    Unable to develop load for rifle

    Yes. It has nothing to do with the optic or mount. The same set up shoots factory ammo fine.

    Unable to develop load for rifle

    The agony continues. I ended up getting so frustrated I paid a guy 400 bucks to develop a load for me. He said I was pushing the bullet way too fast and dropped it from 77 grn down to 72. When I picked it up from him I shot a couple of rounds to make sure it was legit. Put two shots on steel...

    Any houndsmen here?

    Thanks for the tips. I'm done with the rabbits. I just tried a drag with the cat scent for the first time in a month or two and she was ON it. One thing I've noticed with her is that even though I expect to see her nose to ground sniffing the trail, she usually is hauling ass running the trail...

    Any houndsmen here?

    She's been pretty great so far. One hit on the beeper and she comes flying back, even when she's 1,000 yards away out of sight. She can sit and stay great. Still working on laying down and not stealing food wrappers out of the trash. I have taken her on tons of really long hikes in the...

    Any houndsmen here?

    Also, is it common for hounds that are good at hunting to not be good with obedience, or is that a huge red flag? The two new ones seemed to not listen well.

    Any houndsmen here?

    Thanks for the replies. Let me clear a few things up. I decided before I got her I'm not messing with fox deer etc. I want to focus bear, cats, and coons. The reason I have been using rabbits is because a few people said it wont mess her up later, and they are the easiest thing to get ahold of...

    Any houndsmen here?

    Ended up getting a 4 month old TWC Jan 1st. Training has been slow and a struggle so far. I have her reliable tracking scent drags like a champion when I use a whole dead rabbit carcass. But she hasn't tracked or treed anything alive. I've had rabbits run in front of her, and when I put her on...

    I didn't start off with the mandrel. It was a somewhat recent addition to try and help fix any possible neck tension issue. It didn't help either.

    Unable to develop load for rifle

    I might sell my whole set up. The though of dumping more money into a setup thats shooting no better than my short barreled gas gun makes me want to throw up. Over $5k worth of rifle/scope that just isn't working out. Not counting the stupid amount of wasted range trips and components. I...

    Thanks. I believe they were Hornady somethings. Maybe ELD. Sounds right.

    Unable to develop load for rifle

    Can you throw me the names of a few of the more likely ones? I probably won't have a lot to choose from.

    Unable to develop load for rifle

    Like I said it shoots factory ammo fine...Sub MOA... It's not the gun or me. ZCO optic is solid. I also did this with fire formed GunWerks brass prior to this, then switched to Petersen brass and went from 220 grain to 200 grains. I'm going to try and find some 185 Juggernauts or something...

    Unable to develop load for rifle

    Forgot to mention I set neck tension with a mandrel. .002 I think it is? Can't remember. Saami chamber I imagine. Forster micrometer comp dies. Not positive on the number for longest jump because I stopped caring about that number once I realized I want to be able to use my mag and needed to...

    Unable to develop load for rifle

    Shitty. I bought 10 pounds of H1000 and 400 Berger bullets due to availability and probably not being able to find more. Change from Bergers completely or just go down in bullet weight again? Ditch the H1000? Has anyone had quality components like Bergers flat out not work at all like this? I...

    Unable to develop load for rifle

    I started loading with the smallest safe jump from the lands and tested seating farther in from there. All crap. This time I started at max mag length and in from there. Spanned across 0.1 range. Something seems really off. Everyone I've talked to that does this a lot (PRS shooters, precision...

    Unable to develop load for rifle

    I have been struggling for a long, long time trying to develop a load for my 300 WinMag. Nothing seems to work. Bergara HMR 1:10. Shoots sub MOA with factory ammo. Peterson brass (new) H1000 Berger 200 grn hybrid targets I have tried 220 grain Bergers and different high quality brass. Large...

    First wolf

    "Wolves, like all animals, are a product of their environment and highly adaptable. Their size relates to their habitat and prey. Jon Rachael, F&G's state big game manager, said current wolf weights vary throughout the state. Packs adjacent to each other may have larger or smaller individuals...

    Not sure what you mean. Wolves were native and reintroduced? https://idfg.idaho.gov/question/there-difference-between-idaho-grey-wolf-and-northern-canadian-wolf

    First wolf

    I am absolutely amazed at the backlash I have received. I expect it from anti hunters, but I am surprised at the amount of people that hunt that have blasted me for shooting a wolf. Even people that coyote hunt. Bizarre...
