well on we go and Brad yells bear and bails out of the truck, as I find a place to park and sure enough by the time Im walking back he's already coming out of the bush, I dropped him with one shot, the Nosler Trophy Grade 280 AI 140gr Accubonds pancake the bear, as we get up to it I see how fat...
Well my son Brad and I take off hunting for a few days and test out the new camper, with no real plans we sort of wing it, first few days in my fav Mule Deer spot has nothing but rain so we switch areas to look for Sheep and start seeing some Mule Deer right away,
A big three pt high up in the...
I agree with you and Guy as I mostly shoot factory ammo anyway and its really hard to improve on the accuracy of the 130gr AB but they were running at 2800fps so 100 feet slower than advertised velocity, I did find an accuracy node at 54.3grs of R26 @ 2895fps and the 130gr AB so Ill do a few 3...
Thank you, We just modified the factory Kimber Montana stock, best thing about using a Kimber Montana, only thing you need to add is a good barrel and you have everything else for a custom build, SS Controlled Round Feed action, Kevlar Carbon Fibre Stock and an excellent adjustable trigger...
thanks for the kind words
I tried a long string of 130 Accubonds in my 6.5-284 with Reloader 26 starting at 53.0grs and going up in .2gr increments, no pressure signs.
53.0-2797
53.2-2841
53.4-2821
53.6-2833
53.8-2859
54.0-2866
54.2-2895
54.4-2894 seemed to be fairly close, so ill start at 54.2...
A few months back at a gun show I was sharing a table with my gunsmith and and proudly displaying my new Kimber Montana 6.5CM that the gunsmith had gussied up for me and of course it wasn't for sale but somehow a smooth talking gentleman left with my rifle and scope....... :shock:
So I...
Thanks again for the kind words everyone,
I'm really impressed with the Zeiss V4 4-16x44, optically is amazing, very clear and bright, so far tracking has been spot on,
One thing to note as I have Leupold VX3i 4.5-14x40 30mm CDS, VX5 HD 3-15x44 CDS, VX6 HD 3-18x44 CDS, all have 25-27 MOA of...
My son Brad shooting the 6.5 PRC
We dragged a few rifles to the range the first day with the new 6.5 PRC build and I did the break in cleaning and Brad did the shooting, he hadn't been to the range in a few years but all in all he did really well, His favourite and best group of the day was...
I always wondered why Remington and Winchester never chambered their SAUM or WSM in 6.5mm, I find they really missed the boat on that front......so when George Gardener and Hornady introduced the 6.5PRC I was all over it and had to have one, all in all ballistics are very similar to my 6.5-284...
I was out early one morning this last week and tried out to 500 yards with a Remington 700 280AI 26" barrel, rifle was zero'd for 100 yards using Nosler Trophy Grade 140gr Accubonds, avg velocity 3100 FPS with Labradar.
My first two shots were 42.5" and 43.5" low and using the Nosler Bal app...
Not all Dr Mike it's all good, yes it was built by Gary Flach and not only does he do great work but he's fast,
I dropped a gun off to another gunsmith a few years back to have reblued......well it took 1.5 years and still wasn't done, after tracking the rifle down I dropped it off to Gary to...
Well after building a cpl custom rifles that shot really well my oldest Nephew was wanting a lighter rifle built in 280AI, so after gathering up some parts and a donor rifle I dropped everything off to a local Magician.....Gunsmith Gary Flach......poof about a week later out pops another 6lb...
Thank you, yeh I'm pretty happy with the rifle, not to mention how it shoots, now if I can find a Stone Sheep to try it on the season........it will be that much better.
I just wanted to give a thumbs up to Nosler and their Trophy Grade 140gr Accubond ammunition, so far it's top notch
I recently had a custom 280AI built on a Husqvarna H5000 action (sml ring Mauser) with a Benchmark barrel,Wildcat Stock and Timney Trigger put together by Gary Flach in...
