    Roosevelt elk -- how much pressure is too much pressure?

    If you get there 90 min before shooting light, you’ll be the last one there. It’s super important to “hunt” them in the days leading up to season. Assuming you find elk, keep tabs on them making sure nobody blows them out and put them to bed the night before the opener. Get in there really...

    7mm-08 Favorite Loads!

    .5gr more and I had to scrap the brass. Primers basically fell out and I only averaged 2880fps to do so. This load shoots great, .6-.7 5 shot groups.

    Fierce Firearms Disaster

    Here I thought Ryan Lamper was one of the good guys for the hunting world…

    Haha try killing a buck like that in 21 without a controlled tag…one of all 5 of them.

    Here I thought Ryan Lamper was one of the good guys for the hunting world…

    I hope they stick it to him but I’m not holding my breath. Our Lemhi Co judge is notorious for going easy on perps. I was really hoping he had just ran out of wolf tags but kept knocking them down. Disappointing.

    Elk camp Bourbon

    Crown suffices for a “kill shot” but for bourbon, I’m a big fan of Michter’s small batch.

    Tikka .270

    Before I loaded for my Sako A7, I used 150g fed fusions and they shot well under an inch, closer to 1/2”

    150 & 162 Gr ELD-X

    is this for a tikka, by chance? If so, the 150 eldx will seat with the bearing surface at the neck/shpulder junction and be around .030 off the lands. This is as a long (med) action.

    Tikka

    -They’re consistently very accurate out of the box -Their receivers are machined to consistent tolerances, so much so, that barrel makers have prefit barrels for them. -they’re relatively inexpensive What’s not to like?

    Is N570 temperature stable?

    I have with 230gr Bergers. Wasn’t a super hot load, I think 91-92gr and 3075fps. I’ve since switched to 215’s and it hammers.

    H4350 - am I doing it wrong?

    H4350 is one of the powders I buy in 8lb kegs. It’s excellent in my 6.5cm with 140 eldm and long thoated 300wsm with 180gr ABs. One ragged hole groups from both

    Where are the expert elk hunters here??

    I’ve used butler creek caps for probably 25years hunting western wa in driving rain and busting brush. I’ve only ever broke one or two caps. Just be vigilant with the moisture, like wipe off excess water before you close them for the day. They should never cause you to miss an opportunity on an...

    7mm-08 120 gr Ballistic Tip on Elk?

    It’s a great bullet. I would use it with confidence. It has a thicker jacket than a normal ballistic tip. My daughter has killed a couple bucks with my handloads that are going 3050fps. Both were pass-throughs and quick deaths. The 140gr accubond is a great bullet as well.
