    New BGSS CPW Administrative Topics & Staff Recommendations

    I don’t disagree. But it’s more than just the hunting that’s gone to shit. I came to Colorado from another state long ago and watched the decline. I’m tired of being pushed out. I think the content just put out by the CPW on the 2025-2029 season structure is just easing everybody into what’s...

    Working out.

    I’m in my mid 40’s and it’s certainly more work now to stay in mountain shape now than it used to be when I was younger, and I’ve had to change and adapt to an aging body. I don’t think there is any real magic recipe with all of it, and there is no one-size-fits all approach. I’ve been a...

    Why do I suck at long range?

    the stars need to align to have conditions good enough to take a long range shot at an animal. I’ve killed a lot of elk in the 400-700 yard range and 1 killed at ELR, and it’s always been very calm conditions. Elk are out feeding at the edges of daylight when wind is typically the calmest too...

    Why do I suck at long range?

    This ^^^^ Shape of the terrain in the canyon makes a huge difference too. Luckily in hunting scenarios if you have a lot of ups/downs/ridges between a critter, you can use that terrain to get closer. But, from shooting targets/rocks/steel, you’re just shooting over whatever exists. I own some...

    Anybody go on multi-day hunts in the backcountry without a stove?

    When I first started backpacking hunting in college, I didn’t have the money to buy a stove, so I would take an aluminum pot and boil water for pasta over a campfire. And bring tuna for protein. I got by but had to choke dinners down. Once I got a job, I bought a stove and have never left it...

    300 WSM load recommendation

    Yowza that’s some impressive velocity with the 215 out of a 19” barrel!

    300 WSM load recommendation

    How is accuracy and velocity with the 6.5 staball in the 300wsm? I’ve been using it in my 6 and 6.5 Manbun and it’s been great.

    300 WSM load recommendation

    Did you see that Lapua is going to start making 300wsm brass? Also, I assume you’re loading for a hunting rifle? My latest 300wsm is a savage ultralight that I bought for my younger son. Being a short action, 7.75 lbs all-in, 24” barrel with a SAAMI throat, it’s best suited for the mid-weight...

    300 WSM load recommendation

    I’ve had several 300 wsm’s shoot the 180’s in the 3025-3050 window very accurately (24” barrels). Used to use H4350, but have switched to RL16.

    Oh that’s really interesting. At least when I bought my rifle early last year, their website didn’t specify a trigger brand. And it came with that TriggerTech. But now it makes sense why they didn’t specify. I bet they get bulk orders deals from multiple trigger companies. Timney makes a great...

    Here’s the weight of the PH2 without a scope. The scope rail is mounted, and there is no muzzle brake or thread cap. Also a couple pics of the bedding job, and the disassembled bolt. I really like Seekins creative designs. Very well thought out rifle.

    Bought a Seekins PH2 7mag last year and am very happy. I own lots of custom rifles too. The Seekins can almost shoot with my RBros 7mag and anybody that owns or has shot an RBros rifle knows that’s saying a lot. Below pic is the first group I shot with the Seekins at 1005 yards after load...
