i got a few sleeping bags from my buddy last year, they are arm issue mummy bags and they are as warm as i want to be! they are awesome! i hear ya about better be shooint the biggest buck on the mtn with all the cash dropped, i am in the same boat, but i did get a steal on my rifle, scope, and binos! -
have seen a lot of animlas of both types in 36b. got dad on a NICE 3x3 that he should have shot but he didnt know where it was when the dang thing was about 25 yards away! dang, that makes me sour he was a nice buck!

lark loaded some of those interbonds for my rifle, got some ok groups, and one really really good group out of the 270 wsm

i agree with kgaines word for word. you are the kindest guy here and i appericiate everything that you say! GOD BLESS YOU!!!! (thats the only time you will hear or read me say that)

try the accubond allen, i get GREAT accuracy from them out of my 270 wsm (tightest group is .336) they are a great bullet!
-
i do not have a 300wsm, but rather a 270 wsm and have gotten gret accuracy with accubonds with h4831. also loaded up some sst's with some 4350 and that produced the best group my rifle has shot yet, three shots at .664

never said i was a cock locked bad butt, said my pistol was incase it needed to be used!

i have hunted in 36b for about 8 years. only 2 or 3 times have i seen people(tonks) in the area that i hunt but the trash and garbage is EVERYWHERE!!!! some of the places that we are in do not show signs of activity IE trash, no alien sightings etc. i used to never carry anything but my rifle. but the past few years, i have been carrying my xd-40 on my hip, cocked, locked and ready to rock! i have never had a problem with them knock on wood, but if i do, my dad and i are big enough, and usually cary enough fire power with us and speak enough spanish to keep them away from messing with us, or atleast we hope so!

scot, this wouldnt be the group you wanted me to come shoot the two big boys from is it?

good call bret! -
the day pack really did seem like cheatin, those sticks were like you said Doug "last resort" nex time, i will bring the harris bipod then we will be really cheating! dont forget the cross wind there was! i was shooting my 270 wsm with the varmint reticle and the 300 yard cross hair was VERY close to dead on. the scope says to sight in dead on at 200, and we think the load i was shooting was 1 inch low at 100 last time we shot it so with a a estimate or 2.5 inches higher than that we turend it up and the 300 yard marker was about 3 inches low. it was a fun time and we will have to go do that some more!

dad got the december tag few years back, man he messed up bad a few times! got him within 150 of a i swear 90" FORK the thing was huge! guys we were hunting with glassed up 3 110+ together and dad wouldnt go with them cause "they werent our deer" but there were 3 bucks and only 2 tags. then he takes off with them, leaves me watching a 70-80" 3x3, turns around to come get me and right when he says lets go BOOM, BOOM 111 down! and that wasnt even the biggest!!! man that made me mad!
-

k so my questions are: when i sight my rifle in, i usually shoot in flagstaff arizona,(about 7,000 elevation) and hunt south of tucson arizona( approx. 4,000 maybe) my questions are will my rifle shoot the same zero in tucson that it will in flagstaff? will the velocity be close enough to the same so that it doesnt effect my varmint reticle scope? i usually shoot one or two shots from my rifles at say a little rock around 100 yards when i get to the hunting area. is there a problem with sighting in this high and then hunting down that low?? will my loads work the same way? thanks.
