No but I have some friends that do and I've done a little with them from time to time. My Dad used to reload as well. It's something that I'm going to get into once I get my crap organized around the homestead. It's fun, somethin' you can do all year round. I can tell from folks who reload that it's much more rewarding to down a critter with something you call your "own brand" so to speak.

Well I know some guides are blood sucking sonsabitches but there's alot of good men out there who guide that share your values. If you do something you love and get paid for it at the same time, hell that's a natural bonus.

Reloading opens windows of opportunity,that Factory stuff can't begin to come close too. Easy to take a "regular" rifle to a whole new level of ability,with a simple ammo upgrade.
A guy has finite control and such things routinely bear much fruit.
I hear that, if you've got finite control it's best to max it out to the best of your abilities. I'm learning new things about my rifle every year it seems. I had some old Winchester shells that somebody tossed in a shell box, and I figgered I'd burn 'em up while I was sighting in my rifle before season. I'd never shot anything in it other than the CL loads, my Dad swears by them, and you grow up with the biases of your parents, some good, some ain't. So I'm shootin pretty well at 300 with the CL and I go and chamber the old Winchester rounds...hell I damn near flew off the whole target. Amazing how the slight variances of powder, bullet, casing, and even primer can become big ass problems at distance.

Does high load density compromise burn efficiency? Or is there a trade off where you may not get a relative high percentage of burned powder but the sheer density of powder makes up for any loss of energy?

Those issues are greatly seperate,from a Mandate stating a Guide as your ONLY option.
That is bullshit.
That situation sounds like a whole lotta horseshit. I'm more of self-guided type of dude myself. If I want to hunt alone on public land, then I should have that right. But on the other hand, if I want a guide to go along to pack my whiskey, then I should have that right as well. But CHOICE is the key, or Liberty, Free Will...whatever the hell you prefer.

I've heard a guide is not required for non-res if you're hunting with an Ak res......Any truth to that, Stick?

Ballistic Coefficient is a measure of how streamlined a bullet is that is how well it cuts through the air. It is the ratio of a bullet's sectional density to its coefficient form. Ballistic Coefficient is a measure of air drag. The higher the number the less drag, and the more efficiently the bullet cuts through the air. So for bullets flying through the air efficiently, the bigger the Ballistic Coefficient number the better.

Also the bigger Balistic Coefficient # the flatter it will shoot at long range. Powder choice and grains will highly affect how a pee shooter performs..

Personally I like 4831 I go by the book and start at the hottest load my lyman tells me and drop 1/2 grain every 3 and take er for a test shoot..Compressed loads shoot in some better then others so never think more powder is better..

The Sierra Match Kings are no hunting bullet, perhaps thats why they failed to kill.....you think??
Do yourself & your game a favor & try some 300 WSM factory loads made for deer.

SD (sectional density) is important because it has a huge effect on penetration. Other things being equal like impact velocity, bullet design and material the higher the SD number, the better the bullet's penetration.
I'm no expert but heres what I know about what I shoot a .243 (6mm) 100 grain has the same SC as a .277 (.270) 130 grain. Now most would ask "you would see them as equals for killin" answer is no. But they should inpart hold together and penetrate if they were of equal velocity and the bullet makeup was the same..

With that said I will take a 130grain flyin at 2950-3050 fps over a 100 grain flyin at 3100-3200 fps..Even though Velocity has a big part in energy the bigger, touch slower projectile will have more knockdown power. And windage will affect the 100 vs 130 more..But thats where people came be misconstrued elevation is huge as well and reloading makes a huge difference along with of course, barrel length and twist. If one decides a hotter load is better they could be making a huge mistake!

That is like compairing a 300wm vs .338 the balistics are better on the 300 most would argue this.

What are the seasons/bag limits on deer up there, and what's the reasoning behind the minibikes?

This can't be healthy. All this fishing is really messing with my head.

This Buck took (3) 175SMK's via my 1-10" 24" Hart barreled 300WSM at 3150fps launch and 350yds to the victim. Abysmal projectile performance.
Just curious....it appears as if two rounds landed near the hind quarter, any chances that predicated needing the third?

With all your talk of B-C, S-D, M-V & impact velocitys, you sound like a rifleman, so.... how can you be so clueless on your bullet choice??
From Sierra's website......
Match King – The trade name given to any of Sierra’s match-grade target bullets. All currently produced Match Kings are of hollow-point design, with all but one (.224 dia. 53 gr. Match King) having boat tails. Despite their hollow-point design, Match Kings are not intended to expand on impact, and should not be used for big-game hunting.
Re-read that last line a few times...
