For now moving to I17 and the 101 until I can figure out the path of least resistance to N. Scottsdale hahahah thats a good one from i17 to 101, pretty much taking the 101 to scottsdale there are peak hours where its pretty jammed. otherwise take local streets like bell road/frank lloyd right. if you are going to be out that way might as well hit Tonto and go to barlett/horseshoe/verde river. from i17/101 precott national forest in 20a and stoneman lake in 6a isn't that far. nice time of the year to go hear some bugles!

heard a lot of good things about sightron. was watching someone dial in a shot with mrads and dang it was quite impressive how it held zero and the clarity

how far north. there's always the lakes or hit the rim or some other areas.

anyone here win?

The beauty of the 300wm is the versatile and bullet selection. The flat trajectory like a 7mm rem mag is a plus too :-) I don't know if this is one of those calibers where factory ammo is severely underpowered but if it is find a buddy to hand load

nice! great way to raise funds. wish i could take time off for dove to be there everyday :-D

i passed up a vx2 in silver for 169 the other day at sportsman. so pissed at myself.... i didn't need it but I'm sure I could of held onto it for some other project. things like optics that prices can fluctuate so much and closeouts, clearance etc. I wouldn't limit myself to being hard set on one specific model, but open it up to a few and snatch up the best deal :-) You can seriously save over 50% sometimes

I must of missed it that you had a cva optima. They make a breech plug designed for bh209 to help ensure burn. 30 bucks. You can try with the plug you have now and see if the results warrant spending money you might not need. On a side note. I've heard cci primers don't foul as bad as winchester and federal? Any truth to that

Binos winner announced.

BH209 is definitely the wonder powder. It is a bit different just like T7 is. The volumetric and weight charges don't all line up, so be sure to double check if its hotter than what you normally shoot. There are some breech plugs specially designed for BH209 as well. Bullets seem like a lot of them are all rebranded one way or another.

usually pretty quickly after the tickets are all sold. within a day or two

lol its possible. you see someone won two coolers in the last raffle?

oh yeah! new set of raffles going on!

Do you still have the 7 Rem mag? That's a great all around caliber and pretty dang flat with lots of energy farther than you'd shoot on game. Sighted at 200 with a good 160ish bullet you have a great gun without too much guesswork in drop and moa

With the crap "high roller" hunters have been getting I wouldn't want anyone to know either not affiliate me to my place of work. Yeah it's kind of spineless? But at the same time I'm not going to lose my livlihood and paycheck over stupid public opinion over something legal and ethical

Sportsman will has triple 7. Never seen 45gr pellets tho. Bullets look online at cabelas, midway a few other places I'm forgetting. Mmp sabots are good too, load up 45cal 255gr lead slugs over 100gr pellets has been real accurate for me. Are you shooting sabots or powerbelts or straight lead

Man you are some lucky guy. How many tickets did you buy for that beautiful rifle. I don't know of anyone locally but in other parts of the country custom builders will work up loads for the specific rifle and even give you all the drops and ballistics chart. There's gotta be someone out there

I would say sportsman warehouse but they just lost me forever over screwing me over on a box of bullets. 30 bucks over a residual revenue morons. What are you looking for. Cabelas has clearance lots of muzzy stuff all the time. Scored lots of stuff from online cave for upwards 75% off

I think Sierra stopped at their max cuz the load was being compressed? Its right abound 100% case load. Another thing to consider is case head stamps. Soooooo many 308/7.62x51 case manufacturers. Some might be more roomy than others. I usually find book max loads are entirely different from me. Some are lower, others I can push higher just like lancet said. Work up your loads slow and take note of case head stamps, oal and all the little variance once you are getting to the very top. Primer can also make a difference. For me I like magnum primers usually, make sure all that powder burns :-p

i still can't find what the price of admission is? only see 50% off tickets but how is the parking or admission?

to each of its own. There are plenty of calibers and cartridges suited for long range coues deer. But then again, define long range? 300 yards? 700 yard? Ethical shots are based on your own beliefs, practice, ability, and environment. There's no "too big" of a gun unless we are talking like 50BMG or 20mm rounds..... would a 500NE be too much gun for a coues?

I think its a mix. There's a rifle area and then there's an archery only area. Have to double check AZGFD cuz it can change as our season changes :-D It's always fun to look at the OTC elk hit the ground and the landscape they are in heh

running Hodgdon max load thru quickload it shows 64,141 PSI. thats about 4k over max for the cartridge. I would start with sierra's data with 1gr increment ladders. get to max and do .3 or .5 ladder until you need to back off. Of course depending on how many bullets and time you got always fine tune!

TLO

thats a jackalope.....
