I haven't taken an elk with mine. But I would feel comfortable shooting an elk with my 6.5 PRC loaded with 142ABLR out to 600 yards if I really needed to. Most people are 300 yards or closer. A lot of calibers can do 300 yards and kill an elk no problem. You're over thinking it. Don't listen to...

The guns now a days have better recoil reducing parts now. All the 6.5 PRC I have shot, recoil was really nothing, maybe can say is like a 243, but I really don't notice any recoil. My 12 year old nephew has the savage ultralight in 6.5 PRC. He shoots the 143 eldx in his. He can shoot his gun...

Factory lot to lot can be a big difference in zero. But usually group size can be nearly the same. My mom uses the Hornady Superformance SST for her 243. We shot different lots and the average zero change has been 3" high or 3"...
I have started to place venison steaks in a milk bath at least 5-6 hours before eating it and more when occasions allow me. An hour before cooking I take out of the milk bath, pat it some with a paper towel, and then season it with whatever(typically dry seasoning). I think the taste is way...
Sounds a little slow but it's not that far off for a short barrel. If it's accurate, I wouldn't chase velocity, especially if it's 100fps or less. That really does not add much. I have a 24" and I run the 142ABLR around 2835 fps. Getting .3-.4" 4 shot groups at 100. I have went up to 2900 and a...

Been a while since I been out west. Thinking it's time to start looking back into it. I got this stud on public land in Wyoming. 176 3/8" 7x6 Non typical. I knew it was big when I see him, but didn't know about the kickers and the splits he had until I got my hands on him. I would really like to...
