STOMP442

I Believe I have one walnut BDL and I still have the Boyds ADL. Both long action I'm pretty sure.

Varget has never treated me well. No matter the cartridge it just doesn't shoot for me. IMR 4064 and H4895, however, have worked very well for me. 42.0gr of IMR 4064 under a Sierra 175gr bullet in the .308 has been a very consistent and accurate load in multiple rifles. Do yourself a favor and buy a reloading manual and read the front half. It will give you everything you need to know and the proper way to set things up to get started.

Located in Safford and looking to sell a couple things. 1. Old Savage 110 action flat back receiver .243 Win. This is an older model action but it has a new model 11 barrel installed with less than 100 rounds down the tube. Walnut stock, factory 3 screw trigger tuned to 2.5lbs, Burris Extreme steel bases, Burris signature zee rings and Redfield 6-18x40 Revenge scope. Asking $500 for the package or $300 for just the rifle. SOLD. 2. Stevens model 77 pump action 20 gauge with adjustable choke. Nice little shotgun, very clean and works flawlessly. $200

Bump. Nice shotgun still looking for a good home.

My suggestion would be to stick with the 7mm since you already have all the stuff. Truth be told unless you plan on shooting extended ranges and doing so with bullets over 200gr you or the animals you kill with it will never know the difference.

Bump and price drop on the Nikon glass.

I have one used factory synthetic.

Just about everything.

Wow this thread got brought back from the dead. Located in Safford. 34Bunters: Yes I have a short action Ruger M77 MK II stock but it has been opened up for a Shilen #5 contour. $60 shipped. Youngdon: Yes I have a couple Axis stocks actually. One is factory black and the other is painted green with black webbing. $40 Shipped CatFish: I have a new BDL complete floor plate, spring and follower. Short action matte black. I also have two or three bdl mag boxes, springs and followers, long and short. I also have a complete short action Cabelas qwik clip detachable mag box and magazine. Latch is a little loose but still works, locks in solid when rounds are in the mag. PM me if you are interested in any of that and we can discuss price.

Mixing or blending powders is just asking for trouble in my opinion. Like Lance said there are plenty of powders available to fine tune anything you want. If you are wanting to duplicate factory loads I have seen multiple reloading articles that talk about doing just that with production powders available to the hand loader. I am not sure why anyone would want to duplicate a factory load though, just go buy it.

42.0gr of H4350. Only getting 2700fps out it but its only a 20" barrel on that one.

Jim, I just loaded some 140s in my .270 and they shoot amazingly well. I am very impressed with them so far. I have also loaded some 130s in some Creedmoors with excellent results. Trent went to Wyoming last month and one of the guys he went with was running the 130s in his Creedmoor and took a nice goat at over 700 yards. Full penetration and nice exit hole. I have also had great results with the 160TMK out of 7 Rem mags over 68.5gr H-1000. The 30cal 175 TMKs have also proven to shoot well out of a .308 I built for a client. That rifle and bullet have gone on to kill Bull Elk, multiple Mule Deer, and Ibex without issue. They may say not recommended for hunting on the box but they sure do work good.

Located in Safford, and selling for a friend of mine that isn't online. His name is Brian and you can call or text him at 928-965-7755 for any questions you may have. I am told the rifle is a few years old but like new and shot only a few times. He is asking $400 and comes with scope and soft case. Thanks for looking.

68-69 of H-1000 with the 168 Bergers or 70-71gr of Retumbo with the 180s has always given me excellent results. Doesn't matter what rifle it is.

Thats pretty much my pet load for every 6.5WSM I have built. They like it right there. Turning the necks is key as you found out. Great cartridge and it will do wonders on deer a long ways out there.

Tikka website should be able to answer those questions I would imagine. Can't go wrong with a Tikka though, everyone I have ever shot has done so really well. By far the most accurate out of the box rifle available with butter smooth actions.

Really the only advantage is that it makes life easier being able to use the same equipment everyone else does and not have to be stuck buying left handed rifles that are harder to come by and generally cost more as well.

He's young. You can have him trained to shoot right handed pretty easy. Cover his eye and go shoot a lot. Soon it will just be muscle memory to shoulder and shoot right handed. Practice makes perfect and there will be no need to buy special rifles or equipment. Go get him an air soft rifle that you can mount a cheap throw away scope on and have him practice in the house. I'm sure a six year old would have a blast running around the house pretending to be some sort of Pirate sniper or something with a patch on his eye. Make it fun for him and it will work out.
