I grew up in Idaho. I've hunted everything that you can hunt in Idaho, nearly. I moved to another state when I got back from overseas Military and still hunt in Idaho. I don't like out of state hunters very well myself. So, now, as an out of state hunter in Idaho, I get flak from some "Dude"...
Pdog, I've reloaded since 1959 and I finally got a Bore Scope a coupla years ago, but I never ever thought of using it to check my brass for Incipient Head Separation! Thanks! A guy could check a whole "Lot" of one load where before, I'd cut a case in half to check the Incipient Head...
I have Blended lots of the same powders when I get more than one jug of the same powder at the same time. When you get the same powder but there's years difference in the lots, I have found that a new "same" powder is not the same animal and it's best to use the old powder up in your load data...
I have trapped Bobcat in Nevada since 1967 and I don't know the weight, but I have stretched several big Toms that were up to 49". I would have thought they were closer to 40# than to 30#. Maybe they get heavier as you pack them up the mountain!
