    Tire Chains vs Cables

    If real chains will fit, then absolutely a good set of v bar style chains with cams is the way to go. Make sure they fit and you know how to put them on........... With an unloaded truck, never had an issue with chains on the front only, and the only time we use chains are on really slippery...

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    We killed 5 deer total this year with that load, and all died very quickly, but we had zero blood trail. On all five deer I had to poke my finger around to find the entrance......no blood on the outside of the deer. Some did exit, but same thing.....couldnt find it without poking my finger...

    Unable to develop load for rifle

    How many rounds through the rifle? I didnt see where you said for sure what factory load shot good in this rifle, and how many did you shoot? I would check all screws. I have had a rifle that would only shoot one load good.....it shot it really good, so I went with it. Most all ammo, factory...

    Looking for a wagon, commuting and road trips

    On the subaru, I have seen one headgasket failure after replacement (2.5 with the newest FP gasket) at close to 200k after replacement (320k on car total). And it was overheated badly because of a leaky oem replacement water pump. The rest have outlasted the bottom end or the car. And we have...

    best caliber/cartridge for no lead bullets.

    Been kicking around getting another rifle, use will be deer and elk around 400 yds and less. The 130 ttsx looks like it could work pretty good in the .308 diameter stuff. Recoil has become an issue for me and brakes are out of the question. Would prefer 130 grn 270 win type recoil and less. Any...

    Snow tires- Lion hunting

    What do you have those on? For me they have been OK in most everything, but dont have the best grip on packed slippery (not siped....) stuff. Pretty tough tire, and both sets I have are wearing pretty well. The one set has chunked out a little from being used on rough rocky stuff pulling...

    Best powder for .35 Whelen?

    used r15 with 225 partitions for a few years. Accuracy was really good, but seems like my velocity was a little slow of max book loads......no pressure signs probably just needed a little more powder. Never messed with it because always put 3 inside an inch.

    62 grain gold dot for deer

    Just to follow up on this bullet. Killed 3 more deer with it, one high shoulder broadside at about 30 yards. broke both shoulders, small exit out of hide almost no blood on ground. Deer on ground immediately pretty good damage to lungs. Second one was at about 100 yards also "high shoulder"...

    Ideal Elk Cartridge?

    I should add, that all were within 450 yards. Most were with the 270, with 130 corelokts, 140 grain ballistic tips (seemed to perform the best) and a 150 grain interlock. The 140 ballistic tip worked really good for us most shots were between 200 and 450 yards with very few that needed a second...

    .30-06 effective range

    I am sure there are other bullets as well, but the 178 eldx loaded fast in the 3006 talked me out of carrying my 300wm anymore...... Just the sound difference between a 165 accubond and the 178eldx whacking rocks at 5-600 is pretty impressive

    Ideal Elk Cartridge?

    Have killed elk with 130 grain 270 cup and core stuff, and up to 338wm with heavy partitions, with a couple calibers in between. Nothing died any faster than with the 270.

    Blue LocTite- Rings and Bases or No?

    Just to pass on some info that I was given by a Rep that deals with loc tite kind of stuff, It is important to get all of the old loc tite out of the threads, as it can slow down or stop the reaction that takes place causing it to cure. Something about needs to be directly exposed to the surface...

    Is there any real danger of an overly high pressure following book loads?

    I have never been too concerned if the recipe matches.......like same bullet at same oal, same brass and primer. But even then will start a little low. If the components dont match the load data exactly, then I start much lower. Did have an experience with some light 270 varmint type bullets...

    62 grain gold dot for deer

    I 100% agree on the poor placement. Just looking for some reinforcement that I wasnt making a poor choice on bullet. Have 3 kids that are using this rifle, The oldest (16 that has his own 270) I had use it first because I Knew he would make a good shot, basically as an experiment as I have...

    Have you shot a deer high shoulder with this bullet? If so, what distance and what kind of penetration?

    62 grain gold dot for deer

    So from reading last night, this gold dot bullet and the fusion bullet are now the same bullet. Thanks for the replies, will continue using this bullet and have several tags between us that it will get used for.
