    Updrafts, & Downdrafts

    Re: Updrafts, & Downdrafts During an elk hunt this last season I got in a spot that I could visually see the down draft due to a light snow and I took some time to put some notes down for that particular spot. It is quite common effect in the area I elk hunt due to the lay of the land and the...

    Range Report Barnes TSX as a long range bullet?

    Re: Barnes TSX as a long range bullet? The TSX requires to much speed to do a good job at long range on game IMO, I use them inside point blank range for the most part, I do shoot the 110 TTSX out quite a ways with my 270 WSM but I launch it fast enough that it's GTG to 800yrd with small game...

    Hunting & Fishing wildlife tech or foxpro?

    Re: wildlife tech or foxpro? You should see what a coyote does when you flip on a wolf howl when he is standing over the caller looking at it, they perty much turn inside out! It's amazing how far you can pull wolves, that howl carries like none other!!

    Hunting & Fishing wildlife tech or foxpro?

    Re: wildlife tech or foxpro? I didn't think that sound quality was nearly as big an issue till we started using the WT and we started pulling in older dogs from a lot farther away. Our call in percentage went way up as well and our shot range came in so close that we've had to make some...

    Hunting & Fishing wildlife tech or foxpro?

    Re: wildlife tech or foxpro? After using the Wildlife tech for three years you couldn't give me a Fox pro again. It's all about sounds and the quality at the higher volume and Fox pro don't hack it!! I have to use a lot of volume in my country to pull coyotes and at full volume the sounds...

    My 1000 yard dope was off while hunting "(HELP)"

    Re: My 1000 yard dope was off while hunting "(HELP)" So if you we're holding at her knees and hitting her in the lungs that should be around 2.5 ish MOA high, that's a bunch!!! An up draft on the face the elk is on will not account for that much, you would need a serious up draft near to the...

    My 1000 yard dope was off while hunting "(HELP)"

    Re: My 1000 yard dope was off while hunting "(HELP)" I've found this very interesting, I've been taking game in the 800-1000yrd range this year, nearly identical elevations as you and I've had two misses this year. This year I'm only taking cold bore shots, if I miss #1 they get to live and I...

    Rangefinder 1000 yard 20" targets

    Re: Rangefinder 1000 yard 20" targets The main reason any Bushnell range finder will range as far as a Swaro or anything else for that matter is the beam divergence is the largest I have been able to find, try 4 mrad by 2 milad which means you can bounce the beam of just about anything but...

    Nobody ever talks about levels, why?

    Re: Nobody ever talks about levels, why? After getting a level set up on my rifle I won't roll without one! In the areas I shoot I found my self setting up and thinking I was good but the level was saying a different story, tuns out my wind calls are better than I thought. Just another tool...

    338 Norma Mag barrel length?

    Re: 338 Norma Mag barrel length? What's the average velocity that guys are seeing with the 26-28in barrels with a 300gr bullet? I have talked with the guys at Brux and they recommended a 1-9.3 twist med palma, any opinions on this? Thanks for the info!

    338 Norma Mag barrel length?

    Re: 338 Norma Mag barrel length? So is there a performance reason for staying with the 26in barrel or is it from the aspect of keeping the length in a manageable package that performed in a certain window?

    338 Norma Mag barrel length?

    Re: 338 Norma Mag barrel length? What kinda of gains are we talking? I have no problem with a long barrel if I can see some gain. Primary concerns in order are; accuracy and consistency then FPS and weight, I want to shoot this rifle a lot, it will be my first rifle that is capable of...

    338 Norma Mag barrel length?

    Re: 338 Norma Mag barrel length? My decision to go with the 338 Norma Mag is mainly based on that it is designed for a standard long action with good bullet placement with a 300gr projectile. I'm wanting to run it in the 2750-2800fps range and this seems to be an excellent way to do that...

    338 Norma Mag barrel length?

    I'm getting started on a 338 Norma Mag build and was wondering if there is much to gain from a 30+in barrel. Most of the info I can find has been on rifles with shorter barrels. I'm interested in shooting the 300gr Berger or SMK's only and the length does not matter I just want to get the most...

    Range Report .270 long range

    Re: .270 long range A 270 cal can shoot just as far and well as any other chambering! Many of the typical bullets used for the 308 have less BC than many 270 offerings. I shoot a 270 WSM but I am currently running the 140's near what a 270 win runs them and I shoot it at 1000yrds all the...

    Gunsmithing Receiver Blueprinting and Barrel to Receiver Joint

    Re: Receiver Blueprinting and Barrel to Receiver Joint Very interesting read. I kinda wonder about hand turning all those tools, it's hard to hand turn a tool without inducing some kind of bias in the situation. I use a very low torque on my Savages and got rid of the bedding under the...

    Hunting & Fishing For you Coyote sympathists

    Re: For you Coyote sympathists That right there is why you pack a 22 pistol when calling coyotes! Shooting down a hole is stupid with a high power rifle, that ground is so hard a ricochet is easy to have happen, I like the smoke bomb idea, I use a catch pole and a 22lr. At least they finished...

    Hunting & Fishing True "One Shot" Kills - Neck vs. Heart/Lung Shots

    Re: True "One Shot" Kills - Neck vs. Heart/Lung Shots For me it depends on the animal, a deer I'll shoot in a lot more places, like the head, neck and high shoulder because there bones just aren't that heavy. I have had two neck shots fail on mule deer, one lived and he had a scare right in...
