Dall Sheep has always been my pinnacle animal, but I don't think it would be the dream others would be, and doubt I'll have the money for it or would be willing to pay it even if I did. My current dream, because I think its attainable for me, is the poor man's slam, all 5 species of N. American...

And probably got that flinch fully developed too!😁

2 cents. Get’em a 223/5.56, buy the cheapest ammo you can find and let them shoot until their eyes bleed. Teach them how to kill effectively with it. Put the 6.5 creed in the safe and when they get bigger pull it out.

7wsm, it's everything nothing else was, or is!

Frog4aday has the right philosophy regardless of what calibers you end up using.

I really don't understand the fascination with dropping game in their tracks. Although there are some rare instances where it can really matter, I absolutely don't mind if a deer runs out of sight. Tracking is one of the great experiences of hunting. With a good shot, I've never had one go too...

True, but if we get a big enough caliber......

Haven't killed a deer with a .243 in 30 years, gonna try to get a couple does in the 400yd range. Probably use the .260AI for buck. Then maybe a doe with the 6.5 Grendel. Hopefully next year the 25 Gargoyle will be complete!!

I've yet to find a bullet that wasn't lethal. Lucky I guess.

.243 + .034 = .277 .277 + .031 = .308 Mathmatics says .243 will balance out your arsenal!!

I don't really have any advice for my younger self. I did the best I could with what I had, not that i did everything right, but that's the journey, the learning process, that's what's memorable, stupid mistakes and all, that's what I appreciate now. Still trying to do as much as I can when I...

That’s not what I said. Every bullet out there has multiple horror stories and supporters who swear by them. In every situation there are variables that nobody including the shooter is aware of, which is why so many shots defy explanation. We play the numbers game and “I” think the numbers...

...definitely do the job!

just picked up some 135 classics for my 260AI, the 130VLD'S worked great. It would defin

it wouldn't be my first choice either, but the evidence out there is overwhelming that BT's are flat out killers, and I've used them myself many times. It's funny, you don't need accuracy or penetration with them, and they still kill, ask me how I know!
