I have a bit to swage/trim the primer pockets with a cordless drill.....or by hand if you are a glutton for punishment. I bought it when I was running through about 5000 pieces of 5.56 LC brass for my AR.

I been there in November when it is sunny and 60, and in July when it is snowing, and everything in between. That is why it is so easy to be a meteorologist. You don't have to be right.

I have a Primos tripod for shooting too. I will never, EVER, allow a pair of binos spotter, or camera to be mounted on it again. EVER. My son-in-law dumped my 15s over using it last year. Pannign sucks, stability sucks, height sucks if you are over 4'6". Light and stiff. Carbon fiber Manfrotto.

I started growing a goatee in 1997 and said I won't shave it until I draw an antelope tag, 3 years into my quest. Yep....still have it.

Those Tiburon pants in 30" waist Major Brown? Where are you located? I'm interested.

Stay up fine on me.

Gaiters?

I use them too.

First off, you don't ask to be put on the list. Like inviting yourself to dinner or crashing a party.

.280 Rem. Bullets from 120 to 180gr. Realistically, 140 to 168 is a perfect match.

I do my load development over many weeks/months. So fresh targets for charge weight, seating depth testing are easier. Plus, I keep a lot of targets in my load boxes for future reference.

747 if I remember correctly.

Pretty much everything I shoot is a Berger. I do have some Barnes loads for when hunting up in the 12s. Although I have not had any "long range" kills on game, I have had nothing but good success with the bullets so far (knock on wood). .224" 70 Target VLD, .257" 115 HVLD, .264" 140 HVLD & 140 Hybrids, .277" 140 HVLD, .284" 168 HVLD & 180 Hybrid, .308" 210 HVLD, 215 Hybrid, and I hope to try some 230 Hybrids this year on some bull elk (we have 4 bull tags to fill). From 20 yards to 488 yards. Most dropped within 20 yards or at the shot, only one made it 75 yards, but the blood trail was excellent with a baseball sized exit wound. From coyotes to javalina to mulies to cow and bull elk. All but 2 bullets have exited. The other 2 were just under the skin on the offside after smashing through shoulders and spines. A .308" 210 HVLD through a coyote at 320ish left a softball sized exit. and at 150 yards, left a football sized exit. So they open plenty fast. I have had identical results from Sierra Match Kings too. I did have a truly long range kill with them. I shot a coyote at 1327 with a .250 AI shooting a 100 SMK @ 3100fps MV. Also took javalina, deer and a cow elk with the same load. And a bull elk @ 160 yards with a .308" 175 SMK @ 3380fps. One of the fastest kills I have ever witnessed. Bullet was under the offside skin on that one too, about 1/2-3/4" wide mushroom.

Happy wife, happy life. Let her pick the color. I installed my entire house full of a really nice, yet rustic, knotty pine laminate about 5 1/2 years ago. I am now installing wood looking tile..... Laminate is noisy with dogs and shoes. But I love the look of wood floors. My wife wants tile.....so "we" are now doing tile. Do a high grade laminate. Do NOT go cheap. It will not last. I did cheap at my last house. I did moderate at the new house. It lasted fine for 5 1/2 years of 4 big dogs, kids, me, etc.....until the wife wanted to change it.....

These bows shoot great. My older daughter has the same bow in 40-50. She shot her first archery big game animal with it at 47 yards. An Angora goat in CA. I have a TurboTec and an UltraTec I still shoot.

Both of these are going to be tack drivers. The Sako A7 LR 7RM shot a ladder test at 300, with 13 different charge weights, into a 2.2" group. 5 shots in a row into .9" elongated flat one hole line. 168 HVLD over H1000. Super easy to adjust the trigger tpp. 1 screw, took it down to 1.7# after I shot. So should be even better next time. The Sendero .264WM, just sighting it in with generic hand loads, shot 3 different charge weight 3 shot groups at .75". Shots 4-6, 7-9, 10-12 from the new rifle. 130 HVLD over H1000.

If you need info on the unit, definitely hit up azelkhunter2. There is nothing like hunting with your kids. Make sure you document the whole thing. From prep work, shooting practice, scouting, hit an elk seminar, and of course the hunt. Take tons of photos. Whether you tag out or not, above ALL else, educate him about everything involved, and have fun!

I have several scopes in the 5-25×56 or 6-24×56 range. All work fine for long range hunting, steel, paper. They are just a touch much for close shots, but not terrible. I also have a 3-20×50and a 3-15×50. I think that range is about as good as it gets in a hunting scope for any reasonable distance, especially with a cartridge like the 6.5 CM. I would look at the 3-15 or 4-20.

Never mind, I can't read. That was an H1000 charge weight, not RL22. Carry on.
