I bought a set of 6.5x06 Ackley dies in a pawn shop and kept them for 35 years before I finally got to build the rifle for them. I wanted to build the rifle to shoot as fast as possible with one single bullet the Hornady 100 grain eld. This was to be a coyote rifle for shots as far as to 800...

You are shooting an efficient cartridge with an efficient bullet so is the drop between your 200 yard zero and 450 yard target really 28 " ? 6.2 moa times 4.5 (450 yards) = 27.9" of drop according to your calculations given. Not checking any ballistic tables that seems a bit much to me.

When I retired as an Alaskan timber faller 20 years ago I became a bullet man so now my livelihood is making bullets. I have about 300 cast bullet designs available and keep adding. I also make jacketed bullets but only in 22, 24, and 30 caliber. The 375 Whelen is a superb cast bullet cartridge...

375 caliber is a great mid bore caliber but I derive a wee bit more personal satisfaction by adding the spice of a wildcat. Three that I have tried in 375 caliber using the same basic case are the 375 Scoville, the 375 Whelen Ackley and the 375 Whelen. Of the three as a preference based on...

Not that my purchase has much to do with your proposed purchase but I am the owner of Swarovski 10x42 bino now for nearing 40 years. I purchased at about age 25 and am now rapidly approaching 64. My glass though not quite as bright as their new glass is still as it was then better than my needs...

I don't know about under rated perhaps for my choice its unrated or totally ignored. My favorite underdog cartridge is the 22 Cooper. When Kimber of Oregon went under and some of the employees bought the equipment and moved to Stevensville Montana they started a new company under the leadership...

I am interested in your Corbin press. What model is it. I am currently using the old Mighty Might system in 22, 24, and 30 cal.

I bring my targets with. A wood pallet makes a good target stand. I get wall paper remnants from the second hand store and staple those with the colored side in then make aiming points from black paper commandeered from home school supplies. A 4'x4' white papered pallet with a 12"x12" black...

Your kidding right! How about BLM. I am from Dell and like most of MT there are thousands of acres of BLM land to shoot long range on. Good grief man I shoot 1000 yards out my back door. In 10 minutes of driving we have countless areas of open range public lands that permit shooting to miles...

I have been averaging in the mid $80.00 range straight across average. The high on a coyote at the last NAFA auction was $400.00 and they sold 30,000 coyotes. The auction sold out on coyotes but nothing else. Coyotes are the only fur that has held its value and demand is greater than supply.

Here is the photo of the coyotes for the fall/winter sent to NAFA -

Good doings! You are tempting me to start re-considering a new Howa in 240.

I cant make a direct velocity comparison because I doubt my 1/10" twist will stabilize 140+ gn bullets. I do plan to try some 120gn bullets though. If a 120gn 25 cal bullet will stabilize in a 1/10" twist I will guess that the same 120gn weight should also stabilize in a 1/10" twist 264 cal. A...

I am very curious to know what kind of velocity you get from the 26 Nosler??? I am interested to know just how my 6.5-06 Ackley compares in velocity. I built my rifle specifically for 100gn bullets using a 1/10" twist 28" Packnor barrel. The load I have been shooting gets 3690 fps average...

What kind of velocity do you get with a 140gn bullet from the 6.5 saum?
