Got impatient and drew the east wasatch late muzzleloader deer hunt. Haven’t hunted the area for a couple decades and looking for general information about deer herd health and suggestions in setting expectations. With all the gas development in the lower elevations, are those areas worth...
Assuming no pressure signs? As noted above , getting measurements of your sized and fired brass would tell you if you just need to make some adjustment with your sizing die.
You didn’t mentioned if your nosler brass was new and whether you sized it or not. Perhaps a slightly tight chamber and the belt area of the brass expanded while firing. Have you reloaded and fired your once fired brass yet to see if you still have a problem. Not assuming anything but in your...
Can’t see a ring forming on your pics but when case head separation begins it can be very faint. Get a heavy paper clip, open up end and put a small short hook on the straightens end of clip. Insert the clip hook in your brass and scratch up and down near the base. If case head separation is...
73g’s at saami length is likely a very hot load. Would not go that high without very careful work up. My tikka 300 win is on its upper end with same bullet and powder at 72.3 but loaded out to 3.5 COAL with 2850fps.
I shoot both the 200 grain accubond and ELDX out of my 300 win with H4831sc, running 2850fps. Both are very accurate. Of theses two bullets, Accubond would be my choice for moose. ELDX are killers but I’ve had jacket separations in elk that make me concerned about encountering moose bone.
Learned a tough lesson a few years ago that contributed to my largest mulie this past season. In that early hunt we had located an exceptional non typical in August and kept tabs on him leading up to my hunt. Had him pegged the morning before the season hanging in a bachelor group and we had...
What was/is your impact velocity at that distance with your load? Curious about your observed on game performance. Pic is of a 200 grain eldx at 650 from a 300 win on a large cow elk with an impact velocity 1914 fps and 1627 ft lbs per shooter ballistics 2875 muzzle velocity. Core separated...
Just got my iPhone 13 phone skope case and put a glass protector on. Have dropped phone a couple times and no problem so far. Impressed with the skope case. Struggled to initially get phone locked into case with screen protector but needs to be tight anyway to hold phone securely.

Looking for caping tool recommendations, specifically what are people using to get cleanly through those very thick bull elk capes. We took a bull last year in November that had a 1/2 thick plus hide on the upper back neck area and I struggled significantly getting a clean, straight incision...
Absolutely, assuming you turn up some intel on an activel water hole/wallow, trail, saddle etc. Otherwise, your time might be best spent Glassing and finding elk. No way would I invest in a treestand commitment without some info on a bull I would want to kill.
