    I was able to find Hornady 154 InterBond locally and bought what they had, 400. I was able to find a load running 3050fps out of my Tikka and shoots pretty good too 600 yards. Hoping to test them on elk next year.

    Nebraska Sandhill Trail Cam Pix

    I like Bushnell E2 and Browning Strike Force but I only use lithium batteries, makes a huge difference. The primos proof 2 cameras work well but prefer the Bushnell and Browning.

    Nebraska Sandhill Trail Cam Pix

    Ran couple cams on a piece of public I hunt in Nebraska. Here's what I got, still learning where the big deer are but figuring it out. I still have one there now but plan to set several more there during spring turkey hunt. I've gotten to where I enjoy running trail cameras more than...

    Hiding cameras

    I hang my cameras over 10' and I don't use straps. I believe they can see the straps and the straps put off scent. Last camera set was near a big city and I got pictures of 3 different people one looks to look right at camera. I painted cameras with spray paint and no they don't void...

    Colorado 2nd Season Rifle

    Had similar experience but we hiked everyday looking for elk. With fresh snow we cut fresh tracks and followed then to a herd of cows and several bulls. One shot was taken and should have harvested a bull yet a tree prevented a harvest. With all that said I am interested in the answers you get...

    Colorado Elk Hunting

    Colorado Elk Hunting

    Thanks guys, just been overwhelmed with 2020 and this being my bucket list hunt I'm excited. I'd love to bring one home but I'm realistic and do understand it's hunting. I need to unwind and just relax. I love waking and already have couple spots picked out 4 to 5 miles back into this property...

    Finding a load- ES, SD, speed and accuracy question(s)

    I just did a Saterlee Ladder test with 150 ELDX, H4831SC, and Hornady brass. I am shooting a Remington 700 7mag and shot for a group at 100 yards. Using a Caldwell chronograph to record velocities I found a sweet spot around 3100fps. I have a friend who said he's seen 3100 to 3120fps for...

    Nebraska Whitetail Doe

    Spent the first week of December chasing whitetail and mule deer with 2 tags in my pocket. It was a tough hunt and was able to fill my freezer with this big doe. Only saw a 3x4 mule deer and rather shoot a doe than a small buck. I still have till December 31st to fill my other tag but plan on...

    Reloading TC Venture 7mag

    Finally got out to shoot today. With it being 7° it was tough to shoot when its this cold. After shooting today I felt I need a better rest and plan on getting shooting bags. With that said here's my best groups with the 150 ELD-X bullets out of my TC Venture 7mag.

    Reloading TC Venture 7mag

    Quick update, I used vinyl concrete mix to strengthen the forearm then I bedded the barrel in the barrel channel. I added thick packaging tape to barrel to help with gap. Now I need to bed the action, recoil lug, and 1" forward from recoil lug and ill be set. I should have a gap of 3...

    Reloading TC Venture 7mag

    Yeah I'm betting your right should be 3.079" ill check when I get home from work. After I thought about the ladder test I decided I needed too stiffen up the forearm and bed the action first. So I'm in the process of accurizing the stock before I shoot my reloads.
