Nice!

Nothing wrong with that. Congrats on a good hunt and fun memories. That'll be the coolest coat rack ever!

Thanks for the help guys and the PM's. I have enough now. Thanks again.

I'm looking for some antlers for a boy scout group to make some knife handles out of. Where would be the best place to find some? In the alternative, does anybody have any they would be willing to donate over? Thanks!

That is so cool! Can't wait to do that with my kids starting in about 3 years! Congrats!

Way to go man. Congrats to your broham!

Well at least you didn't have to skin half the animal!

I hear you.

Charles Hamilton Houston said: "A lawyer is either a social engineer, or parasite on society." As you know, he was one of the reasons that desegregation (African Americans being allowed into pubic schools, etc) occurred. I think we all agree that was a good thing. He was a lawyer. I know this post isn't to say all lawyers are scum, but I think every profession has its scoundrels, not just the legal field. There are a lot of lawyers that do a lot of good things in society, and just because one is lawyer does not make him a poor politician/democrat or that he uses faulty logic like democrats do. Point taken from the post though. Just wanted to stand up for the good lawyers out there.

What a champ man!!

Shane has been busy this year. Great write up and congrats to the hunter.

What a stud!! Those pics are crackin' me up. Congrats to all!

Wow those other shots ended up being great misses! Congrats to you and your son.

Dude! That was awesome... thanks for sharing those. Gonna watch it again!

Interesting. I just entered the exact same ballistic information that I have programmed into my ballistics program on my phone (Shooter) into the Nikon site. It reflects a 7 inch difference at 500 yards than Shooter does. All of my field testing so far has confirmed Shooter's accuracy. Now, Shooter only calculates the number of clicks needed for the main crosshair while Nikon SpotOn breaks it down to the BDC reticles. But this was the same problem I had with SpotOn last year. It showed my bullet hitting a lot higher than it actually did (almost 10 feet at 700 yards, though part of that was some wrong information entered on my part). So far I am a big fan of Shooter. Easy to use too.

I had seen this before. I was actually looking for it the other day. Thanks for posting it up! I tried using this last year, but entered some incorrect information and it threw my points way off. I am excited to see if it works this time around.

Atta boy!!! Congrats Casey!

Good job! That's what life is about right there. Making those memories with family. Thanks for sharing brotha!

I ended up loading up some federal brass last night. We'll see how they shoot compared to the winchester brass (which is nickel plated by the way). I don't think I will be able to notice that much difference. I will let you know.

I have been searching this question and can't seem to come up with a good answer. I have been using Winchester brass for my 270 WSM while searching for that special load. Now that I have found it, if I load up all of my Federal brass in addition to the Winchester brass, would I get different results between the two? If so, how big of a difference?

Very cool! Congrats Clay on your first deer.

Thanks for the info guys. I did the water test, and the capacities were identical. So the only other variable I will need to field test for is the tension in the neck of the cases to see if that effects the accuracy. This forum rocks! I love the wealth of knowledge that exists here.

I have also heard that Federal brass is junk. Is this still true or have they fixed their issues?

I will be helping some family and friends on that hunt. It's a fun one. Look for a silver 4 door Tacoma, white 4 door Tacoma or a silver 4 door Frontier in the area you have been scouting. Stop by and say hi, and if you haven't gotten into them, we can steer you to some good areas.

That was a great write up. Thanks for sharing and allowing us to take part in the experience of your hunt.
