    .223, 6mm, and 6.5 failures on big game

    Yep. The same people come on every thread and defend their little bullets like they’re defending their children. It’s strange. I’m going to build a 25prc to shoot the new a tips, should be a sweet back country setup for my daughter, but I don’t for a second believe it’ll kill like my 300nmi...

    .223, 6mm, and 6.5 failures on big game

    Couldn’t someone ask you the same question? It’s a thread about bullet failures, not a debate.

    I like it. Obviously was the arrow and not the indian!

    .223, 6mm, and 6.5 failures on big game

    Part of the issue with failures, whether a 22 cal or 338 cal is that the animal isn’t found. It’s more rare to recover a failure because usually it requires a follow up shot on a running animal that’s trying to get the heck out of town. Last year I shot a big buck with a 180 eldm. I saw and...

    143 ELD-X blew up on the shoulder?

    I shoot target bullets and have for a while, so this doesn’t come from a hater… but I agree at the grasping at straws. This thread doesn’t fit the narrative currently being pushed on here. On a side not my wife hammered a buck with “her” 7saum shooting 180 eldms. Like it always seems to do...

    143 ELD-X blew up on the shoulder?

    It wasn’t a point of shoulder shot. If it passed through, it would have hit on side shoulder and exited 4-5” behind shoulder on off side. Shot was straight up the leg.

    143 ELD-X blew up on the shoulder?

    I saw an antelope shot at 90 yards this year with a 6.5cm and 143eldx. I told my buddy when we walked up, “look at that exit”. He said, that’s the entrance! It absolutely exploded on the shoulder. This was in grasslands, nothing between the antelope and shooter. It made it into the cavity...

    Colorado flat tops hunt no luck

    I assume you’re talking domestic sheep? Surprised they got trapped in there, the herders usually keep a pretty close eye on them. Not sure why people keeping being surprised about the state of that area. I haven’t been back since the die off for a reason. But as always, CPW appreciates...

    Need some input on vacuum/chamber sealer

    I have the 230. This is the 2nd year I’ve had it. Last year it did 11 animals. So far this year, it’s done 4 antelope, a moose, and an elk. It’s not hard to justify the cost when you compare it to having animals butchered! Zero complaints or regerts. The 5 mil bags are tough, but will...

    Colorado flat tops situation?

    I just looked, most units have 5 doe tags! Good on CPW, and boy oh boy, I sure as heck wouldn’t be buying a tag in a unit that has that few doe tags. There’s your sign!

    Colorado flat tops situation?

    Unfortunately it doesn’t really work that way. It’s too bad that they can’t shut the whole thing down, I see why they don’t. I think @robby denning did a podcast with a biologist and they talked about the need to keep some tags so the tags don’t go away permanently. I didn’t look at the...

    Colorado flat tops situation?

    I think part of the issue is there are no elk, at least compared to 2021. It’ll take time for the herd to come back. Let’s just hope CPW continues to limit female licenses.

    Surprised nobody is using a golf bag hard case, I saw a lot of people talking about using them to throw people off the gun trail…

    Let’s talk gun cases

    Pelican 1750 looks like it weighs 25 pounds with foam. With a 50 pound max, that’s my concern. 25 plus 10 pounds, plus ammo and clothes is about all you’re getting.

    Let’s talk gun cases

    What is everyone using for airline travel, specifically Alaska? Skb golf club case, harbor freight Apache case, pelican 1750? Who’s removing the foam and using just clothes? Any tips or tricks?
