Great set-up Guy! Just something about a stick and string in hand, not to mention a great time of year to be hunting.

Just a couple more September Colorado High Country Pics

Good evening - Making another drive-by, as I can't ever seem to find a few moments of me time to collaborate with everyone on here like I used to. My season is already over, and gotta say it was phenomenal. The usual highs and lows, but I was able to share this year with my family and my boys...

Thanks Gents & thanks JD - I swing by here & there, just getting a bit rusty with the rifles unfortunately.

It's been a long time since I've had to hunt this hard to put food in the freezer. It's been a long hunting season so far with both my wife and son drawing archery elk / deer tags to start with. Their determination and persistence impressed me, as they hunted hard all of September. With my son...

Jake - I'll be interested in your review after you get some miles on it. Definitely a decent size ;) I'll be taking my 3000 for the first trip this weekend. I didn't draw an archery tag this year, so the downsize will work fine this year. Photo of my wife & I last year on an intended 5day...

The 55gr BlitzKing has been one of my favorite coyote bullets. I don't save the hides either, as the bullets are very frangible, as well as consistently having the same results. Massive holes!

I'd second or third a 115 grainer!

Thanks Gents - Spent the past weekend in Wyoming putting the hurt to some p-dogs. This was the first time my kid has had a lot of trigger time & he's already for more. ( I'm on the bench right now loading more ) Anyway, I was able to narrow the issue down to a box that had been primed, but...

Thanks Mike - So I've always seated the primer, and then "feel" if you will or set the case on a flat counter / desk type surface to ensure they are flush if you will. Is this correct? I know if they aren't in all the way, it makes for a very hard bolt closure. I agree with some of the...

Thanks for the input Gents - My Mother purchased the rifle for my dad new in the early 70's - It's one of a twin I guess, cause there is a 7mag in the same flavor. Part of the equation I can't remember is which box already had primed brass from years back, and which ones I resized and...

IMR 3031 - .6 grains under max. To my knowledge, it's the only load, powder that has ever been used in it.

I finally made it back to the range today with a combo I could get on the paper. I posted a few weeks ago, about concerns of some Hornady bullets that were tarnished / corroded, but I ran them through the tumbler, and they are all shine new. This is an early 70's Remington 700 that has always...

I originally called Hornady and they requested the lot number. After giving it to them, it wasn't coming up in their system, so they requested photos of which I've sent and just waiting a response. If I had to guess...... 35years old. A bit odd however - guessing the cardboard absorbs...

I was finally able to get out with a great friend earlier this year to chase some dogs!

Thanks Gents! Great to still see everyone here. All the brass is prepped & ready for powder, so I'll start tonight. Hope to make it to the range tomorrow, so will post how it does.

I've got the itch again Gents, and dusted off a lot of my RCBS components. This will be the first year my kid is old enough to hunt here in CO, and want him to have a lot of trigger time before the season is here. We're covered on the big game calibers, but thought it would be great to pull out...

Unfortunately a month and a half in the high country was rough on the Ultra 6000. I ended up with three separate holes in it - just not a reassuring feeling if needed to pack and elk out for miles. I have no qualms with the fit, as you stated Vince, it feels great. KUIU provided great customer...

I'm still not sure which one I'm using this year. Both the second & third from the right will be ready to go.

By the way - great photo Guy!!
