    Strange start to the mule deer season

    Sounds like a blast to me! Don't forget to bring a good camera and use it a lot! Good luck! I love the r&or that comes when I don't have the filling of a tag weighing on me.

    New Mexico Muzzleloader success.

    Wow man that is a fantastic adventure right there! How long did it take to draw the tag? Is there a particular reason you chose NM as the destination? You're hard core man; such an awesome adventure!

    2015 Hunting Pictures

    90 gr NBT from 6-250 @ 3k from muzzle. Love that bullet in this rifle; buddy shot his first public land deer w/ it and my 10 yo got 2 Texas boar in Jan but this was my first big game animal with it: What happened next was really awesome. Sheldon and I dropped Andy to get his second doe and...

    Leaving tomorrow

    Gunnar, Best of luck to you! I am on my way right now to the Lusk, Wy area... Just west of Omaha as I type... Doing the same thing! Pronghorn are an absolute hoot! You're sure to love it! Looking forward to pics, Eric

    Which Bullet?

    That right there. I took 180 RN Horns on my first pig hunt in Georgia where long shots would be 200-ish and they're excellent. Can't go wrong either way they're both awesome bullets but like others I went to a single load in my 06 of Ramshot Hunter under a 168 Ballistic Tip and haven't looked...

    WT 2015 Antelope

    Awesome work man that's fantastic! Really glad it worked out so well! Pronghorn are an absolute hoot to chase! I'm hoping to have pics of my pard & me w/ 4 does in the next several days!

    WT 2015 Antelope

    Very, very happy to hear of your success! 4 tags in 2.5 days huh? Good pace! My pard and I leave Weds after work & drive straight thru to Lance Creek with plans of filling 4 doe tags in 3.5 days. Tent camping; can't wait! Looking forward to seeing pics, Eric

    First Kills with the M48 280AI (Up Dated)

    Please pass along my congratulations to Sue for me Jim! I'm doing some work on my reloading set up and will have a bunch of ammo ready soon.... Need to play w/ my 280 AI out to 400 and I hear there's a club out by you where I can do that?? ;) ?

    WY pronghorn draw results?

    Thanks Dave that is my way of doing things also; bring at least 2 rifles so I have a back-up just in case! The 6.5x55 I have is GORGEOUS and in dire need of alone time so I'll probably be running a "euro trash" operation w/ 7x57 & 6.5x55. Sorry to hear ya didn't get a tag Jim! Maybe you guys...

    WY pronghorn draw results?

    Congrats; that unit treated me well on my first western hunt ever in 2010: 257 AI & 100 gr Interlock @ 197 yds bang-flop! My pard & I each scored a pair of antlerless pronghorn tags for area 9 and tomorrow I'm picking up my long-awaited 7x57!!!! Now the hard questions... So many virgins...

    Ramshot Powder

    Nice score! I LOVE Hunter... Have an 8 lb of BG but haven't had as great a results with it as with RL15. Magnum worked nicely in my 257 WM. Not to stick it in yer face or anything, but 8s are approx $150 locally ;) !

    Sometimes we overthink it...

    Mr. Allen is a great guy with a TON of experience. I used to have a rather complicated load work-up routine but have changed course. I now run the kiss, find pressure, rock on method advocated by an obnoxious yet highly experienced member of another forum. I find a COAL which allows the...

    Collet Sizing Dies

    I LOVE Lee Collet Neck Sizers, but as mentioned above the proper function is contingent upon proper cartridge OAL. One COULD use a 30-06 LCNS on a 300 Weatherby but it'd require dropping washers over the case after its in the shell holder to make up the difference in OAL. I find it easier to...

    General Purpose 223 load

    Mine is 24.5 but yes, this, if you can find H-335. My 1/9" M4 loves the Noz shotz 55s from SPS in whatever brass sparked by CCI-400s, and the NBTS of the same weight are interchangeable. Not fast, but accurate & death for steel, woodchucks, and coyotes!

    280 AI Range Day / Pressure Opinions??

    +1 If I wonder whether I'm stepping on it too hard I'll pull several random cases from my chosen lot & fire them first when I go to the range. This allows me to see how the load performs under different conditions and to see how primer pockets hold up. After 4x loaded w/o loose pockets I know...

    Nothing blemished about this

    Well I didn't want to say it in such a way as to push people their way, but yeah... Keeping em a secret is selfish; more for me. :twisted: As long as those .277 ABLRs are lasting I can see why Scotty can be more generous than me ;) .

    Nothing blemished about this

    I think if you loosen up the screws on your scope mounts you'll see why SPS sucks. Thank me later.
