Three of us (gbarcom, hynoon, and myself) delivered 1750 gallons for the deer and other wildlife. The quail could barely wait for us to leave, they were coming down as we were getting in our trucks after the 1st run. The deer were literally waiting for us, this little spike came to within 15' of AZGFD as he was waiting for us. AZGFD with the 1000 gallons for the refill AZGFD had these little portable drinkers up there, so we filled them too.

I kinda got invited by force....because I have keys to the gates!

Any suppressor. I can't believe I didn't get into them sooner. Total gamechanger for hunting.

I added Colthutton. Good to go. Item is as described, good price, quick to respond.

Great meeting you. Thanks for the tripod. Buy with confidence. Good seller. Wish I had the cash for the 10x42EL Range.

Crush a couple hogs Andrew. You better keep me up to date.

$1.50/per for 9mm ammo???? Come on man. I am all for a bit of profit, but dang.

Good luck to all the late hunters. Be safe, kill a brute, have a blast. Wish I had a tag.

Love mine too. Great tent. I have had mine about 6 years I think.

Good price. If I wouldn't have just bought a Holosun 507C for my G19X, I would be all over this.

Factory Glock night sights. Came off my G19x. I went with suppressor height to cowitness through the Holosun 507C. $50 FTF or you pay shipping. North Central Phoenix, I-17 & Bell area.

Sold to El Diablo

I have a 17 year old GSP that could be for sale at the right price. Doesn't run around like a wild man (too old to run away) , takes hand signals (he is deaf), stays on point on a bird or rabbit (has cataracts so he doesn't see them leave), doesn't bark at everything that moves (deaf and half blind), very calm (sleeps most of the time), good with other dogs and kids (again, sleeps all the time), not an ounce of fat on him. $16999.99

So, last month, a buddy sent me a video of a "world record" shot with open sites. 2200+ yards with open sites on a 36"×48" steel. On shot #64, he hit the steel. We started a discussion, and in my opinion, I said I thought quite a few good shooters that had an accurate rifle with good hand loads had a decent chance at hitting a 36"×48" target at a mile (1760 yards) in 64 shots. Well, he called me on it. Gave me 5 to 1 odds I can't do it. I said, "$100?" "As in $100 to $500?" was his reply. Yep. So the bet is on. I called up my Dad, who has his old Winchester made M1917 Enfield that was his target rifle back at ASU when he was on the rifle team. .30-06, 26" 1:10" left hand twist. Has a rear ladder aperature sight with elevations out to 1600 meters. That was with the .30 M1 ball ammo. Which is not what I plan to use. Went and bought 100pcs of new Remington .30-06 brass and will begin brass prep shortly. Weight sort (hope to get at least 75 pieces), trim, chamfer, primer pocket uniform, flash hole deburr, FL size, tumble and anneal. I have been looking at ballistics, and I think I am set on using 210 HVLD or 215 Hybrids. Should be able to get 2500+ fps, which will have less drop and drift at 1700+ than a 180 started out at 2800fps. These will be going transonic at about 1480 yards, so stabilization beyond that might get iffy. Only about 1752" (95.1 MOA) of drop at 1760 yards though....an inch per yard.....huh. 37" of spin drift with zero wind too. I have a few thousand Fed GM210M and CCI BR-2. Still looking at powder choices. I want consistent, not necessarily best speeds. Not a lot of info out for the .30-06 & 210+ bullets. Any suggestions are appreciated. I have a BUNCH of different choices. Varget, H4350, H4831, H1000, etc. Once I get a load worked up (which will be fun in itself), then, he and I will be going out for a day of LR shooting to settle this. Not sure of the outcome, but sure should be fun to attempt. Need to get a piece of 36"×48" 1/4" mild steel to hang too. He is going to go hang that sucker, not me. Anyone else ever tried anything like this? I shoot 1760+ a bit each year, but with accurate scoped rifles.

Snap-on? Whoo! Got us a high roller here!

If it is shooting well, and you have had good luck with it, why change? If it ain't broke, don't fix it. You will read about failures with any bullet you can think of. In all honesty, bullet failures are a rare percentage. And probably 90% of the "failures" are shooter failure rather than bullet failure. Also, right now, with the scarcity of primers, powder, and some bullets, be conservative with your supplies.

This was almost 3 years ago....

Don't do it!!!

The differences between the hunting VLDs and the Target Hybrids are twofold. The nose profile of the VLDs are a secant ogive design. They can be sensitive to jump, and need a bit of tuning to shoot their best. The Hybrids are a hybrid design between a secant and tangent ogive shape. Easier to tune, and not nearly as jump sensitive. The jacket thickness between the hunting and target bullets is the other difference. The target bullets have a slightly thicker jacket than the hunting lines. To me, that translates to them holding together a touch better on impact. The 215 Hybrids are probably one of the best .30 cal bullets you could use for a hunting rifle in my opinion and experience if you can push and spin them fast enough. I have heard of people using them in .308Win, but I think they are much better suited for the .300WSM/.300WM and up capacity cases.

Nice 5x bull. 🤣 Good shot placement Sean. I remember the story well. 210s did not perform for you. Multiple well paced shots. Across a vast chase. Glad you finally anchored him. Sean is good people. Tim is good people.

Depends on how fast you run them. I shoot the 215 and 230s in my .300RUM @ 3100+. Have 1st round hits on coyotes out to 1365.

Excellent. From coyotes to Coues to Mulies to black bears to bull elk to moose.

Amazing story! Thanks for the photo. That is a great trophy.

Sectional density, higher BC for retained energy on game at distance, retained bullet weight on game after expansion.

.338WM is a case the same size as the 7RM. I sure wish it was a .300WM case size. .338WM, to push a 250gr bullet, really suffers in velocity. A 300 grain bullet is even slower. Making a .300WM pushing a 230 a much more viable option for LR shooting.
