SOLD. Please delete

Thanks for the interest, the DT3 would come with no lid as I am keeping my XTL. IT will accept any lid though. The size should be right around 3700-4000 Cubic inches. Same layout as the DT2, but does not have the sleeping bag compartment on the bottom, and the opening on top is smaller. I have the DT2 that I am going to stick with for most of my hunting, but am always wanting to try something new. I think I am going to try the nomad next, but probably never get rid of my DT2. You guys that own these packs know how they are pretty addicting. haha

Great choice. MBG is a nice sight, but the Spot Hoggs are in another category above them.

Freaking Stud buck. I love the mass on that deer. Nice going
-
This is a great step in the right direction.

I use a traeger, and have been very happy with it.

Yeah, I heard they have switched their stuff around at Wac em'. After Scott had his problems, Sharon (his mom) took over the company, and got them back on the market. She is an awesome person and ran the company fantastic. She was forced into it after Scott had his issues, and I am glad that she built it back up and was able to sell it. It will be a shame if the new owners ruin it again. It is a good thing I have over 40 of their older heads. I am going to be bummed out when/ if I have to switch it up. Broadheads are often the first crutch that everyone leans on when they make a piss poor shot. The broadhead always gets blamed for wounded animals.

I used to shoot these right as they were released. I was given a couple dozen to "test" and report my success with them. My report was, they fly phenomenal. True field point accuracy out of my bow. I took a turkey and muley with them. The blood trail on the Muley was good, and he expired pretty fast. The turkey was almost instant, because it snapped the back on the exit. The reason I do not continue to shoot them is because of how weak the blades were. I had multiple blades snap off after shooting them into the block target. This would usually take a few shots, but non the less, they snapped without hitting anything major other than foam. The heads also bent very easily if you missed, or stuck them in a tree. If they have strengthened their heads up, I think they would be a good head to shoot. I now shoot Wac em's, and can not convince myself to try anything else.

You figured it out, G&F employees wanted to get ahead of the line for a Javelina and Turkey tag...

I received mine on tuesday. It did not turn on, and apparently I'm the first guy in the country to get a defective one. Sucks, it has a direct short inside. Sig is doing a great job on getting me a new one, but what a bummer

LOL, name dropping Dennis wins the pissing match on spelling!

Thanks for the replies. I might kick it around a bit, before I decide. I am thinking, this might be a 500-700 barrel life cartridge? Seems to be considerably more efficient than the 7Rum on powder consumption.

WOW really?
HuntHarder replied to azbirdhunter88's topic in Small Game, Upland Bird, and Waterfowl Hunting
I have gotten to the point of telling anyone I take to a spot of mine, exactly what I think of them going there without me. The conversation is usually pretty point blank blunt, but they understand that they are not to go to that spot without me, or without asking. Do I own the spot? No, but I showed them the spot, so between us 2, I own the spot. Sucks that this guy did this to you. -
Come on guys, I want to see some pics of some bulls out of here. Anyone able to knock one down yet?

Bergers FAILED me horribly
HuntHarder replied to joelpresmyk8's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
I was trying to post a picture of the coues I shot this year. I shot it at 580 with the exact bullet you are shooting. 185 gr VLD. Exit is 1 small hole thru the hide, and about 5 holes under the hide. Bullet blew to pieces with awesome expansion on a smaller animal. My muzzle velocity is 2900 out of 300 WSM. -
Bergers FAILED me horribly
HuntHarder replied to joelpresmyk8's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
LOL I just saw that it said 500 lbs of energy, meant *1500. dang keyboard. With the #'s you posted, that is bad performance. Should have expanded with those for sure. -

HuntHarder replied to joelpresmyk8's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
If you email Berger, they will tell you that for expansion, they want the bullet to be traveling atleast 1800 FPS. Hope this helps. As far as other bullets to try, SMK's would be my choice if the bergers do not expand at that distance. -

I would guess velocity to be around 1650-1700 at 600 yards with about 500 lbs of energy. -
30-06 Barnes Bullets Seating Depth
HuntHarder replied to Wetfinn's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
In my past experience, barnes bullets can be tough to load for in some guns, and others shoot them lights out. I tried to get the TTSx to shoot out of my 300 wsm, and could never get the accuracy I wanted. I tried seating depth changes, powder changes, and different primers. MY gun just hates them. Switched to Berger, and found great accuracy right away. some guns, just like different flavors imo.
