    22 creedmoor

    Thanks David! I have some options i have been looking at basing off a 22-250 AI load for the same. Thinking i start with the 22-250 AI load and work up from there.

    22 creedmoor

    Jumping on this thread. Looking for reloading data for 22 CM with H4350 or H1000 with 69gr Barnes BT Match. Anyone have a good start point? Thanks

    lifetime hunt-Oryx on White Sands missile range

    Its a day hunt. Ok, maybe 2, spend 1 day looking and 1 day killing. There are plenty of them out there. Find some "off post" adjacent ground and stack up a Barbary Sheep as well while you are there. There are plenty of both.

    A reasonable DIY antelope hunt?

    What MemTB said. Went to Wyoming last year after not getting my usual Montana tag. Never hunting in Antelope there before hunted the week after the opener (heard the opener was a zoo), never saw another hunter, over 30 bucks in only a few hours, and was done and back to the bar by noon with a...

    22 creedmoor brass recommendations?

    I would give my first born for 100 pieces of 22 CM brass. Built a new Creedmoore last fall, no brass anywhere. Gun sitting lonely in the gun box while all its brothers get to go shoot prairie dogs this weekend.

    No more Velocity reticles.... What are the alternatives

    Sable T. This was a general comment/concern about Nightforce discontinuing one of the best and most versatile hunting reticles out there that could be matched with custom hand loads exactly to the bullet drop of any bullet. This said, trying to find a velocity 1000 UHV.5 in a 3.5-15x or...

    No more Velocity reticles.... What are the alternatives

    so I went to purchase another night force velocity 1000 for my latest build. Low and behold they discontinued that reticle. ***, those velocity reticles with the right hand load were spot on with no dialing of turrets. So the question is, what are the alternatives? Any good range reticles...

    338 LM, Barnes 225 TTSX, and H1000

    Went to the range and shot the loads I developed. I had loads from 95 to 98 grains loaded all set with a bullet jump of .030". Shot the first 3 rounds at 95 grains at 200 yards. Just a touch over a 1/2" group at 3039 for. Shot 3 at 96 grains, same results on paper with the velocity at 3059...

    338 LM, Barnes 225 TTSX, and H1000

    I appreciate it. that will be a solid starting point then. What altitude are you shooting at for the most part? I am at 862' where i do most of my load development. I took a gun that had zero pressure signs to 3000 in Montana... **** near needed to take a hammer to the bolt to get it up...

    338 LM, Barnes 225 TTSX, and H1000

    It has been a while since I have posted... mostly because I have been perfecting already developed loads for my favorite guns. I have recently got ahold of another 338 LM built lightweight for hunting. I am looking to push 225 TTSXs to about 3050 FPS to match the NF Velocity reticle that I...

    I killed the wrong deer

    Nice mistake... I made a similar mistake a few years ago caribou hunting. My brother said, "shoot the 4th one from the right". I counted 1,2,3,4...Boom. He says, "nice shot, but that was the third one". Apparently he did not see the one standing out there on his own. It happens!
