Tuesday, opening day in Wyoming, my wife scored on a once-in-forever buck. Camp score was 93 5/8s. Left horn was 57 1/2". Base was 12...

With a 140 Elite: 1. RL23 2. H1000 3. N565 I found N570 too slow. Full case and low velocity. N568 too. RL26 produced great...

H1000, N565, Retumbo, N568. Those velocity numbers they are posting up are really low. They don't want to give the cartridge any...

Both. Vision for sure, #1 defense. They will watch you from 3 miles out. But, I have had pronghorn circle me wide to check scent, then...

I have used Berger 215 gr bullets from the first year they came out with them and have taken a moose every fall with them all one round...

Agree. I have numerous rifles pushing Berger and Sierra bullets at 320,000+ that are not coming apart.
