Hi guys, starting to work up loads in my daughter's 6.5 creed for her oryx hunt in february (just found out she's going). Currently working with 140 accubond and 143 eldx and rl 26. Using a hornady seating die, the die is deforming (crimping) the tips of the bullets on heavily compressed...
Anyone have any experience with these? Seen them on the shelves at sportsman's but not at the range or in the field. Seem to be similar to tikka in design and target audience. Not much info out there. The cherokee or attacama models are of interest to me. Anybody shot one?
Nice looking rig! How do you like the V4? Thats one of two scopes I was considering for my PRC, should be done in a couple weeks, may just go with a vx3i with cds and call it good for now.
Having one built right now, let you know how it goes. Been eyeing the gap cartridge for a while, I like that there is a factory option with the prc. I also have a creed and love it, Im thinking the prc will give me a little more azz for hunting applications...
Beretta makes a first rate rig. Browning golds can be found used for less money and are very soft shooting, partly due to weight, they are going to be a bit heavier than the beretta A400. The browning silver 20 gauge is a bit lighter than the gold but with the same action and features, has the...
Hi guys, recently became the owner of a cooper 338-06. Have a bunch of 180 accubonds and 210 partitions left from my 338 win mag days, also a good quantity of RL17. Hoping someone could run a quickload for me with 210 PTs and RL17, thinking the 210 will be the go to critter gitter in this rig...
I'm really liking the 240 weatherby these days for anything mule deer size and smaller, including barbary (aoudad) ewes. If I want bigger for rams or elk a 308 or 280 gets the nod. My favorite elk rig is a TC omega 50 cal, taken my last eight with it.
Great dog pic! Just finished up the season with my first hunting dog (GSP). Elk hunting certainly has it's virtues but I'm beginning to think true happiness is shooting pointed birds:)
Thanks for the review, I've been looking at one of those for a dedicated swamp gun, I love autos and over unders but have never been able to get friendly with a pump, sounds like a hard working rig
Got 2016 off to a good start! My 16 year old was contacted by game and fish for a population management hunt for persian ibex in the Florida mountains of southern New Mexico. We were pretty excited about the call, this is hands down the most difficult hunt new mexico has to offer, extremely...
I have the v2, been very happy with it. Have not noticed that it effects accuracy, my good loads shoot just as well with it on, it can change poi on some rifles. Suggest figuring out which shims to use for particular barrels before you get to the range, will save you some time and fooling around
I hear ya about the range guys, some of the younger dudes can be irritating for sure, need to hold a quick seminar for them and explain muzzle breaks...pretty nice facilities though if you need a bench or like to shoot some skeet. In their defense they do have to stay ahead of whatever...
