Big or Bust

Both my 7-08's are at 6 3/4 and 7 pounds on the nose, all up.... Recoil is a nonissue and I hate recoil...

I agree. My Nosler brass, in 7-08 and .280 Ackley, has been good stuff...

Gotcha.... You form your .280 Ackley brass the same way I do.. grin...

Lance, prolly missed my question. How are you forming your brass? Thanks...

It's at 15k acres now. Tripled in size. Mountain getting evacuated....

And it was 5k acres early this morning. I assure you it blew up this afternoon...

It's worked uphill quite a ways, I'd say the fire is less than a mile northeast of Hitchcock Campground at the upper head of that canyon. It's in the thick trees at least some above 6k feet... We watched pines explode and slurries getting dropped before they closed the bottom....

Guaranteed man caused. Not a cloud in sky yesterday....

Saw the smoke yesterday morning and thought they put it out.... Guess not. .

Bye bye Photobucket..... Hope they bankrupt in a month...

Use both for plant fertilizer....

Forgive me Lance, how is brass formed?

Do the 36's and a belt. Better than chode chafe climbing a big hill. I'm right at your size...

I've had so many custom rifles. Soooo, sooo many and with most rifle loonies you send them down the road and then loose your butt.. You will lose less of your butt with a rifle that has brass that is available OTC and with a cartridge folks don't have to Google... Unless you are keeping it forever, and I mean forever, often times less is more. Cartridges are more alike than different....

The Swede will do about 100-150 fps faster, plus or minus, with like pressures, barrel length, and powders, etc. Simply a case capacity question...

Triple tap. Sorry. Bad connection.

Double tap. Sorry

Great story. Great reminder. What happened to you is my worst fear in most of the places I hunt. I carry a Delorme in-reach. Hope your ankle healed up.

I'm talking about the S2. It's far more than the best spotter for the money...

About as good as it gets for a spotter in the 80mm class...

Thanks for the laugh OP. Maybe heed your own advice rather than give it?

Saw that today from Tucson and thought it looked closer to Nogales than the fire in the Chiricahuas...

I did that about 4 years ago. Quit a really good job here locally and started my own company. My wife quit her job the next year to help me. Best thing I ever did...

SLR or x47 from your list. If you are using the LA Tikka Mags I'd run a 6.5-06...

Your SGK expanded just fine.... No room for error in a neck shot. Better hit bone which you didn't or you'd have a dead critter with a cup and core bullet...
