I got the opportunity to go on a friends archery bull hunt. First time for me to do this, tag along and help out. I learned alot but this was one of the most epic hunts I have ever been on. It was a ton of fun chasing bugles through the forest and watching them rake their racks. This one was the 3rd attempt to get on a bull. This time I dropped him off and drove around a mile on the other side where the meadow was because I knew he would chase them out of there if he spooks them, so I can get eyes on them if they ran out and radio in. Not long I got the radio and he said he stuck one. Drove back to the old logging road and hike into him. My buddy was worried about his 55 yard shot and showed right where he shot him. I looked down the narrow corridor of trees about a 100 yards down and the sun beaming on the body and antlers and said "dude your bulls right there" Hugs and congrats happen! Man that was fun!!! Sad its over. Gutted it out and drug it out into the open for some nice pics.

Congrats

Some of you have seen the build of my 6.5-270AI. The gun shoots great with 6.5 142 SMK R23 56g ----3,055fps Case Nosler .270 fire formed to 6.5 with 40 degree shoulder, CCI 250 primer Tikka .270 action 200 yard 0.709, MOA 0.35 Ive killed 1 deer and 1 antelope exceeding 400 yards 1 shot dirt naps with great results of the SMK. I have shot this rifle almost to the max of barrel life. I have a few hundred rounds to go before "suggested" life of the bartlin barrel. But my brass fire formed is about up and will need to fire form more brass. So I thought why not shoot a bunch of 25.06 rounds and go away from the .270 and then get a new barrel. (.270 you get the longer necks) The reason to go to the .25-06 is when fire formed I don't need to do any neck trimming for length and neck tuning while the .270 brass I had to turn the neck once and trim the neck almost after every time I shot it (that got annoying). Just lots of brass work to be done. Im just done with all the brass work. I just want to load and shoot! So I can fire form maybe a couple hundred 25-06 and then get a new barrel on and be ready for the new barrel and no wasted time and barrel life. Or------(the big debate Im having) I can just go ahead and shoot up the rest of the barrel and buy the new barrel and chamber for the .280AI. That way I can just buy the Nosler .280AI brass (less prep time that I like) and also feel pretty good for my elk hunts as well. I do have a 300 win mag though. On a side note I like 6.5s and always wanted a 6.5x55. So I can have the .280AI and also get and work on a fun 6.5x55. But I also would like to see what the 6.5.270 can do with the TMK or the 146 matrix Help me choose! Which one and why??? Here is that rifle!

You have the golden hand!!! You are more then welcome to come on my hunts :). As for spending to much time doing it, I say if you are bonding more time with family and friends because of it that is the best gift you can have. Sadly Ive met hunters who actually quit their jobs because they couldnt get time off to go on their deer hunt. Mean while wife and kids are at home and dad quit his job so he can do what he wants and not provide for the family. Plus they didnt hunt. Thats to far for me. But man oh man if you have the family on board what a door it opens up for you and to spend awesome time together. Congrats on awesome bucks and to your kids, friends, and wifes huge buck!!

Yeah he was probably home last week all depressed and said "Ive done every rifle what more can I do" Now this just came along and gave him reason for life again

A&M is awesome!! Just a couple other Mexican joints that are alright. Plus you got the cheap Burger King there too. NOt saying much though

Sorry 1 million dollars! Im a retard

So your telling me each living wolf is worth 10 million dollars?? Yeah if you encounter them and hurt them, killed, hit with a car I would shut up about it. What a waste of money!!

I got a nice built 6.5 creedmoor from Eric at Axis. Sadly I've been focus on other stuff and shot it with factory rounds and haven't made a load yet. Plus I need to get a new scope for it. I hope the gun gods don't strike me down for dragging my feet

Ive read they are about the same powder volume after the swede is AI. But shooting it I would like to hear.

I like it. Tikkas are long action anyways. Never did much with my 300 anyways

Stomp 442 on the forum

If you don't like the way others believe in life no reason to get upset. Just go through life and find the good, and most of all enjoy family and hunting.

If i remember correctly if you read all 7 pages I don't think anyone knocks their faith. But I do understand from a work point though. People believing something better for their life, family, faith, and just goodness should be promoted. Regardless on ones feelings.

Not setting the die will give me a longer neck or maintain the shoulder datum. The 6.5-06 resizing die will only resize the neck of a 6.5-06 length. If I don't shave the holder down I have a 6.5-06 neck size with last 1/8 of the neck length not resize. To get the full length of the neck size properly I need to shave the shell holder for the .270 brass. Now when I bump the shoulder back "0.002 :)" it increases neck length almost every time. Everybody says it shouldn't do that but it does for me. Another reason I want to give up with the .270 brass.

I feel very proud and grateful that my 10% goes to help others and build the church. Do what you do and worship the way you want to worship but you won't hear me knocking on the way you want to believe and worship. Can you say JERK..........SERIOUS......................ZEKE!!!

Yeah we measured the thickness and according to spec it needed to me necked down. After I bump the shoulder back .02 back stretches the brass neck longer. I measure every time. There aren't that many 6.5-270s just the 6.5-06. (just wanted something different) I still use the 6.5-06AI die but to fit the longer neck of the .270 you have to shave the shell holder down.

Man not much help right now
