Re: Berger VLD hunting performance? New Zealand, but close enough I suppose! Yes, John Barsness is the gun-writer who has probably done the most to promote the Berger VLD's as hunting bullets and to describe the results of using them while hunting. Everything of his that I've read re the...

Re: Tikka 223 or 25-06 The .25-06 is at it's best as a mid-range, flat-shooting, hunting rifle for deer sized game. I've taken several mule deer, coyotes and a pronghorn antelope with mine. Great hunting cartridge with mild recoil, making it very "user friendly." It burns a lot of powder...

Re: did you work out today? I think that three or four hours on the treadmill would drive me over the edge! Dang! That's pretty impressive, but yeah, I'd go nuts on the treadmill for that long. I've done an hour a few times, and that's more than enough. This morning I hopped on the...

Re: Lets see them bucks! Both tagged via a 115 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip from my .25-06 700 CDL.

Re: SHWW Group Merry Christmas all!

Re: 130 Berger VLD 1- coyote 0 Congrats Jim. Nice shot!

Re: Berger VLD hunting performance? .25-06 with the 115 gr Berger VLD at 3190 fps muzzle velocity. 1:10 twist barrel. Three mule deer. 230 yards, first shot broke his spine, dropped him instantly but didn't kill. A follow up shot from about 100 yards finished him very quickly. Recovered...

Re: Precision Tactical Pre-Grand Opening Sale I just put my paws on one today. It's a great target! Very impressive. Regards, Guy

Re: 950 yd bull elk kill Saw the photo with your elk & rifle and thought: 1. "Wow - What a bull!" Congrats. 2. "Good grief, it's a short action! Probably a .308!" Then I read your story. Nice job on the hunt and on telling all us armchair elk hunters about your efforts. I like my .308 and...

Re: Good Wyoming hunt Thanks guys. Nearest city was Gillette, but we just stayed in the old ranch house. No - that's not the same pronghorn that I shot. I'd filled my tags before I started doing much wildlife photography. Didn't make much sense to me to spend time taking pictures when I...

Re: Shyla scores her first Muley ( long w/ pics) Congrats you two! And a 6mm Remington too... One of my favorites. Guy

Re: 2012 Hunting in Utah Deer/Elk Congrats! Terrific mule deer!

Stayed in a refurbished log cabin from the 1890's. Had a great hunt with some good friends. We all tagged out on mule deer & pronghorn. I managed a 3x4 mule deer at 260 yds, a pronghorn at 160 yards, a coyote at 420 yards, all with my trusty .25-06 Rem 700 CDL & 6x Leupold. Also shot a few...

Re: OK, blew the Rt. sholder Rotator Cuff, now what? Joe - 2007 my right rotator cuff got torn right off the bone. Had surgery, a few complications, but got everything put back together with some pins and such holding. Maybe duct tape and bailing wire too. I was really pretty leery of...

Re: Recovered Bullets-lets see 'em I haven't recovered many bullets from game. Most of the time they go right on through. Typically I hunt with Nosler Partitions or Ballistic Tip bullets. Recovered this one from a mule deer. It was a 115 gr Berger VLD at nearly 3200 fps from my .25-06...
