Very sorry to read this news-

Swift can’t keep up with demand for the bullets they already produce so this is a huge surprise to me. I don’t see replacing the ablr which is already tried and proven- The sloppy half ass produced video was unimpressive as well, seriously that’s your video you want to put on YouTube?!

Hmmmm, I live just outside Of Sp. Fork. It was snowing there this morning. Beautiful pics, good to Come home to!

I keep it all. You never know when something new will come along or an unexpected opportunity. I had a guy bring me a Ruger youth rifle last Fall. It hated everything I tried. Then I saw on line another guy or two had found what that rifle loved. I had some and was able to get that finicky...

I’ve seen a couple of the tv famous draw extremely hard to get tags-but I think it’s because they are applying for everything that comes along. You should also realize that the best bull Units nationwide require over 20 points to draw. Utah and Wyoming where I apply are both in that category...

That’s a big pretty cat

My 28 nosler loves us869 -glad you got stocked up

I think my brother still has one that he considered selling once upon a time. I’ll contact him and pm you if he is willing to sell-

I’m scratching my head as to why you would do load work up in the heat but expect accuracy in the cold. It seems to be a better plan to do load work in moderate spring and autumn temps on the shoulders of hunting season. ?

Working towards a new rifle in 30 Nosler. I’ve got the powders, brass, primers, bullets and dies-now I need the rifle! I have a 7stw I could convert I think, when I have the money saved I will get more serious about it. Hope it’s this year tho-

Oryx could also be New Mexico. In your shoes I would just stay with the 180 ttsx or Accubond in the 300. 180 accubond is my favorite load for that caliber. The .308 i would use the 165 accubond, I like the velocity better and prefer its performance over the BT. Just me tho-

I bought a new 250 when I graduated paramedic school 20 years ago. The computer system died while I was pulling my trailer to my elk hunting spot. Long story short it took over three months to fix it. I had multiple numbers for the western regional manager and her “boss.” It was the worst...

Really love my 28. I often use factory 175 ablr but I have worked up my own load which is a bit faster. Longest shots I have taken have been in the mid 400’s and the performance has been excellent. Probably my favorite rifle right now- I can shoot very accurately to 750 yards, I struggle...

Most states going to an on line system now-even allowing digital federal duck stamp. Don’t know if Arizona got that far yet but it was super convenient in other states I hunted-our Brittany went completely deaf this year and was retired from the field in November.

Just for the fun of it, check out Von Gruff knives in New Zealand. Anymore I carry two knives but lots of blades- a stout fixed blade belt knife and a havalon with replacement blades. But then I’m not on a cattle ranch :)
