Checked pix no; trimming yes; crimping no. Going to check into this more & may have a gunsmith check the chamber out in the rifle. Thanks... appreciate the feedback.
May have incorrectly used ther term "doughnut" in describing this. Am using factory 25-06 brass & am noticing some of the brass is bulging slightlly on the outside of the neck. Am not seeing any signs of higher pressure problems, & am not seeing alot of this. Have been going thru & discarding...
Have noticed I'm starting to get a slight bulge at the base of my case necks on reloaded 25-06 brass. Am using Nosler 100 Partition bullets, with 50.5 grains of H4350 powder. Am getting 3200 FPS with this load & have OACL set at 3.18". Pretty much staying with the reccomended formulas from...
Thanks... am truly humbled at this opportunity. At 67 years old I've heard your advice b4 about running out of health. Was beginning to wonder if I was going to age out prior to drawing. The good Lord provided this opportunity & I am truly a blessed man.
Thank you for your work with "Fresh...
After months of preperations, opening day finally arrived. Seemed like I was in a state of shock from the tag notification forwards. Didn't expect to draw this tag with <2% draw odds as a resident with 29 bonus points. Drew tag number 4 of 4 for the 2nd hunt in AZ Unit 45A, the Kofas.
Booked...
One of my own... Can honestly say I have never worked harder getting ready for & during a hunt than this one. Took this guy on day 6 around noon. Looked like we were going into extra innings with the guide, as I had a 6 day hunt booked.
Hunt update... been a busy fall, in a good way. Early Kaibab rifle deer hunt was certianly an adventure. We had 3"-4" of snow day after the opener, & Sunday wasn't your typical AZ early deer hunting weather. Wind blew all day 40-50 MPH.
Temps Monday morning dipped below 10 degrees, generator...
Smart move... Have increasd my steps from 3 to 5 miles a day over the last 10 weeks. Inclusive of this is 3 trips to gym a week for leg & core strenghtening. Took on a project this week & tweaked my back. Am having to stand down for the weekend while this levels out.
Thanks... hope you're right.
Archery hunted back in the early to mid 90's, when it was still over the counter. Have put in for either the early or late hunt rifle tag, first choice the last 30 years as a resident. My last rifle tag up there was in 89.
AS I siad before... It's a hard tag to...
Thanks... Understand to reluctance to compete for tags that are near impossible to draw. Had 4 BP going into this draw as a resident. Odds were at 20%, & this was my first choice. Feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to do this hunt again. Am spending a week in September, scouting...
Finally drew a Kaibab deer hunt in 12AW: been 30 years since my last rifle tag in this unit! These tags are not easy to draw, & I'm looking forward to the upcoming season. Putting together a hunt plan for the last week of October. Information has been hard to find.
A lot has changed in this...
Congrats on the sheep tag. Drew 45A, last tag on my 2nd choice. Am still getting over the shock... Took 29 points, didn't think I had a chance with draw odds of 2%. Also hired a guide for this once in a life time hunt.
