Well that’s a shame Guy, you were imbedded with Gavin Gear and helping him out so I thought you found your holy grail job!?!
But I understand completely with your decision. Oklahoma has a lot of great people, Tate Skeeter of Impact Precision, and CRB Custom Rifle Barrels that was Hawk Hill...
All I can say is that my income didn’t go up 27% since 2018-‘19.
All this begun with the increase in wages, then more during Covid. Now Starbucks workers are getting paid an average wage of $30 per hour and they are ready to strike for more pay!?!
When you have to pay for higher wages, the...
I remember when you first wanted to have a barrel spun up for your Super Mashburn, and how much I enjoyed reading about that cartridge in Bob Hagel’s books so long ago and you made that possible for yourself! Super round in 7mm.
Merry Christmas to you and your family Scotty! May you have a...
I just shot this 3 shot group off my bench @ 250 yards. I got bad dope from my Shooter App, it called for 8/10 mil @ 250, but my previous three shots @100 weren’t dead center. So I’ll have to fix that.
Looks like a 2” group to me @ 250 yards. Plenty good for hunting game IMO, but honestly I...
I don’t want people to think that I’m not impressed with Nosler bullets. If fact I’ve had better luck finding exceptional loads with them than not!! I’ve also killed more game with them than anything else too!
But I’ve also had good luck with a lot of the other players that make bullets too...
I’d be cautious about using any load data over 50K psi with your action. Better to be safe than sorry. Originally it was designed to handle 45K psi, or 40K cup.
Now as most of you know I am a Nosler fan when it comes to hunting bullets. That said, until the Fat Lady Sings, or in this case produces 3/4” moa groups or less I’m not in a dating mood! But I’m also not one to spend my time and money wasting components and barrel life chasing the death trap...
Great to relive your hunting experience in this beautiful and well done video John.
I read your posts and few weeks ago, which were pretty well written and informative in every aspect. That said there’s nothing quite like seeing how your story unfolded and watch what took place.
The story...
Well for whatever it’s worth I guess I’m not the only one that couldn’t get them to shoot, I just went back to Ballistic Tips, and Partitions. But I have had better results with the standard Accubond vs the LRAB’s.
It’s basically a 300 Jarrett. H4831, VV N165, RL22, and 25, anything slow burning.
My old load was 84.0 H4831sc/F215M/ in 300 Jarrett brass @ 3.6450” coal using the old 165 MRX Bullet, discontinued long ago for being armor piercing as well as penetrate the full length of an elk. It was going...
Wow, what a stud of a deer! Damn that’s a once in a lifetime opportunity that you pulled off extremely well!
In Idaho we have only been able to use round ball, or conical bullets until just this year. What was allowed had to be within .010” of the bore diameter, and could be tipped. But I...
That’s fantastic news for your opening day hunt! Glad to hear that you succeeded in harvesting a really nice Whitetail so quickly.
It’s great when everything goes well and smoothly for what sounds like you’re getting up there in age?
I’ve been telling myself that I need to take the Elk where...
I’ve never been one to toss out old powder, and tend to save it for breaking in a new barrel.
Last week was IMR 4350 from 2006 that was previously used for a 8mm Remington Magnum.
I tested it against a newer bottle produced in late September 2001 in my 30/06 after 20 rounds with the stuff...
I’m of the opinion that was typical for a Browning BAR, maybe a little better? I’ve never seen one shoot much less than an inch.
That said, I also haven’t seen one in over 25 + years either.
