    Tough Pill to Swallow

    My 20” 300 PRC Imp with 215s at 2950 and my plinking load in the 26” 25sst 131s at 3170. Shooting them side by side at 1300yards the 300 will have .25-.50moa less drift. As the distance gets shorter from there the gap is bridged concerning wind drift. If I run a max n570 load with 131s at...

    Robby's building a 6UM!

    Another ultra 5 fan. I have bigger cans but the 5 gets used the most on my hunting rifles. Suppresses pretty well considering it’s only 5” and 9oz. Even use it on a 20” 300prc Imp with 215s. I wouldn’t even consider going back to brakes after shooting suppressors for over a decade.

    22 Creedmore vs 22-250

    Same here, tikka 18” 22CM 1-8 41.5gr varget at 3625fps. Also run a 16” tikka 243win 1-10 55bt at 3625fps A factory 22-250 would be fine to, just 150fps slower.

    Varmint bullet for deer

    I think you will be ok on deer at reasonable ranges. I’ve had 2 pass throughs on small does pushing 53 v max at 3500fps 150-200 yards. V max is not ideal but should work better at slower speeds. I see right now midway has these bullets in stock if you haven’t tried any of them. 85gr Speer...

    “Short” Barrels, why not?

    My 16” 300blk out bolt gun left a lot to be desired with subs and light cup and core bullets for hunting. Switched to the 100gr blk out hammer bullet and at 2500fps they will pass through 200lb hogs broadside although they still run always. I run the same bullet at 2200fps in my 8” ar blk out...

    New Aero precision action

    While the action feels good I definitely have not put them to the test. Time will tell how they hold up. Either way not a bad start for for Areo’s first bolt action.

    New Aero precision action

    My Areo Solus actions have lighter bolt (after releasing the f.p.) than the bat, defiance, kelbly, tikka actions I’ve compared it with side by side. Some of my blueprinted 700 actions with several thousand rounds on them are pretty light. But if I remember correctly the areo was the lightest and...

    The 22 creedmoor thread

    Reduced recoil is it really but its worth enough to me with an 8lb rig. I shoot a 18” 6.5creed 140 bergers 2610fps and with my 18” 22creed, factory 80gr elds run 3070fps. Looking at AB wind drift a 1000yards is almost identical comparing the 143 vs 80 favoring the 80 just slightly. But I need to...

    It’s a great store and the largest indoor gun range in the state. My company has a yard in Odessa but Im further east.

    Turkey load?

    Dropped mine at 30 yards a week ago with 5 shot. Rem Nitro 3.5” 2oz 1300fps. I’m sure the long beard will serve you well.

    Tested Varget, accuracy and velocity looked more promising than h4350.

    The 22 creedmoor thread

    No I have it now but thank you. Pressure tested the 62vt’s this morning with Hornady brass and shot a few groups. Load was 42gr h4350 roughly +.030” jump with fed 210s. It produced an avg of 3410fps. Groups weren’t that great but ill tune it a little more before I try Varget. I get light ej...

    The 22 creedmoor thread

    I’ve been having a few bolts done lately with the wrought iron fluting, it has grown on me and looks sharp. That’s a mild load of h-1000 with hornady or alpha brass. It will run 3200fps on the top end with the 80s but I feel no need to push my long range load. I shot the 90 pointed SMK’s a...

    Viability of a 270Win to 1000yards

    I hunted with a 270 wsm for awhile. 26” with 140 bergers at 3340fps. I shot out to 1000 on steel but felt like it was best for hunting at 700yds and in. 145s at 2950 will do well for plinking at 900 in mild wind and good for hunting at 600 and in IMO. Assuming your running a 24” Bbl and 10twist...

    How do we get a heavy (120+ grain) 6mm bullet made?

    I saw that and thought that was an interesting statement considering the 22creed and 25prc are almost identical using the overbore index.
