    Do Bullets Go To Sleep?

    I did not have time to read all of this but, If not said, I have 2 simple ways to prove concept: 1.Shoot through multiple sheets of very thin paper spaced out. 2. Shoot multiple short and long range groups with a thick rail gun or many varied loads (to eliminate harmonic grouping). The...

    300 RUM or 7mm with 180 bergers at 3000 fps

    I will just add that I do think the 300 barrel will last longer, but for a few hunting shots every year , I will never wear it out. Looking back I wish I had bought a 338 LM for LR. There are so many good reasons to buy one and the fact that it can reach out another 2-300Y past the rums with...

    7mm Remington Ultra Mag

    +1 for 160 Accubonds , Shot faster than expected with good accuracy. +1 for 180 Bergers, Shot slower but, felt they bucked wind better. For hunting and 800-1200Y go with the Accubonds=...if going more get more BC/slower bullet. With the 160's it still feels like a hot rod at 3200-3400fps...

    300 RUM or 7mm with 180 bergers at 3000 fps

    Agreed, This is why I don't push the velocity or heat mine up. Hits just fine out past a mile. Only rifle I own that reaches out further is my 50, The rum very capable:) 200+ Rounds and counting. The only regret is 12lbs 7 Rum Sendero vs my 9lbs 300 WM Sako I take hunting. A few pounds on a...

    300 RUM or 7mm with 180 bergers at 3000 fps

    Dang this thread just keeps going. I pulled my Sendero 7 Rum out for a back up this year.. took two shots at the 200y Bull, 1/2 inch to right and 3/4 inch apart at 2960fps. Nice to know it was still on and consistent should I need it. 85.5G Retumbo, 215m primers 2x fired Nosler brass. About...

    Is it just me? Idaho Elk Time to change?

    Looking at the harvest rates 23% for 2011 and 19% for the two years before. Guess I'm not too far off having seen one bull, and I bet the outfitters with horses really change those odds for us on two feet. Getting clear of other hunters is a tall order on public lands. I still love the...

    VLD (hunting) ?

    Just wanted to give OP something to consider when choosing a VDL. Lots of pros and cons. If fast kill and LR accuracy are your priorities the Berger VDL's are king. Happy Hunting:)

    VLD (hunting) ?

    No offense taken. Just my opinion after seeing the lead everywhere on the targets. Let the shock wave do the damage and not the fragments.

    VLD (hunting) ?

    After seeing the fragmentation of the super accurate Berger VDL's on targets, I would not use em on game I intend to eat because, of lead getting in the blood stream/meat. The lead powder is all over the targets. They do shoot better though. This is just my 2 cents. Try a bonded bullet, like...

    Is it just me? Idaho Elk Time to change?

    I've been hunting in the same Salmon Zone 28b for 7 out of 8 years. I see a few cows every year, saw one bull 4 years ago and buddy shot one that same year...not real high odds if you ask me. I just got back from a 5 day and got the drop on some cows but, no bull. Like to blame the wolfs but...
