Should be a good time .its the drive that might suck ..truck trailer wife kid dog and cats all in one truck for that long

Tell you what ill put up another 50 rounds to the next kid in need.same rules apply.

Looks like I've got a taker Dano562 there hers.

Yep not 18 yet so it counts

Mine will shoot but thinks deer and elk are pretty.I replied yep pretty tasty!!!

Man if that isn't the coolest thing .that buck is a stud!!!!

If it gets them out and hunting its worth it.my daughter is 19 and won't hunt heck I've got a ar15 in the safe waiting for her to figure out cerakote its been there for 2 years waiting Damm tic tok and what the other one I forget .youtube I think

Damm auto correct mspar

Looks like I've got them sold.if the deal falls thru mopar I will pm you thanks

Well not going up to hunt but going with the family over labor day weekend .will be leaving way before the sun comes up and take the extra day on the other end to hopefully miss some traffic.my buddy's are up on the deer hunt and say that the deer have there arrow radar on as all three have had at least 1 or 2 misses so looks like they will need new hats when they get back because everyone in camp gets a shot at your hat if you miss at the yardage you missed its all for fun but teaches shot placement and focus

I've got a lead on lapua brass so hopefully it comes thru and I get 200 rds to get started so it will be at least a week or two .ive got some store bought ammo and I'm debating running it thru to start barrel break in and set scope close .also I'm really itching to just shoot it .its been in the safe for 2 months waiting on me.

Yes its time consuming but cost effective.I load for several different calibers from handgun to rifle and a wildcat that is super labor intensive but that's half the fun .it also gives me some quiet time just to myself .I still can't talk the wife into loading her own ammo or cleaning her own guns she says that's what I'm for😁

Me being the sole bread winner .I would have a hard time with the cost .nosler brass at 75.99 for 50 would get real expensive to only load once.it would be easier to explain to the wife I've gotta get lapua brass at around 115 for a hundred and can reload them a few times if not pushed hard .family and bills come first .but I can see the need for the quality I'm sure you could post your once fired nosler brass and have it scooped up quickly

There is usually listings on Craigslist for labs also

There were two # listed one is a member at 928 6510588 and the other 9289611441 pups ready to go Friday on the post good luck

Check the classified section Dkart4 had a litter posted back on August 4 or so .I felt the same way when we had to put our 13yr old lab Odie down .labs are crazy puppies for the first year but great dogs .our new dog moose is 2 and still a big goofy puppy

I'm sure if there are deer or elk in the Legos build we could start a go fund me to get him his toy .dinosaurs count to !! Pm me and ill put up $20 bucks

Tho I'm just trying to get into the long range game I have reloaded I do see the need for good components after my run with hornady brass .I would have to believe if brass is of any quality at all you could aneil the necks and just neck size if all the case lengths are the same .I've seen the phrase waterline used here but I'm not sure to what it means is it just a linear line reference?

Wow That's quite a bit when you said 2 to 3 gr. On brass and I was bummed to see that big of a spread in my lot.going to go nosler and maybe just use the hornady for barrel break in still haven't shot 1 round outa the gun and it's killing me

Yep it sucks to pay as much as stuff is now .but I've got till November to get it figured out Ca pig hunt with dad I won't be ready for you guys kinda long shot but for me a 200 to 300 yd goal seems doable if time and skill allow won't make shots I'm not comfortable with so limits on distance will be set before hunting

Boy that says a lot about using good components and it shows in the results.I just hope the nosler is better lapua is outa stock everywhere I've looked if anyone has a source that has some in stock I'd appreciate the info

All cases are trimmed to spec and were checked for consistency when trimming the only thing I haven't done is the deburr on the flash holes as the tool is on order. Looks like midway has nosler brass and might get me closer none was in stock from the top two when I was looking before ill just tell the wife ill use it in the other 7-08 and order some more lapua showed no stock so nosler should be a better start for me

Yep its a very costly adventure by comparison I've hunted with my ruger m77 300 win its a great gun its got a break some trigger work and what I thought was good glass a vx3 4.5x14 .used it for elk and javalina once .way way to much for pigs at 10 feet but it was a learned lesson .you look at the cost to shoot long-range custom gun around 3500 bucks remember it's a rebuild then you add a bipod that's 400 bucks atlas then a scope that is capable and you can spend thousands mine was 2400 used rings are expensive to good glass needs good rings.then there is ammo the cost to reload not to mention the time to sort and weigh everything it's labor intensive.but after looking at the big swings in weight from components I won't shoot store bought ammo for hunts again as you can see how this would change your standard deviation and poi .it takes a lot of time money and practice to have those skills for sure much respect to those who take the time do get it right and make those 1 shot hits at long range I to soon hope to learn enough to do so but will stay in my range of comfort on hunts and practice to grow that range

I guess that could be the point he's trying to make .I've only shot animals at 100 or less and worked hard to learn the skills needed to get close .so your mid range 400 to 800 would be a long shot for me but it's all just a matter of perspective you only see the guys shoot longrange and dial in scopes on the hunting shows makes it look easy then with some research you see how hard and time and labor intensive it really is so many variables into shooting that far and so many things to learn and I'm just getting started

Ok so here we go weighing brass its hornady virgin .100 cases netted 90 to start with on visable dents or defects then weighing told a different story from 148.6 to158.6 with two distinct batches from 154.to 156 .4 and 158.2 to159.6 bullets are barns tsx and went from 139.4 to140.5 now I see how important it is to weigh and sort for the most consistent loads
