    The 22 creedmoor thread

    That’s almost exactly what mine looks like. How many rounds? I’ve lost track on mine but approximately 600. It was a 1” for 10 shots now closer to 2”. Curious if cleaning helps yours.

    I HATE archery. But I like mule deer so it’s happening 😂

    Let them grow?

    This topic always seems to come up around this time of year. If you are not able to find/kill deer that meet your standard, you should 1) apply instead for highly limited tags Or 2) get better at hunting The answer is not some magical management/law/tag allocation nonsense. Guarantee...

    Sold 106 TAP (midway seconds) 2,000

    I have a little under 2000 of these. Estimating 1970 but can count them if needed. Shot somewhere between 20-30 of them from one bag and decided to go another route. $400 TYD for the lot

    Let them grow?

    I would like everybody else to let them grow a few years, especially the ones close to the road. When it’s my turn I want to see lots of big bucks, preferably next to the road. Is that too much to ask?

    106 TAP for hunting?

    Finally got around to shooting these in a PVA 6cm. The pressure ladder and 5 round groups looked very promising..not thrilled with the 15 round group. Probably will sell the 2k or so that I bought and try the 109eld. This was with RL16; worked up to 3250fps without pressure signs. This group was...

    New guy from California

    Keep at it! My best d zone hunting spots are places I saw bucks in velvet during July while backpacking. They continue to produce year after year. There is a lot of good looking country that does not hold deer. Do a little scouting this summer and you will be miles ahead for the fall 😬

    Jerky Time!

    I didn’t freeze mine, but wish I had. I used nitrates, packed into vacuum sealed bags. I thought it would be good. After about a month I noticed the taste was not the same. Still edible but slightly off in flavor. A year later some of it had a little mold and was not edible. Zip lock in the...

    Jerky Time!

    It’s really hard to beat the jerky gun! My only advice is to make small batches. Eat it within a couple weeks ideally. I made 30lbs one year, took too long to eat it and it didn’t keep very well even in dehydrated bags. Fresh jerky is the best 😍

    Mule Deer over Money

    Worrying about what other people shoot is like worrying about who your neighbor is going to vote for. You can preach all you want but forkies are going to get killed. The hunting community would be a better place if everyone would mind their own business and focus on being a better hunter rather...

    Hornady A-Tip Match Bullets

    The new .257 A tip is intriguing. Pretty good BC increase over the 134. Not sure I want to be the guinea pig for terminal performance..the 134s have been perfect so far

    Mule Deer over Money

    It’s easy to talk about eating tags..actually doing it 5 days in when things are looking grim is another story. Zero shame in shooting a small buck if you eat it and respect the animal. Better to shoot a small buck than a doe. Plenty of bucks around to breed all the does, usually never enough...

    Gunwerks Elevate 2.0 bipod?

    Shot side by side with my CAL and honestly could not tell a difference in stability/wobble zone between the two.

    Help with recoil calc: 7mag vs 6cm

    That’s going to be a night and day difference, no calculation needed.
