I have not used either on a coues, but both have worked well on big game for me and would be what I would shoot at a coues when I hunt them next. .257 cal 115gr Berger HVLD (.257 Weatherby - 1 Cow Elk @ 270 yards) 6.5 cal 135gr Berger Classic Hunter (6.5x55 - 2 mule deer. 1 @ 40 yards, 1 @ 250 yards)

6.5x55 is a good round. A decent scope and a timney trigger and that will be a good old hunting rig. My dad has a sporterized model 96 in 6.5x55 and it was his favorite deer rifle. I am working on that rifle for my sons right now. My deer rifle is a CZ in 6.5x55. It is a great round that is highly underrated.

I will take them. How soon do you need them gone? I might be able to get my co-worker who lives in Whittman to pick them up for me if you need them gone right away.

D Don't do anything dangerous or unsafe if it is supposed to get real bad, but you will never know where it will push the elk unless you go find out. You sure won't get an opportunity to shoot an elk on your couch. Even if you road hunt some and do some recon trying to find the movement patterns, you will know more after the experience then if you never have the experience.

Go back if you can.

Professional Exterminators. My family has used Randy since I was kid. I am 35 now and he is still our bug guy. He is also a hunter. (623) 486-7661

Sad to hear he missed the hunt, but glad to hear he is home and ok. lv2hunt on here is part of hunts for heros.

Randalls will do them for a reasonable price.

Is it the cow tag again? If so I am sure you have a good idea of what you are doing. I haven't been up there this year, but if I had to go tomorrow I would start in the area I met you a few years ago. That or where I got mine a few years ago if there is water.

PM sent. We need drivers in west Phoenix. They typically drive 24' stake beds. They work M-F 6am to 2:30pm.

I dont know if 6a is the same as 7e, but in 7e I used to see more bulls at lower elevations then where I would see the cows. Harley

Pro diesel is a good shop in Phoenix.

I am trying to figure out an accuracy issue. The problem is typically on the 3rd shot of a 3 shot group I am getting a flier. Shot 1 and 2 are acceptably close, and the 3rd shot can be an inch or two away, of even worse. The gun is a CZ 550 full mannlicher style stock in 6.5x55. All stock with a leupold vx6 2-12 scope. Part of the problem I think is the loads are touching the land for group/pressure testing. When I shoot factory ammo I still have the same issue, but since they are not right at the lands it doesn't seem quite as pronounced but still shows up. Is this just a product of having full stock with a thin barrel on a hot day? I let the barrel cool between 3 round groups. Thoughts?

His knee was in bad enough shape that he is probably going to need to at least have it scoped and cleaned up if not more. He is sometimes a little to tough for his own good.

It was day 6, and we had not seen anything bigger since opening morning during shooting hours. His twisted his knee the day prior and was in rough shape for hiking. He gutted it out all day on day 6 and this little guy presented himself so he took it knowing it might be the last opportunity he would get. He was about ready to call off the hunt in general so it was great that he got this one. He is a tough dude so I know he was hurting bad to think about calling it.

The rifle and berger bullets performed well on my first Kaibab hunt. My buddy and I both took our deer with it. The 4x4 was mine at about 250 yards. Mine didn't exit. The fork horn was his at about 40 yards. He hit it quartering toward him through the chest and out behind the opposite shoulder. It made a nasty exit wound.

That's pretty cool, but dang I wouldn't even consider shooting that without a muzzle brake.

Axisworks has done 2 for me, and did a great job.

Nice work. What the heck are you shooting 400gr bullets at 2700fps with?

let #2 in line have the H4350. I don't NEED it so I am going to save the money.

If it is cold and has been cold start in the middle and work low. Look for water and sign. When you find both hunt there. A set of 15s or a spotter on a tripod will be helpful.

I will take the 2 pounds of h4350
