Hey silver bullet, which of those three vehicles rode the best off-road under "normal" off-road driving for hunting? Rocks, washboard, dips, etc. Aren't those raptors a few inches wider in wheel and body stance than the regular trucks for better stability? How much wider and how much towing capacity? Thanks

Try seating the bullet to the length listed in the loading book, then see if it will chamber. If it does, I would pull at least three of them and check for powder charge weight and consistency. If that all checks out then start at the lowest charge listed in the book with the powder and work from there.

That should work. I think most guys try for two three or possibly four on a hunting rifle. It's never a bad idea to make sure all of your reloads chamber before you go on a hunt.

Overlooked your post, glad you got it figured out. Those cases should be fine to fire, but as always, look for pressure signs. Lots of knowledgeable reloaders on this site. With a hard bolt close, possibly a problem with galling? Make sure there's a small dab of Grease on the lugs where they lock everything tight

Lots of good suggestions. Try them one at a time. Also try trimming a case back about .010 at a time and chamber a resized case without seating a bullet. Possibly a carbon ring?

That length should be good according to the books. It doesn't sound like your bullet is touching the lands. You could smoke a case or color it with a sharpie before you put powder in it and see if it is contacting anywhere. If you don't have a headspace gauge, they are great to give you a minimal shoulder bump. Usually it will increase accuracy and definitely will make your brass last longer. Check everything you can and also make sure your chamber is clean

I have an RCBS 3 die set for $45. Also have brass & bullets. West Valley.

I've been happy with my Hornady Auto charge. It will sometimes overcharge, but it notifies you with a beep and a light and usually if I slow the speed down that helps a bunch. I believe with any of them if they act funny, make sure they are plugged in to a separate circuit if possible and don't use a power strip either.

I just got a notification that they have popular ammo calibers in stock.
-
More match cases and Forster neck reamer added. Willing to separate. Dies $40. All bullets $70. Neck reamer and 275 pieces of brass $50. LC 65 match cases were .308 and all 145 have been necked down to .243. They are once reloaded and twice fired. Additional 40 cases are factory mixed head stamps and once fired. Meet at Cabela's.

21 hours ago, yotebuster said:I don’t think people have ever sat down to do the math on some of the stuff they put in for. My current draw strategy is trying to work out and work on my mobility and range of motion. No joke. I’ve come to the conclusion that to draw a lot of the tags I started putting in for 10-15 years ago that I figured I’d draw in 20 years are all going to be 30-40 years out. Not because the supply will finally catch up with the demand, but simply because I will have to outlive all of the people in tiers around and above me and still be physically able to go on the hunt. It seems crazy but there will be people that die with 50-60 points for a lot of tags and never see them, myself included (god willing).
I don't think it will ever happen, but if they had some type of a scale based on age first and then amount of points they could have a complicated and possibly sliding scale that could help older applicants. They could also set aside some premium tags for applicants over a certain age and in my opinion also with at least 10 bonus points. Obviously, no putting somebody else on the application without the same qualifications. That would definitely help the aging hunters that have waited and built bonus points. I do think the 3-year waiting period could also help just a little bit, and we all know every little bit helps.

Full length, seating, and neck die. Three loaded rounds are various factory for standards. 30 once fired rounds are sized, trimmed, primed, deburred, and chamfered. Three boxes of bullets in Middle are full, all others are labeled for quantity. Six ammo boxes are empty brass of various firings. 175.00

I certainly hope this doesn't happen to anybody... But, if you get scoped during the test do they send you home? I guess they wouldn't want any of that blood on the meat. jk

26 minutes ago, Delw said:you probably have 50% that wont be able to pass the shooting test, and another 20-30% that wont pass background test
I wonder if they will allow bipods or shooting sticks or anything else for the shooting test.

According to the news, more than 45,000 people from all over the US applied. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

375 is the minimum for the all-time book which I believe is published every 6 years. 360 is the minimum for the awards book which I believe is published every 3 years. If it doesn't make 375 it will never be in the all-time book. Animals in the all-time book will be there forever. The awards book animals will only be in the book for the 3-year period respectfully.
