MRL1984

I only have a pound of RL22, so im waiting to test it. Do you notice any temp sensitivity with it?

Checked berger book and it shows max charge of 51 grains with the 140 and 4831sc. Should of sent this while I was looking, because I can't remember what 90% full it was. Got them loaded up to 51 today, going to load one bullet in half grain up to 53. See what pressure signs show up if any.

I just got my savage dialed at 100 with Nosler trophy grade Accubond 130s. Seems to like that better than the HSM 142 Sierra. I am going to be loading the 140 Bergers in the not too distant future, but I'm doing development for 3 other guns at the moment well. Finally got serious about loading and a weekend with nothing but time. I don't think you have to get hung up on what load works best with the cooper. Just troll around for what 6.5 loads are working for lots of folks and develop a load based on it. A load I picked up somewhere had the following: lapua brass, fed 210m primer, 4831sc at 53 grains, and a berger 140 vld hunting. At least that's what I wrote in my notebook. So drop 10% and start from there is the plan I'm goin with. I need to see how it compares to the berger book too.

Agreed... Not really, but seriously though get your kids to wear plugs any time they shoot. Hearing loss, much like an STD/VD is easy to avoid if you wear protection, and an awful thing to end up with. Thankfully I only have first hand experience with hearing loss.

That's another good scam speaking of phishing emails. They steal your relatives/friend/acquanitece email. Send you an email from their account of I got locked up/stranded/sick in A foreign country send money for me to this wire number. Generally sent to grandparents to bail out grand kids. That one really gets folks because they don't call to confirm and send the money for the emergency. Muleskinner go to ic3.gov and send the info on yours. Most likely it goes to an innocent naive middle person who thinks they are going to get their share of the millions so they keep forwarding all the funds from folks who get the email you have.

Kinda like the Nigeria scam Muleskinner. How did it get there? Who you know in Atlanta? You found me a new one for me :-). How come he opened it if it has your name? How was the English? Sentence structure? Spelling? Pretty obvious it's a scam unless you have a reason to have left 2-3 million there.

No more ear plugs for me, they will be a waste of time. A can works much better. Touché. The can will also help take the recoil down. I will however say with my lack of machine skills, ear plugs are far cheaper. The stamp alone would buy more plugs than I need the rest of my life.

The reason they say they won't investigate under 100k is because most the time it's a dead end. I followed the rabbit down the hole on a few I took and they end up in non-extraditable countries. The Canadian royal Mounties are very hardcore in pursuit of Internet crime and identification theft. If you all had a clue as to how many people fall for these scams and the Nigerian scams you would understand why the local PD and FBI really don't care. In the end the bank becomes the victim of most electronic fraud. They cover your loss for someone using you credit info, and try to stop payment to where it was used. Most time that is too late, so the bank is the only one out. They don't care about continuing prosecution since they have insurance to cover the loss. It's crazy to think how identities are traded in a ID stock market. They trade them like baseball cards. As well as credit information. Almost all your information unless you are really good is available online one way or another.

I forget I see this all the time, and ic3.gov is the place you report it to unless you fall for it then call the local PD. the key is to not be greedy, and think about things. I haven't seen a new scam in the last 6 years. So yeah this is really old news and people still fall for it. Casey is right. Only do person to person deals on CL. Strangely you say the old bucks are tryin to pass on info, but the young bucks seem to be on top of it :-) seems that most folks I know that fall for it are 40 plus. Now you may make me look through my cases to see who the youngest was. You don't go to jail for cashing the check either. You just have the money for the whole check taken back by the bank. If you already sent the money you get hosed out of the money you sent as well. My favorite was the lady cashing the checks that were returned and wiring the money so she could get her lotto winnings.

Go to IC3.gov and report it to them. They won't care either, but it beats posting in a hunting forum classified ad section about it.

I don't understand what the hang up is with needing ear plugs for a break. If you shoot anything you need ear plugs that simple. That is the dumbest excuse to write off a break. NO one should be shooting without hearing protection. I learned that the hard way. If you aren't shooting at running game, it's not too big a deal to take 3 seconds and put in some plugs. I know they are heavy and all that though... I think the caliber portion has been covered, but Ill add a nickle. It really depends on the kid as well as the gun. Seems a 243 kicks a lot more now than I remember as a kid. I know a 270 has more recoil than any other gun I shot, mainly because I have a whole one shot with the ruger boat oat stock. The lady hunter in 308 kicks real good compared to the SPS varmint I had. How about some managed recoil loads for practice then slip the full house load in on the hunt. They won't feel the extra bump during the adrenaline dump on the hunt.

Stop showing your communist market ideas by crapping in everyone's ads. This is America and we have a free market. Means you can offer things for whatever price you choose. I think you really need to be banned from posting in the classified ads permanently.

Thanks man, we politely and peacefully resolved the issue already. Gun is sold and all is well. All that is left is the eberlestock which I will feel I'm giving away for much less.

I am looking to sell my dragonfly, it's been on a total of 3 hunts over the last 4 years or so. I downsized to an X2 and it works best for me of the two. So you feel informed. It packed my buck two years ago. The fanny pack plastic clips broke so it has Alice clips now instead. Only issues with it. I'm willing to mail for half of the total shipping cost as in whatever UPS store says it costs, I pay half you pay half. I have a Paypal for payment as gift. Price now at $225.00

Alright bump for the pack.

Haha no worries.

I'd keep my glass and wait for a better deal. Especially if its an AK and mini 14. Things are calming down, ammo is starting to show back up, don't take a trade at inflated prices.

Looks like 30 per box for match 223. 40 per box for the TAP in 223 and 308. It's 30/box he just left off the $$$$ You oopsed me as well.

Haha well alright I feel better about myself now. I'd say glassing em and getting em is about as good as calling. I have never been able to kill one I glassed up.

Looks like the "help!" Post is obsolete....I done spent all that time answering on my phone too.

Go to PredatorMasters.com and read. DO NOT make a new post, READ the old ones, read the stickies at the top. There are hundreds of pages with the same answers over and over. Chances are your not setting up well. Make sure you can see down wind really well since most dogs are goin to circle that way. Not just come right to the call with wind at their back. Take a partner, seems I always do better at calling when I'm not the only eyes. Sit for 20 minutes minimum. Worst case scenario you hang out long enough a bobcat makes it in. Try mixing up the run vs stop time. Switch sounds in a set. Try to make it dynamic, create a scene with sound. Not saying these work better but it can and if nothing else breaks up listening to jackrabbit distress over and over so you don't shoot yourself. Find what works for your area and don't tell anyone else. That way it keeps working until you wear it out. Then experiment to find the next thing.

How much per pound? Id be interested in the 4831sc.

http://www.blm.gov/az/st/en/prog/mining/requirements.html Might help to know if its public land, private land, forest service or BLM. I may be reading it wrong, but I gather a mining claim on public land gives you mining rights as in you're the only one that can dig. Thats why they are mining claims and not land ownership. You have no right to keep folks of the surface. Refer to use and occupancy section in the link above. The paragraph before explains that very few AZ claims include surface rights. OP contact the nearest BLM office and see what they have to say. All claims are recorded with them. I know there is a lot of private land down there. Most the private land down there leaves no doubt about it. So my guess is its a public land claim and they only have rights to what comes out of the ground not what happens on top.

Agreed and well said.
