    What gives Reloader 26!?

    I thought if your extreme spread was pretty high anyway... Sounds like a new batch of powder. I would probably live with the new normal. Be sure to gather data every range session and keep good records. It will pan out in the long-run.

    What gives Reloader 26!?

    What chronograph are you using? Is POA and POI the same? Still groups good? What is your ES for the load?

    gun or scope

    Not sure what scopes you are using, but this is unacceptable. To the OP: Stay at 100 yards and get off the sled. Making gross adjustments will let you see if the scope is tracking and not a bad idea. Loose screw or bad scope is my guess.

    Unable to retrieve animal due to private land and punching tag

    I would let the law guide me. As in, I would contact the Game Warden and let him try to resolve the issue and tell me what I need to do regarding my tag.

    Long range ethics

    My brothers roommate knew a guy who could put arrows in the 10-ring all day long. During a hunt, a large buck stepped out under his tree stand (going to the mineral lick). As he raised his crossbow, he too turned to jello and pulled the shot. Turns out, his scope was dialed wrong also. Goes to...

    Long range ethics

    Fair Chase died a long time ago, if you apply it to long range hunting you have to apply it to all hunting scenarios.

    Help - Ballistic Calculator off from Actual Dope

    I need labels: MOA, Clicks, Inches ? I will guess MOA based on what I ran on JBM. 200 yards would be a 4" drop and approx 2 MOA adjustment or 8 clicks. 300 yards would be a 15" drop and approx 5 MOA adjustment or 20 clicks. 6 MOA adjustment would be 12" at 200 7.5 MOA would be 22.5" at 300...

    new binos vs. spotting scope

    The 10x25 are a no-go; if you get 10's go with the 42mm objective. As a bow hunter, you may even want the 8x magnification. I have a set of 8x Minox HG that are superb. There is good glass out there for stupid low prices. Look at the Bushnell M series close-outs. They check a lot of feature...

    No love for 180 grain for .308 Winchester?

    Yes, seated out farther with the longer magazine. The longer COAL also adds to the velocity gain: Link to Berger article 300 or 400 shouldn't make any appreciable difference in performance, just pick what you are comfortable with.

    No love for 180 grain for .308 Winchester?

    I have the Berger Elite 180 in a Tikka 308 with 11" twist. Changed the bolt stop to a long action and switched to the 30-06 class magazines. At 2750 it makes it a 800 yard cartridge (1800 fps min impact) depending on altitude. The bigger bullet fights the wind better, which is the magic part of...

    Sportsman Alliance?

    Is this true for a ban on lead hunting bullets also?

    Lead fragments in hunter harvested deer

    The issue is intriguing and honestly scares me, both as a health issue and as tool against sportsmen. I would encourage everyone to look up the following donors and dig deeper: The Charles Engelhard Foundation, Liz Claiborne and Art Ortenberg Foundation, Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust...

    Would you hunt with these handholds?

    I would practice with that load, chronograph every time out and get to know it inside and out. Yes, I would hunt with it. Don't get lost in chasing the smallest group possible and give up time getting to know your rifle/load. -Dustin
