Scott, Thanks for the reply. Sent you a PM.

magnumitis, Thanks for the reply.It looks like the top("prestigious") areas could still take years to draw-around 5% odds last yr with max points. Area 7 and 62 looked like some of the tops for having a good chance drawing but I really dont want to deal with private land if possible. If it...

I,m from montana and thinking of using points this year.I have heard good things about 62 as a good self guided unit for a nice bull. No horses, so it would be on foot. Any feedback before I use this possible once in a lifetime opportunity of the max points pool or other suggestions. I would...

Has anyone seen a new sendero in 7mm mag available anywhere. Any info appreciated.Thankyou

Thanks for the replies. The question was more around combining one of the many offered .45cal bullets that are sold by the 100 and adding a sabot rather than buying the muzzeloader specific bullet/sabot combo's which appear to cost 2-3 times as much. I am looking at a CVA accura .50cal for a...

I'm new to muzzelloading and was suprised at the cost of the ml bullet/sabot combinations.Do many of you purchase them seperately-for example the 45cal 225gr hornady fte combined with harvester yellow sabot. I have no experience yet but would appreciate advice from those who do.

Sorry, still need some clarification.Dave-when you say redding fl type s is this die stamped 300wsm?. 21-when you say 7mm/300wsm full length die is this die actually stamped 7mm wsm?

Thanks again for info, the 7mm link is agreat reference I have visited before but still does not go into much detail reguarding reloading process. I,m assuming he is using 7mm bushings in a 300wsm die(hornady). I would have to call hornady to confirm this works? Also,may be a stupid question but...

Thankyou for the response. Any recommendation on brand of fl die and what brand of necksizing only die are you using?

Could some of you with experience discuss your technique,die's, etc for necking down the 300wsm case and loading for this chambering. Thankyou.

My reason for the question is I am working up load for new 300wm(26" lilja , mauser action) .Worked up to max load (nosler data 200accubond) with R22 and H4831sc. Average vel(5 shot) with 72.5 R22 was 2836, for 4831 at 71.5 was 2808. as data said velocities should have been around 2960 and 2910...

Does increasing the capacity for powder inside the case by shooting fire formed cases and neck sizing only along with seating bullets farther out routinely require an increase in powder over the "book" value to achieve the same velocity. When loading this way I have noticed I need to go over...

Thanks for the thoughts and replies. I,ll give the rest of the story. Ranged deer at 504yrds, got set up, watched as deer fed quartering away until I had a better shot angle, then took the shot described. I couldn;t believe I had missed-checked many of the things mentioned then decided to...

Long range miss (0 wind). I couldn't see shot, hunting partner didn't spot shot. Shot felt good-what now? How do those of you who have a lot more field experience than me handle this situation? Buck has gone back to feeding.

Those who have purchased a vanguard with three shot group target attached, have you been able to reproduce the groups? Do you believe these targets are a true representation of the potential of a rifle?
