Closest shot I’ve missed! I’ve killed lots of deer with bows, black powder & rifles inside of 10 yards. But this one deer… There is a story here: I had just returned from an elk hunt in Colorado where I shot a bull in the neck at 450 yards - (totally a God thing). Friday night the day...

550 yards on this 7 year old freak Idaho bull Elk with 300 RUM. He was a stag - No testicles, so he never lost velvet or horns.

Caliber aside, you want to be able to shoot at least a 180 grain bullet to have enough energy out past 600-700 yards so that limits your choices. Start at 7PRC and go up. The 300 WIN MAG is probably the best overall choice for ample assortment of factory rounds and the ability to hand load to...

My friend’s 6.5x284 from Apache Rifle Works in Comfort TX. I shoot it regularly. .25 MOA at 600 yards confirmed, hand loads developed myself. Unbelievable tac driver!

Just an ole man running the last half of his journey with no regrets!

Absolutely Awesome! I see you are in the Hill Country - Me too! We shoot almost monthly at our ranch outside of Blanco.

I would think that inconsistent neck tension will result in "springing" or compression of the case resulting in a 0.001 or maybe a little more difference in measurements at the ogive. Just a thought.

Welcome! This is one of the most helpful sites I've found. I am sure you will enjoy it!

I always check zero before I hunt in the mountains for several reasons: 1. Traveling with weapons can result in damage to optics or mounts 2. Elevation and temperature changes can result in different POI 3. Knowing for sure the POI just before riding up the mountain helps stabilize the nut...

I shoot the Timney Calvin Elite at 1.3 lbs. (that's where it ended up) in my 7 Mag. I have bench rifles with much lighter triggers that I cannot even feel the break. But in the hunting scenario - excitement, cold numb fingers, etc - I would prefer to have it where I can detect the pull. I...

I’m about 20 miles from you. Seeing all these Texas guys on here we ought to think about getting together sometime!

Good morning! I’m 40 miles south of Houston! Lol! Welcome!

I got a Tika T3x Lite Veil Woodlands a few months back. Sub MOA with factory Seira 168 Match kings I love the rifle!

Why LR? Several years ago I started working with vets wounded in our recent wars when Mossy Oak came to our ranch to film two of our events. I was immediately addicted to this cause when I had the honor to guide Col. Larry Gerlach (google him) on a Rio Grand Turkey hunt in remembrance of the...

But that's the point isn't it - to know where that cold bore shot going? If I stop at a 5 shot 1 MOA group at 100 yards and my cold bore adds 1/2" to the equation that could equate to as much as 9" at 600 yards. That is out of the kill zone for many animals. Bring that down to 1/2 MOA group =...
