Bump

$150 ?

How about $160

Bump

Generally that should not be a problem but you could always anneal the necks first. Necked up brass can sometimes form a "donut" of thicker brass at the base of the new neck. This can be created if the brass in the sloped shoulder area of the case is thicker than the brass in the neck as small part of the shoulder ends up at the bottom of the new neck. That can be cured by neck turning or reaming if needed.

It changes every few years but right now it's a 6.5-06 Accurate and good in the wind.

Congrats & well done!

You mention that this was sporterized... is there a new stock on it that does not allow the cutoff lever to rotate all of the way downward past the bolt release middle position?

The lever on the side is a magazine cut off which will not allow shells to feed from the magazine when in the on position. Sounds like something may be miss-adjusted there. Derrick should be able to diagnose it easily.

8.2 pounds

6.5 123AMAX from a coues buck last week. impact velocity about 2450 FPS (430 yards). Not much weight left but did not shed the core.

Congrats on a great deer and family hunt.

Put a heavier scope and steel bottom metal on mine and it's feeling porky at 8.4 pounds.

I'd want to consider the bullet construction vs. expansion velocity window for each at your intended range. If equal, on to step 2. Are you talking just the best group for each load or some large number of groups average? What range? If statistically sound, on to step 3. You could cross check the MOA difference in wind drifts at the max range you wish to shoot and see if its greater than the 0.14 MOA grouping difference. I'd expect it is. Or I would would just flip a coin and go kill stuff as from field positions you'll never discern 0.14 MOA (1.4 inches at 1000 yards). It's easy to get wrapped around the axle with this stuff... :-) Sounds like a keeper though!

Hope you can make it. Just returned from my coues hunt or I would have responded earlier.

Hunters, Phoenix Rod and Gun Club is having a Hunting Rifle Shoot on Sunday Nov 13th, 8:00AM, please arrive early for set up. Cost is $15 for non club members, $10 for members. We will be shooting animal targets ranging from coyotes or javelina to deer, bear and antelope from 100 to 400+ yards from field positions, some with time or other constraints. There will be several different stages with fewer than 35 rounds fired. You can use different rifles (hunting type of appropriate caliber) for different stages if you wish. This isn't intended as a shooting match but rather an opportunity to practice with your hunting gear and techniques in field conditions. Bring anything you would use on a hunt and nothing you wouldn’t. It will be at the PRGC High Power Range. PRGC is at the southern end of 7th AVENUE (not street) up against the mountain. HP is accessed at the gate to the left at the back of the public range parking lot. For additional info see: http://arizona-rifle... ... -PRGC.html Hope to see you there. Feel free to post or PM with questions Mike Samer Hunting Rifle Shoot Director

Bump for a shoot November 13th. Come out and get a little practice in before your late season hunts. Starts at 8, arrive by 7:30 for set up.

Big congrats and thanks for sharing.

Great shooting, hopefully you didn't just jinx yourself...

Have a great one!

My first guess would be that the bullet wasn't pushed all the way down to the powder when loading...

Pretty sure I used him 10 years go for an antelope and was very satisfied. Need to call ahead as they had limited freezer space.

.270 and a strong bullet.

I asked a similar question while buying a lion tag in person at the old AZGFD Greenway Ave office. I was specifically asking if it was a problem if I had the tag and a rifle on my brothers deer hunt. I was told that this is Arizona, I could carry a rifle whenever I wanted outdoors and I wouldn't even need a lion tag to do so on my brothers hunt. If I remember correctly the AZGFD person was was Tice Suplee and she went on to a discussion on how good lion meat was...

Great binos. I used a set for several years.
