We have a folding mat at home made of memory foam and it is better than most beds. Only downside is that stuff is like a bag of bricks, it is heavy!

Freaky don't be discouraged you asked for help and got it figured out before anything bad happened. Get back at it and find your load you won't be the first or last to have this kind of issue. You will get there and with the right gun, good loading technique, and good shooting practice you can get to 1,000 yards and a year from now you won't care things got difficult. Calibrate both scales or buy a new one and double/triple check until you have confidence in your equipment. I hate to see people miss out on having fun and learning new skills because starting out got difficult.

Wow! That thing is a monster! Congratulations on an amazing buck!

I will tell you those swampfox waders are still probably the best I have ever owned. If they had the full size in camo I would grab a pair. I eventually tore a whole in the boot at the seem but I wore the snot out of 'em. The material never did leak or have any issues and they are light and very comfortable.

Shhhhhhhhhh! Quite! Let them go to the rim lakes. Oh yaaaaa.... What I meant is I really recommend is Rainbow Lake! There will be lots of nice childrens, fidos, and joggers, to hold your rod and help you catch fish!

I agree with Murf... not trying to be a know it all but I would check that scale and make sure it is calibrated. Only Hornady makes a 30cal 160gr and they use red tips. The green is the indicator for Nosler .308 (all weights) but Sierra had green tips but a much darker green for their Gamekings as well. The extruded powder could be from anyone unfortunately. It may not even be Vihtavouri and not any listed, not likely though. If I had to guess I am with the rest of the group and would try to duplicate with 4350 which is very common for 30cal. Also try and get it over a chrony and get the MV for your loads. You may not ever know the exact recipe, probably cant tell which primer is in there either, but you can easily duplicate the speed, cartridge OAL, and bullet seating depth and probably have near identical performance. How far out do you need it to reach and what are your expectations? I ask because a lighter bullet like those loads tends to indicate you are not chasing long range shots and tiny groups (not a criticism). If you need a 500 yard and in round I am betting any of the options Lance or Murf gave you could get you there. After that load up another 100 to 200 rounds and be good to go.

Nice fish!

Thanks! I will check it out.

Great info! I am going to have to give this a whirl.

Awesome boom stick! Which suppressor are you using. My Gemtech is rated for 30 cal but not magnums over 300win so I am curious. I want to build a 338 bad but I will probably go Edge or Lapua unfortunately it won't be this year.

If you can make the trip to Reservation Lake you will cut way down on the people and catch more fish. The reservation lakes in general have crowds that are a bit smaller or Big lake at least you can find a spot to avoid someone on top of you. Hiking the river is also a lot of fun and you can catch fish while you enjoy the scenery. Good luck!

I gotta try this with all the bowfishing lights on the boat but I am usually trying to shoot fish. When we chase fish at some lakes we get hundreds maybe thousands of minnows flying everywhere. A lot of times you can here the bass chasin the minnows at the edges of the light. I have heard a lot of good reports on the green submersible LED's for Crappie. Coues pursuit what is the bait of choice? drown some minnows, jigs, maybe its a secret. I could use advice from you experts Crappie fishing usually just frustrates the heck out of me.

excellent! Happy Birthday!

Icon 5000 (original), Eberlestock X2, Dragonfly, and Elk Hunter. For overnight backpacking it would be the Kuiu but I use the heck out of the Elk Hunter and lover that pack. I used the Dragonfly for at least 10 years and beat the tar out of it and it is finally starting to show. I just can't get away from the convenience of the scabbard. Half the time I have a tripod and stool in the scabbard but it is always in use.

If you are getting a rifle for a female look at the Tikka T3 Lite. I had my daughter shoulder everything she could over probably a half dozen trips to BP and Sportsman's. She did not like most of the youth or compacts for just the reason you stated. She consistently went back to the Tikka and the Winchester Featherweight. We bought the Tikka and it shoots fantastic and is easy for her to handle.

Great looking bear!

It is killing me I have not been out in a month! Hope to get back to Pleasant next week but travel for work is ruining all of my fun. Anyone know if Apache is good? I want to do an overnighter and do some bass fishing and heard the tilapia are a lot of fun, and good eating!

I want one as well! I will probably go with the 9mm only because I already have die for realoading and anther 9. I would like the 40 but it is probably easier to have duplicate rounds rather than another new one. The Glocks and even the XD's seem a little over priced and the reviews seem excellent on the M&P.

awesome!

I would go Savage or Rem no shortage of components or upgrades down the road.

Redman he is in terminal 3 is the only problem so he would have to get off the sky train and head outside. I am like you and at the airport on a regular basis and use the east parking which they have done a great job with but they have made terminal 3 kind of a pain to get to. NOW the tram goes to 4 and 3.... just not two...(you have to walk to 2 from 3). I just took the tram last week from the east economy to 3 for an Hawaii Airlines flight... Just noticed that earlier this week. good stuff!

Awesome dog! One of my dream dogs, wish I wasn't moving and had the room and time. Someone will be very lucky.

It is in the airport near the old terminal 1, maybe 10 minutes once you get on the shuttle at most and they come every 10-15 minutes. You can get on line and google airport parking if you are looking for off airport parking but I hate parking at those places to try and save $10-$20. When I get home I want to go right to my car and not call and wait for a shuttle to hopefully show up in 30 minutes.

Drop everyone and the baggage at the curb and let them get in line to check bags while you park. You have a few choices west economy, east economy, or you could go to the 44th St parking and take the light rail which goes right into terminal 4. The problem is you are in terminal 3 for Delta so you still have to go outside and take the airport shuttle. If it were me I would park in west economy and take the short shuttle to terminal 3. Get there early and spend the money to eat at one of the restaurants near the gate. You won't be starving on the flight and it will give everyone something to do instead of waiting at the gate. With kids check all the baggage you can because lugging it and finding a place in one of the bins is a lot of extra work. Buy a couple of bottles of water at the gate and take snacks and games to keep the kids entertained along with a blanket in case they get cold.
