6.5 creedmoor starting point
Big Tub replied to ctafoya's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
Sportsman's was out of all factory loads for 6.5 Creedmoor except for the new Remington which have soft points -- I suspect you lose the balistic coefficient with it. -
My son got drawn for antelope. He ended up hiring a guide up by Prescott realizing that this may only happen once in a lifetime (dual income - no kids doesn't hurt either). Great hunt, albeit short, FORTUNATELY. We were in a basin with one road in and same way out. We bedded a huge herd of antelope with at least 5 bucks in there, two pretty decent. We were there at dawn and making a move on them. After 4 or 5 stalking attempts without blowing the herd out, he was able to down the one he wanted about 9am. Shortly afterward, this white Ram truck drives in past our truck and goes all the way to the bottom. This is a small area. Walking back to our truck to move it closer to pick up the antelope, I run into another group of guys, this time on a Ranger. I mention I thought it was pretty tacky for the first guys to drive into a small area we were hunting. What do they do? Drive in also! If either one of these groups had come in 15 minutes earlier, we would have been hosed. Neither group actually saw the huge herd we just chased over above them at the top of the basin. While walking into the kill site, I have the herd run above me about 200 yards as the first group apparently boogered them back my way, running right by the tree where I had originally been watching the hunt unfold at the top of the basin. And then coming out with the quartered animal, one of the White Ram guys is sitting underneath the only tree in the neighborhood about 100 yrds from us. He looked pretty silly, as I imagined him saying "where did those guys come from?". And then driving out, the guys in the Ranger are now up there trying to decoy the herd with a Montana decoy. Probably not really effective with a herd with 5 bucks. Stupidity aside as it is hard to become proficient only drawing one or two tags a lifetime, their brash disregard for hunting etiquette and not turning around at our truck is the part I am having trouble with. Comments?

I end up with whatever costco is carrying.

You do have to admit their infomercial programs are impressive.

What part of Tucson?

I love my Hondas but If I were to start over, I would definitely go with LP Gas powered.

Someday. He also has a pickup point in Chino.

My son got drawn for this also. Now that he is a working man up in Prescott Valley, he likes to watch all the antelope up there. The land issues and limited area does seem a little intimidating. Anybody have guide recommendations?

Rorro won and Loaded Dawg #3. Both are very close to our house and great. However, El Nene is my pick for best.

I sent him an IM but not sure how often he gets on.
