Looking to have a couple of chamber reamers titanium nitride coated. Does anyone have suggestions on who does this kind of work well?

I have found that a shorter length of pull seems to work better with thermal. A person just has to be careful if they are shooting anything with a decent amount of recoil so they don't get scoped. Even a low recoiling rifle if shot in a weird position can scope the shooter.

@Varmint Hunter Give the guys at Ace Barrels a call. 509-242-3698

Here's a couple from late last night. Was super disappointed the 2nd shot in the first video was a miss. If you look closely, you can see the bullet impact in the dirt behind it's head.

The bobcat was 27 pounds and the coyote was a big one!!! Advantage Taxidermy, Davenport, WA Advantage Taxidermy, Davenport WA

@rankin76 I'm a day late posting my Tuesday Facial but I did shoot it last night. 220 yard head shot!! Close as I could tell, the 75gr ELDM doing 3520fps entered the left nostril and went down its throat.

I'm sorry that I forgot to get back with you. I also had posted the reamer number wrong....it is 27026. Can't seem to attach it here. Computers seem to always kick my butt!!:rolleyes:

Thank you for the kind words, but I don't consider myself to be in the "talented" crowd. I was just lucky enough not to screw it up!!

IMHO it would not be worth it. The 22 Creedmoor seems to only get around 1100 rounds of barrel life. Also, you would have to slow it way down as most PRS/NRL matches have a 3200fps speed limit. Based on that you will have much better ballistics with a 6mm. Not sure about if you were to get...

No, I bought a piece of wood and then got together all the other parts. It was the first one I built from scratch and it took A LOT of hours. Fortunately I had a friend that would look over my shoulder often to make sure I wasn’t screwing up and to answer questions for me. Did it all with hand...

This is what I hunt big game with. Built it myself and it’s all period correct to the year 1770. 54 Cal with 1:70 twist and shoots patched round balls.

If I input the info for my setup into JBM it gives me 1.303 @ 59 degrees. If I drop the temp to 10 degrees JBM shows 1.180 That being said, targets and coyotes show me that everything is fine. Look at my opening post and then go to post #63 on page 5. Temps were around 37 for the target pics...

It would be worth a phone call to Ace and ask them. I'm sure you would get a very detailed answer to that question. I'm also thinking you may not need quite that fast of twist. I am running 75gr ELDM's thru a 8 twist and it works great, even tho Hornady says they require a 7 twist.

Another good whack this morning!!
