Mixed thoughts here. While personally, I like my 338WM's, my brother was a die hard 338-06 guy. Both worked well at shorter ranges, but I always liked the velocity edge my 338WM had over his for the longer shots. Though, the 338-06AI version does intrigue.

Then "I" would lean toward a 7mm-08, 260 or AI, or the 6.5CM, but the various 6mm's in fast twist work well. Since you may be shooting 60 or 70 up to 160 rounds over the full 2-3 day course with most targets in the 200-700 yard range and wish to keep your accurate barrel life longer, personally...

What is your definition of "long range" and what type of competition? I use the old NRA defs of LR targets in 800-1,000 yards, but I also use a modified 1/4 mile version, 1-440yds SR, 441-880yds MR, 881-1320yds LR, and > 1,320yds ELR. We used the 308 for a long time in Palma, 800, 900...

22/250, 22/250AI, 260AI, and 308 all running SRP's.

That always reminded me of a dog chasing a truck. What you gonna' do when you catch it?

Don't you have a rifle caliber large enough to hunt those things? Seriously, stay safe, and I hope you have a basement or storm shelter. You folks in OK need to move your state out of T-alley.

This thread reminded me of my deceased brother's story he told after coming into camp after a day of deer hunting. He shared how he found a nice trail on the side of a hill in the deep hardwoods, and nearby, he scraped off the ground leaves by a large oak and took a seat. As the warming morning...

Concussion kill.

I would remove the T section, so the blade and shaft can penetrate much deeper. But that's just me. Nice blade though.

LOL......Yea, I would not recommend jumping down on one, especially at our age now. Like you, my throwing arm now isn't the arm of that young 20 something I was then, but back in those days, I spent a fair amount of time throwing a lot of various weapons. Let me just say, a good, balanced and...

Many decades ago and as a young man living in the South, I actually hunted on rare occasions with a spear. It was during my decade of being into survival training and such practices. I never killed a deer under 3 yards, but I have shot several small game animals with a handgun at 3-4 feet.

As a kid, your family had a phone? I guess I lived deeper in the stix than I thought.

Old conveyor belt material, but its getting harder to locate now. Otherwise, I've used chains attached with bolts, head front chain and nut/washer back, or for spinners/rockers, a welded piece of length of rebar with different sizes of targets on each end. I.e 10" bottom and 6/8" top. Similar...

Going a little under-gunned on that squirrel.

Coyote at 1,031 yds and P-dog at 1,008yds, elk at 890yds.
