    7mm-08 thoughts

    Handle much larger bullets? 140-150grain bullets shoot just fine out of a 7-08. All that extra powder gets you a couple hundred extra yards of effective range, but I’d hope if you’re looking past 7-08 range you’d choose something with a better BC than a partition.

    7mm-08 thoughts

    If what would be essentially a single shot auto loader is your idea of fun, then yes, I’m sure it would be. Belts are bad enough in bolt guns.

    Alaska draw results today

    Nothing for me this year.

    What now? After load work up on my hunting rifle-how often do you shoot it?

    I have two identical (aside from barrels) rifles. Actually have a variety of barrels that get swapped in and out. My primary hunter is in 280ai, which is also a carbon wrapped barrel that I’d rather not replace. That one doesn’t get shot much any more, aside from confirming zero and hunting. I...

    Suppressor wait time

    I’m a little over a year. Of course, I also moved to another state, so who knows when I’ll actually see the thing. ATF said at this point I’m better letting it finish going through, then deal with the change.

    WEATHER & TEMPS IN YOUR AREA???

    Warming up a bit the next few days, but it’s been mostly single digit highs for the last 3-4 weeks here. About 16” of settled snow. No longer Wyosam, now AKsam. Since my favorite time to hunt elk is late season snow and cold, it doesn’t seem like I missed much this year.

    I'm set. What a relief!

    If you think the shingles shot "isn't pleasant", you should try shingles.

    Massive Wild horse roundup set to begin.

    The fact that we waste so much money on these things drives me nuts. If people want to adopt them- great, go catch one. Take all you want. There could be some private services that help with that. The rest? Hunt them. Let people shoot them then spend the next few weeks hunting coyotes off the...

    A question to my Wyoming neighbors.

    She is a conservative with the voting record to prove it. Not giving Trump a free pass does not make her a democrat.

    A question to my Wyoming neighbors.

    Not likely, she sunk her career by showing a small amount of integrity.

    Gotta love Yellowstone

    Yep, we seem to have an even bigger “stupid” epidemic than normal around here. Almost hit one of those fools with the giant lens on Togwotee on my way home from work yesterday when he stepped backwards into traffic without looking. Those clowns will sit and harass the same grizzly from daylight...

    Vaccine Side Effects

    It is pretty regional- the areas that had the required specialty storage available with the initial roll out tend to be Pfizer heavy. We were one of only two places in Wyoming that had the ability to store Pfizer, and as a result that has been the predominant vaccine in the area. Now there was...

    Cold bore Flyers

    Same. Sadly, I’m pretty sure my most concentric and consistent loads are with cheap Lee dies, on brass that gets the least prep, with thrown charges that I rarely weigh.

    .223 reloads

    I always liked Benchmark with lighter bullets (53gr Vmax was my preferred). Now it’s wearing a 7 twist 223ai barrel, and likes Varget and 80VLDs. When I burn the throat back a ways, I’ll clean it up with a throating reamer and go to the heavies. Those 80’s at 2925 are great cheap steel plinkers...

    What do they want?

    15 minutes of fame. Don’t give it to them. No name on media, no interviews of family. Don’t publicize the trial. Lock them in a dark corner of a prison. Let them rot for a while, then quietly execute without fanfare.
