Lol its a soap opera with zombies

175 smk or 200 gn sierra gameking for the 308. also can use the 208 amax at 2500 fps...

the kaibabs are much better than the minox. The minox 15x58 are much better than both but are discontinued. the minox 15x56 are severley lacking when compared to others in the same category.

you must be referring to .270WSM.[/quote No a 270 win. This is what I get with my loads 270 130 gr sst drop 100 yds 2101 ft lbs 0" 500 yds 1127 ft lbs -50.3" 700 yds 800 ft lbs -124.5" 7mm rem mag 139 gr sst 100 yds 2265 ft lbs drop 0" 500 yds 1260 ft lbs -49.3 700 yds 913 ft lbs -121 So if this is a big difference the deer will never know. But with the recoil and extra weight and cost of ammo not that much difference for me the big difference is you can shoot the 162 or 168 gn bullets out of the 7mm. That is where the 7mm shines. Then that is where it indeed blows the 270 out of the water. also your speeds must be very slow to get the numbers you are getting for the 7mm. The 7mm shoots the 139sst anywhere from 3200-3300 fps. Which puts the drop and energy quite a ways off from what you stated. energy at 700 is around 1130 and drop around 99 "

Bad choice? What? I'll have to completely disagree with you on that note but I'd like to hear your reasoning behind it. The 300 rum only has one advantage over the 300 win mag. Shoots bullets faster. That is where the advantage ends. the 300 win mag is easier to shoot, barrel life is triple if not quadruple that of a 300 RUM. You might be lucky to get 600-700 rds out a RUM. Look up 308nuts (Michael Eichelle on long range hunting) borescope findings regarding the RUM and the one of the reasons I say it is a poor choice. the 300 win mag will take your game to the 1000 yd line with no problem. The 300 rum can extend that range a bit if needed. The 300 RUM needs to be braked. The 300 win mag doesnt. To shoot heavy bullets long range, one would be better off stepping up to the 338 range. The 300 rum is just too harsh on barrels and in reality only gives you 100-200 fps more than the win mag. And that comes with 10-20 grains more powder. Efficiency of the RUM is very low because of this. If someone is truly has the need for speed and cant be satisfied with 300 win mag speeds, by all means go for the 300 RUM. That is the only advantage and IMO not worth burning barrels and extra powder to do so.

Sendero is a great rifle. 300 RUM is a bad choice in caliber though. if you want a 30 cal stick with the 300 win mag.

Yes 243 or 25-06.

What???

Either caliber is capable of taking anything in north america. I studied the pros and cons of both for quite some time before purchasing a 7mm mag. For what i wanted, the 7mm came out on top. If i were to shoot the 300 mag, i would use 200 gn or higher bullets. That is where the 300 mag really shines IMO...

That will work yes. Might be a little light on arrow weight but it will still work. depending on your draw length you might be underspined with the 250's. Moving up to maxima 350's will get you properly spined and also give you a bit of extra arrow weight which will help. There are a bunch of guys that think you have to have a 500 gn arrow to take an elk and that is a bunch of bs. I have killed two with arrow weights of 376 and 386. The 386 arrow made it through an elk front shoulder as well. Plenty of penetration.

P.

Just got a call from game and fish to straighten out card details. There is still hope guys. I will be elk hunting!!!

I have used Hornady 162 gn sst Superformance with great results. 350 yds bull elk he walked about 10 yds and fell over dead 600 yd bull elk dropped him 600 yd bull elk different year different shooter dropped him

saw a nice 19a bull in january that had a sever limp on his front leg. looked like it had been shot but made it through and survived.

So i got an email (no phone call) from game and fish that i was drawn but card declined (fraud). The lady asked me.to call her to update my payment info. Thing is i just got my email now and tried to call but they are closed. Grrrrr!!

Common sense does not dictate otherwise. Here is what common sense dictates. This country is in bad shape. We are split down the middle and most countries hate us and want us brought down. Common sense tells us the leadership in this country has and is failing us. Everything that led up to the point we are now is open for discussion. You are free to think what you want and i will think that there is and has been a long lasting desire to bring down the usa by most every other country. Obama is a terrorist no matter how you dice it. he wants the country brought to its knees so he can do as he pleases. Not just him but all that are like him.

Like maybe Obama was inplanted in our system by Putin while he was colonel in the KGB? Now that obama is president Putin knows he is free to make his move. Putin is a mastermind and has had these plans in place for years. The clintons fall into it as well.

They're not their. Lol thats the first thing i noticed.

Next week results will be out

Just talked to game and fish and the draw is going on til the end of the week.

I know of a guy whos card was hit after the results came out. Some banks are just slow as heck

Sportsmans mesa has berger vld 168 gns

Bought this very recently at sportsmans for $419 plus tax. Havent shot it at all. Selling gun new in box with 20 rds of personal defense 110 gn for $400.

I have shot many rests and was a whisker biscuit fan for years. They are hard to beat but i started disliking them for various reasons and now i love my qad hdx. Would not go back to whisker biscuit for anything. And no i havent had any problems with them while stalking or taking an animal. Drop a ways just have too much of an advantage over the biscuit. Choices would be qad hdx or limbdriver pro v. Stay away from the code red as it is very noisy.

Anybody that put in with a credit union card get hit yet?
