Turn off the cell phone.

Do you have any pics of the dipped skulls? That sounds interesting.

Now what? Other than the obvious, shell holder, dies, bullets, primers, powder, what else do I need? Is the 5-0-5 scale serviceable?

Are they EVER going to build that range in Flagstaff?

you wacked baby spotted owl...you're in deep poo now. I think game and fish named this one macho C

Wouldn't you know it. THe day after I buy the Rock Chucker, Cabela's has the Lock N Load kit from Hornady on sale for $250

ok, here's the question that turns friends into enemies......full length sizing or neck only?

kit comes with lube pad and lube, chamfer/deburring tool, hand primer and Speer loading manual. Looks like a caliper, the hornady gauges, primer pocket tool and bullet puller for now. For now, I will be loading only for 7mm Rem Mag. After I get that down, I'll start in on the 270WSM. Still trying to decide on a bullet. I have a butt load of Hornady brass that I have been saving. Is it any good or should I buy new? Also will be looking for a decent portable bench. I'll make a bench in the garage for cool weather reloading, but too hot for summer time, which is when I'll have the most time to do it.

I was reading on another forum that the 5-0-5 was cheap and flimsy and should be replaced. That's all. I'm glad to hear that it will work fine.

The first thing a custom maker does is change the trigger. The problem is with the trigger, not the Remington 700 as a whole. The designer of the trigger even admitted that there was a problem but Remmy did not want to spend the money to change the design. Not sure how anyone could deny the fact that there might be a problem with the trigger.

agree. Very hypocritical. Believe me, I am against all drug use, but let's face it booze is a drug we not only allow, but we allow a bombardment of advertising and encouragement of use. Alcohol has ruined millions of lives just in this country alone, yet we celebrate it's use. I also agree 100% with Bowsniper. The feds look the other when these state laws are passed, that fly right in the face of federal law, but want to label everyone racist if they want to stop illegal immigration.

Hey Phil, nice buck. How's that Vortex turret working for you? Is that the one that you got for free?

I sleep with the Mr Buddy on all night all the time. Propane tank is outside with hose running to the heater through the zippered opening in the door. I have peak vents on top of the tent and a couple of smaller vents at the bottom. Leave one of the windows on the opposite side of the tent partially open too.

Sounds like you guys had a "Timothy Treadwell experience".....except the animals didn't kill and eat you.

I'm ready to order one but waiting to order it here. Come one....let's get on with it.

try posting it on longrangehunting.com

Thanks!

Can someone recommend a gunsmith to blueprint and re-barrel a Remington 700? Local preferred but not a necessity. Thanks

Camofire had Kenetreks Hardscrabble Hikers for $199, today only.

So, I could go to Walmart and buy a $50 Tasco and get $500 off the Leica? Do they have target turrets?

Just bought me some Asolo FSN95's too. Best fitting boot I've ever worn. They were a little stiff when I 1st got them and was not sure if I could wear them or not. Wore them to work for a couple of days and they loosened up and now feel great. Sierra Trading Post had a great deal on them. http://hardcoreoutdoor.com/2008/06/16/ariz...n-95-boots.aspx

I just bought some Under Armour boot socks. Never really thought socks could make that much of a difference but I logged some serious miles on my Kaibab hunt last month and never even had the hint of a blister. They are thick on the bottom, but vented on top and they come way over the calf.

I think some people shoot, then chicken out when it comes to actually loading up the animal.

More people out of work means more poaching, IMO.
