Yes I believe they probably are monitoring wolves but not at the state level at this point. My buddy is a biologist up there and said they aren't happy about the wolves not being managed. The DNR told the feds that they aren't spending valuable CO cost and time policing the wolves. Sure, they'll...

I think if any agency is keeping tabs on wolves in Michigan today, it's only the feds. Michigan(DNR) wants a hunting season. At least the biologists do, but again, the governor is controlling all of it and thru DC mostly. Once she's out and we ever get a governor that wants real wolf management...

The Michigan wolf thing is 100% politics. Whitmer doesn't want them hunted so of course the President protected them. It's just that simple. Michigan is 100% liberal. House and Senate and Governor are completely democrat so it is what it is. It'll take a new conservative president to do what's...

Elevation certainly makes a difference. I'm at under 1000 ft. Being at 5000+ can make an entire full twist of a difference.

Quick question since your experimenting with the heaviest of 257s. What twist stabilizes those 257/163 & 180s ?

My guess is because they have to appeal to a greater audience. The 134 is fairly heavy for a .257 bullet relatively speaking but still had quite a demand. A few rifle companies are making barrels to stabilize the 131,133,134,135 bullets today but none are making one for those real heavies...

Buffalo Bore, Underwood and Double Tap are all great companies to look at for great Bear defense ammo. Not to say Lost river isn't but I have no reason to leave those three other companies to look for what I am currently getting from the ones I'm using today. Buffalo bore shoots the best in my...

Sounds like you'll be just under 8 lbs as is. That sounds like a medium weight hunting rifle to me. That's actually a lightweight rifle to me. I think the action you have is a great mid weight hunting action.

Do you have any straight shank worm hooks ? Normally use Owner straight shank but would try some 3/0 straights if you have any.

Price jumped to 30.00 for 100. Still very good price.

Watched the entire video. It appears it's not a 100 target 600 yard shot scenario but rather varying ranges OUT TOO maybe 600 yards from multiple positions and angles. While I didn't see any shot that looked real difficult, he sure made them look difficult with low hit count overall. This is...

I haven't seen the video. My response was based on the OPs question in the first post (Hunting rifle off a bipod at 600 yards small wind). I'll watch the video later. Sounds like the video has no resemblance to his initial post.

Yep I understand those can throw a huge wrench in the outcome. The OP stated the conditions were good slight wind in the video. Those are "Good" conditions. Rarely is there zero wind. Didn't have time to watch the video as I'm loading some ammo as I respond. I'll check it out later tonight.
