    Adding training weight to KUIU

    just posted this on a specific post in the sheep forum but it gets to the point of the post. I try to do a sheep hunt every summer and i have found that by far the best way to train for a sheep hunt is to hike with actual real weight on your back. All the cardio in the world cant prepare you...

    Getting in sheep hunt shape?

    I try to do a sheep hunt every summer and i have found that by far the best way to train for a sheep hunt is to hike with actual real weight on your back. All the cardio in the world cant prepare you for the extra weight and terrain. best thing i got was the outdoorsmans pack with a weight post...

    Which bullet for deer for 6.5CM inside 400 yards?

    I have had a lot of luck on whitetail with the 140 ELD-M out of the CM. Either me or friends with the same setup in some areas where culling is necessary so quite a bit of volume we have never experienced an issue. Furthest run was 45 yards. Most shots for heart/lung out to 400, i like it better...

    Hey 6.5 guys

    Youre getting some really good advice. at Medium ranges like 5-600yds the extra BC isnt going to get you all that much from a proven 1/4" load. Build your drop chart and practice. Assuming youre diailing in your drops a few extra clicks really wont change much. I rather have a proven 1/4 MOA...

    6.5 wsm

    and yes i know that's a bold statement, but since i view barrels as a component to be replaced when needed ill stand by it. Not to say i don't love my 6.5x284, Creedmoor, 260s, 6.5 wssms and 6,5 x 47 also....

    6.5 wsm

    Great thanks. Let us know how you do with RL-26 or others as they come up. I have become a huge fan of the 6.5WSM and to me for my purposes its the best of the 6.5s

    6.5 wsm

    While i am pretty impressed with the velocities i am getting from H-1000 wint eh 6.5WSM in both rifle and XP handgun format, i am not above trying to squeeze some more out of it. with the newer powders would you be willing to post some starting loads (and perhaps max) and their velocities so...

    6.5 wsm

    I have 3 6.5 wsms 2 in an xp one in a rifle. I find h-1000 best with all of them each shoots a different bullet from 142 SMK 140 vld and 140 amal all with 215Ms great round.

    Amax info

    One of the best if not the bullets out there in my humble opinion. I can always get them to shoot as well or better than anything else. Very forgiving to load for and devastating on deer sized game.

    2700 fps seems slow

    I have a similar problem/issue with a 284 that when packed tot he rim with H4831SC in a very compressed load that the book says i should be getting 2900 out of with 140 accubonds i am getting closer to 2630. This was close to a book max load but i literally was into the neck with the powder...

    Turrets

    Cost and versatility. The turret becomes obsolete if you change the load or put the scope on another gun. I also find that for long range the increments get so small that it's though to dial every distance as you usually see only 100 yard increments. I never got what was so hard or time...
