    Shooting after cataracts surgery

    I think I had both done on the same day. I will have to look. It's been a few years. They are not multiple focal I just have one that is focused up close and one that is far away. After they we put in I went through a Lasik operation to machine the near and far. Wore super dark sun glasses for...

    Shooting after cataracts surgery

    If anyone getting it done and they can get both eyes machined the same if using the fake lenses, then I think that would be better. Just use readers. I don’t know who makes the lens I have in my eyes now but it does bring in a lot of light it just the star effect at night and the double image is...

    Shooting after cataracts surgery

    I had the surgery done on both eyes. They completely removed both lens and I went with fake lenses which was supposed to be the best money could buy at the time. Well if you get fake don’t ever expect to see like you did before. They machined one for near vision and one for farther vision. My...

    Which bullet for Utah deer hunt/143 ELDX or 135 Berger Classic Hunter?

    So you bring up a good point. I wonder about the copper as to what it’s made of how soft or how hard. I’m no chemist or metal expert but I think we can add or change the hardness of copper or make it softer. Some copper bullet seem to smush up better and some seem to fragment. I know this is...

    Which bullet for Utah deer hunt/143 ELDX or 135 Berger Classic Hunter?

    Which bullet for Utah deer hunt/143 ELDX or 135 Berger Classic Hunter?

    I would say the 6.5 creed at 600 is going to be just as effective as the 243 load that my wife used at 300. The 243 is going faster at 300 but had less retained energy at 300 than the 6.5 at 600. I used 2800 for the 243 and 2650 for the creed. This is the speeds I chrono’ed out of our guns from...

    Which bullet for Utah deer hunt/143 ELDX or 135 Berger Classic Hunter?

    I had one bullet blow up but it penetrated a little bit and then blew before making it into then vitals. This was out of a 300Rum. 220ELDX. The rib bone was shattered but the bullet went to extreme fragments and this was a long distance kill. Still DRT, but big bullet to fragment so much. No...

    Which bullet for Utah deer hunt/143 ELDX or 135 Berger Classic Hunter?

    I would say either and take what you have the most condifent and what makes you fell good when shooting. That will probably make you have the best experience and boost you confidence in what you doing. As for pure bullets my wife shot her buck decent size body buck with an 87g VLD 243 at 300...

    Guy claims he can back up his long range hunting claim

    Man I been trying to stretch out my 308 past 800 and my load need help. I been setting up our left over tide jugs and Downey jugs hanging at 750 and 850. I have yet to bust one with my 308. My 7mm08 seem to be a much better shooting load. Actually the first time I tried with my 308 I put about...

    +P Chambers

    100% agree. That’s the man. He is the one I was trying to think of.

    +P Chambers

    Well that is a tough question. I think the original person that introduced it may have patented it so it’s probably trade knowledge for the exact specifications but in a nut shell what I understand about it is optimum freebore at an angular approach to the lands. Biggest thing it works great for...

    7mm Elk Bullets- Berger Alternates

    I think one thing to remember reguardless of bullet as the distance get further and further away and you get below 1800fps you have to think about expanding as what will work. Berger’s pretty much expand as usual down to 1600fps and slightly below. ABLR is supposed to do 1300 but test have shone...
