Hey man! Life has been comlicated lately. Since my dad had his last heart surgery in August we have had to take care of him. Now we have to fight his ex-wife. I am ready to start shooting something again. I will try to get the report on the 140 accubond done up as well. reflex264
I am currently using 125gr partitions on depredation kills loaded 3100 out of a .264. Very mild load that is shooting great. Longest kill so far is 550 yards. More later. reflex264
Here is a link to their website and a phone number. I have been there a couple of times and have always enjoyed the trip. Good people to deal with and a real fun hunt.

we are planning on handgunning for hogs the second weekend in April 2011. Unless something happens we will arrive Thursday night and hunt Friday, Saturday and Sunday. reflex264
Installed the Siderlock trigger today. Great addition. I can still draw the gun and get on target in the blink of an eye. With the lightened trigger the cross bolt prevents accidental discharges if a finger slips during the draw. reflex264
I dont believe in overkill. :mrgreen: The 7x57 is one of my favorite cartrdiges. We currently have 4 of them. There isn't a better deer cartridge in the world. I have probably killed around 100 deer with various rifles in 7x57. reflex264
I know what it looks like but it was 8 degrees F!!! That is about the only way I will put that parka on. We had a good year even though I only killed 3 deer. I killed 3, my sone killed 4, a kid on the young sportsman hunt killed 1 and my BIL killed 6. All these came off of the same farm. It is...
today was the end of deer season with the exception of the juvinile hunt next weekend. We braved the cold this morning and brought two does home. I killed mine with a 7x57 MK1 using a 120gr Ballistic Tip driven by Varget. My BIL carried his Ruger 77MK2 .300 Win Mag loaded with 180gr Hornadys...
We got to go this evening on a short hunt. Matt shot this doe with his gatgun built .264. 284 yards and he used a 140gr accubond. The bullet was launched by a mild charge of H4831SC that was running 3050fps from the 27" barrel. We shouldn't have any problem getting them out at around 3200fps...
She was 30 yards out. Shot her right through the heart. I love this toy plastic pistol.
Here is the gun...
6" Storm Lake barrel
Wolfe one piece SS guide rod with springs for all level loads up to Super
Lone Wolfe trigger housing with adjustable stop
Ghost ultimate connector
Extra power striker...
I don't know what happened to my post but it went something like this. Call up Leupold and give them those numbers. I tried to plug in some totaly unrealistic BC numbers and never got the computer to match the real targets. I would like to know what they have to say about it. reflex264
It is right around the corner. I have my trusty firehawk cleaned up and ready. I am shooting 100grs of 777 lit by a 209 shoving 300gr .452 XTPS in Knight HP sabots for 1856fps and 1.25" groups at 100 yards. I have a Khanke 82 .54 caliber pistol shooting 425gr Great Plains bullets over 70grs of...
My best guess is somewhere around 5.5" occuring in hte neighborhood of 350 yards. The weird thing is my normal sight in with the 120gr BT is -0- at 340 yards but I still use 1 stadia up for my 100 yard sight in. We have been discussing this again lately. We are going to try it with 3 .264s. The...
