Nosler vs federal
I hunt with the Interbonds and love them. They are accurate in my rifles and have great terminal performance. Hornady has had a problem keeping them in supply. They have also gone away from bonded bullets and back to their cup and core type long range bullets. I primarily hunt elk, deer and...- 270elk

I Need Some Honest Opinions
A couple of more options: First, I'm in the same boat at 69 I will not be packing out a bull elk. I also live in Colorado and elk hunting is my favorite hobby. There are two electric assist game carts made in Utah that can carry a lot of elk meat. You can't use them in the wilderness area but... -

Reccomended rifle for shooting out to 1000 yards
This is a hot button for me. Sorry! I have no problem shooting at steel at whatever range you want. An animal is a whole different ballgame. I was recently shooting at some steel with my 6.5 in a gusty 10+ crosswind off a bench at 700 yds. If I guessed correctly when the wind would let up and... -

My Two-year HOWA Experiment
I really like the CDS system but I use it a little differently than just the custom made turret. During the summer I shoot target bullets (similar ballistic coefficient ) at paper and steel from hunting positions using the MOA turret. In my case I shoot ballistic tips for target then switch to... -

My Two-year HOWA Experiment
Interesting, two of most popular cartridges in your survey (30-06 and the 270 Win) were left out. The magnum cartridges will meet anyones needs for hunting in the west. I think I'll keep my 06 and 270 vs the 308, 7mm-08 or 6.5. Wishing you luck. Any of the cartridges listed are fine. I'm just...
