    Thanks, yeah I am willing to do some tinkering for a rifle that shoots.

    Got my Savage M25 17 Hornet (range report)

    I got my M25 yesterday in 17 Hornet. The rifle was made in September of this year. I was very happy with the rifles fit and finish. The medium contour (call it medium/heavy) barrel is nicely free floated and the stock is much better than the plastic stocks on the Axis. I own an Axis and this...

    Primer costs....very sad

    I found 800 small rifles for 60 bucks a couple weeks ago. I gladly paid it, I like shooting, hunting and loading my own ammo.

    Primer costs....very sad

    Pay it or don't. Someone who actually shoots may be happy to get 1,000 primers back in their possession for 100 bucks, the seller and and buyer are both happy. They are going for more than that out here.

    My Savage Axis 223 with Bluedot

    Nice. I have their pepper laminate on my 22-250, kinda heavy but I like it.

    25-06, 115 BT's questions

    Coming from someone who has burned up 25-06 components just for fun.......don't do it......especially right now. Every rifle is different but my 115's always shot the best right at 3.240, in both my rifles. I would certainly try to walk them out a little more. Watch those components though...

    My Savage Axis 223 with Bluedot

    Hahahah thanks. I put a Boyds fleur de lis checkered walnut stock on it. I tried for a few months to just say "I got a good deal on the rifle, just leave it alone" but it kinda bugged me. The Boyds stock exceeded my expectations and is fantastic looking. I got a little bit more wrapped up in...

    My Savage Axis 223 with Bluedot

    Oh very nice. Yeah I think a 40 with 12.0 in that 1:14 will be just fine.

    My Savage Axis 223 with Bluedot

    Yep you are on the right track and I am pretty sure I know what you are referencing, a guy named Seafires post. Good info. Reloading components are blown out right now, you have better odds getting Bluedot though than bullets so you got that in your favor. I was in the same boat as you, I...

    My Savage Axis 223 with Bluedot

    Bluedot powder does not really seem to be positional, it burns well in the large case. If it is than I haven't really noticed, both of my 223's will shoot less than an inch with 35 and 40grn bullets around 2600-2800fps. ES is 20-30fps out of my Ruger American ranch from last year. 2677, 2656...

    Ordered a M25 walking varminter

    I will do that. I have a friend who has one in 223 and he really likes it. I really liked the 22 hornet as well, but I kinda get the exact same ballistics with Bluedot and a 40grn Vmax in my 223's. It was hard to justify that one.

    Ordered a M25 walking varminter

    Well some 17 hornets came back in stock and I snagged a walking varminter. The CZ is nice and more than likely the superior rifle but at a couple hundred bucks more it just wasn't what I wanted in this rifle. My primary calling rifle is a Savage 10 in 22-250 with a Boyds laminate stock so I...

    My Savage Axis 223 with Bluedot

    Thanks. I just got a youth stock for it yesterday. It will be for my son.......and yes I love the 22 Hornet clones as well.

    25-06 to the Range

    A 115grn NBT with Retumbo pushing it out the door certainly will!

    25-06 to the Range

    Great pics, My CDL likes the 115grn as well. Both RL22 and H4831. I am probably gonna drop the kids off at school, grab my CDL and do a little calling myself this morning. I confirmed my loads last week for this season...... 80grn Barnes TTSX with 61.5 of H4831 (lead free CA).

    My Savage Axis 223 with Bluedot

    I did some experimenting last year with my Ruger American ranch and Bluedot and was pretty happy. 11.0 of Bluedot under a 35 grain nosler ballistic tip shot 2650fps and an inch at 100 yards. Today I took out my Axis and tried the same loads. They shot VERY well, they did half inch and I am...

    243 100 gr partition with H4895

    My Ruger M77 Varminter shoots ragged holes with 87 vmax and 37.0 of Varget. It also shoots pretty well with RL17 and 85 grain speer PSP. Give it a try, you may be surprised. H4350 should work well also.
