I would visit a good physical therapy place and describe what you are trying to do. By other suggestion is to get some good hiking sticks. I was never a fan until this year. The benefits I noticed were: Walked faster. Less impact on feet and knees. Can be used as a shooting stick. Lessened...

I had a similar experience shooting 200 ABs in my RUM. I'm not near my notes but the load is about 93 grains of retumbo. It was probably in the high teens the day mine happened. Broke the bolt off the gun and eventually took it to a Smith. They unscrewed the barrel and everything was just...

I have been using the Swift Scirroco bullet in 150 grains with RL22 since probably 2002. It's always shot well out to 300, staying close to 1moa depending on the shooter and how dirty my barrel gets. I've killed elk out to 550 with good expansion and also at 100 yards with the bullet hitting...

I hate auto correct ****...

Ok my set up is similar. Almost 20 years in second season. Long sleeve blaze orange from game hide. I have two or three. Cartharts if its really dry but usually I wear uninsulated water proof/resistant that are camo. I then wear a very light compression morning underneath if it is in the...

7-08 AI, Browning A bolt1, wood stock, 140g Nosler AB @2950. Usually shoots 1/2-3/4".

We don't process or meat until we drive back from CO. we put it in the bottom of our horse trailer and insulate it with bags, blankets and gear. Never had it spoil. I've seen several guys with flat bed trailers put their freezer right in the trailer and freeze their meat after the cut the...

Make sure to properly lube your brass. My best loaf with the 180 VLD was with Retumbo at 75 grains.

I was too. Then I tried it and was surprised.

This is what I use in mine. 71 grains behind a Nosler 180 AB in a factory A bolt. 1/2 moa. Just a suggestion. But I've been shooting STW at 100 yards and then moved out to 300. It was around 1 moa at 100 but it shots 1/2 @300. I tried 600 yards and the wind kind of screwed me.

Re: Copper Foul Try the JB first. On my barrels it's put them into a condition that helps keep them clean.

So good news. I loaded up more off the H4350@50 grains pushing a 140 AB. Average was 2950 fps and less than 3/4" group. The gun does kick a little harder but accuracy and velocity have improved. My wife ended up killing her first buck with it and she said that it barely kicked...lol

I've done almost all my rifles and when properly done, it makes a significant difference. It's not difficult and only costs around $25. Good decision to have it bedded. For one of my rifles I decided to make my own pillars for the front and back of the action. It took most of the day and a...

I guess we use them for travel and packing, sometimes we just lead them if we think their are lots of animals in the area.
