I am flying into Cheyanne from Texas on Thursday. From there driving to near Midwest. I'm just hoping to get to Midwest ok! Hopefully the interstate will be ok by Thursday afternoon.
Thank you you for calling me out on this one. That should have read actually go downa size with the all copper bullets. As I mentioned, the weight retention is very good. As someone else mentioned, they typically are longer (generally better BC), I believe to to get up to weight with a less...
Bowhunter60, I am actually going heavier to caliber with my 7mm RM. I'm going to shoot a 168gr. from it. I have not run it through my ballistic program yet, but I believe it is going to fare better in the wind. FWIW I have killed a ton of white tails with the 150 gr. ballistic tip from my...
bwcatripper, I have shot the Barnes TTSX (tipped triple shock X bullet) in my 7mm RM described earlier. It was an accurate bullet in that rifle and I plan to go back and experiment with them again. In general they are constructed to stay together so weight retention is generally around 100%...
I have taken to heart the "how you carry it" theology and think I have a solution. I bought a Tenzing TZ-2220 day pack with a rifle/bow holder. I packed what I thought I would need in the field, including the heavy bull barreled rifle, and it carried very nice. I think it will be very...
I'm about to "dumb down" this discussion in a hurry :). Here is what I don't understand. If I have a PP and do not get drawn for my first three choices am I given another PP automatically (total of 2 pp now) or does that allow me the option to buy another PP (again, I have 2 now)?
Switching the glass is an option. I am leaning against it right now. This is probably irrational, but I have the M700LR so dialed in right now I hate to jack with anything. I am shooting a 168gr VLD Hybrid out of it and it is just shooting crazy good. My last group was six shots into...
Wow, these are some really great insights, in particular on matching the rifle to the type of hunting I'm doing. A key take away is plan to take both. I can see where that could be critical a trip this far from home. Thanks for all of the replies, and by all means keep them coming. I value...
Like many I am sure, I have been lurking here for a while and have been overwhelmed with the knowledge (and civility :)) shared on this forum. I am planning my first pronghorn hunt and have been struggling with a rifle decision. I thought now may be a good time to come out of the shadows and...
