Have you tried Bugholes.com? They have several in stock. You may have to be flexible on contours but there are lots of sites that have barrels in stock. You don’t have to order direct from the manufacturer.

The easiest way for me to measure group size is this - Close your calipers on an unfired bullet Zero your calipers Measure the outside diameter That will give you the C to C without any math Try it, you’ll like it. Bob

It’s 7744 yards. Maybe thinking feet? It’s a long ways. A lot of shots. A long flight time. And a lot of money I bet. 👍🏻

I’ve had an inReach mini for several years. I really like it and depend on it. Like was mentioned above, I do everything from my phone (in airplane mode) and never have to do much with the device. It has always worked, every time I send a message. Also, you can have it attach your coordinates to...

Got this from Sportsman's Warehouse. 25% off on Mystery Ranch.

My little Kimber Montana 7-08 has a 22" barrel. It is a pleasure to carry and shoot. I shoot the 150gr ELD-X. It has been a one-shot killer for deer and elk. I’m shooting IMR4166 and getting about 5/8” groups.

First, congratulations on your SD elk tag. I got a Hills rifle tag in 2019 and I drew a Hills archery tag this year. I mentored 2 other elk hunters in between those two hunts. What unit did you draw? I may have some spots you’d like to check out. I've owned 3 Eberlestock packs, including the...

For years I used RL17 with 140gr bullets in my .260AI's. It gave great velocities and so-so SD/ES. It sucks for temp stability. I was popping primers in the summer heat. I first switched to IMR4451 which improved the temp stability tremendously and somewhat improved the SD/ES. But velocity was...

Well, when I started reloading in the late '70's a brick of primers went for $10. In the 2000's they cost $30 a brick. I would imagine the current price will stick for a while. And then increase again. I don’t see the price dropping back down to $10 a brick. Though I can hope it might. 😁 Bob

I would separate the two rifle uses. Learn good rifle shooting skills to enable you to hunt. Build your skills and experience. No rush. Ease into competition. My advice for the F-Class angle is this. Start going to matches now without a rifle. See what goes on and meet some people. Ask lots of...

Hodgdon's site lists 6X47L data for Nosler's 90gr E-Tip. I think I would use that starting data and work from there. Bob
