Guy I remember we were all jealous that you had a 1911 issued. Couldn’t complain about our Sig P226’s, as they were excellent guns. But mine only made it to the day I got off probation when a Colt Commander found its way on my hip. A little work done by Rick Neimer, formally of Detonics...
That is definitely a more realistic approach to shooting positions. My buddy has enough room on his property to set steel plates out to 800 yards. Half the fun is just trying the different yardages from various shooting positions.
I love it when a rifle shoots well with a peep sight. It’s been awhile since I’ve shot it but my Model 71 in .348 will hold about 1 1/4 inches at 100 off the bench with a peep.
Took that load out and sighted in at 200 yards. Ballistic calculator said to give it 10 clicks on the CDS dial at 300 yards. The results speak For themselves…
Nice job! When I hear “multi-season tag” I assume you also live in Wa state? Hope you do well on elk. I may have to sit out the early season this year due to work:(
Last year I picked up a compact Tikka .308. Norma was having a sale on its .308 ammo and ended up being basically the same price for loaded ammo vs new brass, so I bought 200 rounds. Figured if the rifle shot well enough with I was good. If not I would have 200 rounds to plink with and...
Spent part of the afternoon loading some more up. Won’t have a chance to take it out and zero the new load till next weekend but I’m pleased with what it’ll do. The only hunting we have on the schedule this year for her is a Wyoming deer hunt in November so we have some time to play around...
I’ve loaded the 120 BT in my daughters Remington model 7 in 7mm-08 for years at a reduced load. It’s taken a few whitetail, a mule deer and some Antelope with no issues. This year I put a new Leupold with the CDS and decided we should probably try and get a little more speed out of that...
I’ll have to go back to my load books but I worked up a load with IMR 4350 that gives me 2750 fps with a 160 grainAccubond. Figured that was close enough to .280 Rem speeds not to go any further. This is out of a Number 1. No signs of pressure and it shoots as good as I’m capable of...
People have short memories regarding our freedoms and how we maintain them. We need men and women like Dan, here’s to hoping we don’t need to use them….Semper Fi
