First of all I was mistaken about Sierra offering a .30 cal. blitzking, which they do not. I have always been a big fan of Nosler bullets, and I have seen the proven reults on game from a variety of calibers. Kirby I think your lessons for the young girl were awesome. Many people "psych"...

I would reccommend using a polymer tipped bullet. I love the nosler ballistic tips and have killed more game with these bullets than any other out there. The polymer tip will initiate expansion even out past 350 yards. Sierra blitzkings are pretty much the same thing if you don't like nosler...

In a typical year, if I have the time... I shoot about a thousand each out of my .220 swift, 22-250 Ackley, and .204's at nothing but gophers, praire dogs, and rock chucks. Probably another 500 rounds out of various "medium" calibers, and hopefully 1000 rounds with the heavy magnums. I try to...

I agree that the .308 is a great cartridge and has killed a lot of game animals. I simply believe in simply physics above all else. I think that the .30-06 cartridge has killed more elk than any other cartridge in the world, however I would not take a shot on big game out past 6-7 hundred...

In my opinion the .308 win/7.62x51 mm is extremely undersized for big game hunting out past 350-400 yards. Don't get me wrong it is a great paper puncher out in the half mile distance, however it simply doesn't have the downrange energy to put a whollup on an elk, mule deer or even a whitetail...

I am new to the LRH site and I've seen a lot of talk about 300 ultras, but I can't find anybody else shooting a .30-378 Mark V. I've had this rifle for about 6 months and finally settled on a load for it after a lot of trial and error, from trying 5 different powders and bullet combos. There...

Fall 2010: I shot my bull elk at 87 yards. I also shot a whitetail doe at 110 yards. I used a Nikon 550 rangefinder for both shots. I shoot a 2004 model BowTech Extreme VFT with Axis XT 300 arrows, Muzzy 100 grain 3 blades, and a "standard" 8 pin sight from Montana BlackGold. Travis

The advice above is very accurate and proven. If you need any more help would be glad to help. I think that "most" people never completely clean their rifle bores. Simply running a brush and a couple patches through it is no where near enough effort. If you want to try an aerosal foam...

I was wondering if you are still interested in using an instructor to improve your shooting skills. I am located in Bozeman, MT and am looking to become a personal shooting coach. If you have any interest please feel free to contact me either through the forum, or at the info listed below...

I was wondering if you are still looking for a course or instructor to improve long range shooting? I am located in Montana, and looking to become a personal shooting coach/instructor. If you have any interest please contact me either through the forum, or by the info listed below. Thanks...

Thank you for your time. Do you have any thoughts about how I can "advertise" or get the word out to people? I think that as shooters we get most of the information by "word of mouth". Maybe there are some people that you know who would be interested? I am located in Bozeman, MT but I would...

This is a new venture for me. I wanted to find out how much interest there would be out there. As far as qualifications, I have been reloading all of my own ammo for 15 years. I shoot gophers and praire dogs past 400 yards whenever I have time. I am a disabled veteran and served in Iraq as a...
