I should of also clarified that I picked one of the best long range hunting bullets along with the max velocity for that bullet out of the loading manual. So actual results will vary and as always shoot your rifle and load at the ranges that you plan on shooting a game animal at and record...

Not to muddle up this thread but I did a quick check with a ballistic program and here is what I got for a 280AI with a 300 yard zero: bullet Barnes 145g LRX Bt Velocity 3124 Altitude 6000' Temp. 50F 100 yards +3.1 175 yards +4 300 yards 0 400 yards -8.7 500 yards -23.1

Slugs, you need to play around with a ballistics program with different zero yardage. Then look at the + and - at ranges from 50 yards out as far as you intend to shoot to make the right decision for your zero

The other thing with a range finder and shooting at distances is do you know the ballistics of the round that you are shooting and or do you have a dial on your scope to adjust for longer ranges? Knowing that a animal is 600 yards away does no good if you can't shoot accurately to that range...

To tell you the truth, I can't remember the last time that I had a T bone steak. Now a rib eye, I had the other night.

A member on another forum came up with a new name for the .25-06, he calls his the 257-06

There is a standardized .25-06, it is called the .25-06 Remington. It was a wildcat for a log time until Remington decided to start building rifles and ammo for it in the late 60's. The .24-06 is still a wildcat and I don't see any manufacture building rifles or ammo for it since it would...

I drove past there store today and thought about stopping but I didn't. I'll have to go in when I'm back down there in a couple of weeks

All the deer that I saw were right in town in Montecello. I haven't heard anything about deer numbers there

Lots of snow down there when I went through in February all the way to Blanding

I agree Arizona offers some fun easy to draw tags to make use of that required hunting license. Javelina, quail, and second draw deer tags.

So many rifles to choose between them. I decided a very long time ago to purchase rifles for single purpose instead of just one or two to cover everything. My favorite all around rifle that can be used for any animal in North America and the majority of Africa would be my .340 Weatherby. If...

I have seen where a scope has been knocked off and resighted with just 3 shots. If it takes more odds are that the scope is finished.

I doubt that it is the ranchers or those who hold the grazing rights to the area. On and off road regulation are the same for all of us. One problem is trying to actually find a correct answer to a question on where it is legal or not to ride. This past year I was helping my brother in law...

The White River herd at one time was the largest elk herd in the nation at one time, I wonder now. They claim that post hunt population there in 2017 was close to 46,000 elk with a bull to cow ratio of 23:100. I know that the CP&W were planning on killing off a lot of bears and cats north...
