    Diesel Fuel in a Trickle Tank

    nobody got game cam pics of someone dumping diesel in tanks? Every water hole has 42 camera's on them. Someone must have pics.

    FREAK BULL

    Tommy showed me this bull this morning when I was talking to him. Awesome. Congratulations.
  3. What are your favorite recipes? Dove are not my favorite eating meat, but are one of my favorite hunts. What are you doing for prep that makes for a nice turn out? My wife's main objection is the chewy liver texture. I normally BBQ them or bacon wrap and BBQ them.
  4. I put a DNZ I piece ring set on my buddies Howa 1500 and really liked the sturdiness and simplicity of a 1 piece mount. I have used standard leupold rings and bases on lots of rifles though and they worked great too.

    Realistic Field Shooting

    I completely agree. I am not the best at anything hunting related, but I think I have better calmness and awareness then many. I jumped 2 4x4's in 12ae last year on the early hunt. I had to make some adjustments to get a shot. I ranged them first thing at about 212 yards. I tried to use a dead tree as a shooting rest but it started to sway. I dropped down to use a downed tree as a rest, and my 40lb pack tried to suffocate me so I had to get it off. I got back on the deer who were moving away and they were trotting off. I wasn't going to take a moving shot, but I waited on them. I think disappearing behind the tree surprised them. And they would stop occasionally to try and see me. They stopped 1 time to many. I didn't have time to range again, but I knew they were probably about 250-275 so I held a touch high knowing my rifle was sighted in about 225. It only took 1 shot.

    Do something like this. The factory filter isn't capable of filtering fine enough to protect the injectors like it should. https://www.cumminsforum.com/forum/3rd-gen-non-powertrain/1204577-70-diy-2-micron-fuel-filter-kit.html

    I have the factory in tank fuel pump, and the factory fuel filter. In between them though is the DIY 2 Micron fuel filter kit I posted earlier. So realistically the factory filter is only there to act as the water separator in the fuel system.

    300 Win Mag hunting loads

    Berger hunting bullets tend to open up aggressively. A thicker jacket probably isn't an issue. My 6.5x55 didn't exit at 250yrds on my mule deer. 135gr Classic hunters. They left this exit in my buddies forkie mulie @ 45 yards. It entered the chest and exited behind the front shoulder.

    You have to do your home work and your maintenance. My last truck was a 98.5 Dodge Cummins 5.9l. I put 225k on that truck with almost no mechanical problems except a clutch, and a couple minor repairs. My current 2005 Dodge Cummins has 217k miles. It has had a clutch, injectors, unit bearings, and a driveline rebuild. Other than that it has only had small repairs and maintenance. The transmissions and injectors are the expensive things. With good care you can avoid injectors alot of times. I bough my truck used with 140K though so the injectors were already basically shot. With a manual transmission a clutch bull is about 1/3 the price of an automatic transmission rebuild. I love my Dodge Cummins trucks. I change my oil every 10,000 miles or so, keep the filters clean, and run them. They get 16-19mpg also, try that with a gas motor in a 3/4 ton plus truck. That said I am avoiding anything newer than 2007 because of all the emissions crap they added.

    300 Win Mag hunting loads

    I have had good success with group size with 208gr ELD-M bullets in a factory Savage 300 win mag. It did ok with the 210 Berger HVLD's but the 208 ELDM showed a lot more promise. That was with H-1000 powder, GM215's, Nosler brass.

    When my injectors went bad they presented as excessive fuel bypass. The computer measures how much fuel gets sent to through the return line, at a certain condition. If more fuel gets sent back then is supposed to it sets off codes which are different then what you have. We tried tightening the injector crossover tubes which helped, but didn't cure the problem. Hense the new injectors. I like my +60HP injectors, but when you pair them with a stock exhaust your EGT's get hot when towing. Also when I turn my SMARTY programmer up it smokes. The higher the number, the higher the smoke. If you get to like 7-9 setting it smokes like a freight train when you are getting after it. Even on low settings it can smoke pretty hard if you are in low boost situations. Your problem seems to be more of an electrical failure in the wiring harness or possibly the injector head.

    Also make sure if you have them do all new injectors that you have them adjust all the valves while they are in there.

    Do you plan to keep the truck? First have a mechanic test to see if the wiring harness that runs the injectors is bad. If the injectors are bad, and you are going to keep the truck, read below. If so, replace ALL 6 injectors, and replace them with 100% BRAND NEW not remanufacturered injectors. Also add in a new super fine fuel filter setup to keep the crap out of the injectors. The factory filter is not good enough. Also replace your crossover tubes when you replace the injectors. This will be an expensive job, but will be worth it if you plan to keep the truck. Make sure you use the correct injectors for your year. They used 2 different injector spray angles during the 03-07 dodge motors. The 03-04 trucks used one, the later trucks used a different spray angle. I installed engineered diesel's +60HP injectors that were built on brand new Bosch bodies in my 2005 when mine went bad. If I had a do over I would have went 100% stock injectors. http://engineered-diesel.com/complete-injector-service-kit-torquemaster-injector-set-oem-install-kit-5-9l-cummins-2004-5-2007 if you use the link below this make sure you add the crossover tubes to your order. https://www.dieselautopower.com/brand-new-genuine-oe-injector-124-late-0445120238 Here is a write up to the DIY fuel filter setup I pieced together and put on my truck. https://www.cumminsforum.com/forum/3rd-gen-non-powertrain/1204577-70-diy-2-micron-fuel-filter-kit.html

    I love my 5.9's. I have had 2 different 5.9's over the last 14 years.
  15. Legit. I have a grill full cooking right now, but I did a test sample of 3 pieces first and your recipe turns put pretty awesome!

    Grand Canyon to make second run at corralling bison herd

    So horses are protected and bison are not. We can't corral and ship of the horses that are destroying the land, but bison is all good.
  17. If it shoots 3/4moa keep it. Eric @AxisWorks LLC recently threaded, installed a brake, and cerakoted it for me. Great work. This is the 3rd rifle he has done this too for me. 2 of those rifles were factory sporter barrels. One was a 3006, and the other a 300 weatherby mag. Recoil difference is night and day. I can actually shoot the 300 weatherby with getting abused. Eric has different brakes in stock alot of times, or can get them quick. He used a 3 port on both the sporter weight barrels.

    New to 6a

    Listen for the bulls. If they are still putting out bugles go to them they are either with cows or chasing them. Get high and glass. 6a and 5BS both hold lots of elk.
  19. Your son was out there slaying yesterday. He was still shooting when I left. I think he was ankle deep in spent shells when I left!

    2 rules in life. I don't sell guns or tools. I do sell air conditioners for a living though so I guess I should sell more of those.
