    Just my general thoughts on this subject.

     

    My first thought is, yes I would like to help. But the legal liabilities make it very risky. As much as I would like to help, knowing the cost of ammo now, it would be great to help a fellow hunter out. Just not smart being the loader for someone else's gun.

     

    What I would be willing to do is.

     

    If they were new to reloading and didn't have equip, working on my equip and components, making known loads for my guns until we were both comfortable with their ability. Then working on ammo for their guns. Would be a long process.

     

    If a newbe bought equip and needed help setting up and starting I would gladly do it the same way as above just with their equip. Still a long process.

     

    If an experienced reloader needed to use my equip to load their own that would be fine.

     

    As much as I would like to help, I would not just load for someone else outside of family.

    I forgot to add, BATF has strict laws concerning reloading for any kind of profit. Not a road to go down.

    Thanks KRP

     

    As luck would have it I ran into a fellow hunter/ shooter out shooting this morning. He seems to really know his stuff, and has agreed to help me work up a load for both my 300wsm and 300 win mag.

    It is truely funny the way things work out.

    Thanks again for the input.

    that cat is still under 200 pounds . But Anyone would love to put a tag on it.

    5oo lbs???? NOPE!

    I have hunted lion in AZ for 22 years, and I doubt we ever killed any lion over 220 pounds. Very few ever found their way to a scale, but the couple exceptionally big ones that did were less than 200 pounds. A friend of mine killed a lion that measured 9 ft. 1 inch from note to tip of tail, but he did not weigh it.

    I am new to this sight, but so far I read about a guy who has a 30-06 that only drops 30 inches at 1000 yards, and now a 500 pound Mt. lion. It is definately entertaining!

    I know what you are saying, I don't think I would trust anyone to do it for me not to say they don't know what they are doing, but they are human and we make mistakes. with that being said I would like to get into reloading myself and I will at some point. you can buy a kit from RCBS that cost about 300ish and that cheap compared to buying the rounds complete like we do at 40 or more bucks a box.

    Thanks for the response. Yes, it would have to be the right person. I use to reload a ton in the mid 90's; before kids and wife. ( I lived with a good friend who had all the equipment) I reloaded 6mm, .223, 22-250, and 06. I was very meticulous about each step. Maybe your right, I should just buy the stuff myself.

    Good huntin

    Ok, Here is my strange request:

     

     

    I have 100 or so spent cases of both 300 wsm, and 300 win mag brass that I need to reload/ work up a reload. So here's the deal; I do not reload or own a reloader. I am looking for someone in the Phoenix/ Peoria area who has the equipment that might consider helping me out! I am NOT looking for a free service, just someone who knows the ins and outs of reloading, and has the equipment to do it. I am more than willing to pay for the reloading.

    Let me know if any of you are interested.

    Thanks in advance,

    I have a set of Aluminum wheels for a Polaris Ranger. They are the stock size (Fronts= 12X7 Backs=12x8) They are in great shape, and are made by Polaris. New they would be over $400 plust tax/ shipping and so on. I will take the first $250 for them. I would also consider trade/ partial trades for firearms, hunting equipment, archery equipment etc. Don't be shy about offers.

    I live in Peoria, and I will be in 36-c the day after Thanksgiving if someone in Tucson wanted them we could work something out. (602)620-9113 (cell phone is the best way to reach me, I don't always get a chance to check the computer)

    DD, believe me from personal experience... You are more than welcome to post it up, but keepin in mind several thousand people have access to what you have written. There are TONS of E-scouters here who come just for that.

     

    If you want to continue not seeing anyone in those places, send PM's. All of this is up to you...

    Thanks for the info guys! I did not really expect "hot spots" to hunt; just looking for a overall view into how things are looking down there this year, but thank you very much for the info.

    I am new to this sight, but I am sure it is full of very knowledgable hunter. ( Now that I am done kissing up) I am wondering if anyone has spent much time looking/ hunting in 36-c????? I have the Dec tag, and was currious as to how it is looking??? Number of deer, antler growth as compared to other years etc.

    Any info would be appriciated.

    Thanks.
