  1. The bucks are not even looking at the doe's. I was on a 90" buck today. I seen him at 9:00 for about 2 sec at 600 yards. I got to 300 yards and set up to try to locate him. At 11:00 he came over one ridge and beaded down at 230 yards. As I was thinking if I was going to take him he got up. He only was beaded for 2 to 3 min. I took my eyes off him to get my 270 and set up to take the shot. Poof he is gone, back in the 15's and I can not find him. I think he must have beaded back down out of sight. Sunset and no Gray Ghost. I hope I can get next Friday off to make it a three day hunt. Man this new job sucks!!!!!!
  2. Email Berger @ bergerltd@aol.com, ask them for load data for your 300wm. They will email you the data for what grain bullet you want. I asked for all data for my 300 RUM. I use Hodgdon Retumbo.

    270 Win Loads

    Yes it has a 3.5 lbs timney trigger that I had done at the same time as cutting the muzzle brake off. Is that IMR 4350? And why do you suggest that powder? Is it a quicker burning powder than the RE17 for the shorter barrel?

    270 Win Loads

    Someone shot the chronograph on Saturday at the range so Sunday I could not get any muzzle velocities. It was at 100 yards for now will move to 200 next time and see how well the group stays together. No signs of over pressure at max load. I email Berger for load data and they sent me data for 130gr,140gr and 150gr hunting VLD. They used a 26" barrel so I thinking the muzzle velocities will be different with my 19" barrel. I went with the RE17 because of the fill ratio of 87%
  7. Rem 700 270 Win 19" barrel I had a muzzle brake installed on it 5 years ago for my sons first elk hut. The muzzle brake was done very badly so I just had it cut off with a 11% target crown and it is now a 19" barrel. I used Rem 150gr Core-Locks in it up till now. I Just started reloading for the 270. I am using RE17, 140gr Berger vld, rem and win brass, CCI large rifle primer. I am starting with max load from Berger load data and working down with RE17. Max is 51.5gr and working down to 49gr in .5 increments. Loaded 5 rounds each to see how they do. I will post my results as soon as i shoot them at the range. I hope the chronograph at the pima range is working so I can get better data. I hope the short barrel will not hurt the muzzle velocity to bad and will have the range and power to kill out to 600 yards. 49.5gr RE17 50gr RE17 50.5gr RE17 I like this group its a 5 shot group 51.5gr RE17 I will redo this load as I shot a 51 gr in with the 51.5 group and the guns was hot but didn't want to go another round at the range and shot them just after the 51gr group. but like some of the groups
  8. I got to the range today .49.5 of RE17 50 gr of RE17 I like this one 50.5 gr of RE17 5 shot group 51 gr of RE17 I will redo this load as I shot a 51 gr in with the 51.5 group and the guns was hot but didn't want to go another round at the range and shot them just after the 51gr group. but like some of the groups LOL looking at the targets I put 140 berger VED it should be VLD

  10. I put one in from http://www.enginesus...ta&engineid=161 in my Aunts Toyota. With shipping, new clutch, water pump, belts,sparkplugs and timing chain front cover. You need to check the timing chain cover to make sure the chain has not cut into the water jacket. This is common for the engine and will allow water to get into the oil and burn up the engine. That's what was wrong with my Aunts engine and I just move it to from the old engine to the new one. After puting everything back in and it was running grate for about 30 min i shut it down and checked the oil it was 4 quarts high on the dipstick and milky. After a lot of beep,beep,beep words I called Bob at Enginesus and he asked if I put a new timing chain cover on or used the old one. After putting a new one on from Rockauto.com and flushing the oil 2 times to get the water out. I did it for $1700 total
  11. Has anyone used the HECH Stealthscreen camo? http://www.hecsllc.com/home.html I watched the infomercial the other night on the Outdoor Chanel and wanted to see from others that have used it how good it really is. they had a promo for $30.00 off when you used the code OUTDOOR.

    34A Dec for me, this is my first Dec tag and its 1/4 mile from my front door
  13. This has happened to my son and I. I have Rem 700 270. I had a muzzle brake put on it for my sons first cow elk hunt 4 years ago. We got on some elk and when the elk busted us we headed back to the truck. About 50 yards away from the truck I ask him did you unload he said not yet. As he was used to shooting at the range I wanted to make sure he did it safe as we had my sister, brother in-law and nephew with us. We turned away from the truck. I told him to take it off safety and eject the round. I was holding the stock with my right hand at the top next to the barrel, this put the muzzle with brake about a foot away from my ear. As soon as he clicked the safety off the gun goes off. I hit the ground holding the side of my head. My sister sitting in the truck went nuts thinking I got shot, my 11 year old freaked and did not want to hunt anymore. After about 5 hours later I started getting hearing back in my right ear and calming my son down, I pulled out the 7mm RUM out that I took as a backup and he took his first elk two days later. The 270 has been put in the safe until I can afford a new trigger. I think I will use it as a starter for a custom build one day.

    trick tanks

    Most are installed maitained by the rancher that has the lease. If they do not have cattle in that area they dont wast time or money fixing them.
