I was going to shoot 5 but after seeing that I decided to go for the 1000 yard target. My program miscalculated the drop. It called for 29.25 Minutes, I only needed 25.25. I had 2 hits which definitely made me happy.

I picked up my 300 Win Mag from the gunsmith on Monday. This is the one that was sticking cases in the chamber. I decided to have it re-barreled with a Lilja. I went 27" 4 groove 10 twist. Other stuff I had done; blue print action, Sako extractor, 8-40 Screws, bed recoil lug, & Cerakote. I had...

RL 17 and Ramshot Big Game work well with the lighter bullets.

Pistol and shotshells I don't worry about. Rifle I work up whenever I make a component change.

The Hornady I have weighs 265 grains and the Nosler I have weighs 211 grains. So basically the two ends of the spectrum. I have Black Hills from several lots and it is all over the place, mostly close to FC (~255 grains). With Hornady, begin with the start charge.

Maybe with the popularity of the 458 Socom it will come back.

130 Accubond works pretty well.

Took it out to the range today to do some barrel break in. They have tedious process but I managed to get through the first part. I got it dialed to 100 yards and it shoots pretty well for a start level load. Recoil with the suppressor on wasn't too bad, kinda like a 270. I really like the CTK...

The price is definitely steep, but I feel like they earn it with the quality. Work got in the way of my range session today but I have some 175 grain Custom Competitions loaded up with RL22 to try out.

I've got plenty of cool guns and very accurate guns. This is a seriously lightweight long range performer. Their website shows it being 6.3 pounds.

I was off to the big city this weekend and had a few hours by myself. I figured I better stop by the gunshops, not that I needed anything. Cabela's was a bust, a few interesting things but mainly overpriced for what it was. Scheels was much more intriguing. I was thinking about picking up a Sako...

I like mine too, wish I had waited until they came out with the threaded barrel but they are pretty fun. Very light and plenty accurate. The takedown system is pretty well designed.

I first handled one at LL Bean in Freeport 15 years ago. I really enjoyed the mechanical working of the BLR. They aren't all that popular around here, most people shoot long range and don't associate a lever gun with that. I happened to trade into one chambered in 7 Rem Mag a few years ago. It...

Midway got in a shipment about a month ago and I picked up a case. They were sold out the next morning.

I have about 10 or so. 223, 22-250, 6.5 Creedmoor, 7/08, etc, all are great shooters. I have a few MKII rifles also and no disappointments there. The Hawkeyes have better triggers.

I really like the 210 ABLR. I've been able to get 3000 FPS with RL23. I currently have a factory Remington barrel and it's shooting into .3" groups. I have a #7 contour Lilja ordered to replace it.

They are all judged against the 300 Winchester Magnum for a reason. ;) That's my suggestion.

I too suggest any of the 4350 speed powders. Ramshot Hunter is my favorite for 85-100 grain bullets in the 25/06.

Very nice lumber on that 1!

I used the 208 ELD Match on a Pronghorn this year. Heart shot at 466 yards. It broke three ribs on the way in, destroyed the heart and lungs, and broke three ribs on the way out. I also used it on a decent sized Mule deer, heart shot at 670 yards. That one hit a rib on the way in and destroyed...
