    DIY mountain lion hunt

    If you know where the toughest old bucks that don't want to come down the mountain like to winter..... you have a great spot to begin your search. Late season calling after spotting tracks would be my play.

    Cabelas/Meopta Repair Options?

    With new armor and lenses they're worth over $500. If they're serviceable now....run em.

    Traditional Muzzleloader Shooters timid?

    The argument for cleaning/unloading can be made. If you screw up and put in a wad or bullet before the powder or if the bore gets wet, on an inline you just push it through where a sidelock can be involved and require busting some caps. In lines also have a safety vs cocking the hammer to shoot...

    H.R. 82 - anyone watching this?

    The greedy bastards need their hands cut off so they'll stay out of our pockets. Either quit taking my money and refund me every penny now.....or let ride as was intended.

    Checking zero at camp?

    I never worry about scaring off critters. I have shot elk and had other elk lay with mine....and I've had them completely ignore the shot.

    Traditional Muzzleloader Shooters timid?

    I'm not LARP'ing hardcore....but I really don't care what other's use. How many guys put more than a couple hundred through their rifle/s in a year?

    Traditional Muzzleloader Shooters timid?

    It won't matter what rules you make.....shooters are going to shoot. You can tell me I must use a notch rear....and I will.

    Don't forget to market that it makes your breath immune to their noses.

    Weatherby Vanguard vs Howa 1500.....

    There's been a few changes over the years to the howa/wby/S&W 1500. They're all essentially the same but there are some revisions over the years. Ps, my howa bolt does lock.

    Brass quality

    Flash hole uniformity, neck tension and brass volume play the biggest differences in my opinion. Accurate loads come from consistency. If you reduce the variables you reduce the amount of influences that cost you accuracy. Your rifle fundamentals will play a bigger role in accuracy until...

    Brass quality

    Not going full nuclear on the first one or two firings can help harden the case heads which will help retain primers. If you shoot a 6um you probably don't care, but if you shoot a 257 bob or some other hard to find brass for....it can add up.

    Brass quality

    You can make non premium brass work, but you'll work harder sorting, culling, trimming and most of the time the pockets will not hold up as well.

    Whitetail to Elk

    Be loud.....don't try to be sneaky. Break branches and move quickly. Don't think you can keep up with moving elk. You can't. Elk will not always use the same bedding area, trails nor anything except food and water sources. Elk tend to be in much bigger groups with a lot more eyes open and...
