    6 ARC ammunition

    Shot a cow this year at 215 with 103eldx. Worked great. One round was all I needed, she travelled about 10 yards before tipping over. Wouldn’t hesitate to shoot one out to 600 with that. Wouldn’t hesitate to use the 108eldm either. They are good bullets too. Not as splashy as the eldm.

    WTS/WTT Leupold Mark 4 4.5-14x50 LR/T

    Looking to sell or trade a Leupold Mark 4 with rings. Second focal plane with the TS-32x1 MOA reticle. Everything works and is in excellent condition with no marks or scratches. I don’t have the original box or paperwork for it. Looking to get around $900 shipped, not firm, but I’m not just...

    How much water do you carry in your pack ?

    I carry three 32oz Nalgene bottles. I used to carry a bladder but on one hunt I lost the valve handle and it would leak every time I bent over or laid my pack down. I’m usually out of water when I get back to my truck. That’s enough to hydrate, have coffee, and a hot lunch if I’m making one...

    22 ARC or 6ARC

    6mm ARC. Legal in all 50 states, light recoiling, cheap enough to shoot a lot.

    6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

    Another critter for the 6mm ARC this year. 160ish yards 108eldm. My wife shot a little high as he was uphill from us and she didn’t compensate for the angle. First round dropped him and the second round finished it. Both rounds were complete pass throughs. Didn’t do any necropsy photos since I...

    Who else hunts the west with a black rifle?

    Here’s one of my groups from when I first started breaking it in. 10 round group at 100yds. It’s got an 18” ballistic advantage barrel, Grendel hunter BCG, rifle length gas tube and just a fixed gas block. The back pressure isn’t bad with the Hyperion. It is higher on this rifle than it is on my...

    Who else hunts the west with a black rifle?

    200 yards. One round and she went down. Traveled maybe 10 feet. Put one more round in just for good measure. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Who else hunts the west with a black rifle?

    This one is a 6mm ARC, aero upper and lower, LaRue trigger, Nightforce 2.5-10, Hyperion suppressor. Shooting 103 eldx factory loads. This is my first year only using my ARs. My favorite thing about the AR is ergonomics at the grip, and having a quick adjustable buttstock for different layers...

    Who else hunts the west with a black rifle?

    Does it count if it’s not actually black? I rarely use a bolt rifle anymore. I’m not a long range enthusiast, and I like the modularity of the AR platform. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Long range weather forcasts

    Good luck. I put up hay and raise cattle for a living. My entire life depends on what the weather is going to be like, not only this week, but next year and the year after. I check all my weather forecasts and different stations to put my mower in the dirt on a 0% chance of rain. I’ll pick it...

    WANTED: Your Top 5 Base Camp Tips or Hacks

    I hate waiting on percolator coffee. And I also despise cleaning the percolator. I’ve started boiled water in the percolator and making instant coffee. It’s really the ultimate in my opinion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

    18” 6mm ARC shooting factory 103eldx. One round at 200yds, she travelled about 10yds and toppled over. I put one more in her just because her head was still up. Bullet fragmented upon impact penetrated to off side shoulder. Lungs and heart all had fragment damage. No pics because it was...
