The matches I RO'd and shot last year, including Arbuckle, the differences between all the creeds and the few 7PRCs and a 300mag was very noticeable.
Hit me up if you have any issues, I'll make sure you're on the list.
270win
140 Berger 3025fps MV
2850ish fps impact on a good sized muley.
Caliber entrance behind shoulder, IIRC onside lung minimally damaged, back half of offside lung vaporized with multiple bullet peices exiting and 8"+ wide of trauma. This deer went 5 steps and piled up in seconds.
You should absolutely come out to the MDT match in Arbuckle. It's a great match. You could shoot skills, shoot one day with the 22cm and one day with the 7-300.
Shifting to the center screw turrets on the standard SS, with a zero stop, is a really nice change IMO. I will be interested to see how the 3-9HD gen2 changes. I must say, if they just have larger turrets/caps and a zero stop, but otherwise remain the same, the Gen1 3-9 with the smaller turrets...
I have both as well. The Winter Trackers have a tighter heel cup and different lacing system that required me to lace up tighter like a traditional boot to lock the heel in more. They still have a large flat toe box and minimal feel but must be worn tighter when climbing. The sole is not as...
I agree. Sent this deal to some friends. For those serious about being an efficient killer with a known good rifle, and who are well practiced, these binos are maybe the best tool you could have at your disposal.
A buddy and I on a pair of whitetail at 100 yards. 168gr ELDM .308 2600ish MV, and 88gr ELDM 22CM 3060fps MV. 168gr spine shot, massive damage to the deer. 88gr neck/shoulder junction, borderline decapitation. Both deer dead on impact. Too much damage if you hit edible meat inside 100 yards.
If you don't mind, can you expand on your IG post about the recent elk that took 4x perfectly placed 30cal A-tips to the chest from one of your guns? In your opinion, why did it take 4x perfect chest shots from your ideal combo to down an elk?
This is not an attack, just genuine curiousity...
I've killed 5 big game animals with the 88s, from 2100-2900fps impacts. In this small sample size, results have been good with all having immediate upset and ~3"+ wounds through animals. I may try the 80g X next just to see/learn for curiosity sake.
As I understand it: The black and green camos were delayed a few weeks by the hurricanes in FL. Black camo were produced first and those are shipping now. Green is next.
Fantastic news if you can make it happen. I was lucky to grab one years ago before they stopped offering them here, otherwise I'd be order #1. But I think you are going to get a lot of interest if word of their availability through UM spreads.
Last few weeks I was hunting in 12-30 degrees with the Tracker ESCs. Going with thicker wool socks helps (I also use the injinji toe sock liners). The Camel wool are definitely the bomb for warmth and breathability. The other trick I found helpful for hunting in cold was swap to Vivo's thermal...
88g ELDM, MV 3060fps.
Muley #1 2596fps impact behind shoulder, through lungs, fragments touched spine resulting in DRT. Baseball+ sized wound through the deer.
Muley #2 2139fps impact. The deer started moving as the shot broke, bullet hit guts. The deer acted sick but started towards a...
