I love my two Ruger 1B's in 6mm Remington and 30-06. Beautiful rifles that are wonderful to carry. Love those #1's!!! Also the 280AI. I had a Winchester Model 70 made into a 280AI. Fantastic cartridge. You done good!
I don't get real fancy and just warm up about 1/2 a cup of butter until it's soft or liquid and then I rub it all over the turkey and sprinkle some sea salt on it. It goes into my Pit Boss pellet smoker at 225 until it's cooked. It has a water tray in it that I make sure it has water in and...
On my personal stuff I have the following.
6x42mm Leupold on my Ruger 1B 6mm Remington. Love this scope!
4x Leupold on my Ruger 1B 30-06
4.5-14x42mm Leupold VX3 with B&C reticle on my Winchester Model 70 280AI. (Love the B&C reticle & scope!) My first variable ever!
2-7 Leupold rimfire scope...
This is out of my son's 300 WSM and is a 180 gr. Accubond we recovered under the hide on the offside shoulder of his nice cow elk at about 150 yards broadside. She dropped on the spot and never moved. I "borrowed" Guy's really neat picture that he did using one of the Nosler books as a...
Accubond - Partition - E-tip out of my 6mm Remington into water jugs at 400 yards. They all performed exceptionally well.
Accurate as well. I didn't work this load up for my rifle, I just picked what I thought would be a decent load with accuracy and good velocity so I could use them in my...
Me too Scotty. I have wanted a controlled round feed Model 70 forever. When I found that essentially new Classic Sporter I just new I had to buy it. It became a 280AI and the rest is history.
OAL in my Remington 700 and then later my Ruger 1B was the same at 3.375. That is with teh same 165 gr. Partition that you are using. The same seating depth, case, primer, and powder & charge weight stayed the same for both. It shot fantastic in both rifles. Powder was IMR4350. I do not...
Just me but I would prefer the 165 gr. Accubond, Partition, or 150 gr. E-tip. Same with 180 gr. Partition and Accubond bullets in the 30-06 over the Ballistic Tip bullets. The BT's have been improved but I personally prefer the others over it.
I've been seeing Hornady 6mm Remington brass at our local Scheels store in Missoula MT. 406-218-7530. I purchased 150 rounds and they had several hundred more.
I like the Leupold 4.5-14x40mm with the B&C reticle. Maybe just a touch over what you said you might spend but sure is a good scope with an excellent power range.
I had no problems finding an accurate load for the 90 gr. E-tip in my son's Ruger MKII in 6mm Remington. The bullet also performs extremely well on game. So far that's the only E-tip I have used in our rifles, but I certainly need to load up some more to try. Thinking the 150 gr. E-tip in...
I'm surprised but happy 300WSM that you got so exactly close to what the velocity was supposed to be with that load in the specified barrel length. I would also have not been surprised if the result would have been 100 fps or more different from what you were supposed to get. As a sniper on...
I have not shot any E-tips on game as of yet in my personal rifles. My son with his 90 gr. E-tips in his 6mm Remington has killed a couple of deer, three antelope, and a big cow elk all with one shot. The performance on game was impressive and the little 90 gr. E-tip performed like it was a...
