    22 creedmoor for deer hunting

    What’s the difference between running a 22 creed and a 243 with 90 grain bullets for hunting? The 243 has been considered a deer cartridge for half a century. No reason the 22 creed can’t be since it’s launching practically the same weight projectiles.

    Swfa scopes

    I have owned 2 swfa scopes, a fixed 6x and a fixed 12x. I still have the 12x, it’s been a good scope. The 6x elevation adjustment was good, but the windage adjustment was way off. One word of caution, the way the turrets lock on is just through deformation of a brass pillar that set screws on...

    Swaf scopes

    SWFA fixed power scopes reliably hold zero and track very well at a price that no other reliably tracking scope can be purchased at. That’s the entire appeal.

    Bushnell LRTS 3-12?

    The reticle can definitely be difficult to see on the lowest power settings over darker backgrounds in dim lighting. However, when illuminated, there is no problem seeing the reticle at any power.

    Bushnell LRTS 3-12?

    I have both a 12x LRTS and an 18x LRHS. Both have tracked perfectly. The package 18x has seen a lot of rough use and has held up well.

    25 creed

    I was looking for a balance of low recoil vs high BC and enough bullet weight for me to feel comfortable shooting elk. The 25 creedmoor was what I settled on. I’m shooting the 131gr blackjack with a .340 G7 at 2950fps. The rifle has very low recoil and is super accurate. I’ve been very happy so...

    AR15 243 WSSM - 4100 FPS

    I have had to 243 WSSMs, both Dtech AR15s. They make great all around hunting rifles for situations where you may need to make a long shot or may be jumping game in brush. My first 243 WSSM had just shy of 1K round through it and it shot just as well as it did when it was new. Barrel life should...

    SWFA SS HD vs. Non-HD

    I have both as well. The LRHS and LRTS are superior scopes on my opinion. In regards to HD vs non-HD, from what i have seen, glass quality is the only real deference.

    Biggest cause of 'fliers'?

    I doubt it’s an issue with your loads if it’s consistently the first shot every time. That being said, if the flier is more random, there is a high chance that you have an issue with your load.

    Biggest cause of 'fliers'?

    Fliers is can be very difficult to diagnose as there are many variables that can cause the issue. If it’s always the first shot, every single time, then I would look at barrel contact with the stock, especially with a very light weight barrel. Check it before the first shot, then after the group...

    Eye strain and glassing

    Eye strain in binoculars can be caused by many things. Common problems are the image in each barrel not being lined up and the image not being focused properly or poor resolution glass. I can’t say on your vortex, but they have a great warranty. It’s a good idea to look through a lot of...

    Is reloading worth it for me?

    Biggest question is what is your time worth? You may be able to save a little money be loading your own, but it’s very time consuming. Is the time invested worth it to you? I do reload, but I do it on a low volume basis for a select few cartridges that require extreme precision. The time just...

    What's your favorite rangefinder you use for bow and rifle hunting?

    I’ve played around with a few rangefinders. I think Leica’s compact units are the best when it comes to ranging accuracy (tiny beam divergence), speed, and size. However, most of my hunting is with a rifle in open country, so I like units that make bullet drop calculation fast and easy. The G7...

    Meat damage on bulls shot with rifles

    As already stated, bullet speed, construction, and shot placement make the largest impact. All copper bullets placed behind the shoulder to avoid bone seem to cause the least damage. Although Berger’s places behind the shoulder can cause very little damage as well, since they normally don’t open...

    Fall Black Bear Elevations

    Elevation will vary greatly by where you are in the country. They are looking for food and use their noses to find it. Generally, this will put bears in lower country that still hasn’t dried out. However, if there is a good source up high, they will find it and use it.
