Thanks, I will call tomorrow.

This morning while sizing some brass, I tore (broke) a #14 rcbs shell holder. The upper ring tore away without a bunch of pressure on it. Have any of you had a problem like this? The shell holder was bought new this year.

I have a defiance in a 338LMAI and love it.

Re: What type of shelter do you use most often for backpack hunting during rifle seas It runs small for two people but great for one with gear. I was in mild rain for a week on a late September hunt and it keep me dry.

I would love to run two equal scopes one angled and one straight side by side for a whole week of hunting. That would be my true measure. It would be cool if someone had the resources to do it and do a write up on it. I would if someone would provide the glass.

I use a Big Anges Fly Creek 2 man. It is small for two but great for one and runs as light as most bivs. I also know guys who run just a tarp.

Just built a 338LMAI on a Defiance action, Mcmillian A3-5 Stock and Bartlein barrel palma contour topped with a NF NXS MOAR. The barrel has had so little fouling that when a friend took it to shoot I thought they had cleaned it before returning it. It is a fun rifle that shoots lights out.

If it has only happened once then it may have just been a bad piece of brass. If it keeps happening I would try running a different brass and checking the headspace. I ran into this issue with a Weatherby.

Took my kids to hunt goats this last year in Wyoming and we had a blast. I did learn I cant hunt at the say time as they do because they need more help then I had realized.

I went to one a little while back and unless the stock is custom built will have one on the rest. I was amazed at the difference and how it just felt more natural and comfortable.

Hey Mark, hope you enjoy yourself. Love to hear some long range hunting stories.

Re: What type of shelter do you use most often for backpack hunting during rifle seas I try to keep it light with a Big Agnes 2person fly creek. I know it is a risk running so light,so I try to use natural shelters and a small tarp as supplements. So far so good.

If you want one I would get on it or it will be next year.

I love nightforce products and own a few of them (npr1)(moar). I just don't see the reason to go with the velocity for the fact that loads and rifles change.

With the velocity 1000 are you stuck with only one load at one condition?
