    New 30-06. Thinking about trying copper.

    I'd look at the Barnes LRX as well.

    New 30-06. Thinking about trying copper.

    I've been using the 168 gr TTSX with good results. According to their factory load data it is going plenty fast at 400 yards still.

    Call your Senators! CPW Commission Confirmation Vote - Delayed Again! Now Tues, 12 Mar!

    Absolutely! Send those letters! It's not like we can send too many! Even though I suspect my senator is a non-starter when it comes to anything related to pro-hunting, pro-firearm or proper management of wildlife but I still send him emails (not that I ever get a response either)!

    Healthy bread; What is there?

    I use a Mockmill 200 and buy 50 lb bags of hard red winter wheat from a local bulk supplier. Nothing but flour, water and salt in my weekly bread. I feed my leaven in the morning, mix my pre-ferment in the evening and then mix up my final dough in the morning and have fresh bread after lunch...

    Healthy bread; What is there?

    Just make your own. Buy stone ground whole wheat and a bag of instant yeast. Might take a few tries to get it where you want but you'll never go back to store bought. You don't need a mixer or anything fancy. Once you get the hang of it make your own sourdough leaven and then you don't even...

    Barnes lrx question

    I shoot the 168 TTSX out of my 30-06. No complaints.

    Axle to Axle Advantages?

    I've owned both. I am more accurate with my shorter bow than I was with the longer. I have a short draw length and I think that makes a difference.

    10+ Years of Use, What Worked

    I forgot to mention my Outdoor Research gaiters. Solid! I don't really know how old they are ....15 years, maybe 20. My Ramer backcountry skis and poles. Probably never wear out.

    10+ Years of Use, What Worked

    Still using my Gregory pack that I bought used in college.... let's just say that makes it well over 10 years old. I'm ready to replace it but it just won't wear out Patagonia McMurdo down jacket. Not sure how much over 10 years it is but I'll buy another when it comes time. One of the best...

    CO BGSS 2024

    I received the email this morning as well. I was expecting a survey designed to lead the answers in a specific direction because that is what I've seen them do in the past sometimes. I was glad to see it was a preference for each type of survey so I have hopes the results will be statistically...

    Cue the Bambification of CO's wolves...

    Sigh. So many things wrong with this.

    Processing Time - Start to Finish?

    Last two Mule Deer I did my son and I finished in about 4-5 hours each....not including the field dressing part.

    6.5 CM Question

    I use Barnes TTSX in 120 gr for my son's rifle. It has worked very well for mule deer but I would not hesitate to use it on pronghorn. The mule deer he shot this fall was 120 yards broadside and was a double lung full passthrough.

    Greece

    I was there last June. We spent almost the entire trip in the Peloponnese and had a fantastic time. We will go back for sure. We stayed in one Air BnB and took day trips all around. Took random drives through small towns and tried out small restaurants and were met with only cheerful...

    Help with over pressure but no change to load

    Yep. All cases were trimmed as part of each re-loading.

    Help with over pressure but no change to load

    That makes a ton of sense. Once fired is not the same as twice or thrice fired brass. I hadn't thought of that.

    Help with over pressure but no change to load

    Ack. My mistake. It is Winchester and Hornady. Don't know where I pulled Nosler out of. That's what I get for off the cuff typing!

    Help with over pressure but no change to load

    Thanks. Couple of clarifications. - Prior to this we were shooting both the Hornady and Winchester brass with no over pressure. - The batch of powder was the same. - Ambient temperature was higher when we had no problems. - This was the third reloading and over pressure started with the...

    Help with over pressure but no change to load

    I'm trying to understand over pressure signs for a load that I didn't change. I'm loading 120 gr Barnes TTSX bullets for 6.5 CM over 43.5 gr of Accurate 2700. The rifle is a Savage 110 Hunter. I worked up to the load last year for my son to deer hunt with and all seemed just fine. Regular bolt...
