i used to have a book about all the Northern Arizona public camping grounds, it had info on all the lakes from Big Lake to Kaibab Lake, i've since lost it and would like to replace it. My family and I are planning a trip up north, not sure of the location yet. But i would curious if another member knows of a book with this particular criteria, I'd rather have a book with some rather up to date info on it. I can only stare at the internet for so long, i much prefer a book. Thanks in advance.

Looking a book about Camping spots up north
ctracingraptor replied to ctracingraptor's topic in The Campfire
That one on amazon, was my number one choice, Arizona Highways has one also, but after doing a little research, it got horrible reviews. I'm not against using the internet, i just prefer a book, kinda like i prefer a solid topo map. -
Thats a great price for a blem billet lower, i might have to check them out, if nobody has one available. Thanks

Ive got some extra uppers lying around, and i need another project. I was thinking of making a match grade AR15, or AR10. I figured I would check on here first before i ordered one, i see them every ao often. Curious if anyone has one they might let go of. I'm looking for a good or high quality setup. Aero Precision, Spikes, Bravo Company, Seekins, LMT, or similar. Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

I personally havent shot a coyote with a SMK, or a HPBT match, I imagine they will both get the job done, with favor to the SMK, only because I've seen what a SMK will do in larger calibers. But i do like the Hornady because they are almost half the cost of a SMK, and my ar15, likes them both lol
-
Sportsmans usually has the 100 rd box of 69 SMK, once you to step up to the 77gr, the price is crazy. So if im shooting heavy loads, i switch to the Hornady 75gr HPBT match, way cheaper!
-
Your barrel will really like 69 and 77 grain SMK, with about 24-25 grains of Varget. Set them to mag length. Thats what i run in mine. I'm sure Lance will chime in and give you some more specific data.

Everything is working on my portal login, it's kinda cool how it shows your old drawn results, and how far back it goes. All of your successful draw hunts and all of the not drawn.

7mm Rem. Mag & 168gr Berger HVLD loads?
ctracingraptor replied to Hoss50's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
I have a couple of loads worked up, with major help from lance. I will tell you my sendero will take way over the manuals MAX load with H1000, with no issues. I dont know how your ruger will like it though. -
The eld match is rather easy to come by. Now the eld-x are hard to find.

Lance, the safe outlet is right down the street from you. I know you've seen the safe from the I-17 and Bell

High Volume 223/556 reloading
ctracingraptor replied to n2horns's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
I load mine on the dillion, if you get two people, one checks every 3-5th charge, and keeps the machine fed lol. as long as you dont use the extruded powder, mine will really crank some out on blc-2, its just not nearly as consistant when using varget. -

ELD-X load data
ctracingraptor replied to ctracingraptor's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
Berged VLD to ELD Match 7MM -
So i finally got into some eld-x 30cal 178gn bullets, i cant find any load data. I contacted Hornady and they have no load data for the 178gn, they only have load data for the 200gn bullets. I contacted Hodgdon because I will be using Varget powder, and they told me they have no load data, and to contact Hornady. So im kinda at loss, and dont know which direction to go. Should i start a powder around a 178gn A-MAX and work up from there?

Recommendation for a Scope on an AR Style
ctracingraptor replied to trphyhntr's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
Your Leupold will work just fine, i run a Vortex Diamondback 4-12-40, i can stretch to 600 yards. I will be switching to a Strike Eagle eventually. -
ELD-X load data
ctracingraptor replied to ctracingraptor's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
I dont have any AMAX to compare them to sorry, and 208gr is way to heavy for my barrel. Maybe someone could cross reference an amax with the pic I provided -
ELD-X load data
ctracingraptor replied to ctracingraptor's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
Thanks for posting this! It appears the bearing surface is quite a bit longer on the ELDs. Can you confirm? Yeah like 308nut stated, the bearing surface is much longer, the base to ogive length is different, and the ogive profile is different when compared to a 175 SMK or TMK. I was on 43gr Varget and was drilling my plate at 600 yard plate right out of the box. I'll try and post another side by side comparison when my 7mm ELD Match bullets show up later this week. -
