Tikka 7-08 stainless and fluted (new) $650
Big or Bust replied to no worries's topic in Classified Ads
FYI, if it's fluted it's a superlite. If it's a superlight it has a 22 1/2" tube ... Great price. Great rifle. I have 2. -
brass resize for bolt guns 6.5 creedmoor
Big or Bust replied to Tac's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
I FL everything that I hunt with and set my dies up for minimal shoulder working. If you've ever tried to kill something and couldn't chamber because of the shoulder not being slightly bumped back...... -
Where are you located?

With a wait that's creeping up from threads like this. Grin.... I prolly got to wait a month more now.

This is a relist from last year - Remington 700 blueprinted action, old style Remington trigger tuned to 2.5 pounds (great trigger), 24" Brux # 3 barrel twisted 1:8. Stock is 13 1/2" LOP and is a lightweight MPI stock. Weighs approximately 6 3/4 pounds as you see it in photos. Rifle balances well and shoulders great. Throat and box is factory. Plenty of room to chase lands. I sent the barreled action to Eddie Fosnaugh last year along with the stock to work his magic. He did his world famous bedding job along with his world famous ceracote and stock painting. Ceracote is graphite black. Stock is patriot brown with black speckles. Rifle after painting has a textured feel. A few minor scuffs on the stock, bolt from working it, and some very light finish specs on the end of barrel are the only imperfections I can find, neither can be captured in photos. Included Redding 2 piece die set, Talley 1" lows, and 50 brand new .25-06 Winchester brass (10 or so already necked up). No neck turning required. Run .25-06 brass through the 6,5-06 FL die set and presto... $1,400 for entire package - A thrown together load with no workup shot well under MOA at 350 yards last weekend.

Which factory ammo to extend range/accuracy of my .270?
Big or Bust replied to Viper's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
Run a 7mm something? 😂 Sorry.... -
No such thing in 36A, relatively speaking...grin....

Lots of deer in 36A. As others have mentioned its the age class.... There is country you can hunt that hold coues that you can get away from the roads/folks, but it takes effort as well as creativity.... Generally speaking any elevation above 3,000 -, 3,200 in that unit will hold coues. This is likely true for about any southern unit but in some units it is much lower...

300wm, 212 ELD-X or 215 Berger Hybrid???
Big or Bust replied to metau's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
With that case and those BC's, I wouldn't worry much about obtaining maximum velocities. I'd run the bullet that is most accurate in your rifle with your powder of choice.... -

With a 38" barrel?

Don't get the recommendation for a fire breather intended for extra long range hunting and justifying it because of extended barrel life since the shooter only intends to shoots very, very little. A cartridge with long range capability doesn't make up for a lack of practice. If you're gonna shoot long ranges proficiently, especially in a hunting situation, you gotta burn primers. I just don't get the mindset. I'd build a SAUM at the top end and run 130's at 3200. They don't lose hardly anything to the 140's until waaay out there, low recoil, good barrel life, etc. Win, win, win...
