    AR Cartridge for Hunting

    I'm trying to decide between AR cartridges for coyotes/pigs/targets. I was originally thinking of building an AR-10 but that would be heavier and more expensive than building just an AR-15 upper. All of the load data in the attached chart (Except 6mm ARC & 22-250) came from the Lyman AR...

    106 Cartridges Compared

    Hello everyone, Some of you may have seen my original cartridge comparison spreadsheet that had 43 cartridges on it. Since posting that I've continued to work on it and I'm now up to 106 cartridges and a few more comparison columns so I thought I'd just make a new post explaining it. This...

    First Western Hunting Rifle

    Hello all, I'm looking for my first rifle for hunting antelope & deer(maybe sheep?) out to about 600 yards and also occasionally target shooting out to 1000 yards. I'm leaning toward a 6.5 creedmoor but am open to other suggestions. I want it to have a stainless action and barrel and would like...

    Mental Preparedness

    I see many posts on here about physical preparedness for hunts but there isn't much about mental preparedness. You could be in great physical shape but if you can't effectively deal with the mental stress of a hunt it doesn't matter. Does anyone do anything to mentally prepare for a hunt? How do...

I was hoping someone could give me some tips for an upcoming Arizona elk hunt (rifle) I'm going on this November with my father. I've hunted deer, pheasant, coyotes etc. my...
