    6.5 CM whitetail bullet

    For the ranges you list, it’s pretty hard to beat the plain ol’ Hornady 129gr Interlock. I’ve shot several critters with them out of a .260 and they leave a silver dollar sized exit with good destruction on the internals. John

    Small Spotter opinions.

    Don’t dismiss the Tract spotters. I don’t have one of their 65mm, but do have their 80mm and it is superb. Would absolutely be willing to try one of their 65mm versions. John

    Concentricity/runout gauge

    I have the Sinclair runout gage and use it every single loading session. Minimal runout may not make a load shoot any better, I don’t know, but it sure won’t make it shoot any worse… John

    .22 GT

    A lot of folks go with 8” twist in hopes of slowing bullet RPM enough to avoid bullet blow up. The cost is a little less stability resulting in a little less BC. I don‘t have any regrets on going with 7” twist, but my barrels have a low round count and the throats are still in pretty good...

    .22 GT

    Both of my current .22 GT barrels are 7” twist Bartlein 5Rs with a .218” bore. I went with 7” twist because I wanted to ensure stability with 88gr ELDs. A bunch of folks go with a .219” bore because in flight bullet failures seem to happen less with the .219” bore, but so far, I’ve had no...

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    Shot a small whitetail doe this evening at 413 yards with a 77gr TMK launched at 2978 fps from my .22GT. Mild load. Impact velocity should have been about 2125 fps. Double lung shot. Bullet hit a rib on the way in and on exit. Damage to lungs was substantial. External exit wound in the hide...

    .22 GT

    The barrel on my hunting rig is 19 3/8” and pushes 88gr ELD-Ms to 2914fps with 35.6gr H4350. Not a mild load, but not a hot load either. Bonus is that it put five shots in .131”, shown in earlier post. John

    Recommendation for barrel work

    Just texted Jon Beanland and asked if he’s doing Tikka pre-fits. He says he has a program for them. His work is the best I’ve ever seen so it would certainly be worth giving him a call. Here’s a video of the runout in the last chamber he cut for me. John http://beanlandrifles.com/

    Cattle....

    I’ve been out in the pasture standing amongst my cows and had deer not even notice me, like I was part of the herd. Have also looked in direction the same cattle were looking and noticed they were looking at a coyote, sometimes surprisingly far away. They have much better vision than most would...

    Replacement for Gene Ingram?

    When I ordered my Holt Collier Special, I ordered two identical additional ones for Christmas gifts for my son and son-in-law. Couldn’t post that here ‘til now, lest they find out prior to Christmas. Now that they have them, here’s the pics. Extremely pleased with how they turned out. Super...
