    Best 50 Caliber Elk Hunting Bullet for Accuracy & Terminal Performance

    All bullets you mentioned would work great on an elk. Especially if you’re getting good accuracy. If you’re looking for other bullets to try we have had good luck with the 300 gr. XTP mag. With open sights it might be easier to go with that lighter/flatter shooting bullet to reduce the...

    .270 Round Combo?

    You have been given great advice I shoot a 270 Win exclusively. I use the 150 gr. Partition when I’m elk hunting. I have killed mature bulls as far away as 580 yards with complete pass throughs. That is a deadly combination. The 270 is a very capable and accurate round. My suggestion is try...

    Factory .270 ammo for elk

    I shoot 150 gr Partitions and get great results. My last bull in Wyoming was a complete pass thru at 550+ and a very dead bull. Shoot what your rifle likes and the elk won’t know the difference.

    Bullet selection

    Excellent advice given. In my CVA accura I shoot BH209 and .452 - 300 gr. Hornady XTP. I use MMP HPH 24 sabots and CCI mag primers. That combo is very accurate and cheap to shoot if you buy the bullets and sabots in bulk. We have not had to track a deer with this combo. Good luck in your new...

    Women’s boot suggestions

    I’m looking for input on a good boot for my wife. She does not hunt a ton but has a Nov. mule deer hunt this year which could have snow, rain, and certainly cold temps. I wear Zamberlan 960’s and really enjoy them. I’m willing to spend $200-$300 for these boots to help her enjoy the...

    OnX GMU errors

    I have not been online but I wonder if you have the correct species selected? In Wyoming each species uses the same boundaries but different user numbers?? That’s something you could easily check. They are working great on my iPhone version.

    OnX app not working consistently on I6

    The off grid is where you save the maps you want to use when you are out of cell range. You then open the map you want to use in airplane mode and the app works great. I would advise you to call OnX customer service line. They are very helpful and can get you up and running. For me, I will...

    Weatherby Vanguard BackCountry

    I bought one a few years ago. After much thought I went with a .270 Win. Since then It has cleanly killed multiple mule deer out to 475 yards and I killed my bull elk this at 550 yards. It shoots the 150 gr. nosler ballistic tip and Partitions well under moa. I would buy another one in a heartbeat.

    Tikka 7-08 and accubonds

    I have seen components make a big difference so that may be a great place to start. Good luck!

    Tikka 7-08 and accubonds

    My Wife's Savage loves varget with the 120 gr. Ballistic tip, 140 BT, and 139 gr. IB. You could try different primers? Or try RL17, RL19, H414, or H 4350. What kind of groups are you getting? Are you 100% sure you don't have a scope or mounts issue?

    Angle Compensation on Rangefinder

    Depends on where you hunt and your weapon type. Steep angled shot make s huge difference for bowhunters and muzzleloaders. I would get one with it. I would also highly recommend the Sig Kilo's. They are leagues ahead of even the previous best rangefinders.

    First Lite Cipher pattern and Giveaway!

    I would like the vapor storm light rain jacket. I already have the uncompahgre puffy jacket and I love it! I will use it on my backpacking hunt into the Wyoming backcountry. It's size and weight would really help lighten my pack on a hunt where rain and typically snow can be in the forecast...
