Cartridge of the Week: .243 Winchester
Hoss50 replied to AZFieldOptics's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
I laugh all the time about all the people thinking 6.5 creed is so revolutionary. The 260 has done it for years, and the 6.5x55 has done it for 125 years. The only thing a 6.5 creed can do that a 6.5x55 can't is fit in a short action. So many good old calibers like 6.5x55, 264 Win Mag, etc are overlooked because they are not the new hot thing. Some of the old stuff is better than the new hot thing many times. -
I have over crimped a few 3006 rounds back in the day and crushed the shoulders. 357 mag too. I have also stuck a few cases in reloading dies because of lack of lubrication. 300 weatherby mag seems to be the worst. I had to use a hammer to drive the case out of the die with the decapping rod. It destroyed the decap rod, but the brass came out. My dad loaded a 338 win mag with no powder once. He also loaded an unprimed case with powder and bullet. I had to ban him from his own reloading equipment when I was about 12 years old...

I full length size because I own/inherited all full length die sets... I am no reloading genius but it has worked well for me so far.

Cartridge of the Week: .243 Winchester
Hoss50 replied to AZFieldOptics's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
.243 is a great round. My mom shot a Savage 99 in 243. Both the 243 and 22-250 share the crap twist rate that the won't stabilize the big bullets though that hurts them both from being even more popular. I have no doubt that a 243 would take care of an elk with the right bullet in the right place at a reasonable range, and is more than capable of anything smaller with plenty of muscle to spare. -
Call Randall's. I have 1lb, but that isn't enough to get you 200 rounds most likely.

Where are you?

Need Help Purchasing "Primary" Hunting Rifle
Hoss50 replied to rpowell600's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
Left hand tikka. That is what I am looking at for my kids who need to shoot left. Theirs will be 6.5x55 most likely. 270, 3006, 308, any of the 300 mags, 6.5 creed, 7-08, etc will all get it done on anything in AZ. -
Yep. Permit otherwise it isn't legit when you go to sell.

I am going to try some 185gr Berger Classic hunters in my 300 weatherby. The 135gr 6.5 cals did great on 2 deer last season, so I am going to try and use the 185gr this cow elk season. I have a decent load worked up in my 300 win mag with 208gr ELD-M bullets. I have not put 1 in an animal yet though. For moose I would be looking at something a little tougher personally. Nosler Partition or other heavily constructed bullet.

The wife had a big pack of bacon she needed to use up so she did this for dinner. Jalapeno poppers, deer meat loaf bacon wrapped, and cauliflower with olive oil, parsley, garlic, and parmesan cheese on top.

I am not in a huge hurry. Please let me know. Thank you.

Does anyone have a set of blued 30mm high rings for Leupold standard bases. 1 twist in dovetail, 1 with screws? I bought a set of medium and they are 1mm to short for my scope. I am in Glendale but travel all over Phoenix Metro for work.

Typically a delay gives them 3 business days to research your background. They are required to call back and deny you in that 3 day window, otherwise no call or response during that time means they can release the gun. Ask them to show there store policy if it differs from the federal law. Make them give you a refund or give you the gun.

What years do they fit?
-
14 points would probably get her and early kaibab tag for sure, and put her in a good spot on late. Just dont do 12b early.
-
Ehat units do they do kids camps in, and what age are they allowed to go? A buddy of mine is thinking about putting his son in.

I bought insulated Nevadas before last years deer hunt. I am so glad I did. They are a great boot. Non-insulated would probably have been fine, but I seem to hunt elk when it is cold so I went that way. I dont really pack hunt deep in nasty country so the Nevada is a good choice for me. If i was going deep with heavy packs in nasty territory, something taller and stiffer might be better. I bought mine through Ross. They had several models in stock in most of the common sizes. They were great. I had to order mine because I needed the 12.5 wide boot. They had a 12 in stock that felt good but snug, so I new the extra room of the wide 12.5 wide would be perfect.

I wouldn't be talking to the camera like that without talking to a lawyer first. Glad nobody was hurt though.

Axisworks has been doing a few muzzle brakes for me, and one day I plan to have them build a rifle for me. My 257 weatherby will need a new barrel sometime in the near future I am sure.

I listened to the Below the Belt on it last night. He is right.

The only 2 I listen to every time is Cleared Hot and Below the Belt. I am surprised at the amount of Brendan Schaub fans. I listen to most of the Meateater, Jocko, and Hunting Collective podcasts.

Towing out of terminal 4 garage sky harbor
Hoss50 replied to oscararias102909's topic in The Campfire
Like mentioned. Lost brakes, and lost power brakes are different things. If you only lost power assist you should be able to make it out with the emergency brakes and some heavy leg exercises. You might have Popeye thighs when you are done though. The other option to get out of the garage is have a buddy with a truck meet you there. You tow him out of the garage. He uses his brakes to slow both of you. Once you are out, you can get a normal tow truck to take it from there. Or mobile mechanic. -
To further today's installment of traeger cooking... bacon wrapped vidalia onions and squash to add along with a nice chunk of brisket.
