Goes to show you it is all luck of the draw. I had 25 BPs and didn't draw a 10 tag as my 1st choice. Congrats, hope you slay a toad.

FPS differences would be nothing that .1gr+/- of powder can't make up for. Same for ES/SD. Burn rate is determined more by the powder choice than a difference in LRP vs. SRP. But different primers vary in flame. Accuracy totally depends on your rifle's preference. There have been claims both ways on which is more accurate. I think it boils down to just the final load. The main benefit to SRP vs. LRP are there: brass choices, and longevity. If you are running at or near max loads, SRP brass should give you a few more firings because primer pockets will not stretch as much due to more brass around the pocket. Also, some of the best brass only comes in SRP. Lapua is SRP only. Alpha and Petersons make both SRP & LRP. But then ADG only males LRP. Starline makes both. Rem, Win, Hornady are LRP only. To me, if you are hand loading and competent at it, starting with the best components available can help to improve accuracy right off the bat. Spending a bit extra up front to get high quality components can show up and get you that extra bit of consistency, which helps accuracy.

How many BPs?

Both the Fed GM210M or CCI BR-2 are LRP. Both fantastic choices. If you go with a SRP case, Fed GM205M or CCI BR-4. Either works just as well as the others. I use Fed GM205M in my 6CM. I use Fed GM210M in my 6.5SLR. But use CCI BR-2 & BR-4 in numerous others.

Fed GM210M or CCI BR-2 LRP.

Bruno's has H4350 in stock. https://www.brunoshooters.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=43501

Good to hear, honestly, if the dad was involved. Thanks for the info.

I believe so. But, even in terrible 2017, I kept my tag and made the best out of it. No way was I turning in my tag I had waited 18 years for.

I use H4350 in a lot of 6.5CMs, and in my 6CM too. But, in short barreled ones, I have used Superformance. Better speeds than H4350, but not quite as temp stable. Not terrible like some RL powders though. Hornady brass is LRP. And would honestly be one of my last choices for brass, unless you already have a couple hundred. Weight sort them and cull anything outside of a 2 grain (+/- 1) from your median weight. Then check neck thickness. If you don't have a few hundred, bite the bullet (so to speak) and buy Lapua SRP, Alpha SRP, or ADG. I think Peterson might even be making some.

No bison tag for me yet.

See you there!

My son-in-law has the same tag. I will be up there trying to help him fill it. Keep an eye out for me in the 4Runner.

Sorry to hear that Kenny.

Man, that is one of the saddest posts I have seen in a while. My dogs are family. I am sorry you never had that bond with a good dog.

That sucks buddy. I have an old man, Winchester, that is 16. I dread the morning I wake up....and he doesn't.

Never a "Bad time" to take the kids to a high country lake.

I am glad to hear that just because he "self-reported" his crimes (not an honest mistake), he did not get off with no punishment. But, if his father was part of the crime, I believe he should get his slice of the punishment pie as well. Thanks for the information.

Great looking lab.

Momma looks tired.

Tried seating a bullet in an FL die with decapping pin still in it?

EVERY North American big game? I would do something like a .338 Edge. .300WM/.300RUM/.300NM(I) at a minimum. Fast twist to push the 230-245. Brown bear, grizzly, musk ox, bison, Polar bear...those are BIG animals.

Not mine. Saw it on Monster Muleys. https://www.monstermuleys.info/xf/threads/lost-pistol-in-north-rim-turkey-scouting.182096/ I lost my Beretta 92 pistol in a green shoulder holster with 2 extra mags in North Rim Grand Canyon while turkey scouting April 10th weekend. I was driving on roads 425,22,228 an 416 area. If anyone found, please let me know. Thanks for all your help. Rich 702-575-9758
