Dear, Elk, or Deer...? I think one would need a special power line permit also.

Since it will do 40 in reverse you have priced it way too low.... When pole barn was mentioned, unfortunately I thought of something else that already has way too many nicknames.

A 360 bull would only be in one awards book for the 3-year period that it was entered. If you got a 375 bull it would be in the awards book also, but then it would be automatically entered in to the next all-time book which is a different book although both are published by Boone and crockett. The all-time book has trophies going all the way back to the 1930s. The all-time book gets bigger every time it's published.

375 is the minimum for the all-time book which I believe is published every 6 years. 360 is the minimum for the awards book which I believe is published every 3 years. If it doesn't make 375 it will never be in the all-time book. Animals in the all-time book will be there forever. The awards book animals will only be in the book for the 3-year period respectfully.

Looks nice, is the barrel threaded?

Thanks silver bullet. 👍

Lots of rain so far and hopefully more coming.

Hey silver bullet, which of those three vehicles rode the best off-road under "normal" off-road driving for hunting? Rocks, washboard, dips, etc. Aren't those raptors a few inches wider in wheel and body stance than the regular trucks for better stability? How much wider and how much towing capacity? Thanks

Try seating the bullet to the length listed in the loading book, then see if it will chamber. If it does, I would pull at least three of them and check for powder charge weight and consistency. If that all checks out then start at the lowest charge listed in the book with the powder and work from there.

That should work. I think most guys try for two three or possibly four on a hunting rifle. It's never a bad idea to make sure all of your reloads chamber before you go on a hunt.

Overlooked your post, glad you got it figured out. Those cases should be fine to fire, but as always, look for pressure signs. Lots of knowledgeable reloaders on this site. With a hard bolt close, possibly a problem with galling? Make sure there's a small dab of Grease on the lugs where they lock everything tight

Lots of good suggestions. Try them one at a time. Also try trimming a case back about .010 at a time and chamber a resized case without seating a bullet. Possibly a carbon ring?

That length should be good according to the books. It doesn't sound like your bullet is touching the lands. You could smoke a case or color it with a sharpie before you put powder in it and see if it is contacting anywhere. If you don't have a headspace gauge, they are great to give you a minimal shoulder bump. Usually it will increase accuracy and definitely will make your brass last longer. Check everything you can and also make sure your chamber is clean

I have an RCBS 3 die set for $45. Also have brass & bullets. West Valley.

I've been happy with my Hornady Auto charge. It will sometimes overcharge, but it notifies you with a beep and a light and usually if I slow the speed down that helps a bunch. I believe with any of them if they act funny, make sure they are plugged in to a separate circuit if possible and don't use a power strip either.

I just got a notification that they have popular ammo calibers in stock.

More match cases and Forster neck reamer added. Willing to separate. Dies $40. All bullets $70. Neck reamer and 275 pieces of brass $50. LC 65 match cases were .308 and all 145 have been necked down to .243. They are once reloaded and twice fired. Additional 40 cases are factory mixed head stamps and once fired. Meet at Cabela's.

Full length, seating, and neck die. Three loaded rounds are various factory for standards. 30 once fired rounds are sized, trimmed, primed, deburred, and chamfered. Three boxes of bullets in Middle are full, all others are labeled for quantity. Six ammo boxes are empty brass of various firings. 175.00

I don't think it will ever happen, but if they had some type of a scale based on age first and then amount of points they could have a complicated and possibly sliding scale that could help older applicants. They could also set aside some premium tags for applicants over a certain age and in my opinion also with at least 10 bonus points. Obviously, no putting somebody else on the application without the same qualifications. That would definitely help the aging hunters that have waited and built bonus points. I do think the 3-year waiting period could also help just a little bit, and we all know every little bit helps.

In glendale, meet at Cabela's.

I certainly hope this doesn't happen to anybody... But, if you get scoped during the test do they send you home? I guess they wouldn't want any of that blood on the meat. jk

I wonder if they will allow bipods or shooting sticks or anything else for the shooting test.

According to the news, more than 45,000 people from all over the US applied. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
