Awesome video...no better way to spend time with the kids.

Excellent strategy Willard. The Paramount would probably be better for longer range shooting based on reviews I've read. I shoot a 50 cal Accura and it shoots about an inch group 1t 100 yards. My max range on game is 250 yards. Based on ballistic calculators my bullet will strike with enough...

Congrats to your wife! I hope to one day draw that tag.

E-tags are more work and more likely to make a mistake. I would never select that option.

Beautiful. I couldn't imagine walking up to either beast. That elk is primo!

3 for 3..sounds like what you are doing works.

You should be able to find a cow in easier country.

Cool!

I have an old .50 firebolt it shoots pretty good out to 200yds. It has a 1:32 twist. I never knew they made a .45. Cool rifle.

Pretty cool. Pretty sure CVA just came out with a .45 that is capable of shooting 140 grains by volume of BH209...not sure what that would actually be by weight.

Barnes Vortex ammo in another rifle grouped a little better.

I shot some of the factory loads yesterday. The shot about 1.5" at 200 yards.

In all reality $65 isn't going to 'make or break' anyone who's paying the big bucks anyways to apply for and hunt in NM. Got to keep things in perspective. Cost of travel, cost of a box of shells, cost of equipment, cost of outfitter...etc. Keep smiling and Merry Christmas.

CVA Accura, 110 grain 777, 250 Grain Barnes TMZ. 100yds +2.5 160yds 0 200yds -7 Rifle will shoot about a 1" group at 100yds and 2" at 200yds if I do my part.

That is awesome!

Since you mostly hunt deer I would say 270wsm. I've always wanted one but never got around to buying one. It will handle elk in a pinch, as my plain jane 270 win. seems to just fine on elk too.

Nice!

you should be happy with the barnes

Cool picture and nice buck!

Too cool!

Talley makes an extended two piece that works on my savage in .300 win mag.

Awesome!

You won't be disappointed.

At the range and for cleaning I use a dedicated range rod (CVA Trophy ramrod). The range rod is non-abrasive and much easier to use than the rod that comes with the gun. When hunting make the first shot count and you'll have all the time in the world to reload. I use the rod that comes with...

from what I have experienced 777 should give higher velocities than pyrodex given the same volume.

A little off topic, but it would be awesome to read a hunting story where some average hunter killed an awesome buck (or other big game) with a regular cartridge (.30-06, .270 Win, etc) at an average range, with a bullet and rifle that most guys shoot. It's exhausting reading about all the...

Interesting. How's recoil compared to a 7mm Rem. Mag.?

250 grain barnes tmz has worked great for me on deer and elk. I plan to use them again this fall. Plenty accurate at 300 yards but the wind messes with it too much at that range. I feel full confident at 250 yards

I've killed deer and elk with core-lokts. They aren't the toughest or most aerodynamic but the deer or elk didn't know that.

I have never shot BH. My Accura shoots great with the 250 grain Barnes TMZ with 110 grains of 777

My first big game rifle was a .270 Win. I have kill three cow elk, a bull elk, javelina, pronghorn, oryx, mule deer. I like the higher velocity, light recoil, and ammo availability. The rifle is 22 years old and is still my go to gun to this day. My second choice would be a 7mm-08. Good luck

Shop around. You should be able to find an Accura for under $400. I couldn't be happier with mine. I feel like it's an extension of my right hand. Deadly accurate and I have full confidence in it. It has never let me down on several mule deer and a bull elk. Mine shoots really well with...

Go buy a lottery ticket! You have to be one of the luckiest guys in the world. Congrats!

I haven't shot the 6.5 seems like a decent round but nothing 'magical'. .308 has stood the test of time.

Good job!

Awesome! Best of luck in 2018!

Happy New Year!

BH209 will not work in that gun. I would use the heaviest conical your gun will shoot. The Barnes may work if your rate of twist is fast enough. Good luck.

Congrats! Nice deer.

try the 300 or 338 grain platinums
