Lance, congratulations to you and Weston! I loved reading that post. I too am curious about the 230 grain bullet from Mel's 270 WSM... Way to go, Josh

Even though I was a "Cougar" at school, I am glad to see 3 more of those things gone. Way to go!

I have reloaded a little in the past, but used someone elses stuff. I want to get into it but am having trouble deciding whether to get a Lee reloading kit or RCBS. I like the Lee stuff because it is so inexpensive compared to the RCBS stuff. I already have the dies for my 270 WSM in the RCBS (obtained from gentleman I purchased the gun from) but know that they are interchangeable with the Lee presses. I will only be reloading for that gun, maybe a 300 WSM and a 22-250. What are your thoughts/recommendations? Josh

Ok. Now, how about the Partner Press versus the Rock Chucker. Remember, there is about a $130 price difference in the kits. I like the price of the Partner Press, but am not sure about it's strength. It looks kind of flimsy. Any thoughts?

+1 on JeremyB being a good guy... He helped my brother out on a hunt a year ago. Even though he is a LongHorn!

I put the Nikon Buckmaster on my 270 WSM. It is the 4x12 with BDC. I absolutely love the scope. My brother picked up a Leupold from Sportsman's that has the BDC. It was about the same price. Pretty cool scope too. I went with the Nikon becasue I was like you... I wanted a decent semi long distance scope for around $300. So I felt like the added magnification was what I needed along with the BDC and liked the clarity of the Nikon. Josh

Way to go man! What a good buck. Didn't know there were any bucks left in that unit that big... I thought they were all spikes or smaller.

beauty! Well done.

Just got back from Skylar's visitation... It was a wonderful proceeding. A lot of family and friends. Skylar will be missed. Skylar passed away while taking someone on his first hunting trip. Skylar Stock was too good for this old world. God bless him and his family. Everyones prayers were definately felt. Thanks on behalf of his family.

I appreciate that HunterF. I may do that.

Hey all, I have a good friend/boss (could earn me some bonus points!) who just got a left over tag from Game and Fish for Turkey in 13A. I have never hunted up there and neither has he for Turkey. Any ideas on where he should start scouting around and where he should focus his efforts. I hear the Mount Trumbull area is really the only area there are Turkeys in 13A. Thanks!

I believe it is in April/May.

ROFLMAO! Relax dude.............dang..........this is just a forum. From this..........you really have no idea what I'm made of.........particularly my hunting ability. I now have my entertainment for tonite..............and for the next few months.............holy cow......... I wasn't knocking your hunting abilities... just the lack of your integrity. If you write stuff like this about someone who has just died just for your entertainment... well I don't think I need to go on about what kind of person you are. How lonely a life you must have. By the way, I haven't been in junior high for a long time, what does ROFLMAO mean?

Well put Wade! Thanks. Josh

I will go ahead and write this one for every one here, hey muley man, why don't you go back to Wyoming... or did they kick you out too cause your an ignorant jerk? When the good lord wants to call someone home who are you to judge how he does it? I knew Skylar personally, and I guarantee you he had more integrity, smarts, and was more of a man than you could ever dream to be. Amanda, I move that we get rid of this guy from the website. I don't want to be associated with a guy like this. I am quite offended. And I don't get offended easily. This guy is scum and a sorry excuse for a hunter.

I also shoot the 270 wsm in the tikka t3 lite. I shoot the 140 nab out of it as well. I really like how it shoots. I am going to start reloading and am thinking about trying the Barnes tipped triple shock x bullet in the 130 grain. Has anyone tried those out in this caliber? Josh

+1 on Unit 27. I hunted there all my life. I don't hunt there any more because of the wolf issue. One of my last hunting trips up there we were sitting a meadow/water hole a good 4 point had been using... right at dusk a wolf came out into the meadow. I wanted to shoot the stupid thing. Don't worry... I didn't.

Thanks for the info. I think I am leaning towards the Lee. Mainly because of price and to see if I really do want to get into reloading. If I decide I like it, then I can always upgrade.

Jared, Congrats to your dad and brother. My brother just finished his hunt up there as well. He will post that soon with some pics. That is a tough hunt nowadays. Lots of hunters! Josh

Was it a close game at least? Does Blue Ridge finally have a good program again?!! I don't know about the bad blood. The games were always heated for sure, but I can't recall many if any at all that ever got out of control. Congrats to the Jackets. How exciting that must have been for the mountain to have both teams at state! Too cool.

Dude, that is a smoking deal!!! I will call a buddy that I know of that is looking for a good rod. I will get back with you.

Amanda, sounds like an awesome hunt! Congratulations on the longer shot. I enjoyed the story. Thanks.

I didn't know where else to post this topic... My son is 5 years old right now and I am dying to get him in the field. He has an amazing love of hunting already, he prefers the hunting channel over cartoons. He also has an incredible ability to focus on one thing for an extended period of time, for example, 18 holes of golf is not enough for him. How early (age wise) has anyone else taken their children along on a hunting trip, even if it is just a javelina or turkey hunt?

How do you do it all brotha?! Love the stories and pics. We need to hook up some time. Thanks my friend. Josh

I have access to a whole lot of Pecan wood if you're interested. Let me know.
