    Bourbon

    How did you drink it? Neat, water, ice? I'm not a big fan of Buffalo Trace myself but don't consider it bitter. What do you normally drink? Rum, Scotch, vodka, mixed only? What kind of wine? What kind of dessert would you ask for? Do you order a coffee black, cream, sugar, or a foofoo...

    Is it all Leopolds

    My son recently went to a Long Range Shooters of Utah class so I asked him about their inventory of rifles and scopes. Nearly every rifle was a custom, about half chassis, half stocked. The scopes were mostly Leopold mark5, a few NF. Funny they have such bad equipment but he still hit the...

    Bourbon

    This is a tough one to answer without knowing your taste at least a little bit. Starting out I'd advise 80 proof ish, and probably not a rye or at least high rye as it can come off as more hot/spicy even at lower proof. Probably try wheated whiskies like Makers Mark, or Benhiems for...

    Bourbon

    Have grown to like rye in my old fashioned. Have never even thought of trying a double Oakes in one.

    Is it all Leopolds

    Read it how you like. I have nothing against cult members. I don’t have to join their cult. Hell, I invite JWs and Mormons into my home for a cup of tea or coffee. That's funny! May as well ask them if they would like to have shot and join your swingers group!

    .223, 6mm, and 6.5 failures on big game

    Not trying to insult at all, but the fact that there was that much white hair in the air while she was still motionless makes me believe that hit was through the leg maybe, but cut the brisket. My son made a similar shot with his 243 and we never found it.

    Would have been 17 Sunday

    I have no words, and don't understand the pain. Honestly, I hope I never do.

    6 arc or 6.5 grendel

    There is so little difference, performance wise, it just doesn't matter if you pick bullets for your situation. The mental mastrubation is induced by hanging around gun nuts. Energy isn't as important (pointless even) as picking bullets designed to perform at the velocity they're used at...

    Chest holster options

    Hopefully you see this, is it possible to get an extra shell for a different firearm?

    6 arc or 6.5 grendel

    No it's not. The OP is wanting through and through penetration, but wants to use short barrel, small caliber cartridges at very close range, and mentioned using an ELDx. Those things don't go together

    6 arc or 6.5 grendel

    I don't understand why you want high speed low drag for 75 yards and still want a pass through. Those don't go together well unless shooting monos and even then there's no guarantee. Why not a 16" .458 socom, 450 bushmaster, .50 Beowulf or similar?

    Let's talk about point of impact / zeroing for different shooters

    There's at least two huge differences. Boobs........ and muscle structure. Recoil impulse, head position also have a big impact. That's why being consistent behind the gun is so important. It's hard to shoot someone else's rifle exactly like they do. If everything is right with the gun...

    Eld-x not performing as expected

    I don't think that's unusual. I'm not saying the eldx is the best, but it's quite popular. If you don't need the high BC long range performance there may be better choices of bullets for you, your gun, and your situation. I still like and use bullets that aren't in vogue. Shot a deer Friday...

    Parasite in elk meat?

    This is yet another reason why you shouldn't trap wolves in Alaska, move them to the lower 48 to infect the wildlife down here. One of the dumbest things they've done.

    Eld-x not performing as expected

    If you're getting them to drop in their tracks 9 out of 10 times that's remarkable performance. My experience is the opposite with chest shots which is my preference as I try to save all the meat I can. I generally have a short run even with the heart blown out.

    .25 Cal (Quarter Bore) / Big Game Success - 25 Creed, 25-284, 25-06, 25 PRC, 25 SAUM

    It's a mid 80's Ruger M77 topped with a Nikon. I've killed everything from ground squirrels and jack rabbits, bobcats and coyotes, a bunch of deer, and even an elk with it.

    .25 Cal (Quarter Bore) / Big Game Success - 25 Creed, 25-284, 25-06, 25 PRC, 25 SAUM

    Well another one dropped by my 257 Roberts. Punched my deer tag for a young WT using a 115gr Nosler Partition. No drama, one round pass through at just about 100 yards. Quartering away got both lungs. No pictures or necropsy photos as it was getting dark quick and needed to break it down to...
