    Bor Lock 270 grain loads

    I recently acquired a pristine Cooper MZ. I'm in Colorado, so it's a sabotless, no-scope, loose powder, irons-only gig. I've put a 20 MOA Farrel rail on it, with Arrowhead rifles front sight on it. Looking at either the Arrowhead's recommended XS rear or NECOG's peep. But haven't made a...

    Suppressor wait times

    It should be an over-the-counter transaction. They run an NCIC check on you when you purchase a firearm. So it's just extra bullshit. I'm not real happy about the 200-dollar tax either. Mine was a 278-day wait, for a two stamp gun, ten days for the SBR, and the rest for a tube with baffles in...

    Accessing Landlocked BLM / Public land by air with paramotor para-glider ??

    There are still pieces of John Denver that were never recovered after he augered in on his paraglider. I'm fairly certain he wasn't carrying 60 pounds of hunting gear. As financially painful as it would be, I'd find a helo service and pay a professional to get me in and out.

    Short-Term Memory Loss "Solutions?"

    My paternal grandfather had dementia, Dad had it too, and so did his twin. I had what you are speaking about in my 40s. Spoke with the Doctor about it, as I thought it was early-onset dementia. He told me that kind of thing is normal. You've got too many things on your mind. He said that if you...

    Perception of Pain & Discomfort

    Retired LEO from a medium-sized city. (250K) Worked Patrol for 28 years, and Patrol is a full-contact sport. After retirement, I had a spinal fusion, two hernia operations, and as I sit here as I type this with a broken ankle with 12 screws and a plate. I find at 65 recovery from any kind of...

    6.5 Creedmoor and 127 LXR how hot is to hot?.

    I have a Creedmoor with a 22-inch barrel and a PRC with a 24-inch barrel. Shooting the 6.5 Creedmoor, I use 124 grain Hammer Hunters with 38.0 grains of Varget. 2870 FPS per Labradar. Using the same bullet in the 6.5 PRC, and 61.0 grains of Magnum I am getting 3100 fps. A difference of 230 fps...

    Looking for a new rifle…

    Eurooptic has the Sako S20 on closeout. In 6.5 PRC they want 999.00. That's likely less than cost. I expect it won't be there long.

    Looking for Colorado elk advice.

    I am relatively new to elk hunting. That said I have been on three guided elk hunts. These were 2x1s and in one case 3x1. Everyone except me carried a 300 Win Mag on each of the hunts. My guides told me to expect and zero the rifle to a 300-yard shot. I took elk on each of these hunts, all of...

    6.5 PRC Primer Choice

    I use Federal 210's. If you don't get decent groups with the magnum primers, that would be the first thing I'd change, if running a recommended load from a manual. I have a Bench Rest buddy and he assures me they do make a difference. I certainly understand with the primer shortage, a man has...

    6.5 PRC 125 Hammer HHT

    I have two Coopers. Both 1/8 twist. One in PRC and the other Creed. Using 38 grains of Varget I am getting 2870 fps with 124 Hammer Hunters, shooting into the .2's for three shots. I found that R23 in my PRC was not consistent. I used 61.0 grains of Magnum with the same 124 HH and am getting...

    6.5 PRC Reloading Help

    My load is Nosler brass, Federal 210M primers, 61.0 grains of Magnum powder, and 124 grain Hammer Hunter bullet. This will give me 3100 fps per Labradar and shoot three-shot groups in the .2's.

    Springfield Waypoint 6.5 prc gun and company problems

    Years ago, I had a Springfield Socom that was a 5-7 MOA rifle with Nato ball. As it was the only ammo my agency would approve, I sent it back to Springfield. Springfield was appraised of the ammo requirement. Springfield put a scope on it, used 168 grain match, shot it into 3 MOA, said it met...

    Do you regret getting your suppressor?

    Therein lies the rub. Should be an OTC purchase. At best a wanted check, but it shouldn't even require that, as it's useless without a firearm.

    6.5 PRC bullet opinion

    I use the 124 Hammer Hunter in both my 6.5 Creedmoor and PRC. My rifles have the 1/8 twist and both love them. But I have to agree with the various posters that if you are going to use it as a relatively short-range thumper, the 140-grain Nosler Partition, providing it shoots in your rifle, is...

    Congressional Hearing on UAP/UFO

    All of it is hearsay. Third-party information. Bring in the heads of these projects and have them testify with pictures and recovered objects. Then it will get my attention. Otherwise, it's just theater.

    Seekins Havak Element vs. Custom anTi, Proof, Manners, etc

    The only thing I don't like about the Seekins bolt line is the length of pull. 13.25 is about a half inch too short for me.
