Keith was a big caliber pistol guy. If I remember right, he either helped or was responsible for the development of the .44 mag. Always wore a big Stetson and smoked cigars. He was a real character, a lot different than the more conservative O'Conner.

I have a lot of Elmer Keith's stuff too, but it is all guns, reloading & shooting....no hunting. Jack O'Conner and Elmer Keith were both advocates for their style of shooting, very different from each other. Keith was a "bigger is better" shooter, O'Conner was Mr. .270. They were competitors...

No. I wish I had.

Old guys rock!

I have a custom .300 Wby (Commercial Mauser action, Shilen match SS barrel, B & C composite stock) that I built. It shoots sub moa groups out to 500 yds (furthest I've shot it). I too has a short throat (freebore). My elk/moose load is 86.5 gr of RE25 with Nosler 180 gr Partition bullets. It...

The only non hunting books are gun books. I got most of them thru Outdoor Life Book Club.

I know a lot of you are way too young to have grown up reading Jack O'Conner's columns in Outdoor Life magazine. I first read one of his stories while sitting in a barber shop in the early 50's and I was hooked. My mother gave me a subscription and I couldn't wait for it to arrive in the mail...

Nope. I have a swaro bino/rangefinder combo.

Sunny, but wind is also blowing like hell here in SW Colorado.

Hunted in late September in central Wyoming. Brought home 3 nice bucks and 2 does. Rusty Actions and his first ever antelope. Patos and Rusty CC

I'll be quite blunt.....seems like a bit much to me. 150 birds......what did you guys do with them? I count 10 hunters, that's 15 each, the limit here is 2 per day. I am a waterfowl hunter and it just seems like something I wouldn't brag about....just my opinion.

SW Colorado got it's first snow of the year last night. The La Platas got some that looks like at about 9,000 ft.

You are right about the wind, everything happened so fast there was no way to really look at the grass/brush to see how much and what direction the wind was. It swirls around in a canyon and changes direction a lot. I had 2 spotters with binos looking as I was shooting and no bullet strike was...

You are right< I do have a great 180 gr load. It is an option for sure.

.308 150gr BT B/C is .408; S/D is 226 .257 117 gr BT B/C is .410; S/D is 216

I have 200 150 gr bullets that I don't use much. Want better performance in the wind. The 150's are faster and shoot flatter.

Some of you have probably read my post about this years antelope/deer hunt in Wyoming and know about my encounter with a buck deer of a lifetime. A little background: my primary deer/antelope caliber has been 25-06 since the early 70's. I have killed over 100 deer & antelope using my Ruger M77...

You have received some great advice. It is difficult for a bullet to perform the same at 100 yards and 400+ yards. The bullet slows down a lot and that effects expansion. Hitting bone on the way into the animal also has a big effect on expansion. You made the right decision to stick with the...

As usual Bob, your pictures are great!

Yep and love every minute of it!!
