I have a friend who uses a 22-250 w/70 gr. bullets and shoots all of his deer in the head.

Check Renting a Reamer. My Gunsmith does it all the time @ a very much lower price than a new 1. He requires any rentals to be .0002 within spec, I think.

Barrel contour suggestion would be 5...not to heavy and still fairly stiff

The TC Compass was a BIG surprise to me in a 6.5 Cre, after totally removing the trigger and installing new springs, bedding action and working up hand loads w/120 & 139 bullets. It now shoots into .3, 1/2" high @ 100.

I went to S Africa in May 2015 w/ a Ruger 77 in 30-06; 35 hand loads of 165 Nos BT's and 15 Berger 168 VLD. Both shot @ 1 3/4" high & within 1/8 inch of each other @ 100. My Kudu was uphill at 30 degree +/-, moving slowly away @ 195 yards and harvested w/1 shot of 165 BT. He walked 15 yards and...

I'm surmising that they would be to long for my 257 Ackley barrel. But the Niosler 115 is under .30 @ 100 for me.

I'm sorry, but the above eating dog in Nam is 1 thing, but eating a true scavenger, NO, NO, they are filthy animals.

I built up a 6 AI back when, but we didn't have the bullets we have today. I put it on the Gunbroker and ended up trading it to a guy in Boise for a New 700 - 24" HB in 22-250 w/Redfield medium base and rings and shipping. He really wanted that gun. I still have a 22-250 AI Winchester HB that...

Take a look at the Meopta scopes. I have a 4X16X50 w/BDC type reticle and its EX.

Mudrunner2005, where can I find out about a 6.5 Sherman, pease ?? I possibly may have a new project to dwell into.

During 1967, in country, 2 Core. I arrived in country the final 2 days of Tet. My 1st 4 months were spent at Plaku as a Trail observer. In June, I was assigned to the 173rd Brigade, 4th Batt, separated, at Touey Wa sub command, as the S-3 Air Force Staff Officer. After Tet, Westmorland met with...

For that price range, I would buy 1 of the new 4X16X42 Toric scopes which have most of the New bells and whistles. Bed and free float the barrel. (The eye relief on some of the above, are to close for my liking). Also, have a New Custom trigger installed and set @ 2#....These items will make a...

I am using a Bushmaster w/24" SS 1-9 twist barrel, loaded with H-335, Sierra 52BT bullets, WSR, OAL @ 2.255", with mixed brass, and Custom 1 1/4# trigger The powder is dirty, but is not subject to heat, and shoots into .41 @ 100 5 shot groups. This is my go to PD load. I also have a build up AR...

Been there many times and wish I had a few back in my hands.....
