Hate doesn’t even describe how I feel about the creedmoor. Their marketing tactics get people into this bind. Build a low capacity cartridge and crank it up to max PSI out of the gate. Take any of the aforementioned cartridges and you can get away loading them “hotter”. Take a creedmoor and do the same and it starts to blow up. I see posts on forums daily about this caliber and guys loading it for long range elk hunting. Yes it’s accurate, but it’s not a long range hunting caliber and certainly can’t be turned into one by loading it hot. The guy was looking for feed back, I’d say he loaded it way to hot trying to make it into a .264 win mag.

But. But. But. Hornady says on Instagram/Facebook/twitter/every shooting magazine/and everywhere else they can squeeze it in that the creedmoor is the best cartridge in the entire world?!?! I don’t see how it is possible that any other cartridge (.260, 6.5 PRC, 6.5 Swede, .264 win mag) can do 2850 but the creedmoor can’t!!

Ahhhhh. The good ol creedmoor!!!!

Proof research .28 Nosler with a 3-20 Schmidt and Bender is my latest elk killer.

Can’t believe these are still for sale. I still see guys trying to got $1400-1800 for non hd’s

I think he’s referring to a .50 cal sabot with a .45 cal bullet in it. The sabot makes up the other 0.05 cal. Don’t load a .45cal sabot in a .50 cal rifle. I’m guessing it would just fall out if you tipped the rifle forward, along with your powder.

It’s not that easy unfortunately. Fairly easy, yes, but not that easy. First of all, he’ll correct me if I’m wrong but Eli only guides in a handful of the top producing units, so I wouldn’t call him for a 0 point opportunity hunt. He knows a lot about antelope so maybe he can point you in the right direction? Secondly, while there are units that don’t require any points to to draw, most of them are nearly, if not entirely private, so you will likely need at least one or two points to get into a unit with a decent amount of public land to go DIY. Other option would be to draw a tag and then pay a trespass fee or hire an outfitter. Outfitted hunts can be done fairly cheap ($1800-2500) and trespass hunts even cheaper. While these guys are correct that antelope are easy to find and kill, just be darn sure you have a place figured out to hunt if you are going to draw a 0 point unit. If you wait a year or two and get a point or two then you can got to a unit where there’s endless public and endless goats. If you want a really nice buck you’ll likely need to wait longer or find some private that is letting them grow up a bit. I would buy a point in Montana as well if you’re looking to get into the antelope game. There are hunts there that can be done with one or two points as well. I spread my chips on the table that way I get to hunt them as often as possible. I had 3 antelope tags in 2017. 2 in 2016 but none last year. My wife and I love eating them and I love hunting them. Look to other states as well, there are some good options elsewhere if you do a little research. I’ve killed over 15 antelope and only 1 was in Wyoming.

YES!! They still make them. I’ve won many a trophy with these bad boys. Thumb tight is fine onto the base, but make sure you tighten the ring screws until you booger them up good.

And don’t get the weaver rings with the screws in both sides. Find the old ones that just hook in on one side and have the nice flat head screws on that side. Less stuff to go wrong. They probably don’t make them in 30 or 34mm so you’ll have to bend them a bit.

When I’m mounting scopes I usually tighten it down in the rings about halfway, then when adjusting the eye relief and leveling it I twist it back and forth a bunch. This makes nice little Z shaped scratches in the scope finish and crushes the tube a little so it fits nice in the weaver rings.

Every year there’s a few hits about 3-4 days later from the people who either don’t know how to check or their CC doesn’t allow them to check their pending transactions. I’ve noticed it’s fewer this year and I’m guessing it’s because the cabelas club visa was notorious for this and they’ve been transferred over to capital one which has a super easy and transparent website.

Lance you must not know a dang thing about mounting scopes.......

8 grand to try to go hunting. You get it all but about $100 back.

I think they made a dec 7-15 hunt this year in NM. For the most part the above is correct, not really a rut hunt and they’ve been pressured but atleast the weather is nice and it works out with you MT schedule.

$7912.00 hit from NM for me. You’d think that would be good for something wouldn’t you?!?

Mowing them should only help.

Limiting applicants to one choice is the best thing a state can do to maintain odds. I wish nevada and New Mexico would change. A majority of applicants (for whatever reason) put the hardest few hunts. In states with multiple choices you can play the table and it brings odds way up in mid and lower tier hunts. If they all did away with multiple choices your odds would go up dramatically

There’s essentially zero chance you drew a rifle bull tag on 3rd choice. That being said, elk die just as dead with a rifle at 30 yards as they do with a bow.

Well that’s what point guard is for. You’ll double check next time!!

If you had ten points and did a 3c cow tag then you drew it guaranteed on the first round bonus pass. Hopefully you bought point guard.

What hunt did you put for 2nd choice?

This is not a good thing. If they give the whole weekend without allowing card updates it kinda shoots their whole “no attempt to contact” if a card is bad in the rear. I average about two cards frauded a year, so that’s one every 180 days. Seems like if they go 4 days without charging, with 150,000 applicants, that’s a lot of cards that can have problems with no fault at all to the owner. Not to mention the guys who spend too much on them or don’t make sure their security won’t flag a charge from AZGFD. Those guys I don’t feel bad for.

It’s 8:30 in ND and I still haven’t gotten a CC hit. I usually find out an hour before you guys.

I think a swede will out do a creedmoor by about 200fps if loaded to the same pressure. It doesn’t require a man bun to own either. Sweet gun and cool caliber.

His mom must have had 23 points?
