Thats what I've been doing too. I've been doing a bunch of case prep work which I hate but I'm looking pretty good right now. I love and hate reloading.

I'll be home taking care of a sick kid for the next few days. I'm sure I'll get lots of loading done. The only cal I need to work on is .308. I've got the brass all preped, just need to dump some powder and seat some bullets.

Jamie,  do the A-max and Accubonds have the same POI?

No the A-max's are shooting 1" higher then the accubonds at 100 yards and their flatter shooting at long distance.
I shoot Accubonds for hunting, Oct.&Nov, A-max's the rest of the year.
I havent shot any critters with the A-max's, I just dont trust the thin jacket.

my bench looks similar also, actually identical with the 300 rum. Looks like we all have a lot of powder burning to do. My wsm has me in nearly a nervous breakdown at the moment though.

Looks like I'm only hunting WA this year. I'm probably going to be unemployed come the first of the year so I'm trying to be kind of tight with the money. There's still over the counter tags for sale in ID so if the work picture starts looking up, I might be able to go but it will be a last minute thing.

We've been goin for about 10 years, steadily gotten worse. I think last year was worse than the ehd outbreak 3-4 years ago. Used to be a fun place....

So that little bit of ammo will take you thru hunting season?   :chuckle: :chuckle:

You are as bad as I am my friend.  I sat down, loaded 150 rounds of .338 wm.  200 rounds for the .257 Ackley,  150 rounds for the 7mm-08, and another 150 rounds for my brothers 300 wsm.  Then I got this job, and hunting season is pretty much shot.  NOT that I am complaining mind you, I am happy to give up a year of full on hunting, to be working again.  Just a shame all that ammo has to wait for a few months to go bang at something, even if it is a coyote.
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.
