Awesome!

Good plan! Who needs California anyway...

Much longer than that probably the last 20 or more. I used to bring back single malt that was 15-20 yr and it was a steal at the duty free in most of Asia. The Japanese have some great whiskey's they have been making for a very long time but they are really expensive. Would prefer it stay American owned but Japan is probably the best alternative as they are crazy about the best processes and quality, and they dont care for China much. I prefer good old American small batch bourbon myself. dang ow I am thirsty!

I have 3 different models of Eberlestock, a big Kuiu, and a Cabelas frame pack. I cant get away from the scabbard on the Eberle packs it just works way to well. That being said you really need 2 packs, one for your normal runs and an ultralight pack for multi-day use. My hunting buddy is a Badlands guy and uses their big pack for all of his hunting far or near. There are a lot of good choices right now and you are timing it right to be on the lookout for a steal on a used pack. Right now my go to pack is the Team Elk pack which is extremely well thought out and has the scabbard. Great pack!

okay got my load book out. Same barrel as yours and and the funny thing was I lost velocity at max OAL, probably a pressure issue with the bullet touching the lands. I initially shot some test rounds with lower powder charges 0.10 off the lands and had +1.5" group from my notes. Max OAL using a Stoney Point gauge for me was 3.83 (at lands) and I ended up at 3.815 for the sweet spot. The 2910 you came up with is very close, could be distance to chrony, or change in temp. Throughout all my testing notes I had rounds as low as 2,793 (touching) and as high as 2969. At your chrony measuring 2,910 is probably not too far off from where I was with mine at about 12 feet away. When you make the adjustment at the muzzle you are probably in the 2,920 to 2,925 range for you ballistics calculations. Between that a different chrony, atmosphere, different gun etc being off 20-25 fps is a pretty small amount. Rifle: Stiller Predator 7mm RM Brux Barrel 26"

Yep fox

Start with the Feds. I actually loaded 20 rounds with the fed 210M's before I got more cci's. I didn't see any real difference.

Yes, I found the magnums aren't necessary. I read a lot on that subject and found quite a bit of feedback where others found better ES with std primers

More is better!

Azbow, I will look up the specs when I am back home this weekend. Magnum is supposed to be slightly more stable than H1000 which has always boasted about the best stability rating out there. Magnum claims were only 2% over 100 deg change in temp, I think I read that on long range hunting. The accubonds were seated out pretty close to the lands but not touching. Touching lost a noticeable amount of accuracy. Also, their claims have to b fairly close for the modeling in the Shooter app because I did not have to make any adjustments out to 550yds. I did not get to shot them at 1k yet, and on the bergers I had to tweak things a little at 700 to get the drop right out to 1k. I was using H1000 @ 69.5gr on the berger 168's.

Azbow, I shot the 168 Bergerac with h1000 the last couple of years and had them scooting around 3050fps. The accubond LR are only about 2950 w the ramshot. I know I can get a little more if I take the load up a half gr but have not tried. I am also sure the H1000 will push them 3050 just like the bergers. However it is shooting so well I made up 60 rounds as is and will shoot these for awhile. Oh the drop chart for the AB's is equal to the Berger even with the loss of 100fps. Just a little more efficient design.

I-19 is an international roadway, it ends at the Nogales port of entry so until it merges with I-10 the have to have signs in kilometers...pretty easy explanation right there...don't have to be an expert for that one! Ha Ha Ha Right... that answer... Actually that is wrong! I19 actually implies it is an interstate built and funded by U.S. taxpayers and yet the only one with metric signs. Next guess! They did that when the whole country was "supposed to" switch to the metric system. Americans didnt take to the ways of the rest of the world and now they can't and have no desire to switch it back. Yep! more weird AZ trivia...

Do you want a bag for packing or just for tent camping? Mummy, square, down, synthetic? Down is awesome for weight and comfort but takes more care. I agree REI is great and a couple of times a year they also have 20% off for members as well as the garage sell. My daughter uses and REI down bag we got for a great price and it is a great bag. Her sleeping bag is better than mine. My favorite brand is Big Agnes because, I cant stand sleeping in a mummy bag. Also the lining in the BA bag has that cotton feel. I dont like the slick finish on some of the bags that feels clammy. Also check Eddie Bauer they have some really nice square traditional shaped bags and good sales a couple of times a year.

Funny stuff! I have the exact same blue boat my dad gave me he had it from when he was a kid. I cant remember it may have been a Sears catalog item. It has always been very solid. good luck with the sale!

Awesome!

Why do the signs around Tucson ridiculously change to the metric system?

Fantastic looking animals! Great Job! Any info you can share about what it took to make the trip happen would be great.

Why does ear hair grow so fast?

looks all of 105 to me! keep an eye on that dude.

I almost ordered one but ran out of time. I will be placing an order soon. Yes they are some what specific to your conditions but you could easily make the change based on where you will hunt and which load you will be using.

I would love to see it when it is done!! Jeff I will post it when we get it completed. Supressor will take 6-8 months, both it and the barrel are on order.

Not the biggest die hard basketball fan but AZ college basketball should be a good story over the next 5-6 years. Yes, UofA will have the premiere program. However; ASU should be getting a new coach and putting some money into the arena. Grand Canyon could be a really great story as well. I think Colangelo knows a little about the sport from college on up. Oh yeah and somehow the Suns keep finding ways to win, gotta wonder what Hornacek will be able to do with the crazy number of draft picks the Suns have socked away . AZ should be a much better state for basketball all the way around going forward.

very cool! congrats!

My newest one is proving to be the best I have put together. New powder even though my go to is H1000. 4831 should work but this Ramshot ball powder makes things so much easier and speeds up the electronic scale. I bit behind my H1000 load for MV but when it started throwing bullets through the same hole I quit caring.
