    Problem with Hornady bullets

    The dryer sheet might be a helpful fix here. I use H4350 daily for my 6mm CM and have never had these kinds of sticking problems.

    .284 Shehane and .284 velocities 26" barrel with 180's???

    It would probably be quite an elk cartridge!

    .284 Shehane and .284 velocities 26" barrel with 180's???

    Just curious but what's the purpose for this rifle build? I'm intrigued by the idea.

    Hatch Bipod: Any Reviews? Experiences?

    Yes, I agree, @b6graham about it's intended use. It's potentially also a great alternative to carrying around a bulky tripod + PIG Saddle, and easier to readjust from a sitting position.

    Hatch Bipod: Any Reviews? Experiences?

    On a recent hunting trip in the Kaibab (northern AZ), I had a chance to photograph the hunt of the young man you see in the pics below. It was his first buck mule deer tag (not bad for a first buck!). He used the "Hatch" Bipod (named after three brothers who own/run Hatch Outwest Precision)...

    Hunting & Fishing Better footwear?

    I'm an architectural and real estate photographer, who often photographs vacant land parcels in rural AZ, way out in the wilderness, in addition to hunting frequently, and I can offer some feedback on three models of Danners and Keens. I say "models" because I don't want my comments below to be...

    Rifle Scopes Who makes the best rail for a Tikka T3X?

    I cannot offer a comparison, but I can speak positively of the Mountain Tactical rail, which I have used for the past 3 years on my Tikka T3 CTR (.308). I've used the rifle in PRS-style matches and several hunts. Two thumbs up from me.

    Hunting & Fishing Hornady 103 Gr ELD X (6mm) Results?

    That's impressive. I've had great luck with the whole line of ELD Ms in a hunting context. I killed my buck antelope this year with a 225 gr ELD M--great damage.

    Rifle Scopes New US - Optics JVCR reticle

    I like that. I've been liking the floating dot "crosshairs" idea more lately.

    Rifle Scopes Looking for Mid-Range Scope: ATACR 4-16, Vortex Razor HD 3-18, or Steiner T5Xi 3-15x50?

    I appreciate the detailed response. I hadn’t really considered the vudu but I also have no reason to discard it.

    Rifle Scopes Looking for Mid-Range Scope: ATACR 4-16, Vortex Razor HD 3-18, or Steiner T5Xi 3-15x50?

    Your point about illumination is well taken, since low light shooting conditions are pretty normal in hunting scenarios. For me, I don’t mind Christmas tree reticles, so long as the upper half is relatively clear, as with the H59.

    Rifle Scopes Looking for Mid-Range Scope: ATACR 4-16, Vortex Razor HD 3-18, or Steiner T5Xi 3-15x50?

    I definitely hear what you’re saying. On the whole, I don’t mind carrying heavy rifles. I just keep them in my eberlestock gun slinger, which distributes weight well. Your talking to someone who’s taken his last 5 game animals with a PM II mounted on top, lol

    @withoutwarning: Where did you see that? I just surveyed their social media and didn't see any announcements. What am I missing? Thanks.

    I didn't realize that an XTR III was about to drop--Shotshow maybe? In any case, that would be worth looking at for sure. And @Desert Raven the reticle is a factor that I forgot to mention. Thanks for the reminder.

    That's a good point. It's right there in price point. I've been kind of blind to Leupold lately, haven't used there stuff in years. have you had a good experience with this optic?

    Rifle Scopes Looking for Mid-Range Scope: ATACR 4-16, Vortex Razor HD 3-18, or Steiner T5Xi 3-15x50?

    I'm looking for a mid-range optic for a hunting rig, so shots 1000 yds and under, and will rotate among a 300WM, .308, and 6mm CM. I would like the scope to be aroudn $2000. I've narrowed it down to these three, but am open to other suggestions. All of these can be found on the used market for...
