Thank you for the information! I did not know about these GRT capabilities. Still waiting for a MAC version. If it does not come soon, I will set up a dedicated Windows system to run GRT. I think it will help me make much better decisions and save me time and money on the way to better loads.

I have been very pleased with VV powders. I am using N150 in my 404 Jeffery and .375 H&H and VERY pleased with N560 in my 7MM RM and 280AI. I am now working loads for my 308 Norma Magnum with N560... data is hard to find, but I am confident that I will find THE load for this rifle. I have bought...

Arrieta made fine shotguns. They used to be 'cheap' but check prices on these guns lately... way higher on the recent used market. I live in Sonoita - heart of Arizona quail country. I would not put Briley (or any) choke tubes in it... I'd have the fixed chokes recut to skeet and light modified...

I had a Windows emulator on a previous MACpro and it was faster that native Windows on the PCs I used at my company. I liked it but it never migrated when I upgraded platforms.

Thanks, Guy. Checking them out... e-mails sent. Mike

For me Cabela's is now simply waste of time. The usual Chinese junk. When I was younger the cool places were Eddie Bauer's and Abercrombie in SF... but I didn't have much money to spend. Now that I have the money and desire what's available? Cabela's? Big Box merchandising and quality gear do...

Guy I have killed several bull elk in NE Oregon. God bless landowner tags, I have often seen a lot of bears in that area when deer/elk hunting, bird hunting, fishing and just walkin' around. I would maybe like to do spring spot and stalk bear hunt - perhaps along the Snake or Grande Ronde. Any...

I learned something in Africa... there, nothing dies of old age. I don't do hi fives and hoot, but I am thankful and pay respects to the animal.

Refugees from other politically distressed states. I get it and I'm OK with it as long as they check their baggage at the state line.

That slightly increases the chances for the rest of us Arizonans. I would simply apply in alll possible states that offer elk hunting, though Arizona has some BIG bulls.

I now use aluminum funnels and load from a ceramic dish - No powder measures as I weigh each load. Slow, yes, but I am retired.

My first CF rifle was a M96 Swede Mauser in 6.5 X 55. That rifle would SHOOT! I hunted with it for a long time and killed my best mule deer (31-1/2") with it. But I am a LH shooter and moved to rifles more suited to my handedness. Great cartridge.

Tract Optics has what seem to be a well-made and well priced option to the usual brands of rifle scopes. I have been using Swarovski, Schmidt & Bender, Leupold scopes, but on my latest rifle I thought I;d try the Tract Toric Ultra HD 3-15X42. Don't know if the highest zoom (15X) will be usable...

I already posted about a rifle I recently received from Mark Bansner - a LH M70 classic in 308 Nprma Magnum. I aleady owne the rifle and took it to Africa a couple years ago when it was factory stocked 7mm RM. Excellent rifle, but I never really clicked with the Model 70 factory stocks and I...

A long compplicated story. Ostensibly congress and the government wanted to 'settle' the west so they gave the railroads millions of acres to run tracks across the country thus granting essential regional monopolies to the railroads (the RR lobby at work), for the cattle industry they granted...

Road closures have a significant benefit... the managing agency spends less money and man power maintaining the roads. For a federal bureaucrat this has powerful appeal. Everybody wants things the way they want them. This allows wedges to be driven between the users of our public lands, which...

Lately there has been a lot more nighttime helicopter traffic. Still a lot of sh!t going on here but much better than it has been for the past few years. Still, I take appropriate cautions when in the bush. Many of these drug smugglers are armed.

My first rifle as an adult was a 7mm RM. I still have it and hunt with it, it has convincingly killed a number of elk as well as impala, reed buck, hartebeest, roan and zebra. All except one zebra were DRT with 160 A Frames or Nosler PTs. It is a timeless and very successful cartridge design.

I have a 280AI M70 with 24" 1:8-1/2" twist barrel. Have a box of 150 ABLRs. would like to try these out, but before I start burning components and time I thought to inquire here about experiences and suggestions from you all.

I would take the 28 ga O/U with skeet and I/C tubes. Shoot 3/4 oz. of #8 shot. Pay attention at all times - there can be dangerous situations when hunters and dogs get excited or lax.
