With monos it’s not about penetration it’s about tissue damage and wound channel. With a 100% weight retention bullet it’s going to penetrate. With the barnes I’ve found you need a light for caliber bullet weight and push it hard or the wound channel sucks. Hammers because they shed their petals...

Yes I have graduated from deer hunter to head guide, cook and deer skinner. It’s a very rewarding job. I think I made about 6 hunts myself last year and managed to kill two decent bucks.

We had one for a while. Great little camp vehicle. Our was a little cold natured and could be hard to start on cold mornings. Ultimately we needed something with more room to ferry all the grandkids around.

I think he means slower as in lower velocity not burn rate. H4831 has been about 100 fps slower than R 26. I have some R23 but have been reluctant to try it as I have not seen any on shelves in a while.

I inspect mine before loading. That is a rarity for Lapua. But stuff happens. On the cheaper brass I may ream the flash holes but honestly there is no way in heck the average shooter is going to see any measurable difference.

The regular 270 has killed a lot woods deer. The wsm will be fine unless you just want a shorter handier rifle. 130 gr Nosler Accubonds have killed everything we’ve shot with it. Not many have taken a step including a 300 lb mule deer. With the right bullet it will kill an elk just fine.

300 prc.

Smk’s were the bees knees before everyone jumped on the Berger bandwagon.

Same powder? Try another powder. How far off the lands?

I think one thing often missed is this is federal PUBLIC land in many cases. It’s paid for with money from the PUBLIC not just residents yet residents act like they own it. Oh wait non residents can no longer go to see the grand canyon or they have to pay more. I get it’s a finite resource with...

So how do they know he consumed cwd infected deer? Or did he just eat deer in an area where cwd was present?

If you can get your hands on some R26. It’s 100 fps faster than any powder I’ve tried.

One trick is to bring a cooler load it with clothes on the way in. If you kill put the meat in it frozen and ship your clothes back ups. Some guys I know who party hunted in CO did this. They all brought 48 qt ice chests and usually it was enough to ship boned meat back. 4 guys hunting public...

Yes and if your load has an es of 75 you know it’s going to be bad and your wasting your time. Thats what a chrono will do for you. There is no excuse in todays world not to have one. If your going to spend several thousand dollars on a high end rifle build you can afford a chrono.
