    New 7mm PRC

    You are right about it not being anything earth shattering. However, as someone who's primary hunting rifle is a 7mm RM (with limited funds to put into firearms) it does improve on the 7 RM. I wanted to shoot heavier, high bc bullets but am limited to bullet weights in the 160's due to the...

    7 mag reloads

    162 gr ELD-X and RL22 going 3033 fps. Before I got my hands on the RL22, I used IMR 7828 which shot really well with the ELD-X and 154 gr SST's. IMR is just a hair slower.

    Stone glacier rifle sling

    I use the stone glacier sling when I'm packing in or out and think I might want access to my rifle just in case I bump in to something, but I'm not really expecting it. If I have filled my tag and am hauling a load, I'll sometimes either use a compression strap up on the fore end instead of the...

    Heart shots drop deer instantly?

    From my experience/observations a heart shot animal will travel anywhere up to 100 yards and very rarely drop. 3 of the last 4 animals my wife shot were heart shots. An antelope doe ran 30 or 40 yards and then stood for 10-15 seconds. A forky mule deer made it 20-30 yards downhill. And another...

    2022 MULE DEER MEAT POLE

    I was pretty tickled to get this last minute of the last day buck. Nice to notch the tag again this year, almost unexpectedly, because I was just 300 yards from the truck on my way out when I jumped him.

    The Hobbit Rifle

    Awesome! I did the same thing, but went with the Sig folding stock. (I think it's a bit lighter than others). But I still have a 24" factory barrel that I need to chop and probably thread. Is yours a 20"?

    How Much Would You Pay?

    I'm strictly an in-state meat hunter. I've hunted all my life and love it. Fortunately, I live in an elk state, but if harvesting wild game became more expensive for me than buying a beef, I would not be buying a tag. And that is just the tag price. I'm perfectly fine with the time...

    6.5 Creedmoor on Elk?

    Your snoopy combo comparison to my 7 mm RM makes me think we need to start a "7mm Mag for Nilgai?" thread and see if can get some good responses from the .223 and 6.5 crowd with some nilgai data. That would be interesting. Anyways, I'll quit hijacking the thread.

    6.5 Creedmoor on Elk?

    I've also heard of outfitters with a .30 caliber minimum rule for their clients, for elk as well as nilgai in Texas. Would I be welcome there with my .308 but not my 7 mag?

    6.5 Creedmoor on Elk?

    I actually wasn't trying to be a smart alec. After seeing the .30 cal criteria listed multiple times in this thread I honestly wondered if there are some that believe a 7 mag is too small for elk. And I do plan on shooting elk with the .308 someday, but the 7 is hard to leave home.

    6.5 Creedmoor on Elk?

    So when I go elk hunting in 2 weeks am I better off with my .308 shooting a 165 gr. Interlock at 2675 fps or my 7mm Mag shooting a 162 ELD-X at 3033 fps? I thought of my 7 as my elk rifle, but it doesn't check the .30 cal box that I guess my .308 does...

    My goat packing experiment

    Awesome. We've had them out a few times now, but my brother took 3 goats bow hunting and got into the elk thick. His comments were that the elk didn't get spooked by the goats, but didn't want to hang around them either. They would look at the goats for a second and then slowly wander away...

    CO Moose Success and Tips

    Nice write-up! And that's awesome that you got it done with the bow. You're a brave soul shooting one that far back. When I shot mine a few years ago I didn't let myself leave sight of the ATV trail because I knew I didn't want to pack one very far at all, and that I wouldn't be able to hold...

    Stone glacier xcurve waist belt setup

    Is he wearing it too loose? I have the same setup, and am wondering how there's enough play to rub. I keep my straps snug and there's no rubbing whatsoever. I wear it so belt rides between my beltline and my bellybutton.

    Mule Deer Head Stolen Off Mtn

    Dang, I wish I would have been smart enough to take a screen shot. If you or Nickofthewoods want to share it with me in a private message (for my own amusement and not to repost it of course) I would owe you one haha
