    55 grain BT in 8 Twist .243

    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...

    Leupold Vari-X 2.5-8 adjustments

    They may just send you a new one - which would be just fine! :) Guy

    LEOSA Retired Officer Qual today

    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...

    LEOSA Retired Officer Qual today

    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.

    NEEDS SAYING

    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...

    Leupold Vari-X 2.5-8 adjustments

    Also - I think it was famous hunter & gun-writer Finn Aagaard who was so fond of the 2.5-8x Leupold when it was introduced back in the 1980's. I owned one for a while, then silly me, I sold the rifle and scope! Thought it was probably the best all-around hunting scope I'd ever used. Guy

    Leupold Vari-X 2.5-8 adjustments

    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. Guy

    Cheap .30cal Heavyweights

    If that is the good old 220 gr RNSP Hornady... At that price, it's a bargain!

    Cheap .30cal Heavyweights

    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. Guy

    Couple of Hornady 7mm Bullets

    Congrats on your hunts and thank you for showing us those bullets. ELD-X sure expands well out there at nearly 600... Guy

    And yet another 45 Super

    Cool. I think one of my 45 ACP Kimbers might end up becoming a Super... :) Guy
