    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    He's a government coyote control agent that has been on several forums. Lives in eastern MT. He's been using 6.5 and under for quite a few years. I think he has an old Sako 220 Swift that's on its 9th barrel, and has accounted for a few elk.

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

    Entry Exit Chest cavity I'm not doing very well at detailed necropsies this year, but..... Whitetail doe, 69 gr TMK, impact velocity 2750ish. She saw me, ran about 30 yds, and stopped to look. Shot was high shoulderish, although just a bit back from ideal placement. Bullet impacted...

    Hunting guide as a career ?

    I'm fully aware that statistically we may be an outlier. All I'm saying is that following your advice would have been a colossal mistake for me.

    6.5 Creedmoor/260 for Deer, Elk, and whatever else.....

    Well, this is embarrassing, as the OP of the thread, but I killed another whitetail doe tonight, and didn't get any terminal performance pics. I had my boys with me, and it just didn't happen. 230 yds, 130 TMK, 2500ish fps impact velocity. She was quartering to me, impact was just on the front...

    I think this stock is going to be great! I was going to order one in the pre-order for a future rifle, but I took a fairly stiff financial hit in the last month, so I'll be sitting it out. I will likely get one at some point, though. Honestly, I just want a bare carbon one, though......

    I'm sure the only thing he wants to change is to add a few nail polish splatters and a piece of duct tape somewhere!

    Thanks for the carnage

    This is a valid point, but one of the big questions that was circulating a couple years ago when I started the 6.5 thread was related to their use specifically on elk. That question is still certainly debated, but there's quite a few elk in that thread now, to the point that we can draw the...

    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    As the OP of the 6.5 thread, I'm thrilled it has grown like it has, alongside the 223 and 6mm threads. Thanks to every person who has documented wounds and shared them. Evidence based ballistic choices are the the way!

    Coffee Experts--Input Needed

    I use a 6 cup pour over(similar to a chemex) and get local fresh roasted beans once a week. I also have a Mokapot 1 cup that I use occasionally. I try pretty hard not to be snobbish about it, as if someone gives me a cup I want to be able to enjoy it no matter how it was made, but both those...

    Business owners

    Certainly something to this, although where exactly the line is drawn could likely be debated. I'd be curious what the OP was intending, though, as to the vast majority of people I talk to, I am considered a business owner, whether it's technically or semantically correct. No argument...

    Nightforce SHV 4-14x50 opinions?

    Yeah, a buddy has one on his rifle. It's bigger, heavier, and no progress on the reticle. I haven't been motivated enough to switch, yet. It has done well on his 300 WM, though.

    Nightforce SHV 4-14x50 opinions?

    I have a 3-10 on my main hunting rifle, on a pic rail and rings that were torqued and loctited. I hunted 3rd season in CO, and it survived getting knocked over on some rocks, and then it was laying in the back of my 4runner uncased when I rolled it over 180 degrees. Zero was unchanged. If they...
