    We need a politics section so you don’t post this in Equipment Talk.

    What to do with cranes.

    While I haven’t tried a pressure cooker, a crockpot didn’t work on the drumsticks. I slow cook lots of tough cuts of meat, but the drumstick on a crane is unlike anything else I’ve ever tried. I’m not unwilling to make another attempt this year.

    Maven Vs Athlon binos

    I’m assuming the Athlons are not from Japan. Although all the cheap optics are catching up to the high end stuff, Mavens are some of the best Japanese optics you can get. PROBABLY made by the same company that makes NightForce. Maven, NightForce, Sightron, Vortex, none of those companies make...

    RL 23 HOT!!

    No change in recipe. Powder manufacturers cannot produce consistent results. They produce a batch of “Powder XYZ” and when they’re done they test it. Ammunition manufacturers have pressure testing equipment and they adjust the load based on the powder they get. Reloaders can’t do that, so we...

    Alliant has a very broad range of burn rate and energy density that they will accept.

    Poor quality Winchester brass.

    I have about 200pcs of once fired Winchester 6mm Rem and a couple hundred 7x57. Once fired probably sorts out the unusable cases as I haven’t seen any. Even so, Winchester brass is terribly non-uniform, even after doing quite a bit of work on it. The best bet is to spend the money for Lapua...

    Variable Power Scope Question

    Consider that HBR is limited to 6X and guys shoot 250’s(perfect score) fairly regularly I’d say that it doesn’t matter as much as some might think. Yes more power is advantageous, but the advantage is less than you might expect. If you draw crosshairs in the left side of the X(.125” diameter)...

    Wtb new Remington 7mm-08 brass

    I don’t have any 7-08 brass, but if you don’t mind me asking, why Remington?

    Crossing a unit to get to another?

    Make sure the gut pile is in the correct unit. Time stamped pictures that can be associated with the location of your gut pile are also helpful.

    School me up on buying a 4 to 6 ton excavator and mulching head

    I’ve only operated skid steers, and there are definitely some brands that I substantially disliked(Gehl comes to mind). I would suggest renting an excavator for a few projects, and trying a different brand each time you rent. You could potentially even rent closer to CO and avoid towing all that...

    Uff da! Spoilt meat.

    Plug the freezer into a multi-outlet power strip. Place the power strip where no one can bump it or otherwise disturb it. Plug a small extension cord into the power strip and plug a nightlight or other small light into the extension cord. Now every time you walk by, you have a visible reminder...

    Is it just me or are Schnees boots getting worse?

    Good info. The Pronghorns stink since they sent them to China. I’ve wanted to try the Elk Hunters, and Quarrys. I love my Super Rainforests, and Canadians although I haven’t put ny Canadians through much wear yet. From what I can tell, the Elk Hunters aren’t really a mountain boot. Anything...

    280 AI load

    By no means do you have to use a max load, and sometimes the advantage of a larger cartridge is that you have more room for tuning without sacrificing some minimum level of performance. That said, considering I’m shooting a 180gr VLD at 2950fps from my 280AI, 2980fps with a 140 seems like you’re...

    Need some load development opinions

    I don’t know what to tell you then.

    What would you do with these groups?

    The only answer in those groups is that something isn’t working. Identifying the what may or may not be easy.

    There’s no reason to believe that one of the three is any better than the other.

    Who’s returning a tag?

    The market determines what is in demand. CO imposes the cost of all of your points for a refund, or the point you would have received without a refund. For a low demand tag you might still draw next year, or 1-2 years later. For a very high demand tag it’s not uncommon that one point below max...
