    People here are funny:  

    The constantly complain about how incompetent the Game & Fish is (or at least their draw system), but they have complete and total faith in their ability to precisely execute the drawing process with the same exact precision they have done in the past, and then form all these baseless conclusions based on that confidence.  

    Nobody has a tag yet.  This season is a just a hack-the correct presumption that if you have been charged for a tag you will receive one.  The G&F has not asserted anything and has the prerogative to handle the draw and timing of it anyway they want to until you have been officially notified as either having been “drawn” or “not drawn”.

    Honestly, if I worked at the G&F and had any say in the process I would drag it out the way the appear to be doing right now.  Sitting around reading all the whining and theorizing on these website threads would be the most entertaining week of my work year.

    Anyone else fortunate enough to pull a tag have their portal change from showing a tag number to saying "no tag"?

    That's what is happening now for me for elk, had AZGFD charges on my CC for two tags and for the last few days the portal said tags 360/361, now nada.

     

    Mine just changed too.  Probably just the update process.  I would not worry about it,.....yet.

    I ended up with a couple extra 8 ounce bottles of BH209 I picked up for a friend. However, he had already bought some from midway when it was in stock.  I traded 1 for some primers and aleady have enough for my own personal use.  I have a little over $57.00 in it with tax.  I would be happy to sell it for my cost to a CWT ML hunter if you need it.  Sorry, no shipping.  I live in far northwest Peoria or work near I17 & the 101.

     

    Send me a PM if interested.

    Will trade 1 new, unopened 8 ounce bottle of Blackhorn for a half brick (500) of 209 primers. Must be CCI 209M or Federal 209A.  If you need more powder I would be willing to sell one additional bottle go for $60.00 with the primer trade.   Not looking to sell the powder outright, just need primers.  Sorry, I don't want to ship.  I work near I7 & Loop 101 or live in the far northwest valley.

    Blackhorn is more responsive than pyrodex or 777 so blackhorn has a site and recommendations for powder charges don't count on the tube markers to be accurate if you can weigh charges at 100 gr by volume is 70 gr by weight 120 gr volume a max charge probably for your gun is 84 gr by weight. Use Teflon tape on the breach plug threads to prevent stuck plugs and you can use your standard cleaning supplies when running Blackhorn .your gun and your shoulder will let you know what it likes for powder weight.make sure you have the breach plug for blackhorn its different.depending on location I can give you a hand I've got 5 muzzys. I'm in Gilbert

    Thanks for the info.  I do plan to weigh my charges (I work at a lab and have access to calibrated balances that are accurate to 1/10,000 of a gram).  The teflon tape is a new one though that I will look into.  So you don't use an anti-seize grease?  As far as the basics I have done a ton of research so I feel like I have most of the process covered.  It is mainly trying to find which loads will work best in my gun.  I guess I won't know until I try different variables.  I was hoping for some feedback as to where to start with using the 285 grain ELR's.  Unfortunately, there is not as much data on the .45 vs. 50.  It seems like lot of folks bash PB's but I suspect the ELR is a little different that some of their other bullets, at least I hope so because I have a bunch of them.

    I was thinking about 500 would seem fair.  I paid $50.00 + tax (yeah Cabela's is a rip).  That translates to $100.00 for a brick of primers which seems to be the current resale rate at the moment (if/when you can find them).  I might take 400 if I get desperate or cannot find them retail.  I am not at that point, it is just that I have more powder than primers and want to start developing loads in a few weeks for a new muzzy acquisition. 

    Just saw someone post that Cabela's may have BH so maybe there is less value in my offer but I am thinking in a few days/weeks there will be another shortage.

    Looking to trade 1 fresh and unopened 10oz bottle of Blackhorn for CCI 209M or Federal 209A primers.  I am not looking to sell the powder although I will trade smaller quantity of primers plus cash if that is the only deal out there.  Live in far NW Peoria but work close to I17 & Loop 101.  I am also in Flagstaff weekly.

     

    Thx
