I look at it this way.... I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't do drugs, I don't have a bunch of babies running around, my truck is paid off, and I don't have a $2000/month rent, so my vice is my rifles and reloading. Money well spent in my opinion. Kind of like a car. A 76 Pinto will get you from A to B. And that is fine for a lot of people. Even though a 13 Mustang GT 500 still gets you to the same place, it is just more fun to drive, with a better ride and with a sense of pride doing what you enjoy. Debt free man!!! Thats the way to go Lance!. Im debt free but the house. It is very nice when you don't worry about other payment. Retirements accounts are being paid, plan vacations are saved, hunting trips are paid in cash. We can save a lot of money in interest once you pay the price and leaves lots of cash on hand to buy nice rifles (toy's) "you can pay now or pay later, but you spend lot more money in the end when you pay for it later"

What do I got to do on your farm to hunt whitetails???

Congrats looks like your down south

Not just the west coast but (almost) all states with large cities vote blue and the rest of the state is Red. Maybe something to do cramming people to close gives them an entitlement issue, welfare issue, crime issues, we go to college for one semester and we have all the answers issue, our celebrity's have all the right answers with political and economical views, animal have more rights then human issues, guns walk around by themselves and shot everyone issues!!!!! Im with you bowhnter! I don't get why big cities breed these type of people

With the buddy heater you didn't have a problem with c02?

Remington 700 heavy barrel, muzzle break, 26" barrel, with bipod and vortex pst scope- 12.5lbs Tikka .270 micmillian stock vortex scope, 22" barrel -7-1/2lbs Weatherby 6.5 creedmoor, 24" barrel light sporter, bell and carlson stock, bipod, with Athlon cronos scope -12.3lbs. (with out the scope it would be 10.3 lbs, these weatherby's are heavey. But im ok with it, Im going to turn it into a nice paper shooting gun)

Wow!!

You will be fine

Unit 10 for late cow elk hunt. Even with running the heater it froze. But then again the highs were only 10 degrees. My thinking was wrap the trailer with a tarp and put those propane heaters underneath. Havent tried it yet

I don't think there is a load yet. Just use the Amax and start on the low end and work your way up

What Trophyhunter said Hard core!! So much from getting from the crowds, sorry bro. Also you didn't bring matches?? I would of had some back straps that night! But i really can't say anything because I wouldn't have gone that far back into country. More man then me! Congrats on your buck

Ha ha ha ha! So is basketball, and football "just math"! But every basketball and football pro will tell you its not the amount of basketball/ football games that make them great, its the everyday fundamental routine practice, practice, practice over and over and of course using math.

Nice job guys

It's Ugsome!!!!

" a great medium range gun, whitetail thumper" for a 300 rum!!! Man wildwoody what do you do for a elk gun?? Is this how you hunt Elk??

Ive been loading for about a year and half now. Im seriously studying up on this stuff all the time and bugging some of the other members via text message for some tips. But last time I posted that I used 210m instead of magums some of the guys on here were saying "don't do that" you need magnum primers. So I took heed to their council and starting shooting magnums. Well same loads that I shot before that were 1-1/4 and 1" groupings open up to 2"----2-1/2" groupings. So I text Lance and he said go back to what you started with. Ok!! Threw the 210M back in there and they tighten back up to 1" groupings. Work with the OAL after that and got it down to 4 shot 1/2" grouping. My guess its just my gun, but its working for me!

The ELDs are still new (again based off the Amax for M's). I don't think I've seen anyone post about their ELDs yet for thier loads besides me. So not a lot of info yet. Also I believe this is the first year people will be hunting with them so Im excited to see what they will do on big game with the Xs and Ms. I went out this morning before the rain hit and was working on a creedmoor load for the ELD-x 143 and 140 HVLD Bergers. Both performed great, and both shot some strange groupings on a few loads. But I got them both down to 1/2 MOA.. So Im excited for you load work up. Have fun keep us posted!

12oz!!!!!!!! If you fart a foot away your gun will go off!

Oh and its shooting right at 3000 fps!!!

If it is 208 gr then it is ELD-M and not the X! The x's are the 200 gr and 212 gr. But don't fear. Hornady has not specifically said the new ELD-m is exactly the Amax but with a new heat shield. I have no reason to believe they changed that bullet except for a new tip. And everybody loves the Amaxs on game. Im shooting the ELD-M 208 on my Remington 300 win mag. 78.7gr H1000 OAL 2.867 Coal to fit for a reaper is 3.611. The gun liked it shorter to 3.601 Fed. 210m primer Hornady Brass (i was going to switch it to Nosler but it was all within 1 grain) 0.54" MOA I would say those ELDs were kind of tough to find a spot, but after quite a bit of shooting I got it.

Im really starting to believe that only 10% of the hunters have common since !! And most of 10 percenters are here on this site. Think about it! You attract who you are, thats why your friends are like you! People who break the rules, who are D Heads while out hunting, and leaving trash at camp sites won't hang out on this website very long. Once they find out what type of ethical hunters most of us are they won't even peep a sound about this because they will get thrashed by us.

Sweet looking buck congrats

Holy Hanah!!!

Are you chasing him this year??

Oh yeah great job
