    Overthinking Bullet construction on Elk

    Probably good advice. I only get to do this every few years, so I enjoy the buildup ,and I want to give it my best effort. thanks for the insight, but ultimately, hole in 2 lungs and they don't live long.

    2024 AK Moose Prep

    Depends what you do. if you just have them debone it, it may not be that expensive. However, my buddy lives in a big city and doesn't have a good wild game butcher in the lower 48. He got sausages made, and a bunch of processed stuff, I think he was up around $2000. I brought everything home...

    Wish I could pump in more than 1 like to this post. A man with his gun over the years... That's high quality stuff.

    2024 AK Moose Prep

    I can vouch for Alaska Trophy Express. Used them last year. Good communication. Got my meat and antlers to me when they said they would.

    2024 AK Moose Prep

    I miss moose camp. I'd love to go back this year. How many hunts of a lifetime is someone legally allowed to have?

    Overthinking Bullet construction on Elk

    You have a good point. I killed a mule deer with a 150 TTSX from my 7rm. First shot anchored him, but it was a little forward and 15 minutes later when I got up to him, he blinked at me. Had to finish him. Shot wasn't far in front of where I wanted to be, but didn't get the expansion you would...

    Overthinking Bullet construction on Elk

    it performed fine. I just wanted to try something different. I've shot a couple animals with the TTSX and felt like I left a lot of energy in the dirt behind the animal after it passed thru. PLUS it's a slow time of year for hunting and chasing things on the reloading bench is fun.

    Overthinking Bullet construction on Elk

    Loaded some 200 grain ELD-X bullets and went to the range saturday. Was really satisfying to get in under an MOA and call it a day. the heavier bullets shot much better

    Overthinking Bullet construction on Elk

    5 shot groups, and admittedly, I struggle with letting the barrel cool down like I should. I know I'm over thinking things, my buddy is going with us and wants to kill one with a 130 gr copper out of his 270. If that gets it done, I'm sure my 178s will too.

    Overthinking Bullet construction on Elk

    I love when people Get the reference. I tend to agree but don’t know if I’m settling when I shouldn’t be. I’m he partitions or copper would be my preference for a bullet, but didn’t know if I’m settling too soon.

    Overthinking Bullet construction on Elk

    Been reloading my 300 WSM and I can get a number of rounds within 1.5 MOA, however the most accurate has been the 178 ELD-X. Those were well under 1 MOA. You can read anything online and some people will crap on it, but in terms of accuracy they go like this: TIER 1 (under 1 MOA) 178 ELD-X...

    How did you pick your pack?

    Do a little research, then buy one and roll with it. I'm a believer in good equipment, but often times, unless you live in the back country, you won't know the difference between a B+ pack and an A Pack. Like drinking wine. Unless you're really into it, you won't know the difference between...

    Eating Wild Hog

    I've eaten them. My experience was they're lean, which is the opposite of a domestic pig. We added some pork fat to the sausage and they were delicious. My son shot a 275 pound boar about 2 weeks ago. Was strongly advised to deposit him in the coyote feeding area.

    And if you don't smoke this? You could just grill it and go that way, correct?

    Best moose meat hauling frame pack?

    Barney's may not be the most comfortable, but it handles the weight better than my KUIU did. That said, both got the job done.

    Archery Classifieds Thoughts?

    at the risk of being whiny, I'd love to see a guns only classifieds, and another for ammo and reloading supplies. Kinda sucks doing a search for a specific gun and getting all the brass and ammo options.

    300 WSM mono?

    I know the Barnes 180 grains are deadly .Had a buddy kill a muley in 2022 with the hollowpoint version and I was able to dump a moose on the spot with the blue tips last fall. I killed a muley with my 7RM 150 om the same bullet. It worked, but I don't think I got the expansion I would have with...
