    Fun stuff to shoot at.

    We have steel targets, but for fun, we use 20 oz soda bottles filled with water at 500 and gallon milk jugs with water at 1k. Both are easy to clean up. Both can be humbling experiences. Pecos

    22 caliber bullets

    Speer makes a 70 grain Spire point that works very well in my 22-250AI with a 1-9 twist. Pecos

    Double set triggers?

    I use a single set trigger on my 6.5-06AI, it is made by Kepplinger and so far (past 12 months) it works great. I have it set for 3 lbs normas and about 6 oz in the set mode. I use my rifle primarily for hunting and informal 1000 yard shoots at steel shilouettes. May or may not be an option...

When you get down to it, if you don't know where your rifle will put a bullet at any given range, then it...

    Loads for 6.5-06AI

    My main purpose is using it as hunting rifle, but there are a couple of 1000 yard shoots in the area and I am looking for 140 grain loads. I shot the 3.7 inch group using Hornady 129 grain interlocks loaded with H4831SC, don't have the exact load handy, and it chrono's at 3230 fps. I have just...

    Loads for 6.5-06AI

    Gentlemen, I would like to pick your collective brains and see what ya'll recommend for loads for the 6.5-06AI. I notice from reading about 1000k matches the folks who are using 6.5 cal all seem to like RL22. My rifle is a mod 70, with a 26 inch Shilen SS select match barrel 1-8 twist. So...
