What state(s) do you hunt big game in most often? Pennsylvania What is your primary long range hunting cartridge? 7MM/300 Weatherby Magnum Regarding your primary long range hunting cartridge, above, do you use factory ammo? No Do you handload? Yes If so answer the following: Bullet...

flybuster The 108 gr JLKs shoot very good at 1000 yds out of the 25/06 @ 3200 fps and only drops 242" from 100 yd zero. Dan

Torque Wrench Snap-On has an excellent one (1/4 or 3/8" drive) from 30 to 200 in lbs. Dan

dWeller The halfing adjustment brings the inverted object and the normal upright object (which are the same vertical tree or whatever) to touch on the separating line (from inverted to upright) not the same heigth as I stated on previous post. It's probably a 80 cm (the distance between centers...

dweller They are very accurate just like the Barr & Strouds and Wildes. One adjustment is the halfing scale and there is an adjustment for zeroing in at a known distance (if it starts at 250 yds-about 800 to 1000 yds would be good to zero in on). You range on a vertical object like a pole a...

jb1000br The hole spacing between the front and rear guard screws is 7.5" on pre-64 and post 64 (long action) M70s. Even the 22 Hornet was a factory chambering on the pre-64 M70s full size action. The short action came out later in the post-64 actions. --Dan

jb1000br I might be wrong but I don't believe Winchester made a short M70 action pre-64. --Dan

DANTEC His barrel was long enough (it was about 36"--I just don't remember) to get the velocity out of the case but when you put a stainless steel flash tube (which you need to get proper ignition) in the case it takes up powder room and makes the powder cooler, then you have to compress the...

ceglar A friend of mine worked on this short 50 necked down to 338. He did some extensive testing with frontal ignition and compressing the powder using 300 gr Sierra MKs, and the best he could get was 3300 fps. The barrel was long (30" or longer), but I don't remember how long. The...

sscoyote The BV20 is hard to beat for a long range hunting scope. The field of view is extra large, optics are great. Reticle is always centered, you can use it for as far as you want to shoot w/o running out of adjustment--you can shim bases for elevation and never bind the scope, you can make...

Michael I agree twist is paramount, I didn't include that because you already wrote that. If a shooter is shooting long range, he has to figure the ballistic coefficient of the best quality bullets available which would give him the best advantage at those distances. Most shooters wouldn't use a...
