    7mm General purpose rifle

    I have both calibers in different rifles and agree with several of the comments above. I enjoy shooting the 7mm-08, it's fun and accurate. Reloading for it has been easy, and it uses a lot less powder than the 7RM. Seems very forgiving in choosing a good load as well. My 7RM has killed...

    Costco Puffy

    I got the Eddie Bauer from Sam's Club a couple months ago for $30. It's good, but does shed down feathers.

    Starter Bow for Teen ?

    Take a look at the Diamond Infinite Edge Pro and Edge SB-1 bows. I bought my son an SB-1 a couple years ago and it's been great. Very adjustable and shoots nice.

    Arrowhead 300gr XLD

    Ok, we're using the same method. It sure is a lot of fun! It's incredible being able to shoot a muzzleloader so accurately. I'm getting 1.25in groups at 300 yds with a little wind present using the XLD bullets. I can also say they are effective on elk at distance (my GF and I both killed elk...

    Arrowhead 300gr XLD

    I'm not sure what I'm looking at. Was the expected POI the center dot, and this is the drop when using .400? I'm sending them at 2520 fps using BH209 and shot out to 600 yds. I found that I had to use .358 in JBM to get the ballistics to match what I saw on the range. I'm using my rifle for...

    Sold Hornady 6.5 CM 143 ELD-X Bullets

    I only see boxes of 20 on Midway for $38.99? Is there a better way to buy these, or is this a typo? Edit: I just realized you were probably talking about bullets and not ammo...sorry about that!

    Arrowhead 300gr XLD

    I got a different BC (.358) when shooting these bullets. May not matter at close range, but it does matter at long range.

    Well crap....now what?

    Can't help with the boots. I've use Gear-Aid Freesole adhesive with high success! Reglued the soles on my boots this year and it held up great! My water sandals are going on 4 years now with the stuff. Shoe Goo failed almost immediately...the Gear-Aid is awesome!

    High Ballistics Coefficients Means Squat on Elk?

    Not to sound like a jerk, but you seem to be over thinking it. You have a selection of bullets in limited quantity. The bullet that you get adequate accuracy is probably the best choice of those you listed, especially if staying within 300 yds. Can you hit a paper plate at 300 yds? If so...

    Bipod Poll - Thunder Beast, Atlas, Harris or other?

    I went thru this exercise earlier this year. Decided to try the Magpul bipod. Worked out pretty well and does what I need in a hunting bipod. Wish it was a little lighter, but do like having tilt and pan with it.

    Looking for nice binos for my son that are compact but work in low light

    I bought my son Swaro SLC's for his 13th birthday. Expensive, yes, but he'll have and use them for a long time. He's the type to take care of his stuff, so I'm not worried about that. The Leupold BX-4's in 10x42 are pretty nice too. I have a set that are like new I need to advertise for...

    My daughter survived Covid and returned to work today!

    Thank you. I hadn't heard about that and will have to look into it more as that could explain my situation. I'm 90% sure we both had it. The covid brain fog is an interesting side affect as well.

    My daughter survived Covid and returned to work today!

    Any idea why this is? My son and I both think we had it back late February. I donated blood in August and antibody test came back negative. Would like to know more about this. Thanks.

    What happened to OnX this year?

    Thanks for the info. Given that, the free CarryMap App with the BLM files tells me what I need to know (private vs public with no ownership data).

    Covid in the Colorado Backcountry

    Lol...that's just our idiot Governor and her ultra-liberal followers. This has been an incredibly frustrating year with her in charge of this place.

    What happened to OnX this year?

    Thanks for the tip, I appreciate the help. Unfortunately I got the same message using both the phone app (I had good cell service) and my Garmin Rino with the OnX chip. This has happened at several private land chunks in this area, yet others definitely show ownership data (Name is about all)...

    Dope Card for rifle hunting

    I use Avery #5526 waterproof labels to print my drop and windage (10mph @ 90 deg) holds and stick it to the stock. Packing tape works too, but these labels hold up great. Make a simple chart in Excel and print. I also take a picture with my phone, and print extras to keep in camp just in case...
