    Any luck?

    We'll yesterday was a learning day. Plan was to hike up and bag one but the girl(friend) wanted to help out for a bit and get a good hike in. Cool, she was prepared and had binos 8x. I normally bushwhack and set up but instead we hiked 1 mile further to an opening by the trail to look at the...

    Anybody shooting 300RUM?

    Great read indeed. I love these articles. I didn't read thoroughly since limited time but from my scanning I got this quote from it: "When we measured the sound level from the side, there was only a difference of less than 2 dB from the quietest brake to the loudest. But from behind the rifle...

    D16 Deer Hunting - Lead-free or not?

    Loosey goosey is correct for a reason- to fit all rifles chambers. So the standard to figure out factory rounds to use is to buy a few different boxes and see what your rifle likes then buy more of the same lot numbers. In regards to loading myself I don't go by manufacturers recs in seating. I...

    D16 Deer Hunting - Lead-free or not?

    I understand barnes recommendations. I am running into magazine fitment dictating my OAL due to copper being so long. I use barnes anyways but do you find ALL copper brands require jumps that much? Actually just checked my 168gr 308 tsx load and its off lands by .002" Will have to revisit seat...

    D16 Deer Hunting - Lead-free or not?

    Check out your bullet weight! Bought my kid a 243 and I have been playing around with it. The twist rate is 1:10 Factory load best was 80gr barnes ttsx, followed by winchester xp 95gr extreme point and federal power shok 85gr(?). 2" groups also. Reloading I tried 107gr nosler and keyholes showed...

    D16 Deer Hunting - Lead-free or not?

    Deerdon- Thanks for taking the time to explain the whole copper bullet performance. I've tried several experiments with them and could never get them to group tighter than my lead rounds. Ive tried several bullets in several rifles from 223 to 308. Most trials in the 308. Tried Hornady GMX...

    Last attempt of the season

    Well, I'm going to roll the dice with you on Friday. Luckily its an observed holiday at work so I'm off. With all the SCH'ers bagging bucks and d15 season coming to an end, the pressure on us to make it happen is high. Good luck cripple. Hope the buck makes a mistake and we make it perfect.

    Turkey Hunting Basics

    I dont turkey hunt so I dont have any recs but theres over 100 posts in this thread. Im sure its in here somewhere. The one recommendation that applies to all hunting is: boots on the ground. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Last attempt of the season

    I wouldn't give up on that place. You can drive a whole group of tank and trucks through the area and the deer will stay put. As long as nothing happens to one of them they will be fine in their habitat. I would be more concerned of hunting pressure (people getting off trail). Think about it-...

    Youth Weekend, First deer (Out of State)

    What a story. I cant imagine how amazing that accomplishment is, as a kid in front of his dad and grandpa. You can see proud in both father and son. Nice going gentlemen. Very happy for everyone. That deer and day will be remembered forever. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
