AverageJoe Posted 22 minutes ago I would bet you will need way less than 64 to get it done as you are a good shooter with good fundamentals. Iron sights really arent much harder as long as you can see the target. IMO hitting once out of 64 isnt much of an accomplishment no matter what disctance you are shooting. My thoughts exactly. I figure 64 shots, even in a shotgun pattern, is pretty high odds.

I have a bunch of H414. Same exact burn rate as W760.

210 HVLD@ 2550 has like 240" less drop at 1760 than the 175 SMK @ 2850. I have run tons of numbers. The 175SMK was one of my initial choices.

Two years ago, we had an accidental discharge that was a close call on an elk hunt. I am always extremely safe with firearms, but one second of distraction can end up tragically. Luckily, the discharge did not happen 30nsecond earlier, or I would not be here. Also had a negligent discharge when I was a teen that almost cost me my life. And did cost the cousin of one of my best friends an butt kicking.

What size tires do they fit? 3/4 ton & medium truck?

Taylor and I will be headed up next week for a little photo hunting, varmint hunting, and squirrels if we can find any. Luckily....we have a cabin.

You can most definitely true velocity on Shooter according to drops.

New Rifle=$2000+tax Rail=$100+tax Plus 100 loaded rounds of custom loaded ammo with development for this specific rifle. $1800 is a smoking deal, even without the ammo.

Shooter has temperature corrections for both powder sensitivity and air density. As long as YOU input the info correctly.

That sucks. As Wildwoody said, is has been discussed all over the place about this guy ripping people off. Let me guess, Old Mexico sheep hunt? Call LE now. And a good lawyer.

Seller is GTG. I have dealt with him on several occasions.

I have loaded for a straight 6.5x55 Swede and a 6.5-.284 Norma. With 140s, I got 2900 from the Swede. And 3000 from the 6.5-.284 Norma. I would think the 6.5x55AI would match the 6.5-.284 Norma. But you will have 100 or more rounds down the pipe just in fire forming loads. What I have been doing with fire forming loads is same as regular load development. Do a load development and get a good shooting fire forming load, and once I get 25 or so fired cases, start on that load development too. Usually, out of 100, I have 50 or so cases left to fire form, but I load them up and use them for varmint hunting. And have 50 or so fired cases that are full power loads of twice fired brass for hunting. That way, you don't just shoot them to shoot them.

With approximately 85 different rifle powders and burn rates, from Hodgdon Lil' Gun to VV20N29, if you can't find the perfect powder in there, you are doing something wrong. Personally, I would worry about consistency of mixing powders, unless you did it one cartridge at a time to.make sure you got exactly the same amount of each in the case over and over. In other words, not worth the time and effort for me. I doubt you could ever tell the difference between two different powder blends on the burn chart.

Vortex is really good with CS. I would call them on Monday or email them, and dollars to donuts they ship you one out free of charge.

If you are offering me a Christmas gift, In that case, I accept.

This is my favorite CA the OP owns. In my opinion, it is the perfect factory setup for a deer/elk mountain rifle. Light, stiff, accurate, and awesome chambering.

LRI has made some awesome wooden stocks. But not like presentation grade. More like tactical shaped wood.

24B has cats...plenty of them. Shoot, 42 has a bunch of cats too.

We did a couple night calling sets. Freaking spooky. Especially how quiet cats are. Had a bobcat within 20' of me and never knew it until my brother literally screamed like a girl. Which almost caused me to crap myself. That was the last night set we made.

I had three guys ask for help in 7E, and five guys in 7W. I got photos from most of them with some decent bulls. Not my place to post them here, but they got it done.

Great barrel maker!

How bad does the brass show pressure? Ejector marks? Case head swipe? Loose primer pockets? Resize it and check the primer pocket. If the primer pocket is good and still fairly tight, reload it. I always run brass to the point of pressure in a ladder test. It is always fine as long as I stop on the first or second load that shows pressure. How sticky is the bolt? And was it with virgin brass? You could very well not have pressure on a once fired fire formed case with proper headspacing. To be honest, a 168 Berger @ 2940fps does not sound too hot in a .280AI. I run a 160 TMK @ 2991 and a 175 Berger @ 2975 with no pressure. I checked my load workup when I was trying 168 HVLDs over H4831, and I started @ 58.0 and did not hit pressure until I hit 59.5gr H4831. I know each rifle is different. What primers are you using? I use Fed GM210M, and not a magnum primer which will increase pressure and speeds.

Amazing rifle!!! Misprint on speed though, it is 3147fps. Shoots smooth, and extremely accurate. Built by Axisworks, what more needs to be said!
