    Which to choose? 15x binos or spotter?

    I have 10x50 ELs and a ATC. I think it’s the perfect combo, at least for me in the Idaho mountains….I’m also not sure why the 10x50 ELs aren’t more popular. Seems like everyone has 10x42s

    What does a bull track look like?

    What do you mean “you don’t track elk”? I guess me and all the old guys that taught me everything have been doing it wrong lol. I hunt timber mostly, and that’s what you do if you want to kill elk.

    Keep your eyes open for a Meopta Meopro HTR. I saw one in the classifieds recently, but can’t remember where.

    "The Best Killer Elk Rifles from a Guide's Perspective"

    SG Rifle sling on mystery ranch

    It works good MR packs. It would probably work on most other packs as well.

    Speed goats vs match bullets.

    Match bullets buck the wind better. Antelope country can be pretty windy. That’s why I would use them if I ever draw a tag.

    Where is all the .300 Rum Brass.........

    Why would you not want Peterson? You get what you pay for, unless you’re paying for Nosler!

    Hybrid 100V and 6.5 Creed

    I’m not sure what you guys consider temp unstable, but H100 V is at only .78 deg/fps. It’s also the most accurate powder by far in my 300wsm’s with 180 class bullets. I’ll probably try it in my daughters Creedmoor for the heck of it.

    140 or 147 ELD-M in 6.5 Creedmoor?

    It’s just a standard H4350 load. I think 42gr. Very accurate from his Ruger American predator. I bought my daughter the same rifle recently ;)

    140 or 147 ELD-M in 6.5 Creedmoor?

    My neighbor kills a bull and a buck every year with 135gr bergers at 2740 from his 6.5CM. He loves them.
