Keep calm and always remember, aim small miss small.

I had this issue with my 257 weatherby. I was loading 7mm mag brass so there is no way the case is to long. The bullet was seated to far out and jammed the lands. I have also had this problem with 3006 and that was from the cases being to long. Harley

This one wouldnt be for rain. It will be made of a loose woven camo burlap and used while sitting to brake up my outline. I keep an emergency poncho in the day pack as well.

There are good bulls in there. We had a cow hunt in there about 15 years ago and ran across a BIG 4x4 bull in there.

Whatever you do don't use Naumann Hobbs. If jason I recommended before will do it use him. He is a great guy.

Call this guy. He does all kinds of mechanic work. Jason Spiess 602-284-0471 Tell him Harley sent you.

I called G&F this morning and reported it. The dispatcher said they would give the info to the field guys. I will probably check the same tank in a couple weeks when I go scout again and will see if they actually did anything. I would have tried to get it myself if it was closer to shore, but I only had a 30' tow strap with me which would have put my truck pretty close to the water to try and get it up and out without burying it in the soft stuff near the bank. It would have been a cold dip in the pond to get it out too. Only 1 antler was visible and it would have been tough roping it with my tow strap. Harley

Today in 7e my buddy and I found a dead bull elk in the middle of a cattle tank. He appears to have an exit wouND on the side you can see. Who should I contact about this or will any .gov or someone do anything about it other then continue to let it rot and pollute the tank? PS if you lost a nice 4x4 or so bull in 7e I may have found him. Harley

My hunting buddy might want this.

If I had hip waders and a winch I would have done it myself, but I wasn't going waist deep in 33* water since I don't have any waders.

115gr Berger hunting VLDs over 67.0gr h1000. For me it is a proven sub MOA load in my vanguard. I use fire formed 7mm Rem mag brass in my rifle so my case capacity is slightly less then factory 257 brass. The next best load is 117gr hornady btsp bullets over imr 4831. I would have to go look at the powder gr on that one though. It is probably about an MOA or slightly less than MOA load in my rifle. I have a series 1 vanguard and I didn't like the trigger creep even after adjustment so I out in a timney and it is alot nicer.

Nice package. heck of a deal for a rifle that will shoot like that.great caliber too.

I have both 300's in Peoria if you need a caseing for each. Slug the chamber would be the best bet.

Let us know what the 1 pounders are. I doubt you will have much trouble selling those items on here. Compare pricing to get a fair market price with powdervalley and other internet sites.

Sportsman's Warehouse over both of them. Sucks though because Bass Pro is worse then cabelas. Worse pricing worse products. Scheils or whatever up north is better then both of them for sure. The had 1 in ND when I spent some time up there.

When I was a younger, probably about 8, my dad's group bagged a mule deer in 20a. When they spotted him he was at the top of a big hill and when they shot he ran off, then came back around, and around, and around until someone finally put him down. He had a very large wart over 1 eye that basically blinded him in that direction and when he ran while spooked he kept running in circles. Probably not the case here but still something that I found interesting and have seen with my own eyes.

Get away from the main areas and get away from roads. 15 years ago was the last time I hunted that area before side x sides became popular and the roads were still covered with road hunters. I can only imagine how bad it is now. Hike, hike, hike.

I could be as simple as a loose nut at an outlet that shorted. If that is the case you might only need to trim the wires up and reinstall a new wire nut. A bad outlet or bad gfi could be the problem too. A multimeter should help you narrow it down pretty easy. Find the last outlet with power and Check the wire nuts. Then check for power leaving g that box. If you have power leaving check the next outlet and check the wire nuts there and try and figure out which wire is not carrying power to that box.

They are daisy chained together most likely. The bad connection is likely in the last box with power or the first 1 without power. Try and locate the direction the power is running through the room and start taking the outlets apart. Likely a wire connection in the daisy chain fried.

Randalls had retumbo and hybrid 100v in stock today among others. They actually had quite a bit of powder selection in stock today.

I have been looking at RL25 for the 257 too, but the H1000 has been pretty amazing so far and I haven't even really done a good load workup yet.

I have some free brass I don't shoot. Some of it I picked up at the range, some of it I was given. I want to say there is +/- 60 pcs each. I can count for sure if anyone is interested. 7-30waters 6.5 Grendel - spoken for 7mm-08 - spoken for. I am in Peoria and work in Tolleson.

A couple of my buddies and myself spent a couple hours at Phoenix Rod and Gun getting ready for our cow elk hunt next month. We got all the rifles dialed in at 100 & 200 so we decided to move back to the 500 yard line to take a poke. We all actually did pretty well for shooting mostly stock rifles. One of my buddies smacked a bullseye on his 3rd shot after putting 2 rds low and right. I missed my first shot because I have never shot this load at 500 yards. I used the 500 yard holdover pin in my scope and was WAY high. I moved down to the 400yrd pin and smacked steel. I then put down this 3rd group that I was VERY happy with. I am very impressed with how well this rifle shoots. I know it is probably luck, but this rifle and some of my nothing special handloads and this rifle flat performs. These are 115gr Berger VLD's over 67.0grs of H1000 shooting prone off my bipod. I am now really interested in getting this thing on a chrono. I think my rounds are hotter than I thought they were since I only had to use my 400yrd pin to be smacking steel like this at 500yrds. I am sighted slightly high at 200yrds though which I know is part of the reason. This long range thing is addictive. I want to get more rounds loaded and go back for more. I need more glass though. 9x isn't all that great at 500yards.

Right now I have an 8lb of IMR 4831 I am working through, and I am getting an 8lb of H1000 to start working through soon from another member here. I will probably invest in a larger container of RL22 soon too.

It is my Weatherby Vanguard in .257 Weatherby Mag. Redfield Revolution 3-9x40, Timney trigger @ 3lbs. The rifle is all stock except the trigger. This rifle always amazes me how accurate it is. I really want to put a higher power/nicer scope on it but I am afraid to mess with success. It's one of those "don't fix it if is isn't broken" kind of things.
