a step back when the Op is considering shots out to 1200 yards as well, and don't...
Pretty much everything shot with that edge had a gaping hole you could shove a soft ball through. Since my 7mm has been built I have watched 35+ critters hit the dirt with it the majority being high shoulder shots and I have yet to see a hole even close to what the 338 was doing. Im not saying...
300 RUM necked up to a .338. It has more powder capacity and has similar Ballistics to a 338 Lapua. The Edge can be built off a standard Magnum action. The Lapua can too but you will run into feeding issues and some argue its unsafe to build a Lapua on a Magnum action.
The Edge & Lapua are...
Thanks he is suppose to be on form within the next month. I tell my taxidermist to take his time and do it when he has time to be creative it is usually right after hunting season when all the hides are off being tanned.
Exactly.. and to be honest I bet most guys don't shoot there hunting rifles half that much but will be the first one to bash me for making a clean one shot kill at 1000+....
I usually dont on bucks and bulls but when crunch time comes and I havent tagged out and theres a big bull on the...
I didnt spend hours researching the exact muzzle velocities of your certain build a quick search on pretty much any ammo manufacturing website will give you a pretty close MV. In this case I just went off Gunwerks website for the ammo specs on the 2- .30's with 190s I could have ran the LRM off...
Unless hes planning on building a Warbird, a 30-378 will smoke the 300 RUM on FPS after all that seems to be what you guys that insist on shooting these canons are all about.
Lets elaborate on the subject of my .284 out performing the canons. First I will run it with relatively close bullets...
