    6.5 Creedmoor Howa 1500 for sale

    This rifle comes with your choice of a Nikon or Burris scope. This is what the BDC's look like zeroed at 100 yds with Hornady 143 ELD-X ammo.

    I am in N Phoenix and you can get it without a scope, with the Burris scope pictured or with the Nikon scope pictured.

    Looking for new hunting rifle caliber

    270 Winchester or 280 Remington, if you fell the need for a magnum then 7mm Rem or 300 Winchester.

    Gunwerks law suit

    Hornady is also a great company when it comes to innovation. Two of my favorites are the 270WIN 140SST Superfprmance ammo and the Precision Hunter line of ammo with long for caliber high BC bullets. I love the concept of loading the 270 with 145 gr, 280 150 gr, 280AI 162 gr and 06 178 gr bullets. Vortex also came up with an awesome new product, the Diamondback Tactical line is perfect priced for affordable NRL22 match shooting.

    Factory Ammo

    Dang 1:11 twist seems slower than I would expect. Federal Fusion ammo has been accurate for me in several calibers out of a number of rifles 243/270/6.5C. Factory ammo does shoot well giving you sub MOA in decent rifles. Bear in mind that because higher ES & STD (exterm spread & higher standard deviations) out to 500/600 your accuracy starts to fail because of the velocity deviations.

    Shooting baned on some national forests

    https://www.fs.fed.us/rm/pubs/rmrs_rp104.pdf Turns out solid copper bullets are the worst offenders when it comes to starting fires. Here is a link to research done on how bullets cause wild fires.

    Leave No Trace

    When we leave a camp you would be hard pressed to find any trash, its just the ethos I was raised with. On the flip side I always leave my fire pit intact, run an efficient fire so in the AM when we drown out the embers and coals its mostly just ash. Never could figure why scatter nice wood you worked hard to collect. But heck where we go when we come back a year latter nothing has been used or disturbed, nice not to have to rebuild fire pit every year.
  10. I would not expect a factory loaded round to engage the lands on a factory barrel.

    Talk me out of this

    Times have changed, for my backpack hunting its been a REM mod 7 7-08 with a small 3-9 scope. More recently I have hunted with a REM 700 action in a carbon fiber stock with 24 inch skinny Lilja in 270 win and the smaller Swarovski 3-9 scope. The REM 700 is a light action and another thought is 280AI with a quality 22 inch barrel (not the skinniest or CF barrel) in a CF stock with a 1 inch scope up to 15 power.
  12. I did two deployments to Misawa Japan flying Navy P3Cs, Misawa was hands down the best Air Base short of maybe a few in Western Europe. ** FLY NAVY land AF **

    4.5 million people in maricopa county

    It's not nuthin, but then again its time to strategerize the best methods for opening up businesses. Distancing, masks and hand cleanliness the watch words. Also how to keep the older & vulnerable free from exposure.

    22 LR build suggestions

    Last two years I have been competing in small bore silhouette, NRL22 matches, 22 benchrest and assundry other 22 matches. I love my KIDD 10/22's but its a semi. I have two CZ 455's and one shoots a bit better than the other. When its all said and done the Tikka T1X is your best bet, consistently seen them to be very accurate and reasonably priced.

    Effects of the virus scare?

    Just listen to NPR Public Radio. I listened to a segment that blamed minority Corona deaths on Americas "embedded racism" so don't get snarky its a continuation of the left/progressive theme that we are all racist, which is bull and I for one am fed up with it.

    Newbie Here - Need Any Unit 21 AZ Elk Advice

    Looking at the unit map I can tell you what I would start looking at. Having gone after Elk in AZ and UT I would look for them in the Juniper /grassy zones and higher. Figure out where the highest N&E facing terrain is within the unit. At that time of year my guess is any resident Elk will be where they can get cool mid day (wooded NE slopes) and are close to feed and water. Good luck.

    Confused

    Your variation in the length to ogive looks normal and I have found that COAL does vary some, this was my experience loading 270W with 140 Bergers.
