    Norma 6.5 PRC 143gr Bondstrike

    I have not used the 143gr. I have used the 180gr in 300 RUM on deer and a moose. It did it's job on the moose very well, and that was at a muzzle velocity of 3300+ fps. Assuming the same construction, I would be comfortable using the 143 for elk. Bullet placement matters most. If you look in...

    General Fitness Preparation vs CrossFit

    I signed up for Daily burn and did most of their KB routines. I liked the 10 to 30min workouts.

    General Fitness Preparation vs CrossFit

    6 months of Kettlebells, plus eating really clean, and rucking 6 to 10 miles a week for the immediate 2 months before my hunt helped me lose 35lbs last year and prep for my elk hunt. I went from the east coast to 9K ft elevation, kept up with the guide, and was quite happy with my physical...

    Investment fund for the grandkids???

    We have our kids inheritance funds from their birth family in Market Linked CD's. FDI C insured, so they can't lose the principal, and the yearly interest rate earned has been 8% to 12%. For a no risk investment, they have been fantastic!

    $3K what 7mm PRC are you buying?

    My Dad's PH1 is awesome. Well balanced, easy to carry rifle. If I buy a 7PRC I plan on it being a Seekins PH2.

    300 RUM loading results today

    Never have been able to find enough 200 AB's to load, so I just stopped looking fro them. I bought 500 rounds of the Norma Bondstrike ammo, and it seems to shoot that decently well basically 1 MOA. I took it out to 500 yards today and everything was dead nuts, so I feel as ready for my next...

    300 RUM loading results today

    Getting ready for my first Elk hunt in 2 weeks (CO 2nd Season OTC Unit). I put a new stock on the 300 RUM, a Manners PH. And, I bought a dedicated scope for the RUM instead of moving scopes around onto it constantly. Mounted a Bushnell LRHS 2 to it. Sighted it in Wednesday this week, and got an...

    Newfoundland moose hunt

    No, we didn't have any issues. We had the heads of the moose, and the guide filled out paperwork for us to bring back the meat. At the border, I think the agents had us open one cooler, but didn't make us take the meat out of the bags. Now, we did bring back boned in meat which techincally...

    Newfoundland moose hunt

    Hunted Newfoundland 2 times. A few recommendations: Buy really good boots, and super good/tough rain gear. The Lacrosse Alphaburely boots were great for 2 hunts in Newfoundland. First time I went, I took 3 sets of rain gear (Cabelas Rain Suede, Frogg Toggs, and another type I forgot). All 3...
