Funny thing is, around here it has been easier to find oddball brass like wssm and 30-378 weatherby, than 30-06 or 22-250. It was like that during the O'bummer administration too. So now we've been through 2 gun recessions, and both times oddball brass has been easier to find. I used to buy...

There is a lot of misinformation about the 25 wssm. In my opinion it's actually a better cartridge than the 100 plus year old 25/06. I could write a book about that, and wouldn't bore anyone with it. The feeding issues came from poorly designed magazine followers and push feed M70 actions...

As if profit is a bad thing! Maybe send ole GunHawk to North Korea on a permanent vacation. Yep, profit is illegal there. Private land, public land, doesn't matter. It's here for the use of the people! If you can afford to buy a permit to drill for oil on public land. More power to ya! If...

Yes, and no. Wolves are already on the endangered species list here. So whether they are introduced or not, it doesn't matter because they are endangered and will have to be removed from that list. Which we all know will be an uphill battle. Most likely by the time they are removed it will...

The RMNP elk don't necassiraly need to be controlled. They are overpopulated and have been for many years. What needs to happen is they need to hold some hunting seasons in there and let us hunters go in and pay to bring the numbers down.

If you're an evolutionist and literally believe we came from monkey's then you might be foolish enough to believe anything. Which is why it could be easy to believe an article written with a slanted view. That's like saying my cat only kills weak mice. If it has four legs and twitches my cat...

I don't know if your question was directed at me? I do know that a wolf was shot in Kremmling a few years back. It was mistaken for a coyote. That wolf originated in the greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and traveled to CO. There have been wolf sightings here in CO from dispersing packs up...

Most definitely! I'm scared shirtless of what happens when wolves are introduced in CO. The electorate here has turned to the dark side. In CO I'm not sure common sense can win the day. Wolf introduction is going on the 2020 ballot, just like bear baiting did in 1993. The result was no more...

Wolf introduction not reintroduction is a TOTAL catastrophe waiting to happen in CO. We have the largest elk herd in the world and the second largest Mule Deer herd in the world. Once we let them go here, it will be game over for hunters and ranchers. The problem with CO and many other states...

How many grains of what kind of powder do you get a 115 grain VLD to leave the muzzle at 3300 FPS? I imagine your Sendero 25-06 has a 26 inch barrel to achieve those velocities. Because I can't find load data anywhere to support these claims. I'm not saying your lying, and I know they don't...

Yeah, it could cause problems. But like all statisticians I realize that I'm about 9 inches high at 250 yards (the highest arc of my bullet trajectory) when 6 inches high @ 100 yards. When I shot my bull at 80 yards I aimed about 6 inches low of where I wanted to place my shot. I prefer the...

Agreed, which is why I bought these 100 grain Scirocco II's. The ELD-X is a great bullet. But with a 100 grain bullet with roughly the same BC @ 200-300 feet per second faster there's no need to step up to the 115-120 grain bullets. At all practical ranges the high BC 100 grain bullets shoot...

Hi, I'm new to this forum but wanted to share a hunting experience I had recently. I've owned two 25 WSSM's since 2006. When this cartridge first came out I was enamored with it. Many people didn't see the benefit of a cartridge that basically mirrors the venerable 25-06 Rem.. Although having a...
