    Bor Lock 270 grain loads

    True enough. My issue was with load development. Consistency with any combination was hard to come by so that leads to using up a lot of components. Cleaning after every shot compounded that. Maybe measuring by weight would solve some of that and Maybe BH would solve some of that but I’m...

    Bor Lock 270 grain loads

    I’m in Colorado too. I shoot the 270 Bor Locks out of my optima with 100 grains by volume of triple 7 with a federal primer. I’m using the factory front sight with aperture rear sight. This gives me 2-3” groups at 100 yards. Not bad considering the front sight covers the bullseye @100. After...

    Best ACTUALLY waterproof gear?

    Look to what the commercial fisherman are wearing for reliable bombproof and waterproof. You won’t want to wear it hunting though. Doesn’t matter what waterproof breathable you buy it is all going to let water in after continuous wear in the rain. To get waterproof and long term durable you...

    Where to cut budget?

    In agreement with you. Living in Colorado for 34 years and observed how the rise of the brand name hunting gear/fashion thing along with u tube has been a huge part of the increased pressure for western tags and the point creep dilemma. Sure I wear some camo, but solids in most cases is fine...

    What Hunting Videos Interest You?

    Exactly! Give us a story about something bigger than the kill shot. These animals are so amazing and so well adapted to survive they deserve more respect than your average video gives them. Every hunt has its own character and unique set of circumstances.

    Everyone is worried about internet forums…but what about them magazines?

    20 years ago My duck hunting spot got outed by a hunting and fishing newspaper. Hasn’t been the same since. I still hunt it but use a different strategy. Plus I have my kids hunting now so it’s a different game. I even got a nasty note on my windshield 2 years ago from a so called former guide...

    Anyone solo backcountry hunting over the age of 60?

    True that about your wife! I started carrying an Inreach. It helps her feel less nervous about the whole scenario.

    Leupold Engineer's Comment on Tracking.

    You would only need to do that if he was 380 going down to 325 is the way I read the recommendation. And then probably only down to 300 or so and then up. It makes sense from a mechanical perspective. No way to manufacture a gear system with no runout at all. The question would be how do...

    Everyday Alternatives to Kuiu Attack Pants and Sitka 90% Pants

    True Werk pants. The t2 ‘s are quite durable and stretchy too. Not too loud for light weight hunting. I wear them for construction work and general kicking around. T1’s are slightly more snug fit and lighter weight for hot weather.
