For all you guys that had/have a father, uncle or even a friend of the family take you hunting. you are blessed.
I am the only one in my family who truly loves the outdoors and hunts.
custom new breed built. Got the draw length at 34 1/8" with 38" axle to axle. Big bow.
Man that is a long draw length, what is your arrow setup? I don't know if you have chronographed it but that bow and draw length sounds like it is zeuss's thunderbolt.
I would like to see a picture of your...
Justin,
Why did you go with a 1.9 twist Barrel vs a 1.8?
Is your brother's gun a 1.9 twist as well.
I think that it is interesting to see the Berger VLD bullet stabilize so well in a 1.9 twist barrel when they recommend 1.8
I have never used JB bore paste, but their are gun writers and a lot of people who swear buy it saying how good it is.
So how does that smith expect you to clean your barrel...
That is what I have read as well on the overbore cartridges. I figured I would ask as you have already wore out a barrel and went through the process of replacing it.
Always looking to gain a little bit more knowledge.
3300+ FPS man that is moving, sounds like it is knocking on the door for Weatherby levels of speed.
Well you got me curious enough to give them a try. I bought a box of 120 TTSX's (back ordered) when they come in I will work up a load, hopefully I can find some more retumbo.
I usually lean...
RamsHead, What length barrel and twist rate did you go with? My Winchester came from the factory with a 26" barrel and 1.9 twist. The twist rate is really limiting me with bullet choices, that and California.
Out of curiosity what is your velocity with that 120 TTSX? I looked them up they have...
I have seen the matrix bullets, but don't know anyone who has any solid field experience.
Shrek on here has reported some shooting with them but think he was still in the tuning phase with his rifle and wasn't getting the accuracy he was looking for.
Have you shot them
My Winchester weather extreme in .264 wm has been very good to me. At the range I have been able to clover leaf 130 tsx with 60.0 grains of retumbo. I am slowly load developing, and don't get a chance to shoot much these days.
to me a disadvantage to the .264wm is that I don't see any 150gr...
For what it is worth I have the Pelican cooler 45qt I believe. I didn't purchase it directly for hunting, but using it for hunting was apart of decision process. Like all the high end coolers they are not cheap.
For what it was designed to do it has been fantastic, it turned water from melted...
