    I found this little guy and made a 655 yard shot. He rolled down the hill after the shot and got wedged under a log.

    Measuring Jam Length or Rifle Seating Depth?

    Purchase the attachment to measure to the ojive with the gauge. It's offset and is a better way to measure your seating depth.

    Measuring Jam Length or Rifle Seating Depth?

    Hornady oal gauge with a dummy cartridge has worked the best for me. I always measure from the o-jive. I've tried other techniques and the were never constant for me.

    RCBS Metallic Reloading Intro Kit?

    Your going to need to get a device that throws powder or scoops that hold the right amount of powder. Also a powder trickler. I started out with a rcbs uniflow and trickler. I soon got very tired of that and purchase a Lyman gen 6. What calibers are you looking to reload and why are you...

    Idaho Upping Prices?

    It was only a matter of time before Idaho raised their prices. I didn't expect them to drop tag numbers for non residents also. If Idaho does eventually go to a preference point system they will regret it. I'll still put in for tags in Idaho.

    2 man Hot Tent Options - 2019

    I have a Seekoutside BT-2 and a Redcliff. The BT2 is the predecessor to the Silvertip. If I had it to do over I would purchase the LBO over the BT2. The LBO is nice because you can use it as just a tarp or heated. When you hunt in November you spend a lot of time in the tent having a larger...

    Angled or straight??

    You will get a lot less neck fatigue with the angled head. If your not backpacking with the scope a lot I'd get 80mm+ they have a lot better low lite performance.

    Reloder-16, Reloder-22, Reloder-26 Q&A

    I've used reloder-22 in magnum cartridges mostly 300 win it was extremely accurate and fast with 180 grain bullets. But I've moved away from it recently because it has huge velocity changes with temperature. I use reloder-16 in the 6.5 creedmoor that I hunt with. It has been a very fast...

    270 Weatherby Magnum bullet selection

    I've used both barnes and accubonds on animals and for long range shooting. When you hit a animal with a accubond you can see the impact in the animal. When you use the barnes they zip though and have less impact on the animal. I've also had some problems with down range performance of the the...

    Elk hunting pack question

    Seekoutside makes a great pack. Their packs fit me better then any other pack made. The only downside I've found with them is that the material that they are made from can be a little loud.
