I haven’t got a chance to shoot it. Hopefully this weekend. But right now it’s weighing in at 10.8 lbs. I think it’ll be great for my wife to shoot and have minimal recoil.
If anyone wants to see some trigger cam video and commentary of the hunt, here it is. I need to get better at getting this camera focused before the shot.
Just bought a box of Fierce dirtnap ammo for the new 22 CM. First off, I paid over $60 for a box of 20 rounds which really sucked but I needed the brass, which is alpha LRP.
I was just looking closer at the 80 ELDMs the loaded and noticed the jacket near the polymer tip base was a little...
Oh yeah it’s no joke. This is the first one I took my time on and didn’t get done packing and caping until 1am. I basically broke even on the extra cooler I had to buy haha.
Now I know I can do it well though.
Damn it, I wish I would have found this post sooner. I just sold one to a taxidermist the other day. Got $125 for it. I’m not sure the juice was worth the squeeze for that extra work and cooler space.
Sig cross 6.5 creedmoor factory 18 inch barrel. It has between 120-140 rounds thru it and shoots 140-147grain bullets very well. Its mainly shot 143 eldx though and easily sub MOA.
I havent shot any liter bullets in it. I’m only selling it because I just got a 22 creedmoor barrel for my wife...
I went hunting for 5 days and did vacuum sealed bags of beef, half stick of butter, two chunks of cheese, and pink sea salt. Froze them and warmed them up in the boil for about 5 minutes (helps if you leave them out for a few hours). Each package was 1.5 lbs and I did 2 of those a day. I also...
Finally jumped and ordered a PVA 22 inch tube and had a local smith ream it. It was my wife’s Sigcross 6.5 creed. Hoping to shoot 62 vts for coyotes and 77 TMKs for everything else.
I’ve worked very intimately on both of the rezs you’re referring to and every reservation in the Dakotas, most of Montana, Nevada, Nebraska, and some of the southern tribes. I haven’t just lived across the river from the Rez and done some poured concrete by the complex (which is where you’re...
It went somewhere into the guts. I never recovered the bullet but the lungs were complete mush. It was a bloody mess inside and dark so I didn’t do a good job of getting pictures. Just got him quartered up and packed out solo.
Got another sweet data point. 60 yards frontal shot on a big bull. 6 creed with a 108 eldm. He made it 75 yards and piled up. Hope the video uploaded fine.
