I came up empty handed.

I haven't tried the ELD-X yet but when I did the load work up on my 7mm mag with the 162 amax I ended up 4grains over max and still didn't see any pressure signs with 7828. Its a factory chambered rem 700 but I originally stuck with staying under hornadys max load and I was seeing CRAZY spreads...

whew I know this is pretty old but check 2coolfishing. Its a fishing forum based out of texas. there is a hunting section and somebody there may could help ya out.

I'm not sure if Geraci is still doing work but he is in Independence. Don Geraci is his name. I have a rifle build by him but its been a few years since he built it and he is getting on up in age. He may have only done work for friends then even. I bought this rifle after it was built.

wow I forgot all about this thread! I'm heading up next week to give this stuff a try. I've got areas 12,13,14 and maybe 11? I don't recall right off hand what the 4th area is. I'm going to start by staying in Independence and work my way outward from there and travel where ever I need...

I will!

Im thinking the sat phone is more along the lines of what im looking for. I looked into the delorme but for the $400 it costs I can throw 600 with it and get a phone that will allow me to make calls.

How many of you guys use a sat phone on your journeys? I've got some future hunts planned and in my most recent trip to Northen Ontario, I got there and cell service was almost non existant. I don't care to be able to talk to people or anything but I would really like something there for...

I know the feeling. they built me a 6.5-06AI last year and the work looks great. I haven't done a load work up on it yet b/c I stay bowed up on my 14 days off so I can't say if it shoots or not. I hope to do a load work up a little closer to season and hunt with it. Its been too freaking hot to...

it never really has gotten back to normal here in Mississippi. 22LR is still as hard to find as hens teeth. I've seen some RL19,22 and 25, some h4350 and some of the others. Retumbo, IMR7828 and H1000 are non existent. Primers aren't really a problem. I did stock up on AR lowers and a...

thanks guys! I work in the gulf of mexico on an oil rig and right now we have a big blob of bad weather hovering over the heliport where we fly into and it isn't supposed to move until Thursday. IF that happens I will probably have to push my flight back a few days or may just try to push...

Yeah they pretty much lined me up with paperwork and suggestions. Unfortnately the outfitter is rather new to this business, they are personal and long time friends of mine, and so far their customers have all driven to avoid flying with a gun. They are great people and I've heard some...

I'm going to be heading up to Ontario Canada on the 20th of this month for a bear hunt. I've never done any traveling out of country to hunt and its been over 10 years since I have been out of country at all. I'm really nervous about going into the airport with my rifle, even though it...

so its greedy of me to be siting on around 40lbs of powder and close to 10,000 primers? Bullets are what I don't have a whole lot of. Now these are 4-6lbs of each powder, other than 50bmg I have 8lbs of that for my 338, and mostly different primers.

any pressure signs? I had to push mine to around 5grns over max recommended load(by hornady) of 7828 to get to any pressure on my 700 BDL. I settled @ 70.4grns @ 2925 w/ a 162 amax. I don't recall the max rec load right off hand but it was around 64-65grns and I was seeing 2500ish fps with...
