    Hunting cats in USA and Canada

    I have called in a couple Bobcat in the last 3 years. Mountain Lion is still on the list. Not many in this area so it may take some time to do that. Where are you thinking for the Lynx? l would contact some of the predator calling outfitters in Texas or Kansas for the Bobcat

    Practicing long crossers

    Agree with that. It was at the Oklahoma Panhandle State shooting complex. Add in the wind and it was anything but your average coarse. Lots of room for long range shots which many courses just don’t have room for.

    Practicing long crossers

    Had this happen to me yesterday. Went to a new coarse, thrower was roughly 35 yds to the left at about a 45 degree angle. Clay went high and fast to the right crossing at a 45 degree angle away. Clay was at 45 yards before l could get on it and fast. 4 tries and never touched it. Kept increasing...

    How do you guys handle ear protection whilst on safari?

    I use Walker game ears all the time. The enhanced hearing helps to pick up the softest noise, but the loud canceling blocks out the report of the gun. Really like them hunting upland bird hunting. Can hear the dogs running in the grass when you can’t see them. Also when big game hunting, can...

    Model 70 Range Day

    Very nice bunch of rifles! I do wonder why a 300 win and 30-06, especially when your loading 200 A-Frames in the 30-06.

    Leupold CDS Feedback

    Unless you’re using them on a rifle to shoot past 300-400 yards it’s a waste of time. Especially shooting at big game where you have at least a 8”x8” target to hit. It wasn’t that long along that Weatherby lead the industry with a guaranteed 1 1/2” group at 100 yards. And folks were shooting...

    Question for the reloading experts...

    Case head expansion is the way l measure pressure also. That and l do it on a hot summer day. Gives me a good safe reliable load under most conditions
  30. Mike Van Horn

    Question for the reloading experts...

    If you still have some loads , pull the bullet and weigh the powder Lyman lists 74 gr max, 225 bullet Hornady lists 72.8 max l have owned 4 different 338’s. My loads were all between 66 and 69 grains. Different for each rifle. All with 225 grain bullets. Either a 225 Hornady or a Barnes

    .264 WinMag load questions

    Had a 264 back in the 80’s. Can’t find the load data. But the only powder l used then was either IMR 4350 or 4831. Bullets 125 partitions. Took it elk hunting once so loaded 140 partitions. Both worked well. Really liked the cartridge.

    Colorado Lion hunting ballot initiative

    If you want to go Lion hunting in Colorado, one might get to it. This will more than likely pass. Just like the Wolf vote. There is a plus side to the Wolf reintroduction. The wolves are already here, and not total being managed. When they reintroduce them, Parks and Wildlife will have to manage...

    300 PRC for long range hunting cartridge?

    Nothing against the 300 PRC. But on big game to 600 yards it doesn’t do anything a 300 Weatherby hasn’t done for a long time now. For elk and moose to 600 yards l would go with the .340 Weatherby. Awesome cartridge

    Bullets for the .257 Wby mag

    I have used several in mine. 117 Sierra, 117 Hornady, 115 Berger. I settled on the 100 TTSX and 120 Northfork for big game. Got sub-moa accuracy with all. The Berger was used for target shooting out too 1000 yards
