So first time loading subs for my Ruger Am GenII. The bullets are Lehigh 198 Controlled fracturing, using load data from Lehigh. Standard practice for loading subs is to start high and go down to alleviate stuck bullets in the bore. Using H110 and CFE Black, loading 4 rounds of each weight...
So I got drawn for my goat in Washington and not real set on what to do after the kill. I know, getting the cart ahead of the horse, but pretty confident that I can make it happen and trying to get my ducks in a row. Have seen a lot of full body mounts in people's threads, some real cool 3/4...

PSA, gets real hot in cars with the windows rolled up, even on a seemingly cool day.
Rebarreled a Rem 700 7mm Mag to 7 PRC. Having a bit of an issue with the first round out of the mag when 3 are in there after firing the round in the chamber. That first round wants to completely jump out of the magazine and turn sideways, essentially stove-piping. Doesn't do it with...
Just curious as to why I keep running into 2-3 guys all packing rifles in lock step going through the woods. This is not any place that would require a partner to call shots, usually in dark timber. Is it a fear of getting lost, unfamiliar country, need companionship or what? I learned years...
This buck showed up this morning, and late buck opens on Saturday. Haven't seen this buck around prior. He looked and acted healthy, but the growth looks to be the size of a volleyball and didn't appear that it was solid, more fluid filled. Wonder what caused it and how would one go about...
Wonder how frequently this happens, probably not to this extent very often.

So, I'm kind of Old School, but does this make sense. Seems like a lot of wasted taxpayers' money. Just over rule the...
Anyone have a favorite load for the 257 AI with the Barnes 100 TTSX? I have 100 Nosler +P cases freshly fire formed. Have plenty of the Barnes and lots of different powders, but was specifically looking to work something up with RL-16, 17 or 26, or AR-Comp. Thinking that I would like to hit...
Just to verify my pea-brained thoughts, but if there are no Random tags for a specific hunt, that means there is no chance of being drawn as a second choice for that hunt in the initial application. Am I correct?
So this is for all you Wyoming residents that have seen the past winter first hand. My partner and I stand with max deer points and 6 antelope points each,
so could get drawn for quality hunts in either. The question is, do we use our deer points now, knowing full well that the winter kill...
Does Wyoming have any restrictions on the use of game cameras during the hunting seasons? The reason is, I've been drawn for elk in 63/64 and have a wonderful location for a camera, but it would be in place during the archery early season if I were to put it out there. I would probably...
Headed out Friday for WY unit 63/64 hoping to help my buddy get a big bull and not donate too much of it to the resident griz. Pretty excited, especially after reading all the successful stories on Hunt Talk. Just hope I can get my lower back straightened out, blew it out on Labor Day. Got...
My wife and I went to the NRA Banquet last weekend and we happened to win a couple of rifles. She won a Henry Golden Boy with nice NRA engraving and I won a Weatherby Vanguard S2 300 WBY. I was kind of planning on building a 6.5 Creedmor mountain rifle, but now I have this 300 WBY. Already...
My buddy got drawn for elk in unit 64, I didn't, but will be accompanying him. I know that is a unit that has grizzlies, but what are the densities especially in upper drainages in the NF? I'll be packing a 44 mag with 300gr hardcast, and bearspray. Any info would be appreciated, thanks.
