yep JD, you will be pleasantly surprised at the results. The 6.5JDJ does far more than the case should. I've taken several deer and coyotes with ground hog and prairee dogs thrown in for grins. I even let youngsters shoot it. Mine has a bipod ,so recoil is no problem.
I have the 7-08, 7x57,280 and the 7x30! Had a 7MagREM and a couple wikdcats also! Within 100 yards even the 7T/CU is a proven deer killer.When you stretch the range is when the larger capacity cases come into play.The 7x57 is downloaded for the older actions and rated for the 46,000 psi...
Sorry about being away so long. I removed the Simmons scope and mounted my 2.5x8 Leupold on the barrel. Using the same ammo as before I got sub MOA 5 shot groups from the gun! Using a few other loads I consistently got inch or less groups. Of course I used sand bags as a rest. The barrel that...
I have a rear grip Wichita 7mm IHMSA that doted on nosler solid bases when I shot sillywets.Now that I no longer shoot competitively,I use bulk bullets in it. The problem is ,there is NO safety on this gun. I have to kep the action open till I see a target and then load a round. Wish I could...
Ace ,take a tall kitchen trash bag and take it to the range .Fill it about half way with saw dust/kitty litter or news paper. Add water till every thing in the bag is wet.Try to make a "lump" about the size of a deer. Have your wife (or you ) shoot it.this will give you some idea of the exit...
Ace ,I bought several 1000 7mm bullets before I retired 5 years ago.Some were new and some were from an old friend that had them for years.Not all Noslers either! :oops: Sorry i can't be more help. :cry:
I have used the 120 and 140 grain bullets for deer and ground hog in several 7mm's.7x30 ,7=08 and the 280 Remington,They(120's) can be a little explosive on close shots.The 140's seem to be a little more accurate for long shots.
I used IMR4350 in my 6mm's with great success. I just got one out of the safe and tried IMR 4831 in it .I got fliers and double grouping.One greoup had 4 shots in .487, 3rd shot was a flier that opened the group to about 1 and a 1/4 inches. I have some XMR 4350 on hand and loaded some of that in...
depending on YOUR style of hunting as to scope selection. I use dot reticles,AND crosshairs .For a light weight carry gun I usually scope it with a 2x7 or 3x9 scope.Shots may be close and fast! For the times I want to sit back and relax I use a straight 20x or a 6x20 variable. Sit this on a...
:cry: I went to the range today with my 7x30 Contender,14" & 2x7 scope. I tried a handload and a factory load.The handload used Sierra's 130 SSSP bullet and a charge of 748 powder. Factory ammo is loaded with a 120 flatpoint. The factory load shot under 2 inches,and also higher on the target in...
does any one have any reloading data for these 22cal bullets in either a 223 handgun or rifle or 22-250 rifle.Are the zipedos strictly a varmint bullet or can they be used on larger animals?I have inherited 5 boxes of them and never heard of them! :(
