...dang, I wonder what kinda MV's you'ld get outta a 250" barrel??? :shock: :cry: :roll: :mrgreen:

...damn, I'm getting old, they gotta be a lot closer afore I can see'em...

...right in front of the "Blue Lagoon"... :roll: :lol: :mrgreen: ...oh, & 'everyone' knows there ain't 'nuthin' S. of St. Maries... :roll: :twisted: :mrgreen:

...Timney used to make a couple of 3-position Mod. 700 triggers, don't know if they still do, but that's what I'd be looking for...

...looks like down by Cataldo...

...great article, but I'm old & will probably remain a proponent of "Mor'dedder", w/ the caveat of "Shoot the biggest bullet you can shoot well". I've got rifles that shoot 1/2 MOA or less consistently, but 3/4 MOA from field positions, well, I manage to shoot 'em 1 MOPDAWG... :shock: :roll...

...not really a problem, but if you're considering doing a lot of shooting out past 400yds. you might want to consider ordering a CDS dial after you get your load confirmed. There probably should have been a couple manuals in your box w/ the scope, the BAS Inst. Manual should give you all the...

...why would you cripple a perfectly good 7mag by trying to turn it into a .270??? :roll: :twisted: :mrgreen: ...seriously tho, what's the size/ weight difference between your 7 WSM/ 7 MSM??? W/ the same bullet, even 200fps. faster, the difference in terminal ballistics will be almost...

...not very portable, but I used to have one set up on skids that slid into the bed of a pick-up...

...a very thin coat of lithium soap, white lithium, lithium grease...

...if you can come up w/ some lead shot bags filled w/ sand, I'd drop pairs of them into your shooting box, bringing your barrel up enough to clear the box, something like this...

...in theory, a .257 Bee using the 115gr. BT will get you another 100ft.lbs. & 1" less drop over your .25-06, using a lot more powder to do it. On the other hand, a new rifle, a new cartridge to load for has a value of it's own...

...I'm loading the Sierra 220gr. SBT's @2.900, which puts the top of the boat tail even w/ the bottom of the case neck, over 63grs. of RL-17 @2800fps., seating them any farther out would mean the rear of the case neck is unsupported, going to be about the same w/ most of the heavy 8mm bullets...

...kinda depends on what 'game' you're shooting. I own a number of factory rifles that will consistently shoot 3/4-1/2MOA groups @ 200yds., but if your 'game' is a 3/8" dot @200-300yds. & winners & losers are determined by a 100th or even 1000th of an inch, then anything you can do to gain a few...

...I just ran the 165, 180, 200gr. NPT's @ 2800, 2600, 2500fps, respectively, thru my Sierra ballistics program, there's not enough difference in delivered energy out to 400yds. to make a spit of difference (<= 100ft.lbs). Given the seating depth & other issues you're likely to encounter w/ the...

...if you want to 'warm' it up a bit, you could rechamber it to a 8mmX284...

...hmmm, probably the .32-20, less report than a .22LR, less recoil than a .223, kept a large family fed thru 2 World Wars, a Great Depression, a number of recessions, mill strikes, mine strikes, & other assorted 'hard times. Used for commercial hunting in the Roaring '20's, "First Deer Rifle"...

...generally speaking, targets are 1 (10") or 2 (20") MOA or 12-18-24" so they're easy to reference w/ a 'dot system', a 1.5 MOA (16") is pretty popular around here for 600-800yd. targets, easy to use w/ MOA/mildot...

...Browning A-Bolt Long Range Hunter in 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5X20 VX-3... ...Winchester Mod. 70 .325 WSM/ 4.5X14 CDS VX-3...

...well, back in the 'Dark Ages' before rangefinders & ballistic apps, MPBR (Maximum Point Blank Range) was a pretty good solution, but I think most of us will agree that the majority of our shots on game are under 250yds. Using a 3" high POI @ 100yds. will put you, depending on the cartridge...
