    Hornady ELD-X on game?

    Wow! Tell us you COAL and specs with your 300wsm??? Most people cant get the wsm shooting good with the larger bullet. It kicks butt with the 160s-180s from what I've heard. I could be wrong I'm new to reloading and I don't have a caliper so I can't give the coal. I should have one soon tho. The load Im used was Winchester nickel brass, Winchester large rifle magnum primers, 60.5 of RL-19 topped with the eld-x 212gr. I have no idea of the speed but but I'm getting 2 inch groups at 300. The rifle is a Winchester 70 1-10 twist. I love reloading! Before I put a new stock and trigger on my gun I was shooting 3 inch groups at 100 with factory ammo.

    Hornady ELD-X on game?

    I'll be using them on my bull hunt in December! Just loaded up some 212 for my 300wsm. I have them shooting well but haven't killed anything yet.

    Basket dead head

    Found this cool basket dead head while working today! I was looking for footprints when I saw a spine and thought wonder where the head was sure enough 20 feet away I found it!
  5. I have never spent time in 27 and have recently been going over maps for a buddies cow tag. Came across the primitive area where we are planning to hunt. So what's the difference or is there any??

    Lion hunters in 36b and drug mules.

    I was wondering if anyone had a run in with drug mules on the east side of 36b near Rio Rico? It would have happened today 9/16/16.

    Using a bow during the general season

    I think my next rifle tag I'll be using an iron sight 30-30! Not as easy as a rifle with a scope but not as hard as archery.

    Unit 1 Thefts

    This is why I hunt down south!! Illegals only want food and water. I would rather lose some water than my whole camp lol
  12. First off I'm new to reloading and Im loving it!! Right now I'm using RL-19 in my 300wsm and I'm shooting .5 moa in 100°. I'm looking for one powder that I can run on eirly desert hunts and late bull hunts. From what I have read I don't think I can count on RL-19 doing that for me. Would I be better off switching to an extreme powder like H4350?

    Powder choices for variety of weather

    I would like to try H4831SC so I could load my 270 with the same power or even H1000. But both of those powder aren't in the horady book for the 212gr bullet.. being new to reloading I don't know where to start or even if it's safe to shoot if it's not in the book. Any help with where to start would be fantastic!

    Advice on 36A terrain and rifle.

    You could hunt the flats with the 45-70.

    Canvas wall tent with frame and stove

    I paid 1700 for my 14x16 with no stove. Depending on the condition this is a great deal.

    Unit 22 - need help!

    ^^^ very true about packing out! I'm a young guy in great shape and I started working out 2 months ago. I have the December rifle hunt. We have 3 tags to fill if we all tag out I'm looking at 9-18 miles of packing out heavy not counting hunting and going in light for recovery.

    Unit 22 - need help!

    Save a bull for me! I have the 2nd late hunt. On the jr. Hunt last year the bulls were still talking which made it somewhat easy to fund them and their cows. It will also give you a good idea where to find the bulls in Nov. This pic was taken 2 weeks ago in 22!!

    Which brass?

    If you aren't heading to the range I would rethink that. Fire restrictions are for all target shooting also. I would hate for you have to go see a judge for breaking the restrictions! Stay safe and shoot straight.
