I got one I’ll sell you. Some how got one for Christmas and my birthday so don’t need 2. PM me if interested. John

Ok I’ll play. A 16 gauge Diana grade Superposed . Ranks right up there with unicorns and Sasquatch. John

Thanks for the replies and all is good. Scope would be on a .223 AI shooting 53’s between 300-600 yards mostly. I like to dial but have a couple that I’ll use the hash marks. John

So would this particular scope being discussed be suitable for varmint hunting, particularly prairie dogs? I’m in the market for a scope in this range and this one sounds intriguing. Thanks, John.

My last name is Dant which is the whiskey Dant’s. My kin folks started a distillery a couple of years ago that is doing pretty well. It’s called Log Still and is quite a place. If your into bourbon it’s well worth checking out or go online. I hope I’m not out of line by posting this here.

Thanks everyone. Wyoming is one of my favorite places. I go west when I can and especially like visiting Wyoming.

Well married life took me to Louisville but grew up on a farm in southern Nelson county that I’m all to happy to visit when I can.

Although I’ve been a member for about 2 years I rarely post so I feel very new to this place. I do lurk on nearly a daily basis as there is much information here. Look forward to participating in more threads in the future. John

I used 27 gr. of 748 behind 50 gr. BT. In a custom barreled 700 .223. Can’t remember the velocity as it wasn’t real fast. However, it shot a group in 1’s and when the barrel was fairly new 1/4” was not uncommon. Like others have said, it is temperature sensitive which I didn’t care for. John

FWIW, I use Fed 215 in my .280 with 60 gr. of R22. It did better in accuracy and SD than the Fed 210. Curiously, they gave a little less velocity. John

Hey Hitman, were you featured in the Varmint hunting magazine back in the 90's? Seems I remember an article about a WV groundhog hunter that was a retired dentist. Anyway, that is an amazing # of whistle pigs. Congratulation. John

“64 pcs 6mm hornady 103 gr eldx for 64ish 6mm 95gr nosler ballistic tips.” I will buy these for $40 shipped Thanks, John. Not sure how to pm here maybe because I’m new. text: fiveOtwo645seven9one4

I live in Kentucky. Like to know where it is.😁 John

Ok thanks for all replies and Merry Christmas. So does anyone know of a smith that has a 6.5 CM reamer with about a .130 free bore? Thanks, John.

I’m going to use a Ruger 77 tang safety sa so I believe my magazine is set. And as you mentioned, when I can round up some components, I will assemble a dummy round and see what I get. I hope to do this with a 120 gr. Nosler. Thanks, John.
