.338 barnes 160 grain bullets
youngbuck replied to RTAYLOR's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
welcome to the CW.com! Ive never loaded up any 338 rounds. I do have a 338winmag. I would want something a little bit heaver. Ive never considered a 338 to be a flat shooter, but probably would be w/ 160s. I wanted a 250g accubond or a 300g sierra match king. I wanted something with alot of energy along ways off for long shots on elk. Guess im not to much help but welcome anyways. -
got in a hurry to load up some 300RUM tonight and didnt even think to clean my resizing die untill it was too late. the base holder pulled the rim off. I was gonna try and pull the primer pin to puch the case out but it wont come out all the way because the neck sizing ball. i tried puting a screw through the primer hole and pulling it out but its stuck good. Its setting w/ brake free now. Any suggestions?
-
well i got it out. I threaded the nut and bushing off the threaded rod for the neck ball. I put a bunch of washers on the rod. then i tightened the nut down on the washers. pulled the neck ball assembly out the top. Then i had to drive the case out. I bent steel rod, brass rod and everything else i tried. I took a #3 phillips extended bit and cut off the phillips end. used that for a punch. took a few real hefty swings w/ a 3.5lb hammer. It came out though. thnx for the ideas guys. i have a case remover in my cart for my next order. Any body havin issues w/ hornady one shot? seems like its gummin up real bad. switched back to the RCBS case lube

good to hear. i wouldnt have been able to bring it in, i would be scared they would take it . I would have kept it. I have always wanted a desert tortise shell to display. That one looks like it has a ton of color in it. more than the ones i have seen. congrats!

Ive been thinking about it lately. If anybody cares to PM id appreciate it.

man just a little guy. great find! anybody know the legality of picking one up. i though i heard somewhere it was a no no. i dont think it would stop me though

youngbuck replied to Coues 'n' Sheep's topic in Coues Deer Hunting in Arizona
I think we need to make an official txt list. I hate it when im out of the loop. I know alot of hunters and plenty of WT guys. I dont like it when a pic slips by me -
Lemme know if you want help with whatever you draw. Nothin more fun that helpin a kid get into the pigs.

Ive tried everybody's wonder recipe that takes javi meat and turns it into somewthing edible. None of it was ever any good. In fact some of the worst "food" ive ever eaten. Than being said i thought id never need to try another bite. One year in archery javi camp we grilled an entire bakstrap with a bunch of seasoning on it. It was killed that day and must got the gland taken care of. This was some of the best pork ive ever had. I am still extemely wary of eating any of it anymore but i do know for a fact that not all the stories are outright lies. I wish they all turned out like the one we cooked in camp.

I bought the value pack at bass pro and used em last wknd. They do take about 2 hrs to get going but last for probably 12-15hrs. i started em befor i went to bed and put em in my bed roll. Worked good. all night and all the next morning

Theres alot of reasons for me I guess. I always go dec 1st choice in a few different units. I like fewer people in the hills and the longer season to find what im lookin for. 2nd choice I look for units I can get drawn fairly regular. I choose different ones all the time, usually where i can find some dcenmt bucks for me and family/friends. Its nice to hunt closer to home but thats not a huge factor cuz i usually end up driving down to the border units atleast once if not twice a year to help guys. Same thing about border issues. Id rather not deal with it or have to worry about it but If i get asked to go on a hunt down south I dont think twice. It didnt used to bother me too much when i first got outa highschool. Id drive down scouting to border units regularly. Now id rather not deal with it.

I propose a new scoring system!
youngbuck replied to SilentButDeadly's topic in Coues Deer Hunting in Arizona
I just helped packed out an elk. I was one of the extra guys in the photo. Im sure everybody in the group woulda liked to have a few more too shot was at 815 back to camp at 230ish makes me wonder how the guys alone can do it. If you can more power to ya. -
Mearns opens Friday Nov 27
youngbuck replied to Red Rabbit's topic in Small Game, Upland Bird, and Waterfowl Hunting
Well I got lucky and found just 2 birds. I was to busy freezin my butt off and finding elk to shoot at. The birds were in camp in the middle of the day. First bird flushed dead away, and I missed. Dont know how but it happens. 2nd bird got up at about 10ft and flushed hard left. I swung and connected. 1st mearns, and a male.I only have cell phone pics. It was too cold for my normal camera or video camera to work. On a side note memory foam will freeze solid. -
Ive seen the ACI before. some one else make one too, cant remember who. I made one w/ a straw and protractor and plumb bob. I lost it some where and never used it.

Rifle Kick....looking for suggestions for next rifle
youngbuck replied to Redman's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
I have a break on my 300rum from vanhorn. Im shootin 180s and it is a dream to shoot. I never take it out w/ out hearing protection. I use banded ear plugs i wear like a necklace so they are always handy. I have back up disposables in my pack too. My dad shot my gun this year and he had the electronic muffs. He could hear my every whisper while being protected. He heard me better than normal too cuz he turned em way up so we could talk quiet. The best thing to cure flinching is a good trigger. You shouldnt know exactly when its gonna go off. It should break halfway through the thought of " ok it should fire now" For me thats about 2 lbs. some guys like less. some think 2lbs is too light. Once you get it sighted in, there is no need to go and shoot 20 rounds at a time. You will never feel recoil in the field if your shootin at something alive. If your shootin on a bench and are flinching. stop shooting. you will only make your reaction worse. -

Well I went scouting fri evening and sat morning for elk in the northern part of the state. Ive never shot a mearns but want to really really bad. I got into my gunsafe to grap a gun to haul along. I thought about the shotgun incase i saw a few mearns....No thats crazy your not gonna find any mearns. I grabbed the 223wssm incase a yote or bob cat showed up. Guess what!! 3 covies of mearns. One of the covies had atleast 2-3 dozen birds. Ive been kickin myself since -
well i awas anxious to see if i could catch the buck in my avatar, a big clean 3. to my dismay he did not show but this new kid on the block did and i got this pic too. fox or lion?

i use a 7dp. Ive heard the g5 is heavy. never used one though. some people dont like 7 pins either. If you do go 7dp get the small fibers in it. When i bought mine i think they offered 2 size fibers. 70yd is a long ways and the finer the fiber the easier for me

The monkey but powder works. I caught alot of crap for it on a dune trip. The 2nd day everybody wanted some. we were all on 2 wheelers.I love oragne accesories too, never lost my orange knive yet or lime green spoon. I also live by the windicators or powder puffers archery hunting Things ive wasted money on: The leica tripod adapter for the geovids is junk Swaro doubler never was better then 15 power cheap backpacks that wear out fast Never seen the turds i might order some just for laughs the buttout is a classic I always laugh at those deer carts too, but i suppose they are ok for back east in a field or somethin. I just laugh everytime i think about me draggin one of them in coues country

If your going to reload I would not suggest the WSSM. They are not all that bad but really trick at first. You gotta bump the shoulder back or you cant hardly lift the bolt handle or close it. Not sure what factory offerings are now. Seems like they dropped abunch at least in 223wssm. I think a 243 or 2506 would be at the top of my list. I started w/ a 243. It did a number on pigs WT and MD, even an elk when i was 10. I also had the option of shooting my dads 2506 when i was 10. It was too much recoil for me though.

the chef boyardees are good i like the raviolis. i also pack the single servings (with the pop top) of canned corn, beanie weenies, pork n beans, or bush's baked beans.normaly have some granola bars, oatmeal cream pies and the snack crackers w/ the cheese spread are really good, especially if you have meat sticks. paydays are good too cuz they dont melt. i like dried apples alot too
