Bullet expansion and how far it penetrates has been a strange subject for years. A number of years ago I was shooting 150 grain Seirra Game Kings out of a 7mm Rem mag at roughly 3200 fps. I had a cow elk broadside at 20 yards. I hit her through the ribs and lungs, the bullet came to rest on...

When I was bow hunting I never did take a backup bow. It's a lot like a backup rifle, there are a lot out there who can't afford two of them.

Cabela's used to sell a sealant for both bullets and primers but when I looked it shows it unavailable online and Midway doesn't even list anything. On the military cases, they were usually crimped and you needed a industrial deprimer to punch them out or you could take a pocket knife and cut...

Can't help you with hiking in it but hunting elk in November you shouldn't be too worried about scent. Especially during a rifle hunt where your shots are going to mostly be 100 yards + If you are worried about hiking in it put it on and go for a long walk and see how it feels.
