  2. There's elk all over that unit.  Not sure where your coming in from but if it was me, I'd hunt the northern part of the unit between the 52 and 107.  I'd avoid anything east of the 107.  Any forest road on the north end (220, 549, 473, ???)  should get you a decent location for base camp and into the elk.

    Best of luck to your son.

    The overall length because of the bullet makes them too long for just about any 44 mag. Diameter is correct but just to long. There are a few people who say they can get them to work in a 44 mag but involves trimming the case short and such so overall length stays short enough.

    Yep, exactly what the Hornady reloading manual says to do, shorten the case to a predetermined length when using FTX bullets.  States the ogive is to long and will interfere with chambering if the case is not shortened, which also reduces case capacity.


  4. Had the same thing happen to me today.  Wife called to say our card was used in a fraudulent transaction and the CC company called her.  I asked which card and she said visa.  I replied "well *$&#&, there goes the elk hunt chance this year."  Guess I wont call G&F tomorrow like i had planned...

    Sorry to hear, but you are not alone.

    On the bright side, my wife did also say "well *$&#&'em, lets go hunt elk in Colorado then"
