And put a cotton ball in the end to protect the bullet tip. +1 on the puller. Never tnought about the cotton ball I have tossed out close to 12 bullets

I started reloadimg just about 2 years ago. My dad wanted me to start reloading so he bought me the RCBS starter kit it had almost everything needed. I have also added a RCBS trickler, Lee case trimers (only because they are cheeper then an elect. one) a hornandy mic. ,case tumbler, one shot spray lube. What I found to help is read some books but then have someone show you how.

In Tucson by the park place mall there is a savers they almost always have some kind of camo in all sizes. I have found some good deals for my kids and some for me as well. $3-$15 bucks.

would you take a trade

It is good I had it fried. But I would think it would be good as sweet and sour. Any way would good

Trust me I am not an expert and don't know much about the 7mm-08. I know it is a necked down .308 where 25-06 is a necked down 30-06. The 7mm-08 runs like 140 gr bullet where the biggest for the 25-06 is 120 gr. The drop on the 25-06 is just about the same as the .270. not sure about the 7mm-08 but you could google it. What I like about the 25-06 is you can use it from varments to elk. Realy no felt recoil

Any trades

IMO the 25-06 has the same recoil as the .243. I even gave my friends son that had only shot his .243 and he said the same thing about the same or a little less for him. I also shoot hand laods and it will kill deer out to 600 yards with the right hold over. IMO it is a better all around cal then the .243 if you live close to me i will be more then happy to go out with you and let you try it. My .02 is it is an AWSOME cal. let me know if I can help

The 25/06 is what I started my daughter on I also own one and that is my go to even over my .270 if you can shoot one they are flat shooting and drop anything in it tracks. I didn't put high end scope on it. Because they are kids and will drop them slip and fall so I put good but not a vx3 like what I got. You can always up grade later. But really look at a 25/06 sportsman has them for $450 with scope but a Remington

Is it that you can't find h4831 if so try gun shops in tucson found powder at Murphy's

I like 22-250 and the 25-06 just denpends on how long the shot is.

I have seen many show where they are using howls. I have used them and got a reply but i think i get to over the top with calling after that or dont wait long enuff

I have always been told that the only season that you counot was elk. But dont no for sure about that. Now I have been checked by GF while a deer hunt was going on and I filled my deer tag I told him all I had was a lion tag he said let me see it no problems. If any thing look at the ars

I am the same baot as you are but I have baught 3 e callers and probley $200 0r $300 in hand calls. I think I dont wait long enuff. Can't wait to see where this goes. And I am out where I don't think it has been called that much. I would trade all the dogs in Az for a Mt. lion even if you saw it first that is good calling

When I shot factory ammo I used good old Remington core lock never had one walk away and the .270 works best with 130gr IMO that is the best load with our breaking the bank. But now that I reload I use 130 gr sat awesome little bullet

Well here is mine from the years

I feel the same way as you all do. I bought something and gave someting to someone off this site. It is good feeling that on here you have no worries. These are the people I like seeing in the field.

What would you take for the bsa

On the news I saw a part of an interview and I feel that he liked helping his fellow man. He put so much on the line and was respected by all. I read the book and didn't feel like he enjoyed it like we would think.

If you havent read his book Find it he was the best there ever was he really saved alot of lives over there and never looked back. He was and will always be a hero.

I read the book to what a shame. Didn't see that it was another solder that killed him but if so feel bad for him as well my bro is one that suffers from stuff from the corps and when we talked to someone about getting him help they said he is ours for one more month then not our problem. So much training on war but none on how to deal with it. But Kyle never thoght he would die in the states. Gods speed Kyle and feel bad for his wife an kids

This all started july 2011 when my wife and best hunting buddy found out she was going to have our second child. She manned up and hunted that year with me the best that she could bing 6 mo. along. So just afterr having the baby it was time to put in for the draw agan. she didn't want to go "at first". But when I found out I got my first choice she got "the bug" to go. So she got a left over tag for the area where we live. Tada same time DIFFERENT unit then where I was going to be. All i could think was should I be happy or should I let her. Well any smart married man will say her. We worked it out I would take the first 3 days and I would help her the rest. Game day. Woke up to high winds I saw 1 little buck. I passed it up and got so much crap for it. Day 2 wind, rain, snow and more wind I saw 1 that morning but couldent get the water off the glass to see what it was. That afterr noon got up a little 3x3 and a nice heavy 3x3 I chocked and missed. GOT CRAP for missing that shot. Next morning dad came up to hunt told where we had been what we saw (dad has hunted the same unit from 1973 til now and knows every rock where we hunt) he says lets go back. Ok weather is awsome I get 30 min form truck and there he is just about 175 yards or so. One shot he goes down So on the way home I call and tell her to get her things ready. The next morning we set out to her unit. 45 min after sun up we have three bucks spotted she takes the shot it was a miss. We try to find them after they topped the ridge can't. We set out to find a different spot to get out and hike and maybe find the deer. Stopped and asked one family of hunters(he is a member on here) they gave us good info well we struck out. Day 2 of her hunt saw deer no bucks but got a flat, next morning tire shop then on our way. getting into the area see some deer go to put stock on them they hop over fince with NO HUNTING signs on it. get going agan nice 65 to 70 inch bucks jumps in the middle of the road on us, cant do anything (both are funny but not when you have the tag) I guess. Next and last day go up to where we saw the bucks on the first day tada another flat tire. I tell the boss to get off the raod and glass the hill where the bucks where and I no sooner get the jack out and hear got a big buck out there. Well he moves off into the shadows befor we can do anything. then from under the truck I can see him topping over with 5 or 6 more so we move on them and couldent find the big one but found a 2x2 and couldent be prouder to call her my wife and hunting buddy.

I is an older one. Not one of the new ir ones.

My dad asked me to put this up for sale for him. It is an older Redfield 6-18 long range scope it has good glass. I dont know too much about it. I has a built in range finder and there is some rub marks and ring marks. He is asking $275 obo maybe even a trade.

Let us all know how this weekend goes. We still hope to get in on the March 16 th hunt
