There is a deal pending on the Federal ammo.
I have sent a member a shipping quote. He didn't catch that I don't use electronic funds like PayPal and he is concerned I might be a scammer asking for a money order.
I completely understand his concern. I have sent him some links to other...
The butcher that we've used for 20 some years retired last year. Jeff did an awesome job for us. I know we got our meat back and it was cut, ground, etc the way we wanted it.
Working on getting a good grinder and setting up an area to do my own now.
@Short Track - That was just plain wrong...
Recently I went through my stash when another member was looking for some 300WSM ammo and I realized I had some stuff that I'll likely not need or use.
Here is what I've got:
1 Box of Federal Premium Speer Grand Slam 180gr, $45
2 Boxes of Federal Deer Thugs, 180gr Bonded Soft Point, $38...
Sometimes we just "do stuff".
I am currently tinkering with 125gr spitzer bullets in a single shot 30-30. Why? Cause it was a hair brained idea that I wanted to try.
I'd agree that the 150's would be a good choice.
Since you are planning to use Barnes bullets, I'd start with the Barnes manual.
Mono bullets shoot different than traditional cup & core bullets. The Barnes book with have loads based on their bullets.
The latest Sierra manual has load data for the new IMR Enduron powders.
If you use a...
Thanks.
Plan is to start with some light to mid range 150gr loads and go from there. Sounds like that will help me get a few more loads out of the brass.
Following.
I am just starting to load for my 300 WSM using once fired Federal brass from factory ammo.
Bummer to hear about the primer pockets. If I can get somewhere around x6 out of what I have, I should have plenty of time to find some ........?
Working up an IMR 4955 load for my .25-06 is on my summer to-do list.
So far I have been using IMR 4350 for 115's in my rifle and it does really well.
I am thinking that the newer Enduron powders will be on the shelf sooner than some of the others. When I talked to Hodgdon last year, they...
Neither do I and I agree with the rest of your thoughts in your post as well.
I don't want to see any Federal involvement, especially the current Federal government.
If I get priced out as a NR, I simply won't go. Others....... hard to tell.
I don't think it is a stretch so say Federal Land...
It sounds like you have the place to hunt, just need to add some adventure to it.
Like others, I got tired of stand hunting.
I bought a single shot pistol, a T/C Contender and learned how to shoot it. Silhouette matches added some variety to my off season shooting and helped me get better...
I wasn't sure about Knox or Campbell. Back when I was in the Corps, the few bases that were open to hunting were not necessarily open to the general public.
I know at one time the rifle range at Ft. Knox was open for competition however I understand that the current Base Commander is not very...
Correct. My thoughts are the same.
You are correct in that I did say that earlier.
Your assumption was that I was expecting the one price to be resident. At the time I made that statement, I was thinking the price should be what the state game department needs for funding and that would be...
Thanks for the info. I knew there was some out there.
I have for several years. Not a member of some lobby group though.
When my state wanted to increase fees & lower harvest limits, I responded to the survey, signed the petitions and attended the regional meeting & spoke to oppose the...
Kentucky: Gun season is 16 days. You can take up to 4 deer total, but only one buck per season in the zone I am in. Other zones have similar or less days and/or less harvest numbers. Resident license is about $70, non-resident is about $350. My zone is one of the better that I have seen...
