STOMP442

Burris signature zee rings. Cost about $60 and no lapping required and the plastic inserts allow you to add cant to your scope without the added cost of a rail.

Bump. Open to offers on the mini or trade for a bolt gun anything interesting. May even be interested in a nice rim fire in 17 HMR.

There is a guy that sells them over on accurate shooter but I don't remember his name. A McDonald's straw works pretty good though.

Cyber Monday bump. Bench rest is now $250 and Ruger Mini 14 $550.

Cyber Monday bump and price drop. $75 shipped in state.

Like new. Only used it on a couple hunts; no blood stains, no rips, no tears. Asking $75

I might I would have to look.

788 barrels and 700 7mm barrels sold.

Idk but it's pretty large.

Yes it's on there just hard to see.

Rem 700 .308 and .250 Savage barrel are SPF.

250 Savage is a sporter contour. Gloss Blue. Burris 2-7 is SPF

Both Weaver scopes are sold pending funds.

Both for sporter barrels. Ugly dude: it came off of a rifle so I doubt it.

Tikkas are about as simple as it gets. I have built a few of them and all shoot great.

38.0gr of H380 and your choice of 52-55gr bullet and go hunting. It's not called H380 for nothing. IMR4064 has also always given me great results.

probably just one of those dirty hippie environmentalists.

Range Report: First off my rifle hated this powder. Not sure why but I worked up loads from 47.0 through 48.5gr in half grain increments and the best five shot group I got was about an inch and a half. I never put the magneto speed on because I always look for accuracy first. I am not a speed freak and don't really care how fast it's going as long as it shoots good. I was a little disappointed as I was really hoping to see some good results with this combo. Guess I will have to stick with the Bergers and Reloader 16. I did, however, have a client bring me a brand new Savage Model 10T to mount a scope and work up a load for this weekend. Since I have eight pounds of this stuff I thought I would give it a try in his rifle as well and see how it would do. I did the same work up from 47.0 grains up to 48.5 in half grain increments in new Nosler brass with CCI primers and the 147gr Hornady ELD-M set with 25 thou jump. Overall length was 2.873" and still had plenty of room to fit the mag. The first five shots out of the gun gave a nice 3/4" group and they just got tighter as I went up in charge weights. 48.5 grains gave me a nice group at just over a half inch. Not bad for a factory rifle with literally zero break-in and very little load development. So I went home and loaded 20 more rounds to send through the Magneto speed and see what kind of performance I was getting. A 10 shot average gave me 2860 fps and a single digit SD of 8. Not too shabby. So with 10 rounds left to shoot I put the wife behind the trigger and plugged my ballistic info into my applied ballistics app to see how it would do at longer ranges. I had her dial up for the 600 yard gong and send one, nice solid hit about two inches right of center. 800 yard gong which is probably about the size of a sheet of paper same thing. On to the 1000 yard plate. The wind got her on the first shot and pushed just left. She made a correction and proceeded to put four shots into about a 4" group at 1000 yards. It was very impressive. So, all in all, it looks like Reloader 26 is a viable powder in the creed and does yield some impressive velocities and accuracy with the 147 ELD-M. Tried to post some pictures but I keep getting an error

I just picked up an 8lb keg of 26 this week. I am going to load up some 147s and see what it does for me in my 24" Shilen.

I have been reading really good things about this powder in the Creedmoor. I think best results are with heavier bullets though. Depending on barrel length you should be able to push a 147 Hornady up around 2900fps. There is not much data out there available so you will have to start low and work up.

Beautiful bear Brandon! Congrats.

have you tried rubbing a bit of chapstick around your eyes and cheeks where the irritation occurs? easy to apply and shouldn't attract much dirt and you can add more as needed.

I doubt it, but it could be a parallax issue. Have you tried doing any load development at 200?

Have you checked the rim thickness and diameter on the Hornady brass vs the Nosler? I am with Lance on this, Hornady brass is just awful. I hate it almost as much as I hate Vortex Optics and that's a lot of hate. Could be something as simple as the Savage extractor just slipping off the case. They are known for having pretty weak extraction and you can fix it with a new oversized detent ball to give it a tighter grip. If Nosler brass is working fine then I would go ahead and use that. Nosler is much better brass and once you get your load tuned up in it you will be much better off.
