    2023 Colorado Secondary Draw Results

    Serious question for those in the "kids should get full preference in the 2nd draw because we need more kids out hunting" camp. Why not then, give them full preference in the initial draw? Let them draw first, then us adults get our own draw after the kids have grabbed up whatever they want? Or...

    What gear are you looking to buy before this fall?

    Not too much this year. Waiting on a Wyoming Saw 2 I got off FB for $20. Wife and I ordered some Kuiu Kenai bomber hats. Otherwise, just some things nit specifically hunting related fof our drop camp hunt this year.

    I should clarify that neither were through Rokslide. All my purchases here have been excellent.

    People suck

    Short whiny rant. Last month was set to go look at a wall tent that I was assured I had first dibs on once it was back from Davis for a zipper repair. After a few strange messages where it was evident the dude thought he was messaging someone else, he miraculously decided "we're going to keep it...

    Crunchin Kernels

    I hear ya. I was able to jam the last bullets I loaded for this rifle in to the lands. Same with these. This is the first Tikka I've had where the magazine length was long enough to put them in the lands.

    Crunchin Kernels

    Appreciate the reply. I wouldn't say it bothers me at this point. I'll shoot them and see how they do. I certainly wasn't fighting the press handle. Could just feel it a little bit at the end of the stroke almost like rubbing some sand together.

    209 shot shell primers.

    Have you used them to ignite BH 209 in a muzzleloader? If so, and no issues, that is good to hear.

    Got a box of 143 ELD-X to load in my son's 6.5 Creedmoor. Had previously been loading NBTs. Anyways, book COAL says 2.8". I'm at 2.818 and still feel kernels being crunched at the max load of 42 Grains of IMR 4350. Anything to worry about? I have some room to make them a bit long as I measured...

    How much to tip your hunting guide?

    What about drop camps where the hunting part is on your own?

    Colorado 2023 Draw Results - Mule Deer

    The unit we have been hunting 2nd choice doe on while building points had a 75% decrease in tag allocation. No tags for any of us. Thought the unit was south and east enough to not be hit hard, but apparently CPW thought otherwise, and I support the decision. Drew our rifle bull elk and...

    6,000 loaded or empty? That answer will either filter out some replies so far or include them.

    Outdoor RV makes a great trailer. May have trouble meeting his 6,000 pound limit though.

    I have a 2015 Lance 1995. It's been places it probably shouldn't without the lift kit, but so far so good. We love it. Had it for just over 5 years and have taken it on everything from a quick weekend trip, 10 day multi state trips, and plenty of hunting trips.

    Painless load development (mine)

    A bit of a conundrum. The new gun shot great at .5 grains under max, IMR 4350. COAL is SAAMI max of 2.825. Loaded 15 for my son to shoot after seeing to have pressure issue at max load. first 5, .9" at 100. Next 5 "truing velocity" at 300 (my first time doing it this way). Vertical dispersion...
