My old loads would not chamber in the new Ruger, it has a tighter chamber. I pulled all the bullets, full length sized the brass (so it would chamber in the Ruger) and used the same powder charge. I have the brass I shot today and I'll just neck size it when I load it again.

Another 100 yard target.

Just got back from the range and it looks like the loads for my old .300 Wby arn't going to make it. My Ruger #1 doesn't really shoot these loads as good as I want it to. Guess I'll pull the bullets and use the same powder & bullets and start some different weights of the powder. The target...

Sounds like they were trying to turn Wyoming into north Texas! :D

Wind has been nonstop for about 3 weeks. I usually am not bothered by allergies, but the pollen and dust have been raising hell with my nose, throat and eyes.

I'll let everyone know for sure. Looks like Friday might be a good day. My son got in today and he has a new rifle he wants to shoot too.

It's pretty dry down here, but the wind starts between 9 & 10 almost every day. I need to sight in at 50 years then got to 200 yards to get the new turret from Leupold zero'd in.

Been trying to get to the range for 2 weeks and all it does is wind....wind....wind. Looks like that for the next week too. Need to sightin in my new .300 Wby Ruger No 1 after I got the scope back from Leupold. for a checkup.

There were some primers at our club's gun show 2 weeks ago, pricey too. I did score on 2 thousand small pistol primers, traded for 2 thousand large pistol primers I had that I didn't need anymore. There seemed to be a lot of powder, but not too many bullets.

If you reload, you can work up some lighter loads with less recoil for her.

My son owns his own trucking business and text me today he picked up 88 MILLION primers from Speer/CCI in Lewiston, Id, going to Minnesota. He picks up there usually twice a month. I told him to save me a million or so....LOL! They are making primers, we just arn't high on the priority list.

I am an Endowment Life Member of the NRA (have been for over 60 years). I believe they are the only ones with enough clout to really influence elected officials......but I do believe that they have gotten off message. I donate to their non political, nonprofit programs for education, assisting...

Cancelling a hunt because you won't get a Covid shot....seems like a no brainer to me. Just sayin................

Welcome. How about a little more information about you.

I was lucky, when I was working I got 4 weeks paid vacation per year and some comp time because I didn't get much compensation for overtime.

I agree for sure. I have been retired 23 years and am 80 years old now. I have hunted almost all my life. Bagged my first deer when I was 12. I was born and raised in California and my wife and I knew we were leaving when I retired. We spent 20 years looking in the western states for our...

Must be clean livin!!!!

If you are willing to hunt more to fill the freezer than bring home horns, then you can actually hunt almost every year. I do apply for does when I know it will be almost impossible to draw the buck or bull tag I want. I also am satisfied with different species. I will settle for a doe antelope...

Great bull. How did your deer hunt in Utah go?

I have been thinking about it too. I AM 80 and notice that I am not as flexible as I'd like to be. I do lots of stretching and walking. I do have some back issues that will probably need surgery. Guess I'll do a little research and see if it fits for me.
