    This one is next on my list…

    I have a S&W M&P 10mm that i really like so far. Not a ton of rounds through it but it has been flawless and i cant really speak of its accuracy because i'm a terrible pistol shot but i shoot it ok. I also picked up a S&W 5.7 but the jury is out on that one yet if i like it or not. It's fun to...

    This one is next on my list…

    How's kimber's quality been lately. I know i read for awhile before i bought my STI that they went downhill a little or maybe for the price there was better options. Lots of really nice looking 1911's out there now. Shot a friends Springfield prodigy that was decent too.

    Bunk Board Replacement

    I've always heard that the chemicals in green treated wood react with aluminum. Not sure if it has to be direct contact or if the carpet provides enough of a barrier. I never did get around to replacing mine yet as bad as that is but with kids and other life stuff going on it is a low priority.

    Vanguard 257 Weatherby Magnum

    The 100gr tsx shoots great pushed by a hefty dose of reloader 25 in my rifle. I'm going to have to switch to H1000 i think for my next batch due to availability issues of alliant powder. I'm not pushing them crazy hard because accuracy dropped off some at max load. I'm at around 3450 fps and can...

    Tree row rehabilitation?

    One thing I’ve been doing with the single trees and small rows I’ve been hand planting around the farm is putting a fabric square down and then an old tire on top. Helps keeping me from getting close to the tree with weed eaters and tillers and such and holds the fabric down nice. I will have to...

    Tree row rehabilitation?

    I don't water any of my tree rows, i don't have the time or the setup to do it. With that said, my junipers and cedars that the soil conservation planted look better after a couple of years than the ones i hand planted with no fabric do after a decade. Caraganas grow fast and seem to do well...

    African Exotics in Texas

    I struggle with what is considered a high fence hunt. Some of these extremely large ranches are probably more sporting than many of us who shoot a whitetail over a bait pile or over a cornfield. I am planning on going after oryx on ted turners ranch in new mexico next year. Not high fence but...

    Mid winter blues...

    I usually do a lot of reloading during the winter but this year has been slow for me. I'm cleaning out our old farm house that the mice got into the basement and bought a small JD1050 tractor for yard work that i'm trying to make into exactly what i want it to be. Put a Pat's quick hitch on the...

    Drew A New Mexico Oryx Tag

    Thanks everyone. The 175 lrx performed really well. It went through the heavy bone on the entrance and lighter shoulder on the exit. I had bought the Leica geovid pros but didn’t use the rangefinder much on this hunt as I let the guide do most of that. I did use them on my mule deer hunt in...

    Drew A New Mexico Oryx Tag

    Filled my oryx tag late on the second day of the hunt. My hunt got moved to Rhodes Canyon due to military operations on Stallion Range. The oryx have been getting pressured hard and this caused a back to back hunt at Rhodes Canyon. I hired an outfitter for this hunt and I’m glad I did. The guide...

    Price of land just keeps going

    I've used the outdoor heritage fund for a few different plantings and some of the other cost share programs as well. The replant, herbicide, and other maintenance costs add up to more than the original plantings. I originally started planting trees just sticking them in the ground without fabric...

    Price of land just keeps going

    The sweat equity and future vision is where people fail a lot I feel and you won't find land that pays for itself with rent or everyone would be buying it. I always struggled with the high down payment they wanted to purchase land as a kid out of college i didn't have the down payment or the...

    Hen of the Woods

    I barely trust myself picking morels so I just leave the rest alone. I can’t tell what most mushrooms are.

    ND PSC Denies Summit pipeline

    I know from my standpoint I never had an issue with pipelines and didn't have much of an issue with this pipeline other than the people pushing it through have seemed to go about it in the wrong ways by being pushy towards landowners and maybe not doing the best job of raising support for it or...

    300 Win Mag 180 gr

    I haven't had a chance to load them yet but i picked up some barnes 175 LRX for my win mag. Scheels had them in stock so it was an easy choice to try them. I also grabbed 8lbs of 4831sc for it.

    Reloading question

    I think it would average out to ten pounds of Reloader 13 but if you add the proper amount of 2400 or BE-86 to it you might be able to get it to average out to reloader 26.

    Drew A New Mexico Oryx Tag

    Scheels had the 175LRX on hand when I was there so I picked up a box to try. I built the rifle to be my "long range" rifle and I like the idea of supposedly lower impact velocity expansion in case I ever do need to make a long shot. Hoping I can find a load with H1000 or H4350 since I have them...
