  1. Thanks for the advise. Been a long week so I haven't been able to reply. My current factory Hornady loads measure .288. I figure I will use a .287 bushing to reload these. I intend to switch to Lapua brass which I head is a little thicker so I'll order a .288 bushing for these. Pushback is the bullet moving back in the casing when loaded as L Cazador described. i don't want to use a crimper die si achieving a good neck tension is desirable.

    I've had quite a few barrels from quite a few different manufacturers and to this day Lilja is one of my favorites. I've had 2 Lilja barrels and they were awesome. Surgical accuracy. Sometimes I wonder why I don't use them more often. Chasing the next latest and greatest all the time I guess...

    I was looming into them a while back but they were all sold out. Just checked again and most of then are back in stock! Was looking at the AR24 23" barrel to get a little more juice out of the round for long range shots. Anyone used this barrel in a build?


  3. I have seen elk shot high in the body cavity with both a rifle and bow through both lungs and they didn't produce a blood trail. The blood all seemed to fill the body cavity and never reached the entrance or exit hole. I respect your guys decision to only shoot one deer if he knew he hit it. Sucks losing something but we have all had it happen.


  4. I'm heading to Lake Powell next week for the first time in a very long time. Anyone have any fishing tips for this lake they would be willing to share? Heard the small mouth fishing has been really good lately. Thanks
