[QUOTE="ricka0, post: 62047, member: 3086"] [b]cover my muzzle with duck tape[/b] I've used scotch tape for the last 35 years - must confess I've never tested it at the range (I will now) - but I'm sure the air in front of the bullet rips it out and the bullet never touches it - duck tape sounds like a bad idea. [ QUOTE ] [b]saran wrap held in place with a rubber band. [/b] [/ QUOTE ] That sounds like a better idea than scotch tape. Put a little extra on the barrel and after you shoot, you can cover it again. GREAT TIP! My 43 LB 50 BMG was too heavy, so I got a 32 lb 50 BMG [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] I'll be hunting elk next year with my semi-custom 338 RUM (Savage/Kirby/Lilja) which will be feather weight - 18-20 lbs [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I lost 60 lbs in the last year and since i've been running I just can't sympothize with the under 10 lb croud [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] We almost always walk to fresh sign (need snow - usually not a problem in Mt) then split up. Great post VIC! I like to pack in the first day ( 10 - 15 miles off the road) and set up camp.
