My criteria for selection begins and ends with what species I will be hunting. Unfortunately with availability constraints I do have to weigh a few options sometimes. Unless I'm hunting small thin skinned game I will invariably opt for a deep penetrating round. TTSX, A-Frame, Hammers, CX and...

Got my elk this morning. Cow calf pair came in to 250yds. Opted for the calf. Already have more than enough meat with the moose so figured I'd go with the veal. :). Couldn't have asked for a better setup from my friends father in law. Had a nice shooting lane at 420yd, and a sweep of a long...

Back into elk terrain.

That's fair. I'm fairly confident her calves will be fine. I have a line that I wouldn't cross when it comes to animals with offspring and these guys cleared it.

The old fella thats been showing me his land was on the ball with his phone when I took my moose. Not long range by any stretch! First shot nicked her heart, second one double lunged her. 140gr TTSX and both passed right through. No surprise at that distance. First moose so I was pretty...

422lbs on the hook.

One species down, one to go.

No dice. Monster of a cow moose with two calves in tow. Spotted her in some bullrushes and of course she was gone by the time we got there. Walked the perimeter and her and the kids spit out the trees on the other end. Glasses them to the next marsh/stand of trees and let them settle...

Play one thwarted, proceeding to play number 2. 🤣

Cow moose spotted, just about to make a play... Will keep posted.

Was set up on the correct shooting lane down into the valley this morning. Had 4 cows and two calves walk though a 15 foot opening at 430 yards but the only shots would have been a broadside calf with a cow behind it, or a straight on cow. Passed on both shots. The old guy that drops into the...

Day 2, no meat hanging yet. Came in on the same herd this morning but I was outplayed. Didn't see a single moose. End of the day I called in a nice 6x6 bull for fun. First time I've ever done that, man what a cool feeling. We had eyes on him the whole time to so we got to watch him her...

Opening morning of cow moose & elk. Found our herd around legal light. Snaked through the trees with my pals father in law and crawled out to a point directly across from the herd while my dad and friend stayed up top with spotting scope and radio. Laid up in the side of the valley for an...

Carbon barrels aren't that new. I had a rifle built a decade ago with a Rock Creek carbon fiber. It sat in my safe until this year. I was doing cold bore load development and checking temps with a temp gun. I was really surprised to find that the inside of the barrel would only raise a few...

I just use the plastic racks inside from the Nosler shells that I shot to get my brass.
