    777 questions

    I am going to switch from pyrodex RS to 777 loose powder in my remington 700ml. Is 777 harder to ignite? Should I use different primers? CCI magnum primers? I currently use 209 primers and I thought I read 777 is harder to ignite and one should use CCI 209 magnum primers. Anything else I need to...

    Substituting Pyrodex P for RS?

    In a pinch if I had to substitute pyrodex P (fffg) in place of pyrodex RS (ffg) and I reduced volume 15% is that ok? What are the expected ballistic results from a 50 cal inline muzzleloader? I am only asking if it is safe, what % reduction to use and what a guestimate is for ballistic changes.

    Can you tell how tough meat will be during butchering?

    I have had some tough meat - like orynx. Is there a way to tell if meat will be tough other then cooking & eating it? During butchering? Simply touching the meat? I think so but I never tried with wild game.

    Permit surrender question

    If I surrender my limited entry elk permit more then 30 days before the hunt starts I get my $1,000 NR tag fee back, minus a $25 fee correct? I would NOT be surrendering for military deployment, illness, injury or death. If yes all I submit is the Surrender statement/form right?

    Utah tag surrender

    From what I see I can surrender my tag, keep my points and get a refund. The only downside (besides the pain of giving up my first Utah tag in 23 years of applying) is I do not gain a point correct? Before anyone gets salty I drew WY sheep & cow bison. My Utah mid rifle South Slope Diamond mnt...

    NR elk tags calc

    Utah issues 10% of elk tags to NR's. How many tags does it take for NR to get 3 permits? 33 total tags? I have seen units with 32 total tags (for a specific hunt, not total tags) issue only 2 NR tags - I would think it would have been 3?
