    Ram Meat

    That is very interesting. Especially considering what those suckers eat, basically rock skins and the occasional dead leaf. But that's as scientific as you can get, can't argue with that.

    Hammered Spring Bear

    Let us know how it goes. I keep forgetting to apply, it's the best time of year to be out. Love hearing about this kind of excitement, really happy for you. My neighbor's boy got a very similar one on his own over in CO a couple years ago. They literally have mounts and skulls stacked in their...

    Nicks 9’ 6” Coastal Bear

    What a cool outcome. That's sincere, but I wouldn't pay anything but compliments to someone who can handle that hunt and that recoil.

    Ram Meat

    Wild can certainly be different from domestic, but my sister and BIL raised meat goats one year and he decided he knew more than everyone else and waited much too long to castrate them. The meat was so disgusting that people cried when they tasted it. That's not an exaggeration, two family...

    Oh I understood, I’ve just been looking for someone local to split costs with or just pay a finders fee to, the few guys I know are not handloaders. It’s more about finding it than the cost for me, I’m low volume. But the app tip is fabulous, huge win, thanks.

    Sizing Mandrels vs FL sizing die with expander ball??

    That's what I figure. You can easily get it as or more precise than the mandrel increments. If i can read dozens of fired cases to the same .0005 increment with the ID prongs then it's accurate enough for this operation.

    95HHT Smashes Hog

    my buddy was an a-frame/partition guy his whole career and he was an instant convert when he helped me field dress my deer. It looked like this hog, borderline disgusting. he thought the petals/shank idea was cute until he saw it. His lungs won't let him hunt anymore but he's still insistent...

    You said you're in the SLC area right? I'm cursed by never catching things when I have time to look, I'd happily pay a reasonable markup and split shipping for f210/210m right now if you find yourself in the ordering mood again. I'm in Farmington. I was going to start reaching out to some of the...

    31 students makes Maine look metropolitan. I had about 130, there were some schools way under 100 but they tended to be a small city with the abutting towns, not a giant area.

    I want to try that for a low recoil round to teach my wife on but I settled for the 110. I don’t have the resources to compete for the required powders right now. I believe it though, I think the light avenue for the 6.5s is under acknowledged.

    Thanks! I’ve only passed through but I Spent two weeks in the Adirondacks and my brother in law is in Utica, beautiful state that nobody gives credit to. Pretty fitting to have a creedmoor fan in New York state I guess.

    Yeah there’s a couple regional accents here that remind me a little of New England, up north especially. Full of a different bread is a fun way to put it. I’d hate for people to get the idea I think it’s a religious thing, it’s l a geographic thing. My boss and some friends are LDS but from...

    Lol we just had this discussion at work yesterday, we make aftermarket parts and the boss started trying to get us to rank all the pickups in each class. They’re very nice trucks. Yeah it seems like there aren’t many here. I like to give the know it all bros a hard time but I guess it’s hard to...

    No I hadn’t said. I’m in Davis county, about 20 min north of the capital. I’ve hunted out in Vernal, I like it a lot. Reminds me a ton of Maine, makes me homesick. We might try to move to the other side of the basin, being in the suburbs is making us ill, suburban people are toxic. I didn’t...

    Thanks! I'm up to 3 rifles now so I'm learning a lot about a lot while I make notes, it's a lot of fun and I look forward to sharing. Is there a format that's most helpful for you? I make a lot of google spreadsheets just as an easy way to organize my thoughts. I'll take a look and monkey-see...

    I have a lot of it from factory loads in my 6.5 that I've re-prepped and refurbished. It shot fantastic from the box from my creed, but I could never get peak results from handloading and despite how tough it seemed I actually lost pockets faster than the Hornady brass doing the same thing with...

    Yeah March had been the target but we had stuff come up. Been to East tx a few times. High 80s in early March, and it was -30 when I got to my home airport. Wild stuff.

    As a Nissan owner I thought it was special and appropriate that Cummins broke from tradition and designed their first bad power plant in company history to put in the Titan. Meanest tease ever. But yeah I work on a fair number of cummins 2500s and I done even ever want a diesel but they’re...

    Interesting, so different from where I grew up. Strict one per year, low success rate, but an adult doe might dress 180. I personally saw a spike that hung at 205! My cousins boy shot one over 250. But you might go 5 years with nothing if your area was having a crummy time. And now in Utah...
