Our family has a few whitetail racks from Mexico that we would like to get shoulder mounts for in the future. If anyone could share contact info for a Texas Taxidermist that could help us out, it would surely be appreciated. Thanks - Paul

This will be our 1st time hunting in WY. I have 4 pref points and have three buddies that have no points. Applying as a group we will each have 1 preference point. We are applying for a general unit (Non Res). When I read the draw odds on WY Game & Fish website, it appears that we should be...

Thanks for the replies guy's! I went out and bought a set of small dies. I had no idea there was such a thing - I'm glad I asked.

I've been reloading for only a couple years for a couple bolt rifles that I have and haven't been crimping. I have a Browning Bar 30-06 that I would like to start making loads for. Do I need to start crimping since this is a semi auto? Anyone have experience with this? I don't like to crimp...

Three years ago I had a landowner call me regarding my ad in the newpaper - he offered me a tag only if I promised not to come near his land. I didn't purchase the tag - ironically, I knew the guy had a private ranch that bordered the BLM land that we hunted. The instigator in me wanted to buy...

I've had good luck on elk with the 120 grain Nosler Partitions.

Thanks guy's!

I bought a box of 180 grain nosler partition PP's online from Midway USA last week. I thought I was buying the regular Spitzer bullets and didn't notice the PP next to the order code. I've looked at Nosler's website looking for more information about what I bought. I see that the B/C for...

This will be my son's first year Elk hunting - he is 14. I'm planning on him using my Winch Model 70 30-06. All of his hunting experience has been with his .243. I personally use 180g Nosler Accubonds. He is kinda small and would like to start him out shooting 150g or 165g Accubonds. Anyone...

I also love the G5 Strikers! They are the best I've shot.

I have been very impressed with the Scoutgard - I've had the same batteries in there since Nov 2009.

Thanks for all of the info Frontier! I'll order the sample pack.

Thanks for sharing this! I haven't seen this site before.

I'm looking to buy a Winchester Model 62 .22 - If anyone has one for sale or has any ideas ideas of any other sites that they think I should post this - please let me know - I'll also post this in the classifieds. You can also e-mail me at [email protected] Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the answers!

Now that the N/R cow tags have increased in price, would it be reasonable to assume that the tags won't be as available as in the past? I'm pretty good at looking at the draw statistics on the DOW site but have never really been able to figure out if the DOW lets the public know in advance if...

I probably shot 50 or more thru my Accura last year. I used 90 gr of BH 209. I'm not the best but I got fairly decent groups with open sights. Please post your experience with them. I liked how easy they went down the barrel but was also concerned that they might have been too loose.

I've been really impressed with the QAD HD also - no problems and very quiet.

Thanks for all the help guy's! Happy to hear that I probably have the best powder already.

Would anyone be willing to share a powder/grain combination that is working for them in their 300 Wby Mag? I'm pretty set on using 180 grain Nosler partitions for my bullets. I already have some IMR 7828 that I use in my .257 Wby but I can't find any recommended load date using IMR 7828...

My 10 year old son has killed 2 whitetail does and my 13 year old son has killed a doe and a buck with their .243 shooting 100 grain Nosler partitions this year. All of the shots were between 75-100 yards, complete pass thru's. The buck ran 20 yards before dropping over and the does all went...

Thanks for the replies! I don't think I'm going to crimp my .243 anymore.

I'm a beginner! I'm reloading .243 Win's and after I figure this out a little more I would like to move on to other calibers. I'm having a hard time with crimping. Do I need to crimp? Every so often I crimp a case too much and ruin it. I was talking to a guy that reloads .223's and he...

I was in SW Colorado also. Was using BH 209 & Hoppes Nitro Solvent to clean the barrel. I'm sure this is a dumb question but here it goes - Is muzzlemitts a brand name? I need to get some - I kept wishing I had something for the end of my barrel - I tried to keep something over the the...

Hunted Colorado Elk last week. Rained, snowed and hailed every day. First time muzzy hunter. I felt that I should clean my gun since I kept getting soaked. I forgot to shoot a couple of caps off after cleaning the gun - wouldn't you know it - I had a 25 yard shot at a small bull - gun...

That's a great story - thanks for sharing! I can't wait to hunt with my boy's

How's the weather been in the South Western part of the state? Has it been dry? Wondering if the elk have been hitting the water pretty hard or if it has been wet.

Thanks for the feedback guy's! I don't think that I've had any sealing issues with the 460NE but I definately had a problem with the T/C Maxiballs - I had some that barely flew out of the gun. I'm assuming that the NE's must be a little bigger diameter than the Maxi's. I'm a little concerned...

I've been shooting No Excuse 460's with 100 grains of BH 209 with really good groups. I had been warned that the compression fit might be too loose but haven't had any problems - I'm now wondering about velocity - should I be satisfied with this load since it is shooting straight? When I look...

I've had a few ignition problems also but I would guess that my last twenty shots have fired right away. I have been really trying to seat the bullet with the ram rod with quite a bit of force, I then tap it a little bit to make sure it is down and as tight as possible. Since I started doing...

Thanks - Txhunter Someone was telling me that they couldn't be over an inch long but when I measure my power belts they are over an inch long also. So I've been confused why Power B's would be legal and not Hdy FPB's.

Are the FPB 350's legal in Colorado?

I have been getting a few hangfires using my new Accura, BH 209 and CCI 209M primers also. They don't happen very often but it is in the back of my mind every time I squeeze the trigger. I haven't tried any other primers yet. My best luck has been with the Hornady FPB. I think one of my hang...

Thanks for the video! I feel like an idiot now. I've gotta pick up a range rod now too.

One more question - They talk about the extended ram rod. I'm assuming in order to extend the ram rod - you have to tread on part of the breach plug tool? I've been looking this over and over trying to figure out how it extended. If that's the case - I'll have to remember to take it out in...

The UPS dude just dropped off the new Accura. I'm reading the owners manual - don't tell my wife. It say's not to use lead conical bullets over 400 grain - I wonder why. I have some 460 No Excuses that I want to try with Pyro RS - Anybody out there tried the No Excuse bullet with their CVA...

Thanks for the info guy's! I didn't realize that the Maxi's and No Excuses might not work so great with BH 209 - great to know. I'll pick up some PFB's. Another question - this is my first time using 209 primers - I bought some CCI 209M's to work with the BH 209 - If I start using Pryro RS...

After practicing and cleaning and cleaning my old T/C Black Diamond, I've made the plunge to retire my old gun and after reading all of the positive posts about the Accura have decided to order one. I'm hoping to chase Elk this year in Colorado. I ordered some No Excuses and also have some 370...
