    7mm 183 Sierra MatchKing

    Done... getting a box. Thank you for the replies!
  2. I'm thinking about giving the 183 smk a try in my 7mm Rem Mag. Anyone tried them out yet? I know Sierra doesn't recommend them for hunting, but has anyone tried them out on deer or elk?
  3. I second the whole where is my elk thing!

    200+Typical Archery Mulie from 36A

    I know if I had dropped a 200" deer I wouldn't wait that long to bring to a taxidermy shop or tell someone. That kind of a deer is world class. Something isn't right.

    Encores

    Anyone try any custom barrels? What kind of accuracy are you guys getting out of them? Anyone try the 6.5x284?

    Remington .300 Ultra Mag

    I'm shooting 180 gr. Accubonds over 100.5 gr. of Retumbo. I'm getting 3438 fps out of a 26" Sendero and getting 1/2 moa out of it. Plenty of bunch well over 1000 yds for whatever you want to hunt,

    Accuracy with broadheads

    Shoot it through paper exactly 9 feet from the front of your bow to the paper. Get a perfect bullet whole, and none of this its good enough stuff. PERFECT BULLET HOLE! Then step back and sight in. After that shoot a broadhead and then a field point. Group together everytime for me.

    Distance?

    Sorry to bring up old stuff, but one thing that I think is very important for taking a long range shot or not is the demeanor of the animal. I have personally killed a couple of animals further than 80 yds with my bow. Last year I had an elk tag that I didn't fill because I was wanting something big. I had the herd bull at 85 yds a couple of times but something was not right, either the cows were moving all around him or one time I felt that I might hit some branches on the way up. For a long shot you have to feel the situation is perfect along with the conditions. If the situation would have presented itself, I am sure I could have dotted him, but I felt the situation never presented itself. I definitely think that shooting long range whether you have the equipment or not, is not for everyone. Who ever wants to shoot long range need to be very familiar with that weapon. Those Best of the West guys do a lot of practice to include windy days or better said especially on windy days. These guys also advocate a high shoulder shot, which gives you a large margin of error and also shooting Berger bullets. They put down a lot of animals.

    300 weatherby facotry loads

    I shoot a 180 gr Accubond for everything. Better ballistic coefficient and shoots just as flat as my .270 Wby Mag.

    Weatherby ammo

    You know, I was trying those accubonds on some jacks, they were devastating. Just blew them apart. The jack was gutted and quartered by the bullet. You might want to check into those bullets for all around use. I have them in a .270 Weatherby Mag. Just awesome.
  11. So how many put in for Muzzleloader tags for deer?

    Your fav Rifle

    I have to say my 30-06 in a Wby Mark V action. The rifle is about 30 yrs old, but it drives tacks. 1/2" groups at 100yds with Fed Premium ammo. I also have a 270 Wby Mag in a synthetic stock that is coming up on a close second. I haven't nailed anything with it but I have been taking some long shots and nailing stuff with it. I put in for NM for Coues. If I get drawn that 270 will see some action!!

    Whisker Biscuit and Quikspin Vanes

    I had the same result, I say get rid of the Quick Spin. Too fragile.
  15. Definitely some big toads on that website
