I have 24# of RL23.... I actually shoot H1000 with the 131 BJ and 121 HH. I use N565 in my 6.5SSs with heavier bullets like 144, 150, 156s.

Same here in north central Phoenix.

4D rentals. Big selection, good prices.

I would say totally legit. Have you seen how many fireworks get set off in the lower income neighborhoods! Surprised fireworks stands don't take EBT!

Just saying, ADOT/MCDOT doesn't do ANYTHING fast. And with Fish Creek Hill being closed, it is going to suck getting to Apache Lake for the next year and a half.

Not "this winter". "This winter, next spring, next summer, next fall, next winter".

Glad this is in MOA and not MIL..... Good deal, from a great seller.

This is posted in the "antelope hunting" section. So guessing antelope.

I'll take it.

RSW?

I am having a new barrel spun up on a rifle. I am going with .260AI. Standard reamers for both .260 Rem and .260AI both use a .060" FB. I am more that likely going with a longer FB set up to seat the 140 Hyb out a bit further, but need some numbers. Does anyone have a .260 Rem and shoots 140 Hyb? If so, can you give me CBTO with that combo at the lands? I am thinking this should be about 2.095"?

As I lay here in my tent, Mr. Buddy heater on low, 6" of snow surrounding us, camp 75% packed up....well...what can I say. Taylor is a badas$. We packed up Tuesday night and headed to Kaibab Wednesday morning. Rained the first 4 hours of the drive until we hit The Gap. We were ready for a 12 day mule deer marathon. Taylor was so excited to finaly be on the road.... The rain held off just long enough for us to set up camp, then started snowing. We tried to get some scouting in, but it started snowing hard enough we couldn't see 50 yards. So we headed back to camp for some dinner and a good night's sleep. Thursday morning, snowing up top, raining down low. Scouted down low, saw a couple "end of season" bucks tending does. Went up top in the afternoon, and battled the snow. Saw 3 more "end of season" bucks, but a lot of deer. Lots of smaller bucks too. With 2 minutes of "legal light" left as we were heading out...we saw an "opening day" buck. Only about 26" wide, but really tall, good forks, good mass, and a nice 6" sticker on his left antler off the G3. He would be our goal on opening morning....or so we thought. Opening morning showed clear skies, 19°, and snow covered hills above 7000'....and fog. Made glassing more than 100-200 yards impossible. So, we left the location we had seen the big buck for later, and went to a spot that has produced for us in the past. Got there just as the sun was breaking, and glassed up one of our "end of season" bucks and passed on him. I walked out on a point to glass some canyons and started picking deer out, from 200 to 2000+ yards away. Found a decent 4x4 @ 1575 yards, but across 7 or 8 canyons....no thanks. Found a 1 antlered 3 point, and I swear I saw 2 lions hightailing it. Couldn't get a good look, but definitely not deer running like that, and light tan. So back to the truck,and fog had burned off by 8:00. Decided to drive back and look for the big buck. On the way out, I was glassing every finger and cut....at 8:40...."there are some does.....ooh. And a buck. You might want to get out for this one....and grab the rifle....yeah, grab the rifle for sure." I range him, "430...dial 1.5MIL. He is moving....454, dial 1.7MIL. He is quartering away...he stopped...put one in him." BOOM! "He is down! Great shot!" We watched him for 10 minutes without so much as an ear twitch. Got landmarks, grabbed the packs, crossed two canyons, and definitely no ground shrinkage when we got to him. 5 hours of exhausting pack out. At the check station, they measured him at 31" inside spread, 33.25" outside. Taylor made short work of the late season, getting her buck about 1.5 hours into the hunt. And topping my biggest buck I have ever taken too. I am so proud of her, for the hard work she puts in shooting, for the positive attitude, for wanting to spend time with me, and her being such a great kid. I thank my wife too, for putting up with the time and money I put into hunting. And most of all, I thank God for allowing me my health, my wonderful family, and the beauty and the creatures he put on this earth.

I have another wall....and another BIG room!

4 of 5 were mounted by Chris Krueger. The small 3x4 in the center was way back, by Mark @ Wildlife Creations.

Finally got him back and on the wall. Took a while, but the results are outstanding.

I had a decent buck show up out at Joe Foss Shooting Complex a couple months ago. He was just hanging out on the main range, and would not leave. I ran out and finally herded him off the range so we could start shooting.

Thank you. 2.188" in my 6.5SLR fits in a factory mag box, and gets 2800fps w. 140s.

With BH209, 2600+fps.

And what is your FB and CBTO?

Should archery hunts be limited to 40 yard shots? For some people, absolutely. But equipment has changed, practiced archers are out there, and I hear of 100 yard shots. Muzzleloaders have changed. A 600 yard ML is quite common. Rifles have changed. 1000+ shots are common. Rangefinders, optics, packs, vehicles, etc. have all upped the game. Hard to draw the line. Cams have already been outlawed. No need to push MORE regs. Self control is where we need to push ourselves.

It is allowed on a rifle hunt.

I thought, technically, a hunting license is considered written permission to be on STL.

You guys would complain if they hanged you with a new rope....jeez. Don't like it? Don't buy a raffle ticket. No need to $#!+ on the post of a great organization who does more for wildlife than 99.9% of you. These Axisworks built .45 Cal MLs shoot like this...

Had enough to cause a 10" puddle on my driveway Wednesday midday.

I thought about a 2-step process with a separate throating reamer if all else fails.
