    257 weatherby or 300 win mag

    Yes moose was probably already going to die. Hard to tell whether or not it was hit. My first Alaska moose was going to empty Mag until it was laying dead. My point was that of the exit wounds between the two calibers the larger gun was way more devastating. Behind the front shoulder body...

    257 weatherby or 300 win mag

    Personally shot an Alaska bull moose. Used a 300 Wby with 180 partitions 3 good hits. Buddy who I was hunting with who lives there was using 338 Win mag 250gr partitions he also put 2 rounds in the animal. Weren’t taking any chances on letting it get away I guess. Showed little signs of hits...

    .270 Elk bullet choice - 145 ELD-X or 130 GMX?

    Another gmx vote here. Really not even close in my opinion. Barnes would be better. Check out monos vs lead on the tube. Bunch of New Zealanders testing expansion. Or just google. Not giving up much if anything. Maybe accuracy depending on rifle?

    Strange pressure, Hells canyon armory barrel problem

    Not certain of course but sounds like you have excessive headspace. Get yourself some chamber casting alloy. Doesn’t cost much. Load dummy round in chamber push cleaning rod into muzzle make a mark where it hits. Remove both. Insert rod with tight patch a little farther than mark on rod...

    Fierce Firearms long range school

    Sounds like a great time. Thanks for sharing did you happen to bring the hcr along as well? One thing I realize doing long is that I do way better with high magnification. Everything is Rem to read is 10 is more than enough for 1000. Not my cup of tea. I like seeing my own impacts through the...

    Bull pac

    Bull Pack frame with rocky pack attached Wondering how many of you have had or has one and still uses. Are the newer popular brands that much better. I understand technology changes can make major improvements on certain products. I used it last in 2006 in Alaska moose hunting. Had success and...

    How are people affording these crazy home prices?

    Most definitely it is. I could make the payment also and be house broke. Hope I like the paint color in my living room. I’d say the majority of people who can easily swing a million dollar house shouldn’t have much to complain about either. Unless it stretches them to upper limits then maybe...

    What's your butchering setup look like?

    Hobart mixer and slicer. LEM 3/4 big bite knives dexter or forsner manual stuffer, large and small hdpe cutting board. Butcher shop style gambrel. Chain hoist from 12’ ceiling. Sawzall and propane torch pretty much sums it up. Also favorite seasonings probably most importantly.

    How are people affording these crazy home prices?

    I’m confused at the fact that all of us outdoors people feel the need to be confined to a big city to earn a higher income to live in a more expensive house. I’d much rather own a house that costs less in a more rural area, less crime, enjoy no traffic jams Know my neighbors/community, let...

    Suggestions for base and rings?

    One extra note. I paid $54 directly from Talley. Called and spoke with someone. Rails are super nice for swapping between guns but also seems to raise cheek weld more than I like. Have plenty both ways so I wouldn’t worry too much. Nx8 was shortly out when I purchased so was a bit of a guess...
