    magna porting

    Dennis, I'm with Lance. Why magnaport? Get the barrel threaded and then put on a break, if you don't like it put on another.

    15x56 binocs vs spotting scope?

    I agree with all the other posters. Both when you can afford, but good binocs on a tripod first.

    WTB Piece of Aspen Tree trunk

    Bill brings up a good point, everywhere I have seen that stuff it turns dark and the bark sheds off.

    4x4 coues

    4 scoreable points on each side and it's not a Muley, call it what you want. Everywhere else but here it's a 4X4 or if you are from the east coast it's an 8 pointer

    Hornady reloading manual

    They are all very conservative, they have to be to avoid litigation. If you look at reloading books from 40 years ago you will see a huge difference in max loads. Too many variations in chamber size, free bore, temperature etc. I am not afraid to exceed under certain conditions, but most of the time I find a sweet spot within the published load range. I quit wasting money on books and just start low and work up. There is plenty of legitimate published information on the internet to come up with a starting point.

    Does "shooter" need service?

    Yep, like DB said, I use a Kestrel weather station, that way you have accurate conditions where you are at and at that time. You can even get one that connects to your phone via Bluetooth and you don't even need to manually enter it

    Barrel Contour and Why

    I can't disagree with any of the previous posters. Here's why I shoot a heavy rifle with sendero contour. To shoot a rifle well at extreme ranges I need to practice a lot. In order to be comfortable shooting a lot the rifle needs to be comfortable to shoot. Heavy rifle combined with muzzle break are the 2 best ways to do this. If I were to build a rifle specifically for backpacking I would probably choose something in a non-magnum caliber shooting a smaller projectile such as a 6.5. and try to keep the rifle under 8 pounds.

    Draw conspiracy theories

    It is funny to speculate the un-randomness of these totally random drawings. I predict this thread will go for weeks....maybe even years

    Mountain Lion Calling

    I have decided to make an effort this year to eliminate some predators and have some fun doing it. My questions is have any of you had success calling in mountain lions and what sounds have you used. Also, tactics for lion would be appreciated. I have a Foxpro Shockwave and the standard sounds that come with it. Thanks.
  19. I have been waiting a year and a half since they introduced these to get my hands on some. Can't wait to send some of them down range. 308nut was nice enough to call me New Years Eve to let me know that Midway had some. Thanks

    Score....Thanks 308nut

    Sweet...I am shooting almost the same setup. Remington brass, 210..sometimes 215 GMM Primer, H1000 at 76 grains for the 208 Amax. I am getting just a few fps over 2900 at my elevation (5,000 feet) I just recently started playing with the 210 VLD's from Berger and my second group with that load was 5/8 inch at 300 yards. The Berger averaged about 2910 fps with 74 grains of H1000. I have no explanation why the Berger was running faster with 2 grains less powder and 2 grains more bullet, but I'm not complaining

    Score....Thanks 308nut

    I shoot a 300 Win Mag built from a left handed Remington action. Already a well proven rifle with 2 kills last year near 600 yards.

    Dead Cardinals

    I wouldn't bet against any of the teams playing next week. Dallas proved they could beat a very tough defense in Detroit and also beating Seattle this year if I remember correctly. I don't really have a horse in the race any more with the Cards out, but I do have a tough time rooting for our division rivals.
