Im taking the Varsity Scouts this summer by Big Lake and planning on doing spot lighting with them. Its been 15 years since Ive been spot lighting. What are some good spot lights or LED lights that can reach out and touch. Im not afraid of a little money either. If I get one Ill end up using it more on the family summer camp outs

How long does it last and will it work right away with a dead battery but plugged in??

So 115 bergers would be the go to round for keeping pelts

I just saw information about for the first time about the 22 nosler. How long has that been out?

I see the attachment but not coming up as a picture. But welcome to the site officially

Tell Taylor she can't compete!! Not fair for the rest of us

Its the Points you should of cut off 1/2 pound and make some burnt ends!! But that looks great

Just tape the cat to the gong. At least you will hear that you hit the kitty cat :)

So RI 23 is the same as 22 but temp stable? Why use 22 then?

Bummer! Looks very recent (couple days the most) even the yotes havent got to it yet

Depending on terrain but 90% of it usually exceeds 300 yards and out. You usually only have so much ground right in front of you close and the rest is out from 300 yards to a 1 mile. Doesn't take long to look at the 100 -200 yard spots but if your setting up to be glassing like all of us here you will be sitting in you spot for 15-60 mins glassing. That being said I usually carry just 15s with me. Only a couple of times I wish I had 10s but I will use 15s about 98% of the time. As little as I use it not worth the extra weight. As for spotters I haven't been in a unit that I glass up multiple large bucks in one hunt, for me to get picky about. If I glass up a buck from 1300 yards and he looks big in my 15s, guess what?? He probably is a really good shooter. Once I get a tag for the BAB maybe Ill get a spotter and be picky. This doesn't mean I dont want a spotter but I probably wont hike in with it though.

So with the RL 22 I heard its temp sensitive. This entirely means what exactly ??

Well months later my gun still acted weird!!! As you can see in my last post back in October those are some great groupings and velocity. Still a learning curve for me. Once I thought it was fine and loaded up more loads it wouldn't group any more. Changed it again and again the H1000 just didn't like my 300 win mag. I swear I have the only 300 win mag that doesn't like H1000!! Even the loads it did like the barrel now being fowled my velocity really increased. Sticky bolt and blown primers. Once 2800 fps and 2900 low loads are now 3,050 fps. I just got tired of messing with this. I loaded up with some low loads of H1000 but went ahead and got some IMR 7828ssc before I tried the low loads of H1000 My best load is about 200 fps slower then what I've been shooting before but its the tightest group I have ever shot!! Last week I shot the same load and got .71 MOA and the slight different loads from 1 grain off were still with in 1" MOA. So fare this is the only round that has been consistent But what about those low loads of the H1000?? Well after the first 2 shots the rest of them wouldn't allow me to close the bolt. Ahhhh!!! So now I've been home pulling those rounds and resizing and trimming brass!! Ive been good double checking before but I don't know why these brass got away from me I was aiming for good groupings and great velocity but I guess you really can't beat 0.222 MOA. Hopefully I can pull that off again, and see how she does farther out

Awhile ago I bought a long range 26" heavy barrel Remington rifle. It just sat there for a year. I never had time to get to it, plus I wanted to put a break on it before I did anything, so it just sat. I never even shot a round out of it. The gun smith who put a muzzle break on it was the first guy to shoot it. Well I grabbed 208 grain ELD-M because they didn't have any of the 212 ELD-X at the time. Now there are plenty of them around. But from what I've seen the new ELD-M are near the same as Amaxs but with the new tip. If you have heard other wise please comment. But now im ready to see what it can do. Remington rifle 700 300 win mag H-1000 powder COAL- 3.608 which is 0.025 off the lands and this keeps me inside the magazine 208 grain ELD-M Hornady Hornady Brass I started off at --73 grains ave. 2712 fps --74 grains ave. 2780 fps -- 74.5 2805 fps -- 75 2850 fps --75.5 2868 -- 76 2880 This above was shot up in Flagstaff in July and my groupings were so bad. Then I realize my scope came loose But thats ok because I'm looking for a hot round to be busting on Elk Yesterday I shot --76.5 -2910 with a 1" group and a flyer --77 2925 with a large group --77.5 2930 1.6" groups --78 2963 with a bad 2" group and today I reshot 78.5, 79, and 79.5 to see if I can improve the grouping Here is 78.5 grain. This was my second best My number 1 spot! My hot round 79.5 I have my shots listed on there too. 1-4 for speed. Notice the 79.5 slew down.??????? Then I load 1 round at 80 grains to see how far my gun will go. It shot at 3050 fps. Huh??? it shot about the same as the 79 grain. Now grant it it was only one shot, but I remember loading it, it was up to the top of the shoulder of the brass. No sticky bolt, no pressure signs that I can see, but im no pro at pin pointing pressure signs. So Im going with 79 grain pushing 3050 fps with a 0.836 group. Now the next question to you guys is what else can I do to bring the grouping in. Im planning on doing a load test with shortening the COAL and see if I can improve my shot and move it out to 200 yards to see what comes of it. Any extra help would be great.

Thats a big bullet going super fast

I was hoping for your guys insight mainly out of curiosity and for knowledge. What are the pros for these new rounds? I heard they are pretty similar to other rounds but I've read 33 Nosler does the same as a 338 Lapue but with less powder. Any insight would be awesome

You wont feel a thing

Interesting

Wow

Thats sweet

And the 260

My cousin shot this coues in 26m

Big Browns is already scouting out dove areas!

I'm so sorry, horrible units

With your tinkering with the ELD let us know. I would only say Ive seen just a few people have commented on here they work for them. The rest say they can't get them to work, or it takes alot of work to make it happen. I have one more load development with my 300 win mag and if I can't get a load on that Im switching to something else
