So many options Dan...But if you are thinking about going with a rebated rim in a 6.5 why not stretch it out a little more to the Weatherby 6.5 RPM would make for a great backup travel rifle
Still dealing with the oxidation, I added the rod, humidity is +/-40% in the safe. and this happened in a month to a cleaned and oiled rifle. very frustration I have reached out to Rhino Safe today to see what they think. It seems to be a chemical reaction (maybe stray electrical??) it has been...
The ladder i shot this weekend with the target, cold clean bore 3 shot group at the bull is the eldx load i just put together last year with a quick work up before hunting season for my daughter, wated to check zero and foul the barrel a little. I found it interesting the ladder was horizontal...
I did an initial ladder with the ablr. No signs of pressure so loaded a few more, hopefully get out tomorrow to give them a try. Didn't remember to get a picture of the target but all but the 47.5 were grouped fairly close for a ladder
I've started looking at the 25 creed, looking at some published load data it only seems to lag behind the 2506 by 100fps give or take, so Im curious who's using one and is this reality pushing a 120gr over 3000fps?
If this is the case I may seriously think about putting one together on a M70...
Thanks for all of the feedback! I think I will see what it will do with the 129 ABLR and go from there. the gun currently shoots eldx under .75moa but just want something a lighter and faster.
So I'm sitting here trying to decide what mid weight bullet to work up in my 260rem. The choices I have are 121gr Etip, 125gr Partition, 129gr ABLR, or 130gr AB. Would likely be used for deer or wolf sized game, I'm mostly leaning toward the 121s or 125s. Im saving my heavier 140& 143s for the...
Norma uses/used a simular type you can look there too, I will see if I have any laying around when I'm back at the house tonight.
Belive I read somewhere they are also a good fire starter
