muledeerarea33?

Yep, been eatin jack rabbit since July. Just told the wife in November she was eatin rabbit hahaha. She wasn't mad cause she liked the dishes I was makin!! I'm lucky enough to be able to hunt small game from my back porch, big game if I wanted but I like watching them too much.

I've used Harry Lawson's a few times before, best work I've seen!! Prolbem is, they wait til they have enough rifles to make it worth while to mix a batch of bluing salts, if enough in Tucson or surrounding areas need a rifle done, maybe they'll be quicker? It took around 8 months last time, the results were exceptional though. If anyone has a quicker, better shop let me know, I need a few done as well.

Any of the wood pecker sounds, and a few rodent squeaks.

I have 14 points going into this next year, early 27,1,and maybe 3b and 10 for me. I know 27 and 1 really well, not sure how many points in order to get an early rifle tag in those units though?

Not all morenci kids don't smile, ask ole Waldo to show you his wrestling pictures from high school, I'm pretty sure he was smilin in a few of those lol. Not all morenci kids are the same. I'd be peein myself smilin if I killed one like that

Pm sent

That's a tall order your askin for, your asking alot but ill pm you and hopefully you'll have some luck.

Have you tried just shooting it and seeing where you at on paper? Could be an issue with the bore sighter.

Are your weaver bases # 46 and # 47? Some winchesters use different sized bases front and rear.

If a person is pulled over for whatever reason, by whatever agency and has weapons on the vehicle, which the person declares at the time if the stop. Does the officer have a legal right to run a serial # of said weapon? I was pulled over for going 40 in a 35 mph zone, my insurance/reg. is where I keep my pistol. I told the officer I have a pistol and asked if it was ok if I put it on the dash while I got the paper work. He was ok with it, so I did, found my info and he said he had to run the # for my gun. I tried to talk him out of it for a few minutes but finally gave in (its legal, nothing to hide) I understand they are doing their jobs and I support that but, is it legal to run a serial #? If it is great, if not great too. Just wondering. I'd rather not have any one know what I have. Follow up, what happens to the info when they run it? Is that gun tied to me? Is it only checked for being stolen/used in a crime? I'd like to hear any LEO oppinion

I'm loading for a 243 Winchester, have loaded a lot before but never was concerned with case weight. I range from 158-162 grains, the majority being 161 and 160. I know to load the weight class together but how much difference would it make putting them together or let's say, a 162 grain case with a 160? Enough to notice, without a lead sled?

They do have a lot of time off in morenci, usually they'll work a month worth of hour in about 2 and a half or 3 weeks. Hard work but alot if time off to hunt, gotta love it!

So I guess it comes down to Payin a ticket or protecting my rights, I would like to say my rights always come first but in the case at hand, I guess it comes down to how much time I have and if my paycheck is big enough to pay the ticket,

6Anut, So your saying if I don't comply to the check, they will seize my weapon and try to get a court order? And if I comply, my rights are violated but I'm going thru alot less hassle?

What are the some they can't? It wasn't a big prolbem, the Leo was a good guy as I was, I know they have a job to do and don't know me from Adam. Thanks for the answers.

I guess 5mph over is speeding, wont argue there. I had a shooting bench in the bed of my truck, NRA targets in plain sight and pry 5 ammo boxes of various calibers in plain sight. I'm 29, drive a stock Tacoma 4x4 and had just left work. Like I said, I can't argue withe going 40mph in a 35 mph zone but really? I won't say I was harassed by any means, my question was is it legal to check a serisl# regardless of what my original crime was. I didn't get a ticket by the way and the cop was very cool with me, this isn't an enforcement complaint at all, it's a legal question.

I didn't think it was legal. I was pulled over last year by highway patrol for "following too closely" same situation except that time I refused to give my weapon, a commanding officer was called to the scene and said I didn't have to turn over my gun for a check. I wasn't sure if every agency was the same?

I'm lucky I live where I can hunt from my back/front/side yards. I'll let you know if I get sick after eating this jack. I ate his brother 2 days ago.

I would imagine it depends on how big the "spikes" are? The tag is labeled cow elk or is it labeled antlerless? If it is labeled antlerless what's the g&f definition of an antler.

I've had this gun less than a month, left to me by an uncle who passed. I might use it for my mulie hunt just to honor his memory. If I do I'm loading partitions or vld's probably. Might stick with what I'm already using. I don't really have an intended purpose for this particular rifle other than making it shoot the best it can and having a good memory.

Also, at 42 grains I had a max velocity difference of 36 fps. What would you guys consider acceptable?

I'm not a bench rest competition guy, justly me shooting. I'm not worried about 1 hole groups but do love accuracy. I loaded this morning and just got done shooting, 42 grains imr4350 100 grain Sierra btsp. Weighed all components but used 2 brass of a different weight, 3 rounds touching at a hundred, the two with different case weights were off the rest of the group around 1/4 inch one left and one left low. Maybe I pulled those shots maybe its the weight difference? Like I've said before, I don't know? Lol that's the reason of the topic I started. And I'm certainly not gonna argue over a quarter inch, I just find it intriguing.

Lol I got curious one day and found some cci's to be quite a bit different in weight. Not sure if it matters? But I figure if I'm gonna load 40 or so rounds for practice before a hunt and use during a hunt I might as well spend a little extra time for perfection, never know if its a chance of a lifetime or not. As far as the solvent and brake clean goes, I get to do that part at work for free and takes no time at all for a slightly cleaner case. Again, not sure if it helps?

For case prep I always clean in media, clean the pockets and flash holes and then in a solvent tank, clean with brake cleaner, let dry, size and trim if they need trimming and then weigh them. I only do that whole process on hunting and target loads, not for pistol or bulk loading. I weigh every charge and every bullet and even primers although the federal match primers are usually right on. I try to be close in weight when it's all said and done, just wondering how much the case weight itself has to do with accuracy

I'm getting around 1/2 in at a hundred, 5 round groups, I haven't had a prolbem with 223 30-06 7mm or 223 wssm but all this Winchester 243 brass is different
