    6.5 PRC for elk? If so how far?

    Funny, my hunting partner, lives and dies by 300 wsm or 300 win mag. Will not shoot anything else, when I bring up 6m and 6.5's all I get is blasted about how they are not adequate, BUT if I want to shoot a 6.5 then I should get a .264 Win Mag, "now those things anchor deer"....Im like huh? have...

    Elk with a Savage slug gun

    I dont know why it wouldnt work. From my understanding of chasing the shot gun slug world ( where I hunt in TN is at Ft Campbell, and its shotgun/ML only) so I have gone through a bunch of a different slugs, shotguns etc lol but in the Rem Accutips the 12 ga is a 58 caliber bullet and the 20 ga...

    Max Effective Range for Elk: 7-08, 6.5C, and 308

    I know I am simple minded, but I learned years ago when I started hunting and shooting 45 years ago, I could shoot a 308 fmj through a pumpkin but my 12 ga copper solid would make it explode. One was designed to not open, and one was. One had high velocity with high muzzle energy, and one was...

    Shotgun optics with slugs

    Ive been looking at the Crimson Trace Slugger. The scope has I think 5" of eye relief. You sight it in at 50 then the bdc is supposedly accurate out to 200 yards. But it is a 3x9x40 with no illumination. The illumination is what led me to try my lpvo, but then I realized at dusk it sucked and...

    Shotgun optics with slugs

    Most LPVO's will have too short an eye relief for a 12 ga slug, Ive never been scoped, but came close. Went back with a 2x7x32.....We have some shotgun only areas here in Tenn at Ft Campbell. Rest of the state you can use pretty much anything lol. Good luck

    Alabama rut

    Thoughts on a lightweight folding shotgun for small/medium game.

    You could get a Rem 870, get a Mesa Tactical adapter for a collapsible stock, which would almost be as short as a folder collapsed, in fact with the Mesa Adapter I think you can put a folding adapter on it for a standard ar15 buffer tube, get ya a Carlson 18.5" barrel that takes Rem chokes and...
