    Small Calibers for Big Game Hunting

    What are you wanting it to weigh? That can make a difference on cartridge selection. I wouldn’t jump on the Backcountry bandwagon quite yet. I think higher pressure cartridges are the future, but not sure how it’s going to shake out. Sig and Federal both took different approaches to get there...

    Small Calibers for Big Game Hunting

    If you weren’t in grizzly country, I would say go with the 6.5. Everyone seems to forget the 6.5x55 Swede using 160gr bullets has killed a lot of moose. What accuracy issues are you worried about with the 7prc? How often are you going to be in grizzly country?

    25 RPM

    My guess is they won’t now with this new cartridge. If you want that, you’ll have to do a custom barrel.

    7mm-08 with 175 gr bullet

    You may not be able to push the 175 grandslam fast enough to have consistent expansion at 300yds. If your wanting to use a heavy constructed bullet like that, I would definitely step down to a 160 or 140 class bullet. The 160 would be my choice out the two because it’ll be flatter and have more...

    7mm-08 with 175 gr bullet

    Lots of 7mm-08 don’t have a fast enough twist to stabilize the heavier bullets, that’s why 160 is usually on the higher side for the cartridge. What bullets are you starting with?

    Small Calibers for Big Game Hunting

    All of us that hunted before gps wouldn’t have a problem. I think there’s a generation or two that wouldn’t know how to hunt without them, that would cause a problem because they would think they still could.

    Small Calibers for Big Game Hunting

    That’s a new one and I like it. The only downside is the search and rescue teams would get overwhelmed.

    Small Calibers for Big Game Hunting

    Did Utah have any other seasons open at the same time? Idaho for the most part, there is a wolf, bear, and cougar season that would overlap. Giving people a reason to have something with a scope.

    Small Calibers for Big Game Hunting

    Idaho is looking into doing an iron sight only season. Just not sure how it will be enforced. My other concern is the people that think they will still be able to shoot farther than they should with iron sights, not saying that doesn’t happen now, but your margin of error can be so much greater...

    Camofire Replacement

    Black ovis was part of them, don’t remember how they got mixed together. When they first started, I was under the impression they were getting all the stuff wholesalers didn’t want to have an inventory anymore. At some point that changed because it seemed like they always had stuff in stock.

    Small Calibers for Big Game Hunting

    I grew up hunting deer with a 243Win and never had an instance where I thought I was under gunned. After shooting a few elk with my 264WinMag, I would have no problem taking it on any hunt. These smaller calibers have my attention with the age of being able to hunt being younger than when I was...

    Camofire Replacement

    When they first started and had only 1 deal a day, it was usually a good price and at some point they got to big and the deals seemed to go away. Every now and then you would get something unique or a deal that made it worth watching for. I’m curious if someone picks up their inventory and tries...
