Browning Xbolt 308 factory ammo
Hoss50 replied to CatfishKev's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
For 308 I like the 150-168gr class bullets. If you are shooting all copper go 130-150gr to help get a little more speed for the bullets to open up well. -
I use a nitrogen tank from the HVAC industry. Not quite as good as a power tank but it works and is cheap to fill. I don't use it to run air tools, I have battery impacts and tools. I usually bring it on trips when I have the trailer. I would look at an ARB compressor with small tank too. My buddy has one mounted under the passenger seat of his Tacoma and loves it.

I use Healy's in Tempe. They have been very good to work with. They have a silencer shop kiosk, so it is really easy after the initial setup in the kiosk. Initial setup tool about 30 min. After you are in the system it is easy, and you are also then able to use any shop who has a kiosk with ease.

I picked up a lb at Sportsman's awhile back. They seem to have it pretty regularly.

I just had another one approved last week from 4/14/23. 6 months basically. 1 more in jail still.

They are going to be sending all the 556 and 9mm over to Israel is my guess.

General Javelina for my group of 4 and 1 juniors only turkey tag.

Same here for my older son and a buddies son.

That one isn't marked except for 12 7/16" with the number 10 below it near the handle. My smaller pan is stamped Griswold.

Anyone have any advice for hunting fall turkey? I have hunted spring once, but never fall. I know they won't be gobbling to help locate, what tactics do you use to locate them normally?
-
Congratulations! That is awesome.

We had the hen breasts for dinner tonight. It was amazing. Tons of garlic, tons of butter, etc. Legitimately one of the best meals my wife has ever cooked and she is a pretty decent cook. We are going to do this again, but next time over pasta.

We caught up to a group of hens yesterday afternoon, and my older son got a decent Tom yesterday evening. First turkey for both of us. His Tom death flopped into a tank we shot it on and got wet. We cleaned up the fan when we got home and I think it will turn out well. My son's are posed with my hen by the rocks, and my younger son is with it on the tailgate.

I tried to upload pics this morning, but I didn't have enough service. We cleaned the fan up when we got home a little bit ago.

My 11yr old son harvested a nice tom turkey yesterday. This was his first turkey and first big game harvest. When he dumped it, it death flopped into the water tank we were sitting and got muddy. It wasn't pretty for pictures, but it was a nice bird. He was super excited and so was his little brother, and of course I was probably more excited then both of them for him!

Once it calms down it will be even better, but scheels is awesome. I have been waiting for them to build one for 20yrs.

I went this morning around 10am and picked up a brick of Fed 210. They had some Remington 9.5s too along with SRP and pistol primers.

Would you spend this much on a Benchmade knife?
Hoss50 replied to eddielasvegas's topic in The Campfire
I love my bugout from Benchmade, I carry it every day. I wouldn't pay $600 for a knife though. -
Anything I should know before buying a trager?
Hoss50 replied to Crazymonkey's topic in The Campfire
I didn't read thru all the comments, but, I have had a traeger for about 4 yrs now I think and love it. That said I would like a sear station and if/when I buy a new pellet grill it will likely be a Yoder since they are made in the USA. When it comes to pellets, DO NOT buy traeger pellets. They are not what they say, they are hardwood pellets flavored like apple and such. They were sued over it. Make sure you buy real hardwood pellets of the wood you want. I like some of Green Mountains pellets as well as the brand BBQ Island sells near me. -
What size is the vest, and does it have a bird pocket in the back?
-
They seem to be pretty similar. I have always had a fascination with the mauser metric calibers that seem to be so ahead of their time that people are still basically reinventing them with new names. One of my main hunting rifles is a 6.5x55 which is basically 6.5 creedmoor that everyone loves/loves to hate, except it was invented 120 years ago.
-
If you use the 243 use Nosler Partitions and keep the range below 250yrds.
-
It is similar. It shows slightly faster on the chart, but very close. I am going to try some RL23 in a 300 win mag that I have tried 7828 in. The 7828 shot great at slower speeds, but didn't stay accurate as I wanted when I started pushing it. Every gun is different though. 7828 also shoots lights out with my 300 weatherby at moderate pressures.
-
Rl23 is a good powder too. Hard to find and works in lots of things.

We will be in 23 in a few weeks. Hopefully we can catch up with a flock.
