New Cartridge Load Development, Meet the 6SST
lancetkenyon replied to lancetkenyon's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
PRS is Hitting targets at various ranges from awkward positions in a short timeline with a limited number of rounds. Seeing impacts or missed gets your second shot off quickly without relying on a spotter to make your adjustment calls. A very repeatable and accurate rifle makes this easier. Faster high BC bullets helps this. A heavy rifle let's you see your own shots with much greater reduced recoil, and we all know heavy rifles are easier to shoot well. The 6SST is meant to do this in a true SA magaazine with the bullet seated no deeper than the shoulder junction. In reality, the 3200fps cap really limits the cases potential. But for a hunting round, using different powders, 3500+ is easily attainable. Even with the heaviest 6mm bullets out there like the 115 Berger, 115 DTAC, 125 Precision Ballistic, etc. this should be possible. Are there other rounds that can do this? Of course. But like the 6.5CM that has boomed that does the same thing as so many other 6.5mm cases, different options are a good thing. My new 6CM can push the 105 Hybrid to 3200fps too. But it is about max charge weight to-do so with H4350. But not anywhere in the same realm as the 6SST for pushing them way beyond that for a flat shooting hunting round. Which I think this cartridge will really shine at doing. How many guys like the .243AI or 6AI? Or 6-06AI? Or 6-.284, or......yeah, get the point? Not a new concept. Just a new way to get there. Without innovations and choices, we would all drive the same Chevy 1500...and who wants that??? -

Kimber mountain ascent rifle
lancetkenyon replied to recurveman's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
I have shot a few Kimber Mountain Ascent rifles. One was in .280AI. It shot fine. About .6MOA once load work was complete. As others have said, shooting a light rifle takes a lot more consistency to make them perform up to their ability. It is not the rifle, but the shooter. They are absolutely fantastic to carry in the mountains however. At 5lbs 10oz for the chambering you want, they are fine. Add Talley Lightweight rings and a light scope, you will be sub 8lbs all in. Maybe closer to 7lbs if you go really light. Now the .280AI.....what can I say. There has been a big boom in that round since Nosler started making headstamped brass. I love mine. Load something in a 160-180 grain bullet around 2850-3000, and you are good to shoot elk about as far as you would want with the light rifle. 700-800 easily. As long as YOU can shoot that far accurately. My .280AI is 8lbs 13oz all in. My lightest big game hunting rifle. Plenty heavy to shoot accurately, but light enough to comfortably carry it all day. About 1-1.5# heavier than yours will end up being. Leave one water bottle, or a sweatshirt out of your pack, and you will be packing the same weight as the Kimber. But I prefer a bit more weight gain to allow for a top end build and glass -

2018 AZ Coues Deer rifle hunt - Teaser alert

Check your POI after removing the can.... -
If 2 hours behind optics hurts your eyes, you need better optics for western hunting. I spend 10+ hours behind glass most days scouting and hunting with no eye fatigue.

Get high, glass down into the flats at first legal shooting light and last light. Seems like desert mulies like places where they are hard to see or get to. Meaning....all over....and away from roads.

I have about 600. I could spare 1-200.

*SOLD* Remington Sendero 264WM TACK DRIVER!
lancetkenyon replied to HNTNGUY's topic in Classified Ads
You are missing the chance to buy a tack driver with one of the best triggers, and 100 rounds of custom loaded ammunition that shoots in the low .2s. -
If you don't have time, I have an 11-87 or an 870 you are welcome to borrow. 3" chambers in each.

S&S Wall Systems. Aaron Simmons is a great person, even better drywall guy, and a fantastic 7 year sober Christian. Had to throw that out, as I am super proud of him for that accomplishment.

*SOLD* Remington Sendero 264WM TACK DRIVER!
lancetkenyon replied to HNTNGUY's topic in Classified Ads
I will vouch for this rifle. i still can't believe he is selling it. Absolute tack driver. I think round count is right about 65-70 at most. Seller is a bit of a nut case. -
FFP VS 2ND FP, POI change
lancetkenyon replied to CatfishKev's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
You are correct. Your click now adjusts point of impact 2.5" @ 1000 yards. Should have said 2.5", not 2.5 MOA. -
Call azelkhunter2. That guy is a deer guru.

Last one I saw was a few years ago in 7W too. Little bitty guy.

Dude....you never DOWNGRADE optics!

Why not just get 30mm rings and run them?

If they fit like a medium instead of an XL, I would have been all over these. I wear a medium in Kuiu, so these would probably be quite big on me. Smoking deal.
