    280 ai build

    FWIW the folks at Mile High shooting built a .280 AI for my father on a mausingfield action with proof CF barrel and Manners CF stock. It weighs about 7.8 lbs. It was Not cheap but works REALLY well (shoots 1/4 MOA with 168gr Accubond LR Bullets.)

    280 ai build

    How much do you want to spend? True the action - putting a match grade carbon fiber barrel in a factory Rem action (un trued) is alike putting racing rims and tires on a Prius. Proof carbon fiber barrels work REALLY well and will save 2-3 pounds. manners CF stock at 1 pound (w/o adj check...

    Who is in love with their 260rem?

    I Shoot a 260 for PRS and it just works. It likes 140-142 going 2,850 and 130 Berger’s going 3,000. I get better results with H4831 over H4350. I found surprisingly good results with R-26 and 147gr Bullets (2,900). That is THE killer long distance combo. The only gripe is the shorter...

    Serria Matchking

    Very accurate bullet and you will see an advantage with them beyond 300 yards. That being said I get more “hang time” inside of 300 with 50gr blitzkings.

    Best powder for 204

    I have had success mass-producing 204 ammo using 40gr VMAX and 39gr BlitzKing with either W748 or CFE 223 and Remington 7.5

    .22 recommendation to practice long range

    I did something similar, I built a .204 Ruger to match my Accuracy International PRS rifle that I compete with. The only problem is that you don't get the wind reading practice with a .204 that you do with a .22LR inside of 200 yards. The .204 is ok for positional practice but you can hit...

    .22 recommendation to practice long range

    I tested lots of ammo and found at least 12 brands that would shoot one hole 5-shot groups at 50 yards in my sako finnfire range. Of those 12 only five shot less than 1” inch at 100 yards. Of those five the one that shot the best at 100 (less than 1/2”) shot the worst at 200. What greyfox...

    .22 recommendation to practice long range

    You can spend days and weeks trying to argue sub-sonic vs. super sonic. In the end it’s easiest to test ammo at distance (50, 100, 200, 250, 300 yards) and find out what shoots best in your gun. If that happens to be 1,440 fps CCI stingers then good on you - use that ammo. My experience is...

    “You buy right you buy once...” “You buy wrong and you end up surrounded by piles of dissatisfying junk.”

    .22 recommendation to practice long range

    22LR is a great way to develop wind reading skills as it requires approximately the same elevation and wind displacement as a .308 at 1/4 the distance. In other words the elevation and wind holds you need to hit a target (with sub-sonic .22 match Ammo) at 200 yards is roughly the same for a...

    Prairie Dog Hunting in Denver Area

    I believe that it it is illegal to hunt dogs on public lands in CO. You will need to find a guide or outfitter that has a lease or acesss to private land. There are not a lot of options within 50 miles of Denver but WY is heaven.
