    300wsm reloading help

    Thanks for the replies. I really appreciate it! I do not own a chronograph so the whole SD/ES thing is out for me (well actually I own a piece of &^%t one that I use to test arrow speed for my hunting bow). I would purchase one but out of my budget range right now. All about hunting right now...

    Anyone using Leukotape for blisters?

    I have used Leukotape quite a bit in the past and I must say that the stuff stays on as long as you want it to and it does work. One word of caution - I left it on once for 4 days and developed a rash under the tape. I guess I had a minor reaction to the adhesive so now I always take it off at...

    Do you use a light daypack for hunting?

    LiteHiker For most of Eberlestock packs I totally agree with you. The one exception is the Mainframe pack because all it is a pack frame and then add the zip on duffel and you have one hell of a lite pack that can haul quite a bit of weight. By comparison my Kifaru mountain warrior pack is...

    Altitude mask while training?

    You can always try the sleep systems made by Hypoxico. They are not cheap, but several of my clients use them before we go on high altitude expeditions to South America and they swear by them.

    Extending temp. Range of sleeping bags

    I have had good results using the Sea to Summit Thermolite® Reactor Extreme Liners to extend the range on my 20 degree Sierra designs sleeping bag while hunting elk this past september to october. That will also be the system I will be using down in Mexico while guiding the volcanoes this January.

    Suppressors are silly...........oh wait.

    My business partner has actually offered to add me to his trust which apparently is legal, but still doesnt seem practical since I would have to travel out of state to shoot the dang thing! I practice quite a bit before hunting season. I dont know. I will have to think about it some more. Thanks...

    Suppressors are silly...........oh wait.

    I live in CA unfortunately where I cant even own one, but I was told I could own one as long as it was in another state. Not worth the hassle since the only other state I hunt in is MT and I cant use one for hunting in that state.

    Suppressors are silly...........oh wait.

    Hey guys a quick question on suppressors. I hunt in some pretty rough terrain and usually put at least 6 miles under my feet daily. I love my mountain gun in 300 wsm but the recoil sucks! What do suppressors typically weigh and would it be worth hauling it around in the mountains? My gun right...
