300RUM

It was by BoneCollector. Look under taxidermy. It's something like Pronghorn double wall pedestal.

But if they did I have heard it pairs well with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.

Congratulations nice, looking bull. You might look into something called a fillet glove. They can be made from either a cut resistant fiber or small interlocking stainless steel rings.

With an AR you can use a bumpfire stock or a trigger crank to achieve "artificial" full auto. It is legally not full auto because the weapon only fires only round per pull of the trigger, the definition of semi auto. You can file away on trigger parts to achieve an illegal shade tree full auto. This will leave the gun in a state where it will fire a round even if the bolt does not lock. You could Illegally fabricate and install an auto sear so the weapon is mechanically similar to a M-16. The guy had plenty of options available to achieve full auto fire. I would expect the probability that it was a legal NFA weapon is fairly low. I don't see the big question being how did he get a full auto rifle. The big question is why did he do it. Some are already calling it terrorism. So far no one has exposed a political, ideological or religious motivation for his actions. He may just be a mass murderer. Either way he is a criminal whose actions will be exploited by some in attempts to infringe on the rights of law abiding citizens.

I came across this while assisting on an elk hunt last week. The entire skeleton is present. I have a theory. Just curious if others will come to the same conclusion as I did.

Regrettably, I have been seating a bullet inside a pinched, once fired case into the rifle 3 times and taking an average COAL, then seating down 0.01" from there. I just got my comparator so I'm looking forward to using CBTO from here on out. Thank you for the offer! I will check out the Sinclair tool and let you know if I want to try yours first. It is possible for the bullet to catch in the lands and pull part of the way back out of the case before the entire round starts to move out of the chamber. This would give you an incorrect, long COAL to lands.

The factory accubond load being hot is interesting. It still seems like there has to be a problem somewhere in the reloads. How are you measuring COAL to lands? I have a Sinclair tool that measures from the base of a bullet seated at the lands then from the base of a fired case in the chamber. Subtract B from A, add the length of the bullet and you have a figure that's based off the actual bullet against the lands and the cartridge in the chamber. If you want to try it that way shoot me a message. I'm in Chandler.

Dump out some of your H1000 on a tray and take a real good look at it. Is it possible it's been contaminated by mixing in a faster burning powder on accident? That would give you pressure problems. You wouldn't be the first guy to do that one and you would be somewhere in line behind me.

You have a really unusual problem. It is possible the bullet could do it. If you have a box of bullets that were somehow manufactured oversized in diameter and made it past QC. An oversize bullet would be harder to force through the bore and increase pressure. Measure the accubond's diameter to rule that one out.

I think I will pass on the hardcover copy of that write up and wait for the paperback. It is hard to cram 10 days of hunting excitement into a few paragraphs isn't it? Congratulations, glad to see you got a nice bull. I wish I could have stayed longer and helped you pack it out. After playing pack mule for Edge can you imagine the rant I might have gone on if I was lugging a heavy pack down the trail next to Mulepackhunter in the same week?

The pillars are just that, two small pillars of support. They keep the stock from compressing when the action bolts are tightned and also help keep the action bolt torque consistent. The bedding process literally molds the stock to the exact shape of the action. When the action can not shift around in the stock accuracy is increased.

Well you're down to the part I hate, trying not to glue the action into the stock. Looks like you should be shooting soon. Good luck.

I considered 3 possibilities. Hunter, antler collector and poacher. To me poacher was the most likely. There is a fourth possibility. I called the location in to G&F and they told me their officers saw the antlers of dead animals they locate and bring them in to be auctioned at the expo. I thought all the stuff auctioned at the expo was recovered from poachers.

Another thing to check is decimals in your data entry. Make sure they are not misplaced, missing or entered where there should not be one. It is an easy one to miss. I once entered a 0.6 FPS per degree powder temp correction as 6. It really screwed things up.

I've called the game thief hotline for illegal hunting on my property and it's a joke. They showed up 6 hours later. Hunters were long gone. They weren't even interested in what was going on. Why not call the sheriff in that situation? Their unauthorized presence on your property constitute trespass which is a situation the sheriff's deputie is prepared to deal with. In many cases game and fish only has one officer per unit. They simply can't be there immediately when you call.

H4350 is the new Varget. That stuff was impossible to find a few years ago.

Really? You thought" Hillary for president" was better than that?

I seem to recall Chris Rock providing excellent coverage on that event.

It was on again off again a number of times for a variety of reasons. One had something to do with world's Foremost Bank AKA Cabela's Visa. The on-again off-again cycle caused quite a bit of fluctuation in Cabela's stock. I made a 20% profit in something like 2 months. No complaints here.

The weathering on the cuts is consistent with the rest of the skull, the antlers were likely cut off at time of death.

OK, but why saw them off rather than take the skull or skull plate?

The technology has existed for many years in the form of the Tomahawk cruise missile.

Does anybody remember the knucklehead a while back who mounted a semi-automatic handgun to his drone that could be fired remotely and then posted a video to YouTube? He got a visit from FAA and ATF . I believe shiny silver bracelets were involved.

Assume it was operated by a radical anti Hunter activist and carried an IED. You would have to defend yourself wouldn't you?

Glad to hear a Happy Ending to this story. Someone once said that war brings out both the worst in the best in people. It would appear that hunting does as well.
