    Funny you replied right now because I finally got out shooting today. Started with 45gr and it was way under powered. Ended up at 55gr and there was plenty of room to go up. 55gr still leaves a lot of room in the case. Nice to know you are up around 67gr so I’ll probably space out my next loads...

    That’s my dream load! I have eldM in 140 and 147 and I’m saving the 147s for exactly that load. Once I get my hands on some rl26 all I have right now is vitavouri n170 and I think it’ll be a decent powder but even with 55gr I have quite a bit of space left in my cases. Seating depth is just two...

    That’s great information. What bullet were you shooting and how far was the shot?

    Thanks for this data! I’m just starting to load with 140gr eldM and I wasn’t sure how much powder I could use. I started at 45gr and it seems so empty! I did load one with 55gr just to see how much it filled the case but I still have plenty of space in there I can hear the powder like a maraca...

    Rangefinders

    Ok I ordered the Astra OTX1600 last night and Amazon delivered it this morning. Crazy right? This thing is AWESOME. Super light and feels great in the hand. Optical clarity is pretty dang good and the features it packs is incredible. This one actually came with a feature I only though the top...

    Rangefinders

    That’s good to know thank you. I was looking at the 2400 model but if you are getting readings out past 1600 I’d say that’s plenty of range for me! And for $200 you can’t beat it.

    Rangefinders

    A minute late and a dollar short here sorry. Did you end up getting this range finder? I’m in the market for a farther reaching unit and am looking at their 2800 model. Very little information is out there about this brand but I’m putting trust into their great marketing and warranty. First time...

    Elk rifle preference

    You know what, let’s add location to this discussion. I’m in western Washington where the timber is so think you’re lucky to see an elk passed 100 yards and even then shot opportunities are slim and quick. Best case is you spot an animal at the edge of a clear cut. Last elk my buddy shot was 120...

    I hope more people come to understand and accept this. Make your training/practicing as hard as you possibly can do in the field it’s second nature.

    Sitka pant with hip vents

    I couldn’t remember the name but yes the mountain pant is what I was looking at. Went to the sportsman show recently and that was the first time I had put hands on a pair and I really liked them.

    Sitka pant with hip vents

    I’m in the market for some new pants and I’d like the knee pads. I’ve stayed away from them but now I have some work pants with pads and boy does it make life nice! I’ve tried to stay neutral when it comes to brand names but damn I just love Sitka stuff!

    What “luxury” items do you carry on your back?

    I really like this idea. I might need to start packing a journal because you’re right there are so many experiences that you take for granted. But looking back and reading those journal entries would be a very cool thing to do.

    What “luxury” items do you carry on your back?

    I don’t go anywhere without a little a little whiskey or a beer to reward myself, packets of hot sauce because I love spicy food, and my flip flops because at the end of a hard day hikingI want to kick my boots off and relax. Don’t care how many extra ounces I carry if it brings me pleasure in...

    Elk rifle preference

    Oof looks like we’re going to get hostile with the caliber debate! Doesn’t really matter though the bullet will do it’s job as long as I do my job. Plenty of Ballistic tables to prove it and plenty of real world experience to validate it. Everyone has their preference. I also shoot archery and I...

    Elk rifle preference

    I certainly can handle more gun, but I don’t need to. I chose this rifle/caliber for precision long range and hunting everything from coyotes to elk. 6.5 is proven to be effective so I felt comfortable with my choice.

    Elk rifle preference

    Anyone using a 6.5? I bought a CVA Cascade in 6.5 PRC and I’m working up a lot for it. All the ballistic tables show it plenty powerful enough for elk even out to a decent distance I know people who have taken elk with a creed more with great results. Always interesting to get different...

    New guy in PNW/WA

    Living in Battle Ground, WA. Did not grow up a hunter and it wasn’t until about 3 years ago when I left the military I took up the interest. 29 years old with a wife a two kids and career so hunting is just my excuse to get out into the woods a couple times a year by myself. Haven’t taken a...
