Finally got him back and on the wall. Took a while, but the results are outstanding.

I had a decent buck show up out at Joe Foss Shooting Complex a couple months ago. He was just hanging out on the main range, and would not leave. I ran out and finally herded him off the range so we could start shooting.

Thank you. 2.188" in my 6.5SLR fits in a factory mag box, and gets 2800fps w. 140s.

With BH209, 2600+fps.

And what is your FB and CBTO?

Should archery hunts be limited to 40 yard shots? For some people, absolutely. But equipment has changed, practiced archers are out there, and I hear of 100 yard shots. Muzzleloaders have changed. A 600 yard ML is quite common. Rifles have changed. 1000+ shots are common. Rangefinders, optics, packs, vehicles, etc. have all upped the game. Hard to draw the line. Cams have already been outlawed. No need to push MORE regs. Self control is where we need to push ourselves.

It is allowed on a rifle hunt.

I thought, technically, a hunting license is considered written permission to be on STL.

You guys would complain if they hanged you with a new rope....jeez. Don't like it? Don't buy a raffle ticket. No need to $#!+ on the post of a great organization who does more for wildlife than 99.9% of you. These Axisworks built .45 Cal MLs shoot like this...

Had enough to cause a 10" puddle on my driveway Wednesday midday.

I thought about a 2-step process with a separate throating reamer if all else fails.

I have a 140 Hyb seated where I think I want it. Fits in a Wyatt's extended box or Accurate mag with a bit of room to spare. I have that CBTO measurement. But I have to see what reamers are available for varying FB (.060", .120", .180", etc.), or else I need to get a custom reamer made to my specs. I am willing to compromise a bit on FB, but I know I want more than the standard .060". I just want to verify what CBTO is for the standard .060" FB reamer before I make my decision. Different lead and throats make a difference in actual CBTO touching the lands with different bullets. 6.5CM w. 140 BMB .260 Rem case 6.5SLR w. 130 OTM .260AI w. 140 Hyb (with long FB)

I figure if I can get 2900fps w. 140 Hybs, I will be happy. This is going to be mainly a steel ringer/practice rifle....but you know how that goes. That means it will probably be going on hunts in the near future. Not the absolute lightest build, but should come in around 10-10.5#. Lone Peak Fuzion TI w. Wyatt's extended box (2.980" OAL) 24" 1:7.5" Bartlein M24 w. TBAC CB brake Thunderbeast Ultra 7 (or my new Dominus whenever ATF decides to set it free) Manners PRS2 (I have two waiting: One in BDL that was on the previous build, one in DBM w. Accurate mags waiting for my new build) Timney CE Either putting the S&B PMII 5-20x50US back on it, or a ZCO 4-20x50. Undecided which way to go. Depends on if the S&B US fits on the new Defiance AnTi I am building.

I got a case of Winchester AA #8 shot 20ga shells about 3 weeks ago. It was the ONLY case Cabela's had, and I was shocked it was sitting there all by itself.

Yes. As long as it is only in the "Payment" section. I apply for 7 people, and always use my billing info and card.

What length barrel? Mine is a 24" 1:7.5" Bartlein M24 CF.

That is like $300 worth of lumber alone!

Well....did you "get acquainted"?

Freaking Biden.

They had H1000 last week, but sold out. Haven't had Retumbo in about a month or two, and it was gone immediately when they did have it. They had not had it in pretty much a year.

My personal method for breaking in a factory barrel: 1. Load up 6-10 at a medium light charge weight for sighters/foulers. Load up 15-21 rounds in 3 round groups .5gr apart. Go to the range, sight in, and shoot the charge weight test loads for groups. 2. Clean after that range trip. 3. Pick the best charge weight load and Load up seating depth test loads, usually 5-6 course seating loads, 3 each at .020" deeper seating depths. Go shoot those for groups. 4. Load up the best of the seating depth, maybev15ish, and go shoot at distance. 5. Clean barrel. 6. Load up 100 or so, and have at it. Clean when groups open up. Maybe 50, maybe 500. My personal method for breaking in a custom barrel: 1. Shoot one 2. Repeat

SPF to Bucks&Bulls

Need to get $55/# for these, what I paid. 2# of unopened H4198, purchased this year. Or trade for 1k Fed GM215M.

Thanks for the clarification.
