    Bullet design for modest hunting distance on all game

    I have a “beater” rifle in 308 (Ruger Hawkeye Stainless) that I keep around because it’s economical to shoot, bomb proof, and has a level of recoil that most people can tolerate. I have taken blacktail, whitetail, mule deer, and Roosevelt elk with it. All with a 165gr Nosler Ballistic Tip over...

    Is the 270 Win going the way of the 280, and slowly dying?

    Not to mention the 270 was introduced when the parents of the “boomers” were born.

    Sold Weatherby Mark V Weathermark 300 Wby Mag

    I have the exact same rifle. It might seem like a lot of gun, but I almost never have to say “no” on elk and, of course, deer. Great price considering the cost of the rifle and accessories.

    Is the 270 Win going the way of the 280, and slowly dying?

    This site cracks me up. If any of you can hold within the 1.3 inch difference in drop at 500 yards between some PRC BS and a 270, then dip me in shit and roll me in breadcrumbs. Until then, its all mental masturbation. The 270 turns 100 in 2025 (it predates the boomers for all the “ok...

    2.5-15x: The ideal hunting scope?

    I’d rather have a scope with a big eye box than a scope with lots of magnification. It seems the more x, the more critical eye relief can be. I also don’t like a top-heavy rifle, so I keep my scopes light. I use a lot of fixed 4x and 6x scopes. The highest magnification I have on a big game...

    First Pronghorn Hunt DIY

    ^^^ This! You’ll be surprised how close you can get to animals in what is seemingly wide open country. Creek bottoms, natural folds in the land, even getting low and crawling if you have to. Mind the wind. As a mule deer hunter, I started out using magnum cartridges that shot flat so I could...

    What’s the best pre workout supplement for energy and focus you have used?

    I’ve noticed a lot of people using a “pre-workout supplement”. What is it and what does it do?

    Whitetail vs Mule Deer - who has harvested both from the ground and is one easier than the other?

    Mule deer have a curiosity that is their undoing. Practice 250 yard shots. That’s as far as they bound before they stop and give you a shot.

    Basic scope...with the best glass

    Honestly, I’ve been pretty impressed with the “cheap” Burris E1 4.5-14x scope I bought for a kick-around 223 rifle. Not too much I can’t hit inside 400 yards with the ballistic plex reticle. I think I paid less than $200 for it. Bought a 3-9x version as well.

    What caliber should my next elk rifle be?

    For a dedicated elk rifle, I’m a fan of the 338 Win Mag. I could see the 340 Weatherby or 8mm Remington Magnum as interesting choices, but they require a magnum length action.
