Thanks, Bruce. After speaking with a few others as well, turns out I was confused last year. :) Even though I am in Wasatch I decided to go with the bull tag this year. A buddy of mine said there are sometimes leftover cow tags for 9-mile. Would you happen to know if it is the spike only or...

Last year I purchased the bull general season tag and hunted near home (wasatch... came up empty freezer-wise) for spike. From how I understood it, the permit allowed one to hunt for bull on the bull-only sections of the state and spike on the spike-only sections. This year there are two...

Apologies ahead of time for the thread necromancy. :) Second year elk hunting (4th year living in Utah/Heber Valley) and just learned that cow permits for 9-mile usually are leftover from the regular draw period. Did a google search and up popped this thread. This morning is chilly and wet...

I have a Forster Ultra Micrometer Seater Die in my setup I am putting together for soonish reloading of 168 Bergers. Is this something that I should be concerned about? Or is it just the comp dies? (sorry for the somewhat thread necromancy)

Well, put the order in with the mini extractor. The wait is fine. I'll hold onto the donor barreled action (30-06) and get some range time with it in the meanwhile. 11 months for the barrel to be completed (I am assuming they are pretty conservative with lead times) before I have to send them...

Sounds like a good option then, seeing as my SWFA SS scope (and the one I may upgrade to) has quite protruding knobs. Rem Mag. Will be range toy and LR elk stick. Krieger is doing the barrel/fitting and such. Jaw dropped at their 11 month lead time, but it is what it is.

Hi folks! I am putting in an order with PT&G for a bolt I will be using in a 7mm Rem Mag build (Krieger barreling) using a donor Model 700 long action receiver. I have a few choices of extractor for PT&G to install. They tell me that many choose the M14 or M14 mini extractors but I am hoping...
