I'll probably never get rid of mine even though I haven't reloaded in over a decade. When did they start using plastic? For competition and most hunting loads I always used a trickler to get an exact amount of powder.

I don't see why not. They can always run the number and verify it and the other information. I have not seen anything that would say it isn't ok.

Awesome, that smile says it all.

Yes it is, and that is a dandy Antelope.

Take picture and keep it on your phone.

So nice and green up there.

I bet Miss Kay would like the brains.

If you don't you may end up with a felony littering fine.

We managed a few Whitewings and Mourning Doves and shot for just over an hour since I needed to be at work. Quite a few Collards and we didn't quite limit out.

Don't over sleep.

We called them Shield Bugs.

Go to gunbroker.com and put in your zip code to get a list of FFL's and what they charge. You can ship UPS but you nee to provide a signed copy of the FFL who will receive it.

Looks like you were close to the peak, pretty thick in there.

New store? Cool. Congrats to the winner.

Guess I'll just keep loading my Sierra's.

If you are planning on having kids do your research on schools.

Rio Verde?

One of my buddies does that...lol Or just put a sign.

Well Tony I can say that I get up each morning and think about the great times I had in the past and look forward to what the day will bring. Work keeps me busy and doesn't give me much time to dwell on reality. I have always been the provider and darn near the head of the household for my four brothers and sisters by the time I graduated HS. Daughter passed at 18 from a heart condition nine years go just after the wife asked me to leave so she could find herself after 21 years. Feels strange not having people depend on you, kinda takes the whole purpose of life away from you. Guess I know what John the Baptist felt like wandering the desert. LOL

When you bump the shoulder back, start long, and turn the die down ever so slightly, rerun it, and measure the shoulder datum. You want between .001-.003" of shoulder bump back. No more. .001" is a tiny amount to turn the die down, so measure carefully. Even locking the die down tighter or looser in the press can make a .001" difference. I have a mark on my press, and when I get my die set and the lock ring tightened down, I Mark the lock ring to match the mark on the die. Makes it easy next time you spin in the die to make sure you are in the same depth every time. Lance, how do you measure that and what do you use?

Great memories, congrats all around.

Coach I think it's called soul searching and although I have almost 20 years on you I know what you mean. I've been blessed with great health which I give credit to my mothers side of the family. Dad passed at 61 from a stroke and at 87 we lost Mom in January followed by my brothers wife a couple of weeks later, then two months later Moms fiance and then next day my only son. But thanks to some well train staff and Mesa FD they brought him back only to loose him four more times over the next couple of weeks with me by his side three of those times. He is out of the hospital now after being in there for a month and has a permanent defribrilator. He is lucky but his heart is only at 30% and I have to be honest I freak out a little everytime my phone rings, nothing like constantly being on edge. I'm not sure what the future brings and I really try hard to be that person my family and friends can be proud of and look up to but I definitely fall off the good guy wagon once in a while. I think I just get too passionate about things sometimes. One thing I have witnessed is that god is where you find him and sometimes our bodies throw us for a struggle.

Take both and use the 45-70. How far do the feel comfortable shooting it? I have a WT tag in there but have never been there so I can't comment on the terrain but it is probably similar to 36B and I have been there. I think Mulies are easier to get closer to. Plenty of successful archery hunters down there.

I shipped a rifle to a friend in another state and had it all boxed up nice and pretty when I got to UPS. It was then that they told me about the FFL requirement so I went online and found a shop in his city and called them. They sent a copy of their FFL and I took it back to UPS. I may have had to put an AZDL in too but it was a year ago and don't remember. Once they received it he went over and did the transfer and paid whatever the fee was. He had sold it to me 25 years ago and regretted it ever since as it was the first gun he bought when he was in the Navy. He had been hinting around about it so it seemed like the right thing to do since I had a few others. I had my fun letting him squirm for a bit since he couldn't remember how much he sold it to me for which was $100 for an old pristine Model 94. Hopefully one day he will pass it on to his son, lord knows I had a lot of fun with it especially watching my friends father spend a few afternoons shooting it at the range remembering one he had in his youth before the govt in his country all but eliminated gun ownership.
