One thing about Colorado is the amount of public land that there is to hunt. Lived there for 12 years and still hunt there almost every year. I recommend looking at the draw results to see which unit you can draw with little or no points. That will determine where you wind up going. Just...

I figured it was a scam... No CC and no phone, just wanted to share. Maybe prevent someone get ripped off. I do love the option of paying with bit coin thou, a nice touch. Cheers Ed

https://smokelesspowdersusa.com/ Just curious as they show a lot of powders in stock and want you to pay with Zelle or bitcoin.. Smells fishy to me. Thanks Ed

Hornady 110gr ELDX, .465BC. About as good as it gets for a 1/10 twist .257 rifle. 3100 FPS is not out of the question for the aforementioned 257 Bob and 25-06. Carries 1000 FtLb out to 900 yds. That will reach out and touch something. Cheers Ed

If you know of a source of Reloader 26 I would love to hear about it. Its unobtanium around here. I have been using Norma MRP and am down to around 3lbs left and from what I can find out Norma powders will never be available again here in North America. :cry: Hope the QL helps Take care Ed

After seeing this I had to run down to my gun case and make sure my 444 was still there, I swear you stole it. Scope and all else exact. Sure do like mine. Sub 1 groups with 280gr Swift A-frames at 2100 FPS. Take care Ed

I used to live in Colorado for 15yrs. I had to relocate for my job. I have no problem paying the non resident license cost. I just don't like being forced to purchase a license that I have no need or want. Utah does have Elk and deer, but I choose not to hunt here because of the overcrowding of...

Nine points should get you a tag pretty much anywhere, and I definitely feel your frustration. It take an investment of not just money, but a lot of time, especially waiting that long to just draw a tag you are wanting. Kind of a kick in the nuts... Grrrrrrrr. I gotta stop before I get fired...

I guess the $670 for the Bull tag or $496 for a cow tag just doesn't quite cover the cost for the privilege of hunting in the Peoples Republic of Colorado. Now just for the honor of applying I have to spend $81 on a NR small game license. If I wanted to hunt small game thats what I would...

And damned expensive too.. :shock:

Largest to smallest rifle calibers I have and use. 444 Marlin 7.65 x 53 270 win 257 Roberts 22 LR

Norma MRP, RL26.. 2 awesome powders for the 270 Win.. Should be able to get into the high 3100's safely. Take Care Ed

I read through that thread and got a lot of good info. There was one question posed that never got answered regarding the "C" and "T" that is listed on some of the powders. I think i know what they mean. "C" is for a powder that is compressible and "T" is for temp stable. Please correct me if I...
