P.S. - I have a fair amount of other caliber brass I would be willing to trade for 257 weatherby brass at a closer to market value. Pistol and rifle brass. Let me know. I have a fair amount of the following I am willing to trade, most is once fired with multiple head stamps. 9mm .38 special .357 mag .44 mag .45 acp .45 colt .243 win 7mm rem mag. I have smaller quantities of other brass too that I would consider trading. Harley

Let me know on the 257 stuff if anyone backs out.

I will be using a 1911 in 38 super with 125 gr. winchester silver tip hollow point if the opportunity presents itself during my rifle hunt.

I just found it. I was looking on the hunting main page. Thanks

Where is the leftover list?
-
20A general rifle again this year. Hopefully I will have better results this year.

If you said I have to leave tomorrow I would take my .257 Weatherby with 117gr. Hornady BTSP. If I ever get drawn for a tag again I MIGHT look at other options in the 7mm Rem - 338 Win Mag arena but I don't have a load worked up for any of those options or enough practice with the rifle to be ready to go without notice. Even then I would honestly probably just start working on a 117gr. Nosler Partition load for my .257 Weatherby. It is on the lighter side of bullets I like for elk but it is the only rifle I am confident with out to 500 yards with right now. Harley

Double front original.
-
I always wear carhartt. They are super durable. The original brownish color are the ones that shrink the most. The jeans and other colors don't shrink as much. The double fronts are great and you can get slip in knee pads for them which is awesome. The only thing about them is they are heavy and on warm hunts they will make you sweat more. Harley

We got hit for our javo tag!

I bought one for my wife for her birthday last year. It's pretty fun!

Like a lot of people said. If you havn't been behind the gun practicing at 500 yards for awhile you have no business taking a shot that far on an animal. Its not fair to the animal when you make a bad hit because of lack of practice or skill. I have been working with my rifle and loads decently for almost 2 years and I still am only confident in myself and rifle to about 500 yards and even at that range it would have to be a good circumstance to take that shot. My goal for this rifle and scope though is only to be able to take up to about a 600 yard shot confidently. At this point I am confident to between 400-500 yards and I have shot hundreds of rounds through this rifle and scope combo. If you have no trigger time on the gun and the load then the responsible thing to do would be keep the ranges to about 300 and sight it in at 200. A 300 Win with a reasonable load sighted at 200 wouldn't be that low at 300 that you shouldn't be able to figure out the drop with a calculator and make a reasonable correction in your scope. Beyond 300 the bullets really start to drop and knowing what your rifle and round will do is key to taking quality shots.

So G&F got close enough to photograph but not tranquilize it.....
-
I feel your pain. I missed my hunt that I was really looking forward too. 1 of our buddies backed out for family reasons, another had a grandmother die and backed out. I got sick for 2 weeks prior to the hunt and the doctor didn't have a clue what it was so I didn't want to leave town. I am frustrated that I missed it but it is driving me to want to get out more and try new things like predator hunting. I am going to try and get out to do that very soon. Harley

If you Could Have Just One...
Hoss50 replied to SheepDreams's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
I like my 257 Weatherby for AZ. I hope to make some animals hate mine soon. For overall as a 1 gun for everything up to Moose it is hard to say. I like the 300Win & 300Wea. -
I will say one thing. If you are looking for something you can work on yourself don't get anything newer and the older Cummins have a much less cluttered engine bay. A sales lady I work with brought her husbands 2012 Ford 6.7L in to work 1 day and it wouldn't start so we popped the hood. Talk about 10lbs of poop in a 5lb bag. My 2005 Cummins is so much less cluttered and user friendly it isn't funny, and my old 98.5 was even more basic. The Ford had a MAP sensor issue. He loves his Fords too. I used to be a hardcore GM guy but for daily driver tow rigs it would be Dodge, then Ford for me.

International built all Ford's diesel motors from the 6.9L NA diesel in 1980's until the new 6.7L came out. The 7.3L was the best diesel Ford ever had, and that was replaced by the 6.0L which was the worst. I don't know enough about the new 6.7L to make an educated statement on it. Some people have great success with a 6.0L but there are a lot out there that don't. A good friend of mine just paid upwards of $5000 to get the topend of his 6.0L with 140K rebuilt because of the EGR system, including 1 new cylinder head because it was cracked. International is also using the Cummins in some of there smaller product offerings now too.

I am a huge fan of the cummins motor which means I choose dodges. I have about a decade and 250k miles under my belt in cummins trucks and will deal with the subpar interiors to keep a Cummins motor under the hood. I have towed up to about 18k behind a couple different trucks with no issues. They have all been great trucks with only minor and or normal known issues. They have all been pre 07 when the PDF filters or DEF fluid was required. I just bought my 2005 Cummins Dodge because it was pre emissions and plan to keep it for a long time. Harley

2014 "Brother Buck" (long post and picture heavy)
Hoss50 replied to lancetkenyon's topic in Mule Deer Hunting
I wondered why I hadn't seen you on UT in awhile. My buggy has been sitting since my son was born 2.5 years ago. Hopefully soon he will be able to spend some time in the garage soon. I took him out scouting for Javo last season and he loved it. I hope he gets interested in both hunting and wheeling. -

Nice work Lance. Congrats on a very nice buck. Are you getting out wheeling anymore with all these hunts? Harley
