    Do they really climb 1500' or 2000'

    We did 2000'+ every day in SW Colorado, starting at 9,200'. We get back in and up high, and stay high. The first day is always a killer for me, coming from 156' in the Northeast. The rest of the days just suck, but there are only so many Octobers in one man's life. It's always worth it.

    12 Gauge vs 20 Gauge for bird hunting

    !2 gauge for the one and only. However, for upland birds, a little 20 is perfect.

    Which bullet

    There's the Nosler Accubond LR and Federal Terminal Ascent. I'm going to work up loads with the ABLR 175s, and am waiting to get my hands on some TAs. I'd love to find some RL-26 pixie dust too.

    How many rounds do you pack in with you on a hunt?

    Sort of this. 1 in chamber, 2 in the mag, and 3 in my pack. I have only neede the first for hunting, but always have the extra 3 out west for emergencies.

    Short Barrel Suppressed 7s for Elk

    I chronied and trued Hornady Precision Hunter 175gr ELD-Xs at 2910fps (156' in elevation - in the Northeast) out of my lefty 110 Ultralite with a 22" Proof Research barrel (non suppressed and no muzzle brake). After getting rid of the little bit of reamer chatter first. I got 2875 fps average...

    2023 2nd season colorado elk

    It took 3 of us, all over 55 years old, 9 hours to quarter and pack every bit of the meat out of the woods. It was brutal, especially for me as a lowlander living at 156' in elevation, lol. That is what one needs to prepare for when hunting backcountry though.

    2023 2nd season colorado elk

    Thanks man! Yours is awesome too. The reason the take stats are so low on public land is that most hunters don't do what you do! Keep it up!

    Your Elk Hunting Rifle

    I came off my heavyish .340 Weatherby Accumark and went to a Savage 110 Ultralite/Proof Research barrel in 7mm PRC.

    I would expect about a 30-40fps increase.

    2023 2nd season colorado elk

    I have no intention to hijack your thread as a newbie here, but the forum seems to direct me to existing threads when I attempt to start a similar new one. But similar to you, getting off the beaten path and into the deep backcountry of the public lands has its rewards. That opening day snow...

    Dogs and raw game meat

    Me too. My GSP gets a reward for his work. Our dogs get raw meat when I'm butchering, as well as table scraps. No issues, and virtually no farting. I'm clearly the culprit in the latter category.

    7 PRC Velocities / FACTORY Ammo

    I picked up a 100 Ultralite LH with the 22" Proof barrel, and had 1 &1/2 weeks to shoot it before using it for elk hunting. I ran 3 different lots of Hornady Precision Hunter 1675 ELD-Xs through it. After 60 rounds, the average velocity increased to about 50fps, to measure 2850 on my CE M2...
