    USPS taking their sweet time, or.....

    The tracking just says “In Transit”. Can’t get any information from the two post offices in Fairbanks I’ve tried to contact. They won’t even answer the phone. I’d just walk in, but they’re over 200 air miles from here. Tried the 800 number, that’s just a maze of automated BS that leads nowhere...

    USPS taking their sweet time, or.....

    What’s the longest you’ve waited for a rifle you’ve mailed to reach its destination and had it actually show up? Sent mine to Moon 3 day priority on Jan 5, starting to get a little uneasy.

    Anybody have the latest Hornady Manuel?

    I was actually curious about the 178’s in the 30-06. Are they showing any of the new powders, or just the same old stuff? Just sent off a rifle to Moon yesterday. Either going to be using 185 vld’s or the 178 eld x in it for range shooting. Probably use the 168ttsx in it for hunting as I’ve been...

    Anybody have the latest Hornady Manuel?

    Okay, thanks. I’ll just go off of the older manual I have and the 225 data especially if they aren’t listing data for the ELD X. Out of curiosity, and before buying another manual, have they changed any of the data for the ELD X in the 30 caliber chambering or are they pretty much just following...

    Anybody have the latest Hornady Manuel?

    Picked up some .338 230gr ELD X for trying out in my 338WM. Of course they didn’t have a manual on the shelf or I would have grabbed one while I was in the big city. Now I’m back home in the Bush and will have to mail order one . Being that the temps are sitting in the -20’s and -30’s this week...

    Does anybody else use a rifle as a tool?

    I don’t keep safe queens. If I can’t justify it being here it goes down the road. No free lunch. They’re all tools, even the spendy ones. AR10 hiding in this one.

    Made a mail run the other day. Temps were sitting about -30 with a little breeze so I didn’t stop to take a lot of pictures. It was nice to see the sun for a few hours though. Don’t get much of that this time of year. We had a really warm freeze up so there still lots of holes in the river ice...

    I really hope it turns up. Because once they’ve lost it for good, all you’ll get is a GFY! When you try and file an insurance claim. ?

    Warhorse Development Bags

    They sound like a class act! Their website is a little awkward. They need a products section or something of that nature for special kids like me. I found stuff, but don’t know if I was missing other products simply because it wasn’t listed clearly or I didn’t stumble onto it. These are great...

    Tucker, when you get all caught up around your place, I’ve got a ton of grounds work to do here. I don’t want you getting bored. Just let me know when you’re ready for a new project. ?

    My 338 factory barrel is that way for what I need out of it. Even though I’m a full grain under max and at 22”, it still reaches out to right about 500 yards with sufficient velocity for proper/reliable bullet expansion. At that distance I’m still able to hold sub MOA reliably so I didn’t see...

    I’m having something similar put together right now. M70 Classic SS 30-06, Game Warden Stock, #4 Bartlien 1-10, CDI bottom metal, topped with either a NXS 2.5-10x32 mil/mil or a NXS F1 3.5-15x50 mil/mil.

    I must admit, when I worked in the logging woods, I much preferred my Cat equipment to my Deere stuff. The Cat equipment was really operator friendly by comparison. Both had good dealer support in my area so that wasn’t a concern.
