Actually not too bad in the wind once I realized my 7RM scope is mils and my 6.5 scope is moa. Mil to mil isn’t off too bad with my mellow loads in eldm to eldm.
I picked up a 6.5 cm just for barrel and component life and availability and yet still CO big game legal. I’m already on my 12th reload on my first set of cases and I can’t seem to get past 7 on my 7RM. I’m fine hunting with it, but it still can’t hold a candle to my 7RM with wind drift at...
Reloading components for the long game
You can still shoot like you always have without a Rokstock or a can or a scope you can drop on the ground multiple times
You can’t train to hunt or hunt with dwindling components because of the next unplanned world crisis that everyone will blame what...
Harvest rate data is over rated. Invest limited resources in the surveys that matter.
Rightly so, tag allotments are adjusted for survival rates not from self absorbed hunter harvest rates but winter survival and potential recruitment through the spring. Winter range surveys are your most...
I’ve only put on two prefits and I was no where near the cost in this post. Maybe inflation has changed the price, but I’m not hunting sparrows at 600 yards or shooting at a range where my groups or rifle costs are a matter of pride. I’m probably a year out from needing another barrel. For a...
Having automatic input at the press of a single button and ballistic solution at the same time seems simpler. Is that not possible with RF binos with onboard weather information or are you saying it’s inaccurate. I thought that was there selling point
Thanks for the info
As I look at all the scratches on the lenses my old Leica LRF and the realization that it doesn’t slope compensate past 560 meters, I was considering a set of bino RF with weather and ballistics all on board. A separate kestrel weather unit wasn’t really what I was hoping...
I left town two days ago for some high angle shooting. As I was driving I hit my local weather on a Lapua ballistic app just in case I couldn’t get any stations where I was shooting. I had an air pressure reading in the 29 range. All winter my usual readings are in the 21-22 range. So a what the...
This time of year it looks like this
If I’m driving to relatively flat sage country I have a 3 leg folder that I can use rocks or tie off to keep the wind from knocking it over
It seems odd that a lab would just do this type of work, kind of freelancing genetics. Makes a person wonder what other labs are doing for a person with a checkbook. If I only had some Irish Elk DNA and unlimited financial resources, wolves be damned.
It’s been years and I never got another one. She was the best dog of all the dogs I’ve had in my life and I don’t realistically expect any other dog to measure up.
On the bright side it has freed me up for scouting , hunting and vacationing in any terrain at any time unencumbered with the...
Excellent information right before BLM locks up all the access roads for mud season. Definitely makes me question why I’ve been shooting my rifle so much with such low probability first hit rates in novel environments. Perfect excuse to just shoot the bow now instead of burning up all these...
I tried the FL years ago and had a serious condensation event where it was low exertion and I had a puffy on under the jacket. I moved on. Maybe they’re better now.
I tried the Kuiu years ago and I had soak through issues. I still use it as a towny jacket, but I moved on. It was the lightest...
I have both wool and poly. I have no odor issues with the poly and I think they dry faster. Go for what you think is most comfortable for you. I usually wear the same shirt all week biking to work sub zero to over heated snow removal equipment to out in the cold fixing equipment. The key...
