    Well it finally happened......I destroyed a gun.

    Thanks for all the information CC! it’s really good of you to be so transparent, it will hopefully keep someone else (like me) from making similar mistakes. I think the only reason I haven’t done something like this yet is I only use RL22 for all my WBY loads. I could definitely see myself...

    Eastman’s hunting forum, and Rockslide on rare occasions. I guess also LinkedIn.

    Well it finally happened......I destroyed a gun.

    Was it Weatherby (Norma) brass? I have reloaded 300 wby Norma brass up to 3 times and with a lot hotter loads than you described, I am kind of concerned, as you appear to be much more meticulous than I am.

    Well it finally happened......I destroyed a gun.

    That had to scare the crap out of you, I am really glad that you didn’t get hurt! As you mentioned 3060 FPS from a 150grain 300wby, I would consider a very light load. Please keep us informed if you get to the bottom of what ever happened.

    Logistic information Region “M”

    If you have a UTV or 4 wheeler I would definitely take it with. All the dirt roads are trash if they get any significant moisture. The no wood road south of Tensleep is blacktop until Big Trails, south of big trails the road holds up okay with moisture but depends on just how much moisture they...

    College Visit

    We have had that discussion and I think they made pretty good choices but I always tell them that the degree only gets you in door, they have to work their butts off and separate themselves from the pack.

    College Visit

    I created a formula for my kids, I will pay 100% of tuition for a 4.0 and 50% for a 2.0. Anything less than 2.0 I pay 0%. Little jerks have been getting pretty good grades so I think they get the picture LOL. It’s been a little frustrating sending all that money to the University so that they...

    Time to buy points.

    Going to keep buying the kids points, my son has two more years of college and I thought he would be in-line for a decent tag after he graduates but with the 90/10 who knows. I am not sure what I am going to do after we cash in all of our current points.

    Barnes vortex 25-06,100 grain if you can find them is really good factory ammo.

    The Memes Thread!

    They are a total POS, luckily I still have several real gas cans from 30 years ago, they are like gold to me. My brother had one of these POS and tried to empty it into my truck in Wyoming several years ago total disaster and ended up breaking the safety flap. Now I can’t fill up my truck...

    Virgin Galactic's "Spaceflight".

    I agree in general with what you are saying. But, I don’t understand how certain companies seem to be exempt from antitrust and monopoly laws. I worked in a dying industry and every time a couple of companies would try to combine in order to stay alive the government would step in and screw up...

    Wyo Task Force - Nonres Comments!

    I agree with what you are saying, I totally understand the Wyoming residents wanting their peace of the pie. Especially since the number of tags available have been declining in virtually every species except elk. I just think it’s pretty crappy not to at least make an attempt to come up with...

    Which One Would You Shoot?

    Mule deer, I know I would have other opportunities for a white tail like that but for me that Mule deer would be the buck of my lifetime.

    Help me decide. Model 7 caliber change.

    I’ve been able to convince myself I had a use for almost every caliber out there.

    Governor's tags for antelope

    I think I could bid at $20K or so knowing I would not win but I am too cowardly to bid $100K!

    Wyo Task Force - Nonres Comments!

    If there ends up being overcrowding on certain general units the state can convert them to LQ units. Is there anything in the states statutes that says they have to maintain a specific number of general units? As interest increases from both residents and nonresidents, I am wondering if there...

    When are Wyoming tags mailed

    I haven’t kept up with Montana for quite some time, the $200 NR elk tag OTC, I assume that is a cow tag is that correct? My kids are getting older and I can start planning hunts for myself next year, your post has me intrigued. Are the NR OTC tags in Montana leftovers?
