Yes, you can carry a firearm in the National Forest in California, I wonder why they didn't?
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) said the mountain lion was euthanized near the scene of the attack. The lion was sent to the CDFW forensics laboratory for analysis.
I'm a member on only 2 forums, this one and the Hammer forum, both great forums with considerate, helpful members on both. The beauty of these 2 forums is we talk about all bullets on both forums.
Don't give up, Scotty ! With my 280 Rem and 140g Absolute Hammers it took me 3 different powders and increasing the crimp, until I found an accurate load. Unlike my 25-06 and 22-250 both with AH's, I found accuracy right away.
Nice!
So what cartridge is your 25 Sherman based off of? I see your case says 280ai but when I looked up 25 Sherman it shows the 25 SST or Sherman Short Tac.
When I started working up my Hammer load I tried both WLRM and CCI LR, there was very little difference in velocity and at the time I had more mag primers so I continued with them.
I've used both magnum and std primers with Hammer bullets, it's varied on which worked best. I believe I have tried both with my 280 Rem, I'll check my notes when I get home this afternoon and let you know.
