I love the comfort that a campfire adds. Part of the experience. I guess thats why I can't ever seem to find deer.. I smell!

I no longer have a 7mm mag, so this stuff is gathering dust. This would be an inexpensive way for someone who shoots 7mm Rem to get into reloading.
RCBS RS3 reloading press
RCBS reloading dies 7mm rem. 3 die set (includes neck and full length sizer)
20 rounds of loaded ammo (160 Gr partition)
40 rounds of loaded ammo (139 Gr Hornady SP Moly coated)
10 peices on 1x fired Winchester brass
One load book, The Complete Reloading Manual for the 7mm Remington Mag.
This is all located in Tucson
$75 takes it all

I'm pretty new to muzzleloading and am enjoying learning the the different aspects this hobby/obsession. My current setup is a hand-me-down Knight Wolverine with a Leupold 2.5-8x36 atop. I have only been working with Barnes 285 gr expander MZs and 295 gr powerbelts. With 100 gr of pyrodex pellets, both give me about 1.5-3 inches at 100 yds, but the Barnes strike the target about 7 inches higher than the powerbelts. Haven't run them theough the chronograph yet, but I'm sure the barnes will be flying significantly faster.

How about 123 and 1/8" ?

I'll take it..... PM on the way

Wowee! She looks fast! Is that a 1.5 horse Briggs and Stratton?
If I can make monthly payments, I might be interested

I drew a 6a south early bull Elk ML hunt.... This will be my first ML hunt as well as my first bull elk hunt. I'm very excited!
-
No antelope, but I did draw my first bull tag, 6a South Muzzleloader. Last time I hunted elk (cow) was in '00. Since then I have only been applying for bull tags.
Good luck to all of you!
-
No problem.... I prolly don't need tha caffiene anyway.......
Any predictions as to when the results will be out?
I'm gonna say march 20 will be the day. (wild-assed guess)

Bastid! I spilled my Diet Mt. Dew all over the keyboard trying to hastily connect to AZGFD's website to find out my drawresults!!!
-
If you have a really big wad of cash burning holes in your pockets, take a look at David Miller's work. He's in Tucson.
-
I'll take it. PM incoming...

Scope runs three bills new........... Figure another $400-425 for the rifle. Very fair price IMHO.........
-
How much ya want for them?
-
I'm a big fan of 165 gr. nosler ballistic tips and reloader 22. My current load uses 78.5 gr. of it. 3250 FPS at the muzzle.

General Jav. in 37b and Turkey 23.......
Looks like I get to break in my new travel-trailer this spring!

I no longer have a use for this rifle. Winchester model 70 XTR Sporter Magnum in 7mm Rem. Post 64 (Push feed) action Factory synthetic stock. (I have long since given away the original wood) 24" barrel. Trigger jobbed to a very light 2 lbs or so. Leupold mounts. Some bluing wear on the muzzle and small scratches on the barrel near the end of the forearm of the stock. A few scratches on the triggerguard as well. I bought it used and have put 300 rounds through it since 1998. Shoots 139 grain hornadies and 140 gr. partitions around an inch if I do my part at the bench. Also included:RCBS die set, 100+ peices of brass (20 of the virgin). 40 handloads (67.5 gr. Re 22, 139 gr Hornady moly coated), 20 handloads (63.5 gr. Re 22, 160 gr partition). Would like to sell the whole lot for $400 shipped to your FFL ($375 FTF in or arounf the Tucson area). Also interested in trades for a bolt action in a non magnum cal (especially .6mm rem, 25-06, .308, 6.5x55, any of the 22 centerfires), leica 1200 rangefinder (scan or not), double action .357 or 44 mag, and probably some things I haven't listed. Let me know what you have. PM me with questions or picture requests.

Give More D first shot at it, but if he declines, I'll take it for $100.

A 150 gr. nosler BT is plenty of bullet for Coues' deer. No need for the extry expense in the partition load.
-
I have a buck 110 that I bought used aout 20 years ago. With that and my Knives of Alaska cub bear, I can dress and skin out a Coues' buck in under an hour. Once the carcass is back at camp, I've found that a commercial grade meat saw makes quick work of quartering and cutting chops.
-
When I shot 7mag, I always had good results with 140 gr Nosler Ballistic Tips. Lately, I've been messing around with 7mm STW and 120gr Ballistic Tips. Awesome groups, but I haven't hunted with them yet; so I can't tell you about their performance on deer or deer sized game.

That's funny, Bass!
Reminds me of when I worked in Yellowstone National Park. On our way to town, while still in the park, we'd occasionally stop our vehicle on the side of the road, get out and start pointing to the hills in the distance with our Binos and cameras in hand. Nothing would be there, just wanted to see how many tourists we could get to pull over!
Once we had seven vehicle pulled off on the side of the road!
Best scope under $350

I'd look for a used Leupold Vari-XIII 3.5-10X40 or VX-II 3-9X40. Great all-around scopes, and can be found fairly inexpensively if you're willing to go second-hand. If you must have a new scope, look at the weaver grand slams. Fantastic glass for the $. Again, 3-10x40 would be a good all-around pick.
