    6.5 creedmoor seater die advice

    Hi guys, starting to work up loads in my daughter's 6.5 creed for her oryx hunt in february (just found out she's going). Currently working with 140 accubond and 143 eldx and rl 26. Using a hornady seating die, the die is deforming (crimping) the tips of the bullets on heavily compressed...

    Sauer Model 100

    Anyone have any experience with these? Seen them on the shelves at sportsman's but not at the range or in the field. Seem to be similar to tikka in design and target audience. Not much info out there. The cherokee or attacama models are of interest to me. Anybody shot one?

    So Far So Good...

    Got 2016 off to a good start! My 16 year old was contacted by game and fish for a population management hunt for persian ibex in the Florida mountains of southern New Mexico. We were pretty excited about the call, this is hands down the most difficult hunt new mexico has to offer, extremely...

    Summer time blues

    My little huntin buddy Mckenna invited me to go oryx hunting with her and her dad the other day, couldn't say no to that. It's been a little on the warm side for hunting but sure beats sweating at the house! Saw plenty of oryx, even a couple very nice specimens, these things can be tough and...

    SPS has ballistic tip MZ blems (you know, the ones that appeared in their spiffy new for 2013 catalogue?) Bought a few, will shoot some tests against the hornady sst's and shockwaves I've been using with blackhorn 209 when they arrive, wish I could have tried em on my bull this year, maybe I...

    6mm Solid Base

    Hi guys, found a box of 85 grain solid base boat tails the other day. I have had good luck with these bullets in heavier weights/calibers, and I have a stash of 100 grainers in 6mm that I plan to start working with in my 240wby. Question is where do the 85 grainers rate for toughness? I've...

    280/160 partition suggestions

    Hey guys, struggling with the 160 partitions in my 280. Been getting very good accuracy and velocity using imr 7828 and various other brands of bullets (speer 160 boat tails, hornady 162's and sierra 160 hpbt) but everything goes way bad in the accuracy dept. if I try 160 partitions (or...

    Darn Kids

    That time of year again, my youngest boy recently passed his hunter safety and was chomping at the bit. Due to class timing he wasn't eligible for the draw this year but dad managed to find him a left over java tag, he's been raring to go since september. Spent the fall practicing with great...

    NM Ibex

    Thought I would post a couple pics from the ibex hunting this year. My young friend McKenna (9years old) drew an either sex tag for the youth hunt in september, and I was lucky enough to draw a female/immature tag for october. I've taken several female ibex in the past and have knocked several...

    B&C Stocks

    Anyone have any experience with the Bell and Carlson ultralight stocks? Thinking about grabbing one for a rem 700 SA. Anyone know if they are "trimmer" than the regular carbelite stocks? I may be weird but I actually like the dimensions on the plastic stocks from remington, just want...

    6MM Ackley Qestion

    Found a 6mm improved at a gunshop today. It's a rebarrelled ruger No 1. Pretty interesting rig. Barrel manufacturer and gunsmith are unknown. I've never loaded for any of the improved chamberings. I have read that bolt actions should have the barrel set back a thread to provide a crush fit...

    Cougar Load Project

    May have the chance to hunt Mt Lion with an outfitter friend this winter, will be hunting over dogs so long range performance isn't an issue. I have a ruger #1A in 30-06 that has not been seeing much use lately, thinking about scoping it out with a leupold 1-4x20 and working up some 30-30 type...

    So where is it?

    About a year ago I told my little 243 she was getting some new accubonds. I told her if she ate all her sierras and spanked some yotes and a big ol stinky antelope for me she could have all the pretty little white tipped bullets she wanted. She's done everything I asked and more, even waiting...
