30-06. 180 grain Sierra Gameking in front of 57.0 grains of H4831. Its not fast, 2552fps, but accurate. From a Vanguard, non-series 2. With a 1 pound Rifle Basics trigger. With Federal BR primers. Easily shoots under MOA. Of course I haven't found ANY of my powder of choice or bullets or the...

1Hunter----wiser words are seldom spoke.lightbulb

Well shucks 1Hunter, sounds like you will have a great time. Good luck. Did I tell you I managed to acquire a Schmidt & Bender Klasic 3-12X40 high end scope? Got it through a friend of mine. Hot diggety dog, I NEVER ever thought I would have such a high quality optic. I put it on my tack driver...

Mr. 1Hunter Sir, I wish I could say that there is lots of yotes. But there just isn't. there are a few, but very few, and they aren't coming in. Don't know why yet, but they just aren't . there is at least 1 lion, and there are 2 wolves, but not much else. it may be the wolves have something to...

hey 1Hunter, I know what your saying about the prone position. I wanted to try the high power rifle competition, but with the fusion in my neck, I just cant, unless I want a HUGE headache, and I have enough of those without making one. so I just don't even bother. but what the heck, you gave it...

ya 1Hunter, that G7 would be very nice to have. probably even breath for us.

Hey Methow Packer, as you know, some days are diamonds, other days are just stones. Part of it is in our mind, and lots of the time, its in our bones. Ha ha ha And 1Hunter, Im hoping to be at the range a couple times in July. I will let you know. And by the by. I have a Schmidt & Bender...

hey 1 Hunter, I always thought slow was good when hunting. whether it is game or criminals. you always see so much more. glad you had a good time. I moved to a ranch near Glass Butte. 9 miles of BAD BAD road. nearest neighbor is 8 miles away. wont be goin to the cossa range much. don't need...

Hey Methow Packer, Its simple and HARD. SIMPLY make up your mind that ya GOTTA do it, then push, push, push, push. From what I've been told, were still "youngins" according to the fellas in their 80s. I'll go with that. NEVER,EVER, give up, just REST occasionally.

Shucks, life is full of bad experience's, get back to hand loading. lightbulb A friend of mine has a new Savage in 338 Lapua Mag with Vortex on top. The combination isn't too heavy. It is very accurate and he has a good time with it. I will be getting the same combination late this year.:D

RTK----makes sense to me.

shortgrass, thank you for this talk. I am sending it to a friend of mine. maybe this will help him understand. I like a lite lite trigger at the range, but never for huntin. and I NEVER EVER do the adjusting myself. id much rather pay someone that KNOWS.

possum---your alright. all the numbers talk is still confusing to me. the bsa scopes are OK, but like it was said they are not very repeatable. but there are worse on the market. personally, I like the vortex crossfire models with hash mark reticule. they are not a lot of money and they...

well, I have no memory. i thought you were the one told me about trigger work. I get to talkin with folks and forget sometimes who I heard what from. sounds like you know what your doin. I put a bushnell elite 3200--10X mil dot on the new 06. its a mil/mil reticule. graduated in tenths...

1 HUNTER, we will be at COOSA in the morning, 0900, 4-22-13. I don't remember if I asked if you do trigger work???
