Well, at least getting drawn the first time I ever put in for a hunt last year for deer didn't hurt my point standings. I guess I'll have to just wait and see what happens. But I'm still going to be educating myself as much as possible so if the opportunity arises, I'll be ready, just like the Boy Scout Motto.

Supposedly 20% of the draw is points and 80% is random. If that is true, I should have the same chance as any of the other 80% unless they get an additional entry in the random for every point they have. I might not be fortunate and I might be fortunate. Is the early muzzle hunt harder to get drawn in than the early general hunt or archery for elk?What is the order of difficulty in being selected for elk and for which hunts? I'm sure area also comes into play. In fact; Which is the order of difficulty for type of animal to get drawn for? What are the hardest areas to get drawn in for each animal? Does putting multiple people on your tag increase your chances, especially if there is a female or youth? Any of this info I'm sure would be helpful. Thanks.

I'll take them all. Please pm me.

Yes, I know what my gun can do. Todd@ Southern Xpress Custom Rifles built it and he is one of the best rifle builders as many on here can attest to, especially the new muzzle loaders. He shot his Coues Whitetail a couple of years ago with a 375 caliber muzzle loader at roughly 568 yards, if I remember right. His friend videoed the shot and it was super clean. Deer was standing for a moment after, then just rolled down the hill. SunDevil is probably right about how long it may take, but I've been very fortunate so far. I'll just have to plan as though I'm getting drawn and start learning all I can. Last year was my first Deer hunt, and it was muzzle loader. Scored/measured 173 and looks very nice according to everyone who has seen it. Maybe I'll be very fortunate again. If not, still doesn't hurt to learn.

Got my Mule deer at 321 with 15 mph wind gusting to 45mph. Check my Campfire post.

Thanks. I'll check out Steve's.

Correct. 2424 fps near muzzle per Lab Radar. 111 grains of Blackhorn209

PM Stanley or Amanda, or both.

I dreamed, then bought. Gotta have a dream first. I'll keep my ears open for you.

Get ready to give up your first born and your left n...t. High demand and expensive materials. But I do enjoy the ease of dumping! What a time saver. Bought mine new in 2003 for $7,000 plus tags. Dual axels, dual rams, side doors and rear doors. Load pallets from the sides. Very universal. Chinese non-radial bias 10ply tires last the longest for me. Sides extend upward by two 14'X10" boards for brush.high front and rear due to screen mesh extensions. Box is 14'6" long by 8'4" wide. Not for sale, but if you decide to build one you can use mine as a template/guide. No problems so far. Mackey Trailers built it but they no longer exist, I think. But like I said, not for sale. Just FYI.

Now that they've outlawed them for use in hunting, maybe a few of you guys would like to get rid of them. Please PM me with the Manufacturer, Model, and Price sought. Not looking for "current price". They are wanted for a limited project. Thanks

Understandable. Probably easier than taking his own pics. or that is the gun he bought and is now selling.

Bought a CVA Scout in 450 Bushmaster from him.

I've dealt with him. Straight up deal. Great guy.

While he is new he said he's face to face only in his other post. His number is legit and he is responsive. His prices are at the upper end, but so have a few others been. He may just be here for the classifieds, that we'll discover with time. Care should always be exercised with new members, especially those who post first to the Classifieds.

Good guy. Bought a rifle from him.

Very nice !

Problem is how were they stored? 50 BMG' can change burn rates and burn faster if not stored correctly. Faster burn means more pressure, perhaps too much. The Dominican republic sold some that wound up being very bad Jou-Jou. They were yellow tipped API. I've got 17 of those worthless yellow tips. Be very careful. 50's are not to be taken light heartedly. Best wishes.

Price? Location?

Thank you. Great Seller.

Ever been in ANY accident?

Offer sent.

What year was it built? What state did it come from?

What other reloading equipment?
