    Brass Trimming

    I do have a case length guage and measure my brass probably every 8 to 10 reloads. The only time I do measure after every load is my .220 AI Swift. It hummms along at over 4,000 fps and I usually have to trim the brass after 4 or 5 loads.

    Brass Trimming

    Spot on. Another question is have the brass been run thru the sizer die? I usually trip after they have been sized because they can move some after sizing.

    Fall Colors-San Juan Mts. SW Colorado

    My wife and I went for a drive this morning to see the fall colors. They are at their peak right now in our local San Juan Mt.s about 25 miles from home (Colorado hunting unit 711). Sure are beautiful!

    Good luck and enjoy yourself. This being your first trip, treat it as a learning experience.....as you will make mistakes and learn a lot that will benefit later trips. Have fun.

    skunked in Colorado

    One other thing to remember..... Archery season has been on for several weeks and the elk have been pushed.

    skunked in Colorado

    Generally M/L and Archery are always warmer than the rifle seasons. The last couple of years, our monsoons have pretty much fizzled out which makes it warmer. No way of really predicting what the weather will be when you have to apply for the tags....just luck. You have to adjust your tactics to...

    skunked in Colorado

    Glad you had a great time. Here in SW Colorado, the weather has finally started to cool down. I live at 6800" and last night was our first night down to freezing temps.

    New Fire in Wyoming. Deer area 78 and elk area 110.

    Just talked to Wyoming G & F and all holders of deer tags for Unit 78 will be notified by letter & email (if you have an email on record) of your options due to the closures and damage from the Mullen fire, which is still ongoing.

    Portable shooting benches

    My 1999 had over 300,000 miles on it and we were planning a trip to Alaska and I wanted something newer with less miles on it. Bought a used 2014 F350 in 2016 and it had the tailgate ladder on it. Probably never by another truck unless something happens like a wreck or someone steals it!

    Range Finding Binos?

    I have a Sworovski range finder/bino combo. I've had it for about 10 years and it is great. The bino side is 10x and does have it's limitations. The RF part is out to 1600 yds and works great. The thing I like is that it was actually pretty cheap. It was on sale at Christmas time at Cabelas for...

    Portable shooting benches

    I have a 2' x 4' folding table that I use. I set it up in the bed of my truck and use a folding camping chair. I like this method because it gets you above ground level and brush and other things that could be obstructions. I gives you more shooting area possibilities.
