Strip it down and have fun. There is a lot of finish advice out there, I'll pitch in if you want! EE2

The '06? My thoughts are I'd rather try to shrink a triangle than a big horizontal or vertical string, or two close and the third out in left field.... I'll bet you get it done!! EE2

No, Fotis but the prairie dogs are getting tougher and the grizz and lobos are headed towards Cheyenne. :) Interesting concept, haven't read any usage reports yet. EE2

I'm fine with gray 115's, partly because I have never used 115's and don't have any blue tips to create confusion. If I did I would get a blue sharpie! This thread has more legs than I intended. :) EE2

Looking forward to working them up. My fav Hornady 120HP's were discontinued. Love having the excuse to do development. Think I'll shoot some jugs, too! EE2

Or somebody forgot to empty the tip bin?? :) EE2

I think I've seen this question before, but can't find it when searching. I just got 4 bags of these from SPS, and the tips are colored grey instead of blue like they usually are. I think maybe that's what made them be 'blems'. Anyone else experienced mis-matched tip colors on BT's??? EE2

Thanks Shade Tree, Here's a little more grip and finish detail. I enjoy playing with stains and getting the finish the way I want. Also enjoy the checkering, but it takes me a long time.

Well, a 788 doesn't have to be ugly. There was a lot of variation in the wood quality, but most can be dolled up. This is one I worked over for a good friend.

Looking forward to the story! I'll be out in the Wyo hills later this week, cow tag. Went scouting October 10th, saw bulls everywhere - no open season before that, and the bull tags need a bunch of preference points. Still just great knowing they are there. Scotty, I dunno if you have points...

I wrap most with cling wrap and freezer paper. Got a new freezer this year and decided to read up, and learned a couple things. The advice is - if you're loading a significant quantity into the box at one time, turn down the thermostat ahead of time, get the temp to -10 (minus 10) or so BEFORE...

I use the Lee trimmer set up. After chamfering while the case is still chucked up in my cordless drill I run the case mouth against some handheld steel wool. Smooths up the edges nicely. EE2

Yep, Doc, we'll take easy anytime these days. We did hike and hunt all morning which was very enjoyable. We were fortunate for sure. Washed it out thoroughly, hauled it home in 45 minutes, skinned, cooled, then cut up and ground burger late the next day. The spaghetti sauce was excellent! EE2

Ah, DrMike, thanks for catching my request!! Plenty to base off of there....now to find some RL16. Fotis might know if its in Cheyenne. Thanks!

I've got all Alliant's data. They haven't updated it since the first announcement came out. Quickload anyone? 24" barrel. Nosler Brass. CCI 250's. 139 Hornady flat bottoms and 140 AB's.

I've looked at the limited published data. Wondering if anyone has experience using RL 16 and mid-weight bullets, like 139-140 grainers? Not much info out there. I have a decent load with RL17, but RL16 might be a better match. I've got 139 Hornady and 140 AB's. EE2

Raised in Wyo, the first big game animal I harvested long ago was a pronghorn antelope. My fascination and respect for them has never changed. As many know, antelope come with many different shapes to their horns, and also some significant facial features. Although I have taken many over the...

Fotis, your shooting skill just amazes me! Out of all the groups posted by folks, yours are consistently outstanding. Now that I've entered the curmudgeon category when someone says "This gun won't group" - I can't help thinking the gun might not be the only problem! Not you, mister! EE2

Good advice here! What I don't think I read was some help in the regularity dept, whether runny or plugged up! I always have some hard braid nylon rope, not parachute cord. Antibiotic ointment. Eyedrops. Lens cleaner solution and cloths. Muzzle covering tape, balloon, or whatever. Boresnake...

I take a decent topo, GPS, extra batteries, and a regular old compass. Been temporarily confused a few times! EE2
