  1. I have some extra muzzleloading items I am in no longer in need of and could also use trade items dependent on what you have. I have 500 count 209 primers and 2 1 pounders unopened of Triple Seven propellant. Is anyone in need of these items and would like to trade for other primers, powders, or bullets? PM me if interested and we can chat a trade. I am in the Tucson area....

    7mm-08 Pet Load Data

    Lots of options these days for more than the 2.80" or similar constraints.

    Trigger pull weight on long range hunting rifle?

    About as low as I go is a pound, prefer 1.5 pounds. Ounces can get sporty if you're not careful for a variety of reasons. And definitely don't lend your gun out with a 4 oz. trigger...😆

    7mm-08 Pet Load Data

    For 120-140 grain bullets far and away the best powder is Ramshot Big Game for both velocity and accuracy IME. Safely, with 22" barrels in multiple rifles including notoriously slow Tikka barrels, 140's can get 2900-2950 at the upper node with good brass life and 120's can go 3100+....

    7mm-08 Pet Load Data

    Reloader 17 is a great 7-08 powder, as is H4350 and most others in that burn rate. For heavies in a 7-08, I like the 168 Berger VLD. Great bullet down to 1600 or so impact speeds and penetrates well. Run those numbers at 2,650 MV.

    Wife and I doubled yesterday

    Another classic thread on why anyone worth a shoot doesn't post pictures or stories anymore.... The ankle biters are rampant.... If you can't participate in any meaningful way then quit acting like a lib and STFU...

    Over the counter tags

    The amount of hunters this year is epic. It's bad. Like really, really bad....
  16. It always is with regulators. It's all politics. All their minds are made up. It depends if someone can politically make them compromise or change their minds.... Public comments are just a charade they have to legally do.
  17. +1. My first thoughts are that both the commissioners freely admit they didn't grow up hunting either and are first generation hunters, the first of their family. Them making big decisions with a bit of missing context is concerning. I listened and agree with these thoughts. I also came away with their continual reference of 30+ cameras per water that the entire ban is indeed related to the Strip, Kaibab, Unit 9 elk, etc. and not the majority of the state. They do make some valid points however IMHO...

    My Mentor

    My confusion (and lots of people's I have now found out) on the thread stems from the level of ego to even start the thread which based on other threads I've been reminded of that you have participated in on this forum, I should visit the site more often and I would know how you conduct your business. Your mentor must be proud. Actions conducted with grace and selflessness without the overwhelming ego and narcissism, which is how you are coming across, is much more effective long term if you want folks to talk about you. Obviously YMMV. Pardon my intrusion on your thread. I'm done.

    46A East?

    Following this thread for sure. Keep us updated. I'm only applying for the hunts that are likely gonna be like this as I started late in life moving to AZ 10 years ago. Good luck man. I'm SW of Tucson and if I can assist on any way holler. Including hiking crazy stuff to see nothing. I'm less that 2 hrs or so from Ajo too...
