Do I need to wear camouflage?
I have not read through every post in this thread, so if this is a repeat I apologize. But I think Fred Bear said it best; “The best camouflage pattern is called, “Sit down and be quiet!” Your grandpa hunted deer in a red plaid coat, think about that for a second.” Modern day camo is relatively...- Wolfshead

Hunting Clothes and scent control
Understand how to play the wind. Understand how deer use the wind. I wash my clothes in Astko sports wash and maybe some dead down wind or scent killer gold. I am way more concerned with UV brighteners than I am scent reducing detergents, but if I can get some scent off my clothes then I feel... -
Centerfire rifles - your path
I wish I had the funds to afford more, but honestly I have now more than I use on a regular basis.

Wool hunting clothing
I am just the opposite of you. I started out with the new stuff. I agree it is very well made, and also very light. But for me it was not warm enough. I was always cold in it especially if I was sitting. I started to pick up some wool things and found that I was much warmer and more...- Wolfshead

Wool hunting clothing
I’ve been wearing Big Bills wool pants. My pair is five(?) years old, I wear them everyday hunting and they’re as good as new. I either wear gators with them or tucked into my lacrosse rubber boots.- Wolfshead

.308win 130gr ttsx ?
Yes 44.3 to 49.2 I believe. I’ve been there and the rifle is a 24” barrel with a 1-12 twist. I was hoping that someone here may have loaded Varget for loads in a 20” barrel with a 1-10 twist. I think I will include some background. I don’t have a chronograph nor do I have access to one. I use...- Wolfshead

This is my first post. Thank you for allowing me to join. I have a Tikka T3x compact .308 Win with a twenty inch barrel and a 1-10 twist. I’m looking for anyone who has experience loading this 130 grain TTSX using Varget. I only have 100 bullets and a limited amount of primers so working a load...- Wolfshead
