I’ve got to agree with you. The 6.5 Creedmoor is nothing magic. The 6.5x55 Swede is over 100 years old, they just loaded the powders down a bit for the guns of the time. The .260 Remington has slightly more powder capacity than the Creedmoor. And all of the older bullets in pretty much every...

I reload and without fail the most accurate bullets in virtually every rifle caliber I have tested are Barnes TXS or TTSX (polymer tipped). Polymer tips do nothing for accuracy they just help expansion at slightly lower speeds. The factory loads too although they are loaded rather hot. I also...

Don’t ignore the 7mm-08...it has more energy than the 6.5s and is very well established nationally. If fact it has more energy retained at 400 yards than its parent .308 140 grain vs 150 grain. And it’s a known pussycat for lack of recoil. Barnes also makes a factory 120 grain load in copper...

I just got my first CDS in a VX-6. I’ll be mounting it on a Sako .270. Very interested to hear your results Frank

The best deal going by far right now are discontinued Zeiss HD5s at 3x15x42 which can be had on amazon for 699! They were $1100 scopes. The have the RZ 800 reticle which matches up very precisely to the Zeiss computer app which has every factor load in it. And it’s customizable for hand loads...

I think one of the worst eating ducks are gadwall, I’d rank them below spoonie. Not sure why, they’re such good looking birds and one of the most plentiful big ducks

Looks like lots and lots of teal

Beatutiful photos!

Not a great year for quail. My opener I flushed 1 cover with 3 birds, missed one shot and that was it. Scary low numbers

They’re a little stiff in the soles for a while, but they’re the best boots going once their broken in. I own a couple pairs and highly recommend them. Mountain guides and a pair of desert guides...

They hunt in the daytime too, windy days especially

The woods are dark and full of terrors...Happy Halloween

Don’t forget Federal Premium Trophy Copper. It is 10$ cheaper than Barnes, almost always has better ballistic coefficients and is usually just as accurate . I’d use the 165 for a .308. Buy a box from the price gouging So Cal retail store. If you like it, then buy several online and have shipped...

Can I ask why you’re selling the Weatherby? I’ve been intrigued by the backcountry but haven’t run into anyone who owns one yet Frank

limit on Saturday and Monday

Very nice Steve

I’m pretty darn recoil sensitive and even the thought of a 300RUM makes me flinch. Proper stock fit can do wonders for recoil management though. Investigate a McMillian Hunter drop in stock for the rifle. I’ve put a few of them on standard rifles and they help the recoil and both have made the...

It certainly is on at 4500 feet. I saw full blown rutting activity 2 nights this week including two smaller forks fighting and then being run off by a bigger fork, he had that doe in the trees 2 minutes later. I watched that whole melee unfold for 2 hours. Saw another fork mauling a pack of does...

I saw a pretty nice buck this morning while I was striking out on quail....

Thanks. If they’re trying to cut through to Dyche it doesn’t help much. That might be why they came back the same way within a couple hours. It’s jungle thick back there and you’d need a machete. God forbid you’re allergic to poison oak. Staying on that main path from 6, although long, is the...
