    Best cartridge for mono bullets on elk under 600 yards?

    I actually started looking at the 338s, but got an x bolt max in 300 win mag 1:8 twist that I I’m gonna try loading with 212 lrx bore riders. Will have to single feed because of overall length but the number are impressive if it will group with those.

    Forster coax press overall length limit

    Brand new to reloading, I have a 1:8 twist browning x bolt max 300 win mag and want to try the 212 lrx bore rider which Barnes load data has at 3.975 COAL. I know I will have to single feed these because magazine length. Ultimate reloader on YouTube said the max for the coax press was 3.97. I’m...

    What Ti pro muzzle brake for Kimber hunter 6.5 Creedmoor

    Shot my Kimber hunter pro 6.5 creed for the first time today. Tried without a muzzle break and then with the radial brake that came with it. Couldn’t really notice a difference in recoil. I know the ti pro brakes are some of the best at reducing recoil and would like to try one out. Probably a 3...

    Kimber 84 hunter picatinny rail

    Warne Two piece bases or the pic rail? Kinda disappointed the screws for my warne rail came messed up. Just ordered a Talley rail that should be here Monday and will probably just return the warne.

    Kimber 84 hunter picatinny rail

    Well I ordered the warne and the screws they shipped with it are all messed up. Burrs and damaged thread. Just sent them an email to see if they can get me new screws.

    Kimber 84 hunter picatinny rail

    Anyone have a recommendation for a rail for a Kimber 84m. Looks like Nightforce discontinued theirs. I’m finding egw, leupold, tally, warne mountain tech. Will be mounting a NXS 2.5-10x42. Already ordered nightforce a118 low rings.

    Best cartridge for mono bullets on elk under 600 yards?

    That screenshot was from Barnes website. That’s what they have under their factory load. But you’re right if you just go to the 190 lrx bullet it’s .541.

    Best cartridge for mono bullets on elk under 600 yards?

    I want to lean for the 6.5 PRC because it seems like it has been adopted and ammo is pretty available now and it’s a sexy newer cartridge, but based on these numbers from Barnes the ole .270 is faster and has more energy.

    Best cartridge for mono bullets on elk under 600 yards?

    If the brake helps that much it sounds like that’d be the direction I’d go. Only concern is the factory Barnes lrx is 1999 at 600 yards. I’ve read some people recommend staying above 2200 for optimum performance or maybe 2000 at the minimum.

    Best cartridge for mono bullets on elk under 600 yards?

    I should have added I want to get something with less recoil so I can spot my shots. Would like to be able to see where exactly I hit the animal.

    Best cartridge for mono bullets on elk under 600 yards?

    If you were going to shoot mono bullets on elk what cartridge would you pick? I’ve been looking at Barnes lrx in 6.5 prc or .270win. Another optioning I’ve been considering is getting a 6 creed for deer and down and a 7 or 300 win mag or another big caliber for the elk. I’ve killed two elk and a...

    Wall tent. 12x15 vs 14x15 Fly or not?

    I’m usually solo or with one other person, rarely 3 people total and very very rarely maybe 4. Looking hard at the Davis antelope package 12x15. Or would you spend the extra $200 or so to get a 14x15. Would I be better saving that $200 to put toward a cook shack down the road or get the vinyl...

    Utah makes it unlawful to report deadheads through April 30th.

    Rockhounding is gaining in popularity. My sister went a few times last year. You could even name it Rokhounding

    Utah makes it unlawful to report deadheads through April 30th.

    I admitted I disagree with the closure. And my main gripe is the wording “gathering”=“locating”. How are you gonna say only 5% of me cares. I posted this topic to have a conversation about this issue. I wanted peoples thoughts before interjecting mine and then I did and some how that’s me...

    I think shed hunting is a little different than hunting an actual animal. Are you going to start advocating we have to buy a shed hunting license and only be able to pick up 1 a year?

    Are complaining and trying to understand mutually exclusive? And no I don’t complain about cougar hunters and hikers and bikers and skiers because I believe people should be able to do those things. I would never advocate closing those. I’m more libertarian on a lot of these issues. I never...

    I forgot people are only allowed to like one type of outdoor recreational activity.

    Why does the dwr allow cougar hunting and turkey hunting before may 1st? They have authority to close that and if they cared about the animals wouldn’t they postpone those seasons also? I’m sorry if I’m straw manning anything. Can you put your self in a shed hunters shoes and see how they feel?

    We’re complaining because February 7th by decree one of our favorite pastimes became illegal for the next 3 months. Are people not allowed to complain about that? What should we have done before that?
