    Help with caliber

    Personally it comes down to fit, form, and function for me and the old verbiage of putting the bullet where it belongs. I have a plethora of calibers to choose from when I walk out the door. 6ppc, .257Bee, two .260's, .270wsm, two 7mm-08's, .280, 7mag, and a .300RUM. The area I hunt will always...

    Help with caliber

    I wouldn't overlook the 6.5's I have two .260's in my arsenal and will take it way before I walk out the door with my .270wsm. B/C is phenomenal, and a better selection of bullets now than when Remington introduced the .260.

    Learning How to Reload

    It's already been covered a bit, but just food for thought especially on a "hunting" rifle. As mentioned each barrel / combo will like a particular seating depth. I've never "crimped" a round either, but have seen bullets vibrate out of the case when being carried for long periods on an atv...

    Reloading 101

    I'm still using the RCBS rock chucker press I learned to hand load on 30+ years ago. RCBS in general is a phenomenal organization to deal with. Ideally it would be best to piece your components together, however until you go through the process for a while, it'll be difficult to really grasp...

    Help with caliber

    I came across a deal a few years back on a SUB MOA Vanguard in .270wsm that I couldn't pass. It's the only Weatherby in my collection, but shoots 130gr Accubonds very well. It hasn't made it on any hunting trips, but I wouldn't hesitate to use it as an elk round. Recoil is quite manageable. You...

    6.5 bullet for minimal pelt damage?

    Personally if I was attempting to keep pelts, I'd look at the 130gr Accubond to attempt to pencil through if you can. I've shot thousands of 52gr SMK's out of my 22-250 and love them, however very unpredictable. One will pencil through, where the next leaves a hole a semi could drive through...

    Smallest elk rifle

    I have both the 7-08 and two .260's. Both have taken numerous elk past the 300 yard mark with ease. If I was walking out the door on another hunt and had to chose just between these two, I'd take the .260 hands down. B/C of the 6.5 (.260) is great, and there is a difference in recoil between the...

    DIY/ printed sight tapes

    Lots of programs out there to print marks off. As far as applying the marks / tape to the sight. I use standard paper & print off several duplicate tapes. AT some point you'll need one when your not close to print another. I use two sided tape against the sight to adhere the sight tape - then...

    Kuiu Icon Pro 7200 vs. Kifaru EMR

    I'd be curious as to your intended use of the packs, and as asked above how you narrowed it down to these two? I have experience with the Kuiu Ultra series. After running for two months / one season, it will never be used for more than a day pack again. I have yet to use a Kifaru, however I...

    Kuiu performance - not as advertised! Beware

    To the original post - stating not as advertised. I can't speak for the rain gear or clothing for that matter, however agree 100% on the Ultra 6000 pack. Within the first two trips before season, the pack already had seam separation. It's quite apparent where the weight reduction came into...

    Best non custom mountain rifle

    I don't own one, however will one of these days, so don't get me wrong on the Tikka - I'd ensure one is carrying an additional magazine. ( Or look for a option to the plastic in case it's dropped )???? My stable is full of Remington's - My light one is a Stainless Synthetic Mtn in .280
