    2025 I finally drew whitehorse antelope tag

    That's great! Good luck on the speed goat! Awesome country and some really nice animals down there if you put the time in. We hunt Owyhee which is just north of that. It's one of my favorite places to be and hunt. Truly out in the middle of nowhere.

    7 PRC Loads

    I tried them in about 10 different rifles when they first came out and never got any of them to shoot consistently. I thought I was doing something wrong until I started reading all the reports of others about the accuracy inconsistencies. Great LR bullet though, if your rifle will shoot them!

    Browning BAR 22 LR

    I was talking to my dad a couple weeks ago and he said he was thinking about selling his BAR 22. I said for what?! He says I want a 10/22...I said ok, I'll buy the BAR from you then. This was the rifle I learned to shoot with at 4 years old. I can still remember seeing the mud fly along side the...

    H4831 and 117g SBTs shot very well from a bone stock Model 70. Few other loads in here with same rifle to give you some more ideas...

    What's it cost these days to rebarrel a rifle?

    Do it! He is a retired Machinist, and only a 30 minute drive away. He does good work.

    What's it cost these days to rebarrel a rifle?

    My smith charges $150 to thread/chamber/crown/ with a turn around time of 1, 2 days at max. With the price of a Bartlein/BRUX/Krieger, it runs around $600. Add $75 if you need the muzzle threaded for a brake/suppressor.

    6.5 CM 130gr bullet test, Part 5 - Conclusion

    The SST is a pretty good bullet for as cheap as they are. They typically hold up quite well in my testing. I'll probably go to the 7mm 154g SST in the wife's Kimber 7/08 after the 150g NBTs are gone.

    Deer reactions when hit.

    I always thought some speed helped, causing massive hydrastic shock. I try to keep my hunting loads around that 3K+ fps area. Just seems to kill better and faster than the slower rounds. I typically aim for high shoulders on big game so they drop on the spot. I don't like tracking things...

    Reloading Help 25-06

    Not often you hear of guys having issues with a 25/06. I've had several over the years and they were always very accurate and easy to tune with a wide range of cases, primers, bullets, and powder. Since the rifle is capable of shooting under MOA with factory ammo, this leads me to think it...

    What centerfire, rimfire, and or air rifle comps do you participate in or soon will?

    I do some local .22 PRS and centerfire. Also LR steel/MOA centerfire out to 1200 yards.

    New Athlon Doppler Chrono Unit $350

    I've had the Garmin almost a year now, but have only used it the last couple months. It's worked flawless on everything from my 22 cal springer airgun at 750fps, to standard velocity 22 LRs at 1000-1100fps, 22 and 9mm pistols, and a good variety of centerfire rifles. It hasn't dropped 1 shot for...

    7 PRC or 28N, I'm pulling my hair out! **UPDATED**

    I really like my 7-300 Win Mag shooting 180g ELDMs at a mild 3000fps with 72.5g H1000. Its a hammer and super accurate out to 1200. Good luck on the big bull Jake. I might have to tag along and help spot and pack out your 400" bull!

    Android Galaxy here. Won't work for me either when you click on attach files...But it does work if you click on the little picture box, next to the paper clip looking thing.

    Rifle scopes

    I've got a little bit of everything these days. Burris, Nikon, Vortex, Leupold, Nightforce, S&B. They all work for their intended purposes. I use to be strictly a Leupold guy, but over the years my eyes just haven't agreed with them.

    Completed transition from Alliant to Hodgdon...

    I made the transition to shoot Hodgdon in everything years ago. Have a good amount of Benchmark, H4350, H4831, H1000, and H110. Pretty much covers everything a guy could want or need right there. I did go to VV N540 for my 223 with 75-80s only because H4895/Varget was impossible to find for...

    .22 ammo..... need a thought or two

    I shoot SK standard, Rifle Match, long range, or CCI SV through a customized CZ457 w/Bartlein. They all average 1/2" at 50 and 1" at 100 for 5 shots. After 100 yards the clear winner is the long range and that's what I use for our local PRS matches. It'll make around 75% hits on a 20" gong at...

    R700 223 Wylde/80.5 Bergers/N540

    Thanks guys. Im fairly happy with it for now. The rifle was mainly built as a 1K trainer on steel. Saves barrel life and components on the 6 Creed and 7-300 Win Mag. But it will also see the occasional local PRS/MOA matches and I'll probably take it out some this winter and see how the 75g ELDMs...

    R700 223 Wylde/80.5 Bergers/N540

    Made it to the range this morning with the R700 223 Wylde, 28" Bartlein HV 8 twist. Loaded up 19 more rounds with the 80.5 Berger/24.5g N540 and did a 10 shot group at 100 and a 9 shot group at 300. By the time I got to 300, the last 4 or 5 shots the wind had picked up a bit and so did the...
