    Rounds for .22-250?

    me too Me three! I havent shot it in awhile but have 22-250 in a savage. It was not too picky and I probably shot 6-7 different bullets through it. I loaded more of the Noslers for it than anything, they knocked down coyotes all the way out to just short of 400 yards. I am sure yours will claim plenty of yotes!

    What rifle are your kids shooting???

    I have two girls and they share a Tikka T3 lite in 243, Burris Fullfield scope with ballistic reticel. My 12 year old killed her first buck this year with it using Hornady 95gr Superperformance loads. I was too lazy to load and test rounds so when we took it to the range and it was well under 1" with factory ammo I was very pelased. My older daughter has shot everything 22-250, 243, 6x284, 7mm RM, 7mm DAK, 300 Ultra, 9mm, 45 ACP, 38, 357 and has been being it since she was 11. My younger one only the 243, I think it really depends on the kid. My oldest is probably less flinchy than I am and she just wants to shoot everything, total adrenaline junky. She really likes the full custom 7mm RM. We just started a custom build for them, it will be a conversion of the 6x284 to a 6.5x284 using the rem 700 action. Hart barrel, flute the action & barrel, B&C stock to start with (pink). This will also be the first gun with a supressor which I am working getting ordered. Looking at a Zeiss scope with Rapid Z to put on top.

    What makes a feeding or bedding area?

    Glassing mid day! Deer dont move in the afternoon, somehow they become catatonic and freeze solid. I hear a lot of people say morning and evening but I tend to see a lot of deer in the middle of the day. Kind of counter intuitive but in my last trip I switched from the 15's to the 10's in the afternoon and just scanned and found deer moving around. I guess the wider FOV is the way to go if they are moving even a little. I still use the 15's because nothing gives you self confidence glassing better than finding a bedded deer and if it is a buck game on! Nothing better than a bedded deer to increase success rate.

    What makes a feeding or bedding area?

    Sounds about right to me. I have noticed that I find a lot of deer bedded way up high in saddles that allow them to get out of the wind. Usually it is almost impossible to glass them in these areas but you will see them move occasional from one side to the other or in the evening when they decide to wake up and start moving around.

    Camo dip kit

    Yes everything works fine but it will be a lot of work. You have to take the bow completely apart, watch the videos. Most people just do the limbs & riser but some of them have done everything, cams included.
  7. Find one load that shoots best and use it for deer, elk, whatever. You have a rifle that can reach way out there no reason to limit it with light loads. Finding a good load and practicing and determining what you and your gun can do will make hunting much more enjoyable than shooting a bunch of loads. Of course if you have the time knock yourself out. I myself would not shoot cast bullets in a magnum rifle but you may have some good reasons I am not familiar with.

    Christmas Theme - 'tis the season!

    Very cool! what a great change, Ho Ho Ho!
  9. 168gr HVLD's, 70.5gr H1000, Norma brass, CCI LRM primers. This is where I ended up with my 7mm RM so far out to 700yds and things are good. I hope to shoot out to 1k in the next few weeks. You can use HSM 168gr Berger HVLD loads as well. If it shoots them really good at the std spec they are loaded at you may just save yourself a whole bunch of time or at least have a factory load option. Sportsman's carries them when they are in stock.

    338 Norma for sale

    Nice! Well done!
  11. I have the Kuiu and 3 different Eberle's. The Kuiu is great and very light, I use it on longer trips. It is a great pack and very comfortable but on most trips I still go to the Eberle because the integrated scabbard cant be beat. When I do use my Kuiu I use it with a Kifaru gun bearer to help with carrying the rifle so I dont have to strap it in to the pack. I have not used the Outdoorsman's but it looks like a great pack. They seemed to be designed a lot like the Eberle packs without the scabbard.

    I know Jim Harsock at Southwest Wildlife also a sponsor does a great job on birds as well. My buddy has been putting together the 3 species of quail and Jim has done all the work and they look great! Here is his bird page: http://www.swwildlife.com/birds.php
  16. Wow! And to think if we have one Snow that is lost and we knock down it is almost enough to consider it a successful season.
