I saw a guy walking out with the only bison skull I saw. Small skull. Has to be the one, but I have absolutely no way of identifying the buyer. You should have posted this BEFORE the expo, I would have happily picked it up for you.

Saw "AZTroutman" at the G&F Expo today buying some really nice deadheads through a buddy so his name couldn't be associated on the auction ledger... G&F officers recognized him, and mentioned the fact they would not be auctioning off the Powerline Buck.

I am not getting any vibe about you on this topic. I already said that. Not saying you have to prove your innocence either. If I was accused of something I did not do, I would be pissed too. Do you have history with rossislider? Did you ask him what "proof" he had?
-
Easy. I am not siding with ANYONE on the poaching. There is no proof either way, so why would I side with anyone in this case. Other cases, with known people, I lean more towards the probable. But I know of no other accusations against you, so I will give you the benefit of the doubt. I also stated that if rossislider was incorrect, an apology is 100% in order. I just don't see why anyone would start a rumor without a bit of evidence or having heard it from someone else. I actually only met rossislider once, when I gave his kid some free camo. I have never met you, so I have no skin in this game. Just stating what I have experienced with him. If it never happened, you have every right to be pissed. But, you have to realize....pretty much every poacher has vehemently denied being guilty until proof was given. But on the other hand, every innocent person also denies any wrongdoing.
-
I have no clue about anything that happened during the hunt. No one has proven anything. On either side. It is one person's word against another's at this point. What I know of rossislider is he is not a liar or a coward. If he made a mistake, that is his to correct and an apology is needed. If he believes what he wrote, that is another. If there is any proof like an actual eyewitness account, jury or not, that is evidence enough to me. None have come forth. Maybe this should have been hashed out in PMs, or in the original post.

Let me guess.....you drew a Unit 9 late rifle bull tag?😁

Just finished another stock for a member here. A few photos of the process. Came in as a black plastic Weatherby stock Cleaned it really well, and then primed it with 3 light coats and a sanding using 1200 grit before paint . 1st coat of primer 3 coats of primer Then 3 light coats of the base color, a flat khaki. 1st coat After 3rd base coat Then added some dark taupe on the bottom, and warm caramel on the top for some variation Laid out my patterns to hand cut...looks like a topo map of some nasty terrain Laid out the cut patterns on the stock Hit the green areas with 3 colors, flat sage, oregano, and army green After that dried, masked off the green areas, and hit the next set of patterns in 3 colors of grey/black. Flat light grey, charcoal, flat black. After I stripped all the masking and patterns. Then 3 coats of matte clear. Should blend in with the woods pretty well now.

In the wise words of Mark Twain...."It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubts" These people have not learned that lesson yet.....and now EVERYONE knows. Except the NASA shirt guy. Props to him.

Totally depends on the cartridge of choice. If it is any sort of a wildcat or Improved version (.260AI, 6.5SS, .25-06AI), then yes, I absolutely have to fire form brass before starting load development. But I work up a good fire forming load just like anything else and then use that load while fire forming to the improved chamber. If it is for a belted magnum cartridge know to grow a lot of headspace (like .264WM, 7RM, .300WM), I will start load development with virgin brass, get 95% done, then verify with fired brass and fine-tune as needed. For SAAMI spec non-belted cartridges, I would absolutely start load development with virgin brass.

I just buy a really fatty ribeye roast from Costco and grind it up for my burger. I try to do 20-30% of game meat weight.

Question about 308 win and 6.5 creedmoor
lancetkenyon replied to maximus's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
Bullet weight for bullet weight, 6.5CM will have better ballistics, but 600 yards will not be a big difference. Bullet BC for BC, 6.5CM will have less recoil. For steel out to 800, flip a coin. For deer out to 600, flip a coin. For me, honestly, I would go 6.5mm for a practice/steel rifle/deer rifle to 600. If a lightweight rifle is the goal, again, 6.5. One of the worst recoiling light rifles I have shot is my son-in-law's 7# .308. Have no clue why, but it SUCKED. Get what you can find components for. -
Since you didn't give a budget.... Tangent Theta TT315M or TT315H. You are welcome.
