  1. .....G G & G... :sniper:
  2. 125 Nosler Ballistic Tips shoot great in my 308 and 300 Blackout.....not 175 SMK great ....but still very respectable
  3. I've tried it in most everything I use Varget in with mixed results....groups are good..close to Varget but not quite as good.....one thing I have noticed is charge weight doesn't have big effect on accuracy..grain or 2 one way or the other still gives respectable groups.....found that light bullets in 6.5 Creedmoor wouldn't cycle action with XBR ...made for an accurate single shot....H4350 rules here still
  4. 300 Win short mag,.308,.223,.300 Win mag
  5. Kinda makes me want to blow the dust off my twentysomething Delta Gold Cup...have scars on the web of my hand from hammerbite
  6. Ow ..!!!Hand and wrist still operable..??? ....that's a lot of shooting for being away from it for a while...

    Barrett?

    WOW!!! There's a sweet centerpiece for living room coffee table....what a conversation starter...... You know how it goes,his warranty probably just expired.....I imagine Ronnie will want this one back, even if it's just to look at it....
  8. Traded the Chevelle for a 69 Skylark with a 455 in it...got that together and running then sold it to buy the ZX14 I have now....had that 67 Chevelle for 19 yrs....practically got sick watching it go down the driveway..wife hated that car..always said I cared more about it than her..she referred to it as "your orange baby"..(it was Hugger Orange)....I'll have another one someday...66 or67
  9. Drag raced my 67 Chevelle for years...drove to the track and back every Saturday ....still have a 27 Ford Roadster with a 440 inch Big Block Chevy sitting in car trailer...sad to say I didn't even start it last year....my boy is getting to the age were he'll be into cars more than video games soon. Maybe get back into it....Watkins Glen racetrack is 15 miles away. We go there sometimes ..like to start drag racing bikes ..think that would be fun
  10. Picked up the new Kimber catalog today while making gunshop rounds....been slobbering all over it :drool:...dying for one of their lightweight customs
  11. Glock.......P14 wouldn't be a bad second choice...have both but prefer shooting the Para......carrying a Glock
  12. If your looking for mid or long range the 6.5 Grendel lays the smackdown on everything else in an AR15 platform....sold my Grendel when I aquired a 6.5 Creedmoor.....got a new Grendel marked lower with plans for new one
  13. Yes ...but that was with considerable stoning on hammer and trigger....not bad for single stage when done....don't know what it would have produced with just spring change.........switched it to Rock River 2 stage few months ago..much better....have the JP springs in 4 rifles all together......can't say wether it's better to replace springs or just take some of the tension out of factory springs
  14. Wolf in a couple rifles for plinking at steel gongs....55 gr Nos ballistic tips, 53 gr Horn Vmax in Federal commercial brass in a 24" varmint rig.80 gr. Amax shoots fantastic in that rifle also but turns it into a single shot.....77 gr. Sierra MK in mini SASS...75 gr Hornady HPBT and 69 gr.SMK shoot almost as well in that rifle
  15. Scored a hundred rounds of the Remington UMC ammo at gunshow yesterday...$12 a box...maybe get to the range this week to give it a try...hope it shoots good in my setup, if not, at least I got some quality brass
  16. Different diameter bullet....7.62x39 bullets are .311. Maybe you could swage them if you had a bunch to use up...
  17. Barnes makes top shelf stuff....and they're certainly not bashful about asking to be compensated for it..........wait till Black Hills jumps on the bandwagon....
  18. I've used down to a 35 gr Vmax in my Swift, 22-250 and. 223....the AR varmint is the only fast twist of the bunch.. 1/8...never had a bullet come apart but a 223 won't drive'em like the other 2....only experience with bullets coming unglued was with Hornady XTP pistol bullets...180 and 200 gr were shedding jackets like a stripper....but that was out of a 444 Marlin Contender barrel at 24-2500 fps...Hornady recommended 240 gr plus or slow it down...200's shoot great at around 2000 fps
  19. PWS and Benny Cooley ..+1
  20. Yep...that's it....a cactus or trident or sumthin ..
  21. No it's a SFP ....got the guy to drop his price when I showed him the difference....he priced it as a FFP.....would have been a super sweet deal if it was though....
  22. If you don't want to blow a hole in the hide use a light bullet that will really frag on entry..40-50 gr. Vmax .. or Barnes varmint grenade.........small entry and no exit hole......
  23. Made a couple of these last weekend.....just above the second rib will give you 10 rounds ...added a spacer for 5.... I got a nice clean square cut using a compound mitre saw....epoxied, drilled and pinned base.....came out better than expected and it was easy....might make a couple shorties for AR15 next
  24. I like it.!!!! .....No problems cycling??? What are you shooting in it??? Any chronograph or group sizes???
  25. He can do what he wants to make a point to his kids but the dumbass didn't need to broadcast it for the world to see.....they made a big deal out of it on morning radio here...came across quite negatively of course..just giving the anti's ammunition ...
