Ran into a little snag with this year's AZ elk & antelope draw. Set my grandson up with an auto renewal youth resident license a couple of years back. He turned 18 this past year, & was given another youth hunting license for the upcoming year thru the renewal process. We were told that I...
Got caught in an early snow pulling a trailer from Coeur d'Alene to Butte on I-90 few years back. Never want to do that again. Use a Topper with a bed rug, & a Teton sleeping pad. Add a hitch haul for added exterior storage space & have done quite well over the past 5 years of in/out state...
Have had very good results with 58.0 grains of Mag Pro pushing a 101 grain Barnes LRX all copper bullet, at 3105 FPS.
No problems in finding this powder locally, avoiding hazardous shipping fees. Price for powder is also reasonable.
Tried closing the bolt on all cases B4 the bullet was seated. No problem in closing. Just after the seating did the problem arise & then only in 1 out of 3 rounds. Also am running a lighter load at 2800 FPS as the groupings were the tightest at 100 yards.
Appreciate the feedback... you're...

Going to jump in & respond here... Spendt better part of 30 years going back each fall & elk hunting with Dad b4 he passed a few years back. These programs made it fiscally possible for the many memories & times we were able to spend doing what he loved best. Hardly a lousy program from my...
Have shot hand loaded Nosler products the for the last 30 years, tried the E-Tips & had problems getting them to group. Decided to give the Barnes TTSX in 180 grains a try. This test load was shot at 100 yards prior to final sight in at 2716 FPS. Grouping began to spread to just under 1" as...
