I'm about opportunity it's the only time I get off work anymore .So I don't put in for the premium hunts anymore. Been drawn 14,15,16,and 20 for various hunts in 6a .Two were general cow and two were muzzy bull .Took elk on 3 of 4 hunts.I did the late 23 archery hunt 1 year and saw 1 bull the whole hunt and had a release malfunction that cost me that bull .The late hunts can be tough.

Looking into it more and dies are available and it looks like 6.5 Creedmoor brass is the way to go .Neck them down and you'll have plenty of brass and the ability to make all the ammo you could need.

That's a tough one .The only place with any ammo for sale is gunbroker.

Cool looking for sure.

Going by one of the charts I figure I'd have lost about 65 to 70 feet per at there 1.42 fps. The temp and a suppressor where the only changes.The can would mess with barrel harmonics and probably get me some back pressure and maybe the rest of the speed .The r17 still shot with a es of 22 and a SD of 9 . I'm going to work up loads with different powders the staball ,varget,and r16 were recommended. So it looks like a trip to Bruno is in order .

Thank you .I'll start there and work my way up.Its a custom 7-08 with a brux 26inch barrel that was put together by Phoenix custom rifles .It's disappointing to loose so much from the summer at 3034 to 2900 with current temps. Hopefully this powder is more stable and still gets me some speed and accuracy.

It's a 7-08 and I need to run copper for California hunts with dad. I was running r17 and it was shooting great in the summer but lost it in the cooler temperatures. 168s would probably be slow and not enough powder to get them going. I was at 3034 and dropped to 2900

My dad is a hunter safety instructor in California and he tells me it's hard to get new instructors .Most are retired gentlemen and do it for the enjoyment of teaching the next generation. When they do finally stop teaching it's almost impossible to replace them.I was asked many years ago if I was interested in teaching or helping out here in Arizona and had to pass as I don't have enough time to dedicate .Please remember most are volunteering there time and most will make room for the younger kids .

I didn't see anything in there manual that gives you the data on hold over .But most are only true at full power unless they are noted for a set magnification. Some are just short of full power and will usually have a mark or dot on the mag ring.First focal plain is the way to go if you can get use to the cross hair shrinking and growing with magnification.

Way to go !!nice ram

For anyone looking midway USA had a .284 26 inch sendero light 1in 8.4 twist on clearance for 615.86 when most places are 779 or more.

Checked this morning and looks like there all gone 😕 .It was a great deal while it lasted .

There is currently a post in the classifieds for 243 ammo for sale. Good luck with your pig hunt .I did California pigs over father's day and had a good time.

I ordered the 26 sendero light a few days ago and they were still showing 1 in stock this morning and it was 50 bucks cheaper .I'm hoping they will give me the better price but that's still a great deal .

Anyone headed to Tucson and back to the valley that could pick these up and meet in the valley? There going to some of the most grateful kids .

There older Bushnell I believe 2x 6 but I'd have to check .They seem to have a small eye box and if your not perfect aligned behind the scope you can't see .Probably just need new scopes with a wider field of view .Maybe a bi-pod and a bag will take care of it.

Free bump my buddy picked up 2 pups from one of the last litters and they are great dogs.

Yep I get that .But usually the processor will tell you what the minimum batch of sticks or sausage is say 10 lbs min and what fat they are adding (pork,beef) then set a price per pound .I will say those sticks and sausage have made me hungry.

Reading this and it sounds like a good screwing. That's a bunch of cash for alot of not deer sticks and sausage after they added the bulk of other meats.My bull elk a few years back dressed out at 399 and wasn't that much .Then you get to the post with all the sticks and sausage and then you just loose it and get hungry.

What kind of setup are you using to keep the pistol steady? I've got a striker in 22-250 also with a pistol scope on top and it seems like the cross hairs are always dancing around. Same with my contender in 223

Cva has upped the max powder for the paramount and the pro to 115 gr by weight of blackhorn in the 45 cal muzzle break highly suggested. It's plenty punishing without

We quit using miller's and started using Casey's in flag .Sure do miss Ron in Payson!! Sold the place after his wife passed and went to live closer to his boy in Utah or Colorado.

When do the youth deer hunts typically start?Elk is usually October .I'm trying to get my dates set for next year's youth giveaway. Thanks.

My buddy has them and likes them.Sportsmans had them for 129.99 . Bass pro,cabelas had leupold 10x42 with a binoculars harnes for the same price.I picked up a pair for the kids giveaway. Info on the giveaway will be posted at the beginning of the year.
