Truman is still doing work

Well, just got home from antelope with my buddy this year. Hunted wyoming with his cousin and had an absolute blast! Lots of animals, beautiful country, meat in the freezer and wonderful memories. My buddy and I had two doe tags a piece and his wife had one doe tag. I shot my .300 Win. Mag. And...

Here's the difference with everything plugged in.

The reason for the high first shot was probably because I was trying to run the rangefinder, ballistics program, camera and call wind all at the same time. I failed to plug in the -5 to -10 degree slope into the program and we were shooting ESE, plugging both those into applied ballistics would...

Buddy of mine drew an antelope tag here in Colorado, his rifle took a digger before the hunt so I lent him mine and plate camera man. Video turned out pretty good through the Swarovski with the phone scope. Rifle: .300 win mag Rem 700 McMillan A3 Hart 28" 1-9" hunter BR contour Jewell Trigger...

What velocity/energy fo you feel is necessary for elk? Plus, it's not the energy that HIT'S the animal, it's the energy that is TRANSFERRED to the animal that counts. If a FMJ hit's an elk, and punches a pencil hole through, not much energy is transferred, and not a lot of hydrostatic shot. But...

Thanks for the link. Looks like I'll use a 140 VLD or just take the .300

Has anyone used this on game? If so, how did it perform. I just got my 6.5x47 Lapua and developed a load using this bullet and would like to use it for an upcoming trophy MDeer hunt in CO. I'm just curious how it performs on game. If I lack confidence in the 140gr, I'll bring out the .300 winny...

First, if you're killing at 600 yards off-hand, try out for the Olympic team (and take a class in ethics and morals if game is included), especially if you're using a .300 win mag. Second, what loads are you talking about with the 25WSSM? Factory loads? If so, factory loads commonly have...

Is this rifle a steel/paper rifle or do you hunt with it? I refuse to use Alliant powders in anything after the experience I had with their product AND their people. Also, what BC are you using? G1 or G7, and has it been accurate for you? I run the same bullet with the G7 and it has been...

Have to admit, this video was sub-par. I understand the difficulties in filming at 2+ miles; however, this could have been done better. No disrespect to the shooters, hitting that target is something to be proud of. Excellent marksmanship.

Go with a 28" barrel (@ min. go 26") you won't regret it. I push 215 Berger's at 2,900+ with a 28" Hart.

Running the 215 in my win mag with 76.5 grs H-1000, from my 28" Hart, I am getting 2895 fps, ES 12. Shoots like a bat out of hell.
