    Older hunters showing up

    In the limited draw elk area I help in the age of the hunter seems to be increasing because of point creep. Many are from the east and this hunt will be a once in a lifetime hunt, they will never draw again. Most are 50-60 yrs old and some over 70. The guys from the east are always shocked at...

    Elk bullet despair.

    I have friends wondering if they will be able to kill an elk this year because they will have to use less than a premium bullet. I also use premium bullets(Nosler accubonds, Federal ascents) and wish they were easier or even possible to find. Trying to assure them they will be able to kill elk...

    New CA Mesa in 7mm-08

    I recently purchased a CA Mesa in 7mm-08 and went through the barrel break in process. The break in process is a bit tedious and quite time consuming but I like to shoot so it is fine. Having finished the break in process I'm thinking rifle should make a good pheasant gun as it shoots a modified...

    Magnum primers in Standard cases

    I have been shooting a 7mm magnum forever with reloads that use magnum primers. I am now purchasing a 7mm-08 and would like to reload for it. I have plenty of bullets and powder but lack standard rifle primers. Hoping people could offer guidance if I can use magnum primers in my 7mm-08 loads...

    2 lost elk and conclusions.

    This year because I didn't draw any limited entry elk tags (love hunting rut crazed big bulls) I was helping an outfitter friend with his hunters. The first evening we had a hunter who was new to elk hunting in an area we had seen elk that morning. As we watched a sage clearing I continued...

    Is Vibram getting soft?

    I am looking for advice on a boot with long wearing soles. After 7 yrs it is time to replace my Meindl airweights. Before that I used their Ibex boots. Great boots and the leather and seams failed before the Vibram soles. In the past couple of years I have purchased both Lowa and Zamberlan...

    Ballistics question to the long range experts

    I have been hunting with a 7mm Rem Mag forever. I practiced out to 600 yds. and was confident that if I was presented with the correct opportunity I could kill a bull at that distance. Though ready I was always able to close the distance to within 400 yds. I like my 7mm but have decided I want...

    Conservation Permits

    Through the years when it doesn't look like I will be drawn for a tag I will bid on a conservation tag at auctions. The tags give you a chance to hunt some great units and agree or disagree they do contribute a lot of money to conservation projects. Been trying again this year but the tags have...

    Thread arguments

    A couple of years ago I started looking for a new outdoor forum site to follow and stumbled on Rokslide. The old site I followed was losing members I suspect do to members arguing, bickering and name calling. Most threads and members on Rokslide are polite and it's an enjoyable way to spend an...

    Different year- same bullet- different results

    Earlier I posted about an experience I had with the 162 gr. ELDX bullets I used last year on a bull elk. The first bullet at 180yds knocked the bull down and the finisher shot at 5yds didn't finish the job very fast. Neither bullet exited and I found pieces of bullet 18" from the bullet path. I...

    Federal Edge TLR bullets

    Last year I hunted elk with Hornady ELD-X 162 grain bullets in my 7mm. The bull I shot was not a long distance from me when I shot, he went down but he required another bullet. Neither exited or made it to the skin on the other side of the hit. I feel a more rugged bullet would probably fit my...

    MN guy

    Probably should have introduced myself a few months ago. I started looking at different forum sites when the one I was enjoying(MM) lost it's civility. To much bickering back and forth. This site seams more courteous. Each year I try to spend a couple weeks in the mountains of the west somewhere...

    How far is to far?

    This thread could be part of the "Long Range" thread but all opinions are helpful. A recent magazine article described new rifles designed to appeal to the long range hunters. It seems most manufacturers have noticed this interest and are building rifles claimed to be long rangers. To be honest...

    Cabelas and Meindl

    Just now looking at the Cabelas website hoping to spend gift cards. I was hoping they had a pair of Meindl boots to replace a pair that is finally giving up the ghost. Their selection was limited and it almost felt like they may be quitting the Meindl line. I have always wore either Meindl or...

    Hornady ELD-X

    After watching the long range hunt shows I decided to try the sleek Hornady 162gr. ELDX in my 7mm RM. I have been fortunate to be able to hunt elk each year with some pretty good tags in my pocket. My usual bullets to use on bulls have been the 160 gr. Nosler Accubond and Parition. I don't have...
