    Higher elevation groups

    Flyers suck. They can be a pain to track down since there a lot of things that can create them. I trust you are an experienced reloader and shooter so I won’t thrown out a pile what ifs and distract the post. I know for me that big of a group and a flyer is going to be ammo related issues so...

    Higher elevation groups

    Stability issues have a bit more to do with long range/down range performance as you near the transonic zone and the bullet is slowing down significantly. You'd have to be way out of whack to get a significant group size change. Your flyer is either shooter induced or rifle induced. I had a...

    What is the the most flat shooting cartridge yall can think of?

    204 running 39/40 grainers at 3980 is an easy button. My 15” pistol runs them at 3480. For yotes it’s a simple one for me if I’m not packing my prc.

    Kestrel for LR hunting Q’s??

    I have a couple of kestrels and do not use them much. I am happy with an APP for comps like shooter or AB and yes the kestrel is fine for that, just too slow for hunting for me. For hunting I spent the money on a leica 3200 and cannot see myself ever changing back to a LRF, APP, Bino, meter. I...

    Garmin chronograph

    Not sure how many times I've used mine at this point, A LOT. I decided to try and use it in the field and stuck it my back pack. It's compact and light enough to not be a concern packing while hunting predators and then also taking the time to practice my wind call shots and positional...

    Looking for Respectable Mule Deer Hunt

    Probably should contact my friend for a good hunt that won't stress you too much. He's an idaho outfitter and has an awesome lodge you can stay at.

    How far out will you kill an elk by yourself?

    I don't think the entire area is a no shoot zone, more likely its that spot. Generally where I hunt there is plenty of places that are good, fine, ok, meh, not great, ummmmm, oh thats not going to happen. That could all be in a 5 mile hike. Back to the original post: Solo hunting is a...

    Hornady Brass Opinions

    I don't have a lot of experience with it. I have about 500 pieces between the 6.5 creeds and 6.5 PRC. I have found zero issue with the brass. It anneals differently, sizes very well, and holds up just fine to pressure. In my PRC it shoots the same charge as lapau and adg with same results. H2O...

    BURRIS Eliminator 6 WOW!

    Electronic durability is legit issue for some. Late season hunters in some areas are just tough folks. I hunt all winter for predators and when it’s approaching zero I’m questioning my desire. It doesn’t get that cold here tho. 15-30 is very common and my thermal range finder doesn’t last long...

    BURRIS Eliminator 6 WOW!

    I would hope everyone on here could easily make that shot with a simple lrf range and a ballistic app. Spin dirt at 500 is nothing to be concerned about at all. No more than .25. Some of this is stuff is basic and some people rely way to heavily on gadgets to tell us what to do. For ultimate...

    BURRIS Eliminator 6 WOW!

    Tech is fun. I can see something like this being used on private ranches for sure. As many said, not allowed in certain states. Idaho allows illuminated reticles finally. That’s it. Now what really got me was when ya said, hope you have a good chrono……. I’m gunna go out on a limb and say if you...

    light weight + quiet tripods- is there such a thing ?

    Piles of options but limited on good options. With a tripod you want a wide and sturdy base. Most light tripods have a small base and it introduces a lot of flex when used with heavier rifles. This is why I run a fiesol 3342, arca clamp from RRS, and a 50mm ball head. It’s the lightest unit I...

    POLL - Best do all camo for all hunting

    I primarily now hunt and feel like camo is a nice thing for humans but not important to the hunt. If I am overly serious about a hunt, specifically bow hunting predators, I will ghillie up. Otherwise, camo looks nice hunting, solid earth tones work, and I’m slowly changing out my gear to solids...
