    My thoughts on Long-range shooting/hunting

    Hard question to answer. It would depend on several different factors, weather conditions, animals size, what it was doing, feeding, bedded down, who was my spotter, if legal and I can take a sighter shot and what rifle I was using. If I had my 338/408 pushing a 300 grain bullet at 3250FPS and...

    My thoughts on Long-range shooting/hunting

    My thoughts on Long-range shooting/hunting

    Once the bullet gets acted upon leaving the muzzle it will continue moving in the direction it was acted upon.

    Annealing

    I have a question on over annealing. Why is the brass considered trash if it's over annealed to a dead soft condition in just the neck shoulder junction? I'm aware that some of the alloys are burned off when the necks are over annealed. But don't know why that would make them unsuitable to...

    PA "Backcountry" hunting?

    I have camp just outside of Cross Fork's and use to spend a lot of time in that area. If it was me I'd look at the area along St. Rt. 144 north in the Sproul state forest area especially where Jews Run Road breaks off of 144 N. You can drive back some distance and if you go to the left you can...

    1035 yard bear

    After more than 50 years of hunting and 10 years of hunting PA bears I harvested one the last day of the PA season at 1035 yards. Wasn't real big around 185# live according to the Game Commission. But I was happy.
