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

    Hey guys, I don't know if anyone is looking for loaded 77tmk but I found some on cmp made by creedmore sports. I called them and they use sierra tmk bullets and load it a little bit lighter than Black hills but they believe that it does not have that big of a difference...

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

    Thanks to you guys, I shot my second and third deer with 223 on the first day of MI gun season. Factory 73 eld-m at about 200 yards. First one went both shoulders and dropped it instantly. Second one was a quartering shot going through lungs and breaking offside shoulder. That 1 went 100 yards...

    1 rifle/cartridge for everything incl coyotes

    If you're intending to stay with 30-06, you should determine if you are keeping the hides or not. If not, you could just run with the bullet you have the most experience with as you'd know the drop for it. If you are looking for a new rifle/bullet combo, try looking at the .223 thread. They are...

    Gun for Elk Hunting in Thick Timber

    If you're looking for a semi auto but don't want an ar, you could always try a Remington 7400,742,7500 or something in that line. Semiautomatic, calibers such as 30-06, 308 and 35 whelen. Also, was your 3x15 ffp or sfp? With ffp scopes like that, you could run a piggyback dot if the reticle is...

    Ok, thanks. Now would you guys rather hunt Michigan deer with factory 73 eld-m or AAC 77tmk?

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

    Hey guys, has the quality of the aac 77tmk improved or is it still so so? I have seen some people say that the quality is horrible and I'd rather stick to 73 eld-m if that is true. Also, has anyone ever tried the pmc 77 otm's?

    Grebe identification

    Hey guys, I am a new duck hunter in Michigan. I am seeing lots online about people shooting grebes when they can't but I can't find much on how to id them while hunting. The only things I see are regarding the beak shape and that they don't really fly. Do you guys have any tips?

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

    First deer down with .223. Shot her this morning in Michigan's early doe season. Factory 223 73 eld-m at 128 yards. Took a higher quartering away shot due to the hill I was on and went through both lungs, somehow had fragments hit the spine and still broke through ribs to pass through. Died...

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

    Thanks guys, is this the same 73 grain eld-m you guys use or is there a different type? If so, I'll pick some up and send some pics if I shoot anything. https://www.luckygunner.com/223-rem-73-grain-eld-hornady-match-20-rounds#reviews

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

    Hey guys, long time watcher, first time poster. I am getting ready for deer hunting in Michigan especially with early antlerless right around the corner and I have a few questions. As I am unable to reload, what 223/5.56 loads would you recommend for Michigan deer with the 77 Tmk shortage? Would...
