    Twist rate

    Will be another 22-250 Ackley. Had one in a 7 twist that was awesome with the 80 gr Berger Vld. Only had it a year but in that time was able to drop a Coues at 600 yds a coyote at 900 and was more than capable of 1000 yd and beyond rabbit and prairie dog fun. Above all that with no brake you could watch the vapor trail and impact in the scope.

    Do those blood finding lights work?

    Used them once and thought a really bright streamlight worked better.
  3. Saw something similar a buddy was trying to sight in his 30-06. He was using reloads made from old military brass. At 25 yds he was missing the Target by up to 20'. The brass had been resized to 270 win.

    Easy to draw

    Just read somewhere Wyoming was increasing non res prices fairly hard, might be easier to draw this year.

    Concrete Slab Question

    The psi you will need will mostly depend on the type of soil in your base. 4" of 2500 psi and a 4' grid of #4 rebar would be fine if the soil is extremely stable, non expansive, and compacted well. If your soil is expansive 6" of 5000 psi with a 12" grid of rebar would likely not be enough unless you do some pad prep.

    Lion rug cost

    $3200 for a rug? Holy smokes Ya I thought it was a little odd too especially since he ended doing a full body mount for $3100.

    Eberlestock scabbard help

    I put a chunk of 4x4 in mine to try to stretch it out a little.

    Eberlestock scabbard help

    Depends on which pack. I have a X1 euro that is extremely tight. The dragonfly, Team Elk, and an older X1 we're not that way.
  14. If it were me I would start with Rl-22. I've had great results with it in just about every cartridge based off the 06 case.

  16. The 3 powders I tried in mine were Retumbo,H-1000,and Rl-25. Retumbo was the most accurate and Rl-25 was the fastest with the 200 gr eld-x. All we're sub 3/4 moa with Retumbo being just under 1/2 moa. Rl-25 real close to 3300 fps.
  17. Don't really know as far as temp stable but Retumbo was the most accurate powder when I was loading for my 300 Rum with the 200 gr eld-x.

    22-250 loads

    For bullets I've done great with any v-max from 40 to 55 grs, your 14 twist probably won't like the 53 gr. The 52gr a-max and 50 gr Nosler BT are also worth looking at. Powders Rl-15, H-414, Imr4895, Varget, and H-4350 have all worked for sub 1/2 moa loads for me. Cases don't bother with anything but Nosler or Lapua. If you decide to build a hot load just use Lapua, the Nosler primer pockets get really lose after the second or third loading. Fed 210M primers are my first pick but the CCI BR-2 will also do well.

    270 WSM opinions

    I like mine. Rem 700 sps with a houge stock, shooting a 130gr Swift Scirocco @3475 fps. It's well over 1000 rds and still shooting 1/2 moa. I've shot targets out to 1100 yds. Taken a lion at 653 yds and a Coues at 684. Everything I've shot feel like it was struck by lightning.

    Score?

  21. Use a target that looks like a deer and see how far she can hit the mark consistently.

    How long do you sit?

    Depends on the spot and how much country I can cover. If I can only glass a few hundred yards, I might leave after a hour or two. If I can cover miles of ground I might be there a couple days.
  23. While I'm hunting I like the Eberlestock X1 euro, but once I have something down the J107 is my favorite pack. The J107 will fit all my hunting gear plus a whole Coues gutted, skinned, and lower legs removed.
