My grandson drew his first western tag for Unit 32 Nov 9-13. I plan on being his help and started looking at OnX to get the feel for the unit. I have driven through these areas but never scouted or really gotten off the main roads. When Ive drawn before it has been for Unit 30 and 36 and...

Glad you found that hunting and the planning of hunting can be fulfilling again. Great job of all the prep and taking a good Mulie. Hope you have many more years of hunting memories to come.

I have Criterion RemAge barrel in 280 AI and couldn't be happier. Got the barrel, barrel nut, go/no go gauges and trigger tech trigger from Northland Shooters Supply, the stock from Stockys and assymbled it myself. This was built off my original center-fire Remington 721and I am stocked that...

So far I have had no complaints in the build. The only problem has been finding Berger VLD hunting bullets in the DFW area.

My SD is 12 on this load at the moment but I have only about 50 roads down the tube. I will work on shooting positions and drops to a round count of 100 then run a group past my labradar again to see if the barrel has settled in and if I have to tweak powder or seating depth to improve...

As it is a hunting rifle I won't chase the mystical sub 1/2 moa gun. I plan on running out to 800, as that's the farthest range I have. Depending on enviromental conditions, my hunting distance is about 600 yards from solid field rests but we will soon see what this one will do at some...

I am finishing up on my hunting load for my 280 AI remage Mdl 721 with a Stocky Stock and aluminum bedding block with a trigger tech trigger. Nosler brass, 140 grn Berger hunting vld and 62.5 grn of H4831, CCI large rifle primer. My last range trip I was shooting 1" groups at 200 yards, I...

I was TBell's hunting partner that talked him into going on the hunt lastyear. One thing for sure TB is the real deal on 800 + shots. We had that mule deer skyline and had a good rest but neither of us could confirm what was beyond so called the shot off. After trying to get closer and @...

Its SpaceX new satellites it just released into orbit. I think it is a cluster of 60 satellites that will orbit the earth for internet access, they will eventually spread out into their finale positions.

I took my childhood Rem 721 that had been setting in a safe for over 15 years and with Northland Shooting help, I changes it into a 280 AI and gave the old girl a new life. If it will stop raining and the wind blowing on the weekends I hope to finish load development. The only thing that is...

Unit 30 first rifle season Mule deer for my buddy and I.

My RemAge was built on my first center fire rifle (Mdl 721, 270 Win) my Dad bought me 45 years ago. Since my Dad has passed, i got his rifle, which was a 270 Win as well, So I decided to change the barrel out on mine. Ordered a 280 AI Criterion RemAge with Barrel Nut, oversized recoil lug and...

I have a load for the 257 Weatherby and 100 grn Sierra Game Kings, but found them to be to inconsistent on how they would hold together at the Weatherby speeds. Mostly the problems I had was summer time hunting hogs in South Texas. I think the temperatures affected the pressures of the...

Since I changed over to Berger bullets several years ago,I have not lost an animal. Most animals drop at the shot and if not, have only gone a few yards. From all the post that I have seen on the internet, I believe that the shots that result in a lost animal are relativity few (My opinion, my...

Everything put together, just waiting on some silver action screws to replace the old blue steel ones. Trigger set at two pounds. Waiting on Graf and Sons to send me some Nosler Brass and 20 rounds of loaded ammo (I wanted a box to take for trips). I think I am going to get some polishing...
