    Favorite 6.5 PRC bullet for elk?

    Only elk I've shot with a 6.5 was with a 6.5x06 and 140gr Hornady interlock. All bullets exited. range from about 200 yds on one and around 150 on the other two. If I do it again it]ll be with a 140gr Speer Hor Core.

    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    Yes I have. I have said a number of time's that I think the small 22 can do the job but I never encourage someone else to try it unless I'm pretty sure who I'm talking to.

    Yes I have. I have said a number of time's that I think the small 22 can do the job but I never encourage someone else to try it unless I'm pretty sure who I'm talking to. Tis thread doesn't seem good to me. Mostly people that want to pound their chest about how good they are.

    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    Can't read it but, I agree smaller caliber's can be better. I say that because many people go out and get some huge magnum to shoot a deer with even though they can't handle the recoil. People like that are better off with a smaller cartridge they can shoot. But at some point the drop down in...

    7 PRC Brass shoulder measure changing?

    When I shot the 7mm Rem Mag I had trouble with splitting the case head. Found out a problem with magnum case's is they headspace on the belt, not the shoulder. Could be your cases are made to spec but the rifle has a sloppy chamber. At .004" do you feel the shoulder rubbing when you close the...

    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    I think you are probably right but most people don't need to would a dangerous animal to realize they are probably under gunned. Then to there are probably those that do realize it but know how to place the bullet to get it to work. Only problem with that is whet the guy doesn't place the bullet...

    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    Maybe, just maybe he does have a good idea. 223 will kill most anything but, BUT, for most things there are better options. Maybe he's figured that out.

    Poacher

    No it wouldn't. Nice prison time would be better. poachers do it because they don't believe they'll get caught!

    Figuring out how to enjoy life

    I made pretty good money in my working life but made it driving road trucks. For the most part I was lucky to get home a day or two every few months. I can't imagine a worse life anymore. On the up side, I don't get a great S.S. check but alone anymore and have learned to live on it. Actually...

    Figuring out how to enjoy life

    Sounds like my stepdad. In his youth he was a lifeguard and seen photo of him back then, he was fit. But he went to making money and seemed nothing else mattered. His ting for taking time off and doing something was to go to Las Vegas gambling. In his late 50's when he died and really bad...

    recording hunts

    I think what people wanting to take photo's on hunts should do is decide if your going hunting o photographing. I have a P&S I bought just to carry around running my dogs. My DSLR was simply to bulky to handle the camera and dog tools. Now I can go out and if I get a photo I want, put away the...

    First Brown Bear

    Wow! 20 yds from a live wild Brown Bear with a bow! I'd read years ago that Fred Beat had stopped a cape buffalo charge with a bow, living in nothing but guts!

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    Doesn't surprise my other than the Hornet bullet is pretty light weight. I think that's a place where it may well work but there are better choices. What do you call exceptional accuracy? Shooting out of the bed of your truck might not be the best place to shoot from. And was this a standard...

    Moving to Oregon from CA

    Two places I really hate going in Oregon are Bend and Portland, I don't go to Portland at all anymore. Only reason I go to Salem is I have family there otherwise it would be out also. Haven't been to Springfield/Eugene in years and don't miss it! Went to my brother's in Salem on time and sitting...

    2024 DIY Muskox in July

    I know a lady in Arizona did a Musk Ox hunt in the N.W. Territories some years ago. She claimed it was the best meat she ever ate!

    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    No one wants to waste meat? Go back up and look at the photos! See you live in Wasilla. Lived there about a tear myself. Also lived in Rainbow about a year, about two miles back behind Scatter's bar.

    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    You might be right but I have seen the difference between the 100gr bullet from the 243 and the 117gr bullet from the 25-06, have used both! I'll take the 25 cal bullet!
