Closest combo I used was the 55 gr Nosler Ballistic Tips from a 1:9 twist 6mm Remington. I was trying to reach that awesome 4,000 fps promised in the manuals, but had only a well-worn 22" Remington factory barrel and fell a bit short in velocity. Accuracy was "okay" but not as good as the rifle...
That one chest shot, high and left, at about 11 o'clock... ALMOST put it out of the maximum score area. I think that was fired from my support hand. Didn't group real well with those shots. I shall have to practice more with my weak/support hand.
The good ol' Ruger 22/45 and a pile of 22 long...
This afternoon I got to hang out with some law enforcement buddies and shoot the LEOSA qualification, which allows retired officers to carry concealed in all 50 states. My old pard and I each shot 100% on the fairly easy course. Yup, Kimber 1911.
I'm not sure "liberal" is even the correct term anymore. Fondly remember some of the liberal ideas of championing free speech etc... Am thinking that the "leftists" or "American Marxists" are what we're facing now. Some of my liberal friends are bewildered about what their party has become. I've...

Really old scope - and those friction-adjust Leupold scopes tend to do a great job of holding their zero. I've still got a couple of 'em. One is a 2.5x that I've used on heavy-loaded 45-70 Marlin rifles with absolutely no problem holding zero.

It looks like the good old 220 RNSP Hornady that's long been used in the 30-06 and 300 magnums. I wonder if the 30-30 or the 300 BO produce enough velocity for it to open up on game?
It's a fine bullet for the 30-06 and 300 magnums for sure.
