What to hunt wolves with? They are thick skinned but not anymore than a deer. For me it's not important to drop one in its tracks when the snow's on. A well placed bullet out of a .243 should do the trick. I have a 6-284 and have hunted wolves with the 70 Nosler as well as the 87 grain...

As far as drugging the wolf, it can be quite elusive. Although FWP is not far away, the wolf could be a mile away and in a less traveled part of town by the time a warden or the wolf specialist was on the scene. It could be a loner from anywhere and passing through. It could have been a wolf...

I did read Mr. Lewis's article recently. But something on a related subject. My .17 Rem (standard neck) recently began putting bullets out there that weren't reaching the 100 yard target. (Berger 30 grainers with 25 grains of Varget). I checked for case length and for a burr to no avail...

Nikon Buckmaster 8x rangefinder Trigger is soft and precise, but the clearity leaves much to be desired. Sure like the mode where it ranges nothing within 150 yards. And you're right...the trigger is stiff in the Leica. I've talked to Leica and suggested the triggeer be lightened. Like...

See em occasionally here in Western Montana. Very lathargic. Spooked one once. It ran a few yards, then sat down as if to say, "Now what was I runnin' from?" Have killed probably ten bad ones over the years. Yes, it is a mite (a mange mite). It's my understanding there is at least three...

In answer to the question of loading the 22 Middlested (22/243), are we to assume that everyone is shooting a fast twist rifle? In the event someone may be interested, I will add that I've a 14 twist 27 inch Lilja barrel and am shooting the 50 and 52 grain bullets between 4200 and 4225'/sec. A...

Yep...I do. a pro and a con. When the scope covers come off and I'm ready to shoot, usually any rain/snow or even sun are kept off the lense. But the extension of the scope is just another piece of leverage to bump the scope off with when you might slip and fall in the snow/ice or hit the...

You might try Berger 40s. I believe they hold together at 4600'/sec. Also, they are a custom bullet and accuracy is excellent.
