Are you full length sizing or just neck sizing? Were these cases fired in your gun once already?

I bought a set a few months ago and they seem to be great. I haven't taken mine in the field yet but I think they will be awesome. I don't know how but the glass is clearer than the EL's.

I will take it. PM sent

This is caused more by age than guns.......just saying.

Put my tikka action in the new stock and it looks and feels great. Buy these before they are gone. Great deal guys.

Does this model of the big Anges have the place where you can insert your sleeping pad so it is attached to your bag? I have a different model Big Agnes and love the bag.

Not sure for most guys. I have an 11# 338 lapua w/o a brake. It's a weatherby Mark IV 300 weatherby converted to a 338 lapua. To say that this cartridge is a different beast is an understatement. It takes a bit to get used to the new level of noise and the recoil is in a different league even on a lead sled. I think the biggest reason this cartridge didn't blossom is due to the fact that there is little practical use for this round in most hunting applications. Basically big bear and Africa would be the only use for this round. It is overkill for elk/moose. So, I don't shoot mine much because of the limited use. Maybe I'm just a sissy too. Could be either or both.

I have the same bed extender and love it. Gives me a ton of space for gear.

I love my pioneer. They all come with pluses and minuses. For hunting it is really hard to beat the pioneer. Typically when I'm hunting it is 2 people in the buggy so be back seat isn't an issue. My kids have mentioned that the back gets a bit warm. Some heat shield cures that. The dust is an issue with all of them if you have a windshield. All in all I don't think you can beat the Pioneer for hunting. The general is nice if you want to just go riding but the lack of a bed isn't a trade off that I am willing to deal with. Plus, the general is loud. Though the seats are super comfy.

It says you can't get messages. Will you take $350 for the tikka stock?

How much does the tikka stock weigh? Does it fit the tikka T3X?

You can buy as many tickets from me as you want. Sorry you didn't win. Thanks for supporting a good cause!!!!!!!

Basically new Kolpin gun rack. Didn't work in my Pioneer 1000 so I had to go a different direction. Asking $75. Chad 480-510-4384

Just to be the odd guy out. I'm not buying right now to see if this insane demand can relax a little bit. Once it is done then I'll be a buyer. Though I think it is great that you are offering this to CWT guys.

I have shot the 6.5 140 ELD-M bullets into a few CWT deer. The results were not in the same level as the ELD-X's in my experience.

I'm posting this for one of my buddies. He is a great guy. He has a pair of Vortex 15X56 Kiababs for sale. Just looked through them and they look great. Jim is asking $850.00 480-695-5901

I've got 2900 Winchester large pistol primers to trade for CCI BR2 primers. Only interested in trades. Chad 480-510-4384

I've also noticed velocity will have a dramatic effect on expansion and terminal performance. I've shot the 90 nosler BT up to 3300 fps at 100 yards into critters and the bullet will explode into pieces. Then at 3100 fps the bullet will still be intact with about 50% retention. So bullets will perform differently depending on velocity.

I've now shot more than a few critters with the ELDX bullets and they perform great. The expand quickly and are very explosive. I think they perform very close to the nosler BT bullets. I haven't recovered one yet but they leave devastate game.

Honestly I think the bullet is designed to go through the air with very little drag (which is a good thing). The issue is the bullet will also go through critters with the same concept. I think the thicker and more dense critters will probably do fine with the Bergers because the bullet will have time to expand. The normal hunting bullet seems to expand quicker than the Bergers but they don't slip through the air like Berger bullets do. I think the ELDX bullets are about the best compromise in a good BC and terminal performance.
