My wife is a native Texan. I'm technically a Yankee but I come from mountain people so it gets complicated 🤣

Thanks again for the warm welcome!

Thanks! I'll reach out some time next week.

I hope my rifle like the TTSX 130gr. That's the bullet I'm hoping to load for. Otherwise I'm may look into the 124gr Hammer Hunter and/or Nosler partitions.

Thanks. I picked up a few powders in the last couple of days! Hazmat is brutal at 2lb limits :)

Midway and Brownells have IMR4350 in stock by the pound https://www.brownells.com/reloading/powder/rifle-powder/imr-4350-powder-prod45591.aspx

Thanks for the pointer! I picked up 2 pounds. Wish they had more powder available to maximize that hazmat fee tho 😂

Yeah I found the 130 TTSX online so I ordered some. I have plenty of time but I want to start getting components in hand. Plus, I like a project :)

Thanks, I'll be putting together a list of appropriate powders tonight so I know what to be looking for.

I'm not shooting beyond 400 yards. Probably keep it closer to 350 realistically.

I've get out a bit doing more tactical LARPing stuuf (lots of short range with an AR or pistol). Started reaching out a bit more recently that I have access to a 300 yard range. Not really "long range" but I'll take what I can get =)

Thanks for the information, this is pretty much what I expected to hear. I have some lighter bullets I can load up in the mean time. I just started looking around but seems like no one has the slower powders. For bullets I'll be looking at the 124gr hammer hunter as well. Just need to find some...

Thanks everyone for the warm greeting!

I'm new here. Planning a CO elk hunting trip next year. It will be my first elk trip. I was a long time deer hunter in the VA woods. Haven't hunted much the last few years (marriage and kids) but am getting back after it now. Hoping to learn as much as I can.
