Find any deer?

My one and only DEC tag buck. Unit 30A 2010.

65 grain sierra game king,

Never ever had a problem with them. They are the best bullet money can buy as far as im concerned. They have extremely high b.cs that make them ideal for us coues hunters looking to buck the wind on a cross canyon shot. Terminal performance is oustanding and more often than not the animals will drop where they stand.

Absolutely. These are great rifles for the money and boyds stocks just released 3 stocks custom inlet for the axis. No more flimsy plastic stock and the ability to add a heavier contour barrel.

A 243 fits the bill then. If you do decide to get one I would recommend finding a rifle with at least a 9 twist to better stabilze the high b.c bullets for deer. Might also look into the 260 remington. 85-140 grain bullets offer a lot of versatility as well.

What are you currently using for a coyote set up? The 243 works great but I prefer using at least an 85 grain bullet to maximize the potential of the caliber.

That 6.5 is a beast and one heck of an accurate rifle. Nice to see it racking up some kills. Great pics and stories on these hunts and a couple nice bucks to boot.

Berger lists a max load of 45.3 for H4831 and 48.4 for H1000. 44.5gr of H4831 is what my gun likes with a 95 grain sierra match king. Savage model 10 with 9.25 twist.

Get the Burris signature zee rings. They come with 10 moa inserts just in case you need to add a little and they are the best rings made.

Bump.

Selling for a friend. Brand new never fired Savage 270 win barrel, 22" black matte finish small / standard shank. Asking $50 Also have a new synthetic stock LA CF blind mag. $25

Ah to many to choose but it will probably be the 6.5-06 Ackley improved that I recently built. Winchester model 70 26" E.R.Shaw fluted barrel Redfield revenge 6-18 140 Berger vld 59.0gr H4831 Velocity = 3180 fps Five shot group at 800 yards at 3"

The 65 grain game king would be my deer bullet.

My savage model 12 varmint and savage axis both have 12 twist barrels and I can shoot the 69 grain match king into 3/4" groups at 200 yards and they stabilize fine out to 800 yards with 35.5 grains of reloader 17 and 3300 fps. With that said the new 53 grain Vmax has a b.c. of .290 and can be launched over 3700 fps with the same accuracy and 36 grains of IMR 4064. Bigger may not be better but it all depends on what you are wanting to do and the twist rate of your rifle.

Staggered long action stock SPF to prdatr.

No the easy way to tell is take the rifle out of the stock. If the magazine box is attached to the action it is a staggered feed. If the magazine box stays in the stock it is a center feed. I still have both versions available.

Green stock SPF to kazpilot25

OK here is what I had squirreled away. Two on the left are short action center feed stocks $25 for the black one and $35 for the black one with silver webbing. The olive green with black webbing is a long action center feed asking $40 for that one SPF. The one on the right is from a pawn shop donor rifle long action staggered feed it has been used and has some Knicks and scratches in it but nothing real serious. Asking $20 bucks for this one SPF. All prices plus shipping. Interested parties please post in thread which one you want then pm me with shipping and payment info. Thanks.

I rarely get to the valley so shipping works best for me. I might have a staggered feed stock someplace, like I said I've got a few squirled away I will have to go through them and see what I have and list them here.

I've got plenty of stocks. This one is for a center feed action but from what I understand some light work with a dremel on the magazine area will allow for the staggered to work. I think I have 3 more synthetic stocks around. I am located in safford

Length of barrel and type of primers used is probably the least important information in a load manual. Doesn't matter what barrel length they tested loads in all that matters is what length of barrel you have. Same with primers. Just because a load manual says they used a federal 210 primer doesnt mean thats the only primer you can use. All loads should be worked up slowly and safely regardless of what the data says.

Sounds like the chamber needs polished and also inspect your extractor. Sometimes there can be some brass built up in there that causes it not to work properly and cause extraction issues.

As far as recoil goes. The 260 Remington 6.5 creedmoor and 6.5x47 all have about the same case capacity and recoil very similar to the 243. The 6.5-284 has a bit more kick I would say closer to the 7-08 than the 308. The standard 6.5-06 is essentially the same as the 6.5-284 but the Ackley version kicks it up a notch with recoil very similar to the 270 win. Of course all this depends on stock shape rifle weight and type of recoil pad used. A good recoil pad can effectively reduce recoil by a good margin.

A 6.5 gives you everything your looking for. Absolutely great long range ballistics and really not a whole lot of recoil with any of them. Since you have a long action I would go with a long action chambering to maximize performance. The 6.5-284 is a great caliber with forgiving recoil and like sjvcon said the 6.5-06AI is just bad a$$ and produces recoil very similar to the 270. The 6.5 creedmoor and 260 Remington are fantastic cartridges as well but are really out classed by the larger 6.5s. The 25-06 is a fantastic cartridge as well and will provide everything your looking for as well. People always say that the 25s lack bullet options but you can get bullets as light as 70 grains up to 120 grains which is really all you need to tackle the game you intend to hunt. I have found the 25s to kill with great authority despite there relatively light bullet weights. As far as deer go I feel the 25 is probably the ideal cartridge with its high velocity and reasonable ballistic performance. Yes there are better calibers and cartridges out there but its 25s and 6.5s for me.
