Heading to the range tomorrow. Just need a quick load worked up for my son’s youth tag this weekend. I’ll get around to the Rattle can job and more load development when I can find some time.
95 LRX and H1000 is first up!
A few of us are working on scheduling a call in the next week. We had an email snafu last week that prevented our previous attempt. My fault.
There may be more to share after our first discussion.
The state gives 37,000 acres of surface and 160k acres of minerals to the tribes. These state acres are predominantly in non-oil producing reservations (standing rock, spirit lake, sisseton, turtle mountains).

I’ve spoken with several folks regarding starting...
Good question, and I’m not sure I know the answer. I want to say it’s statistically insignificant, but I can’t remember if I heard that somewhere or it’s just an assumption I’m making. I do feel confident it’s relatively minor.
