    WTT 3 boxes 338 bullets for 2

    I have at least 3 full boxes of 338 Barnes LRX 280 grain bullets I will trade for 2 boxes of Barnes 265 gr LRX. Yep I wanted to shoot the 280s my gun wanted the 265s. I will look tomorrow to see if I have a partial 4th box of 280s. If so they go in the deal too

    I am unorthodox when doing load development

    I went back and looked at my notes for all my rifles. I also looked at my message above, because I knew I normally start below max as noted above. However, I could not remember how much below max and from my notes I never started higher than 1 grain below max for the bullet and powder...

    I am unorthodox when doing load development

    Very valid points on max loads and will note that going forward. I have had a bad habit of operating under the belief that published max loads by manufactures are conservative. While they may be in some cases, as I think about my prior work I know that to not be true. I would venture to say...

    I am unorthodox when doing load development

    Or, I think I am. I just got a new 6.5 PRC from a member here. I have 5 different bullet options that came with the gun or that I had. I also have a ton of powder options in stock. Here is what I do. Step one I record all the max loads published by bullet manufactures for each of the...

    Guide or No Guide?

    MNTNGuide giving some good advice there. I am not a guide. I am not an outfitter. His best statement is “depends on what you want out of the hunt”. I have hunted elk with a bow since 1994 - I think. I have taken a good bull every year that I have went with the exception of one. I think...

    Painting a stock - Krylon says not clear coat????

    Geewhiz: Here is the second gun I painted recently. The true colors are not captured exactly in these photos because the sun had set too low before I took them, but you get the idea. This is a grey/brown color. It has a primer coat, a coat of dark brown, then a coat of otter brown, then...

    Painting a stock - Krylon says not clear coat????

    I am updating this because I learned a little and it may help others who see this in the future. With regards to Krylon’s concern about adding clear coat, my belief is all or nearly all of those concerns are eliminated if you first apply their hard to coat primer. That is not the name, but...

    Browns - gear that just worked last month.

    I too was surprised. To answer your question, yes and no. Yes, I will replace it for wilderness hunts where I expect temps below 42 degrees with wind. My guide had told me before I put it on that it would trap the cold. I thought he was insane and a KUIU hater. I am a huge Kuiu fan...

    Recommendations for guided moose hunt - looking for 70 inch moose

    Yes, I would. However, I understand it is really really difficult to judge animals. I am best at whitetails and I can be way wrong at times. I am normally within 3 inches either way, but not always. Back to your question, if we thought the moose was 65 inches on day one, then no I...

    Recommendations for guided moose hunt - looking for 70 inch moose

    Well those are some powerful words. And, what I need to hear. I have a friend that shot a 79 inch moose a few years ago. It is featured with WTA. He wanted an 80 inch moose and I thought that was insane to go after, but he got darn close.

    Ignore the amount of marble paint. I can adjust that when I actually paint. Some of these are a little light on marble.

    Painting gun stock - finished

    Here are some samples I painted on buckets. I don’t have any one that just says “heck yes” this is it. I am on my 4th or 5th bucket getting better each time. What do you like.
