What state(s) do you hunt big game in most often? Texas What is your primary long range hunting cartridge? Currently, 7x300 wtby -------------------------------------- Regarding your primary long range hunting cartridge choice above: Do you use factory ammunition? haha, No If so...

90s too finicky.... have shot knots in every barrel I"ve had for them in 223 so far save on PN that was not a good tube all around, IE no bullets. AS to other projectiles in 6.5 twist 20 inch tube 223 Holliger chamber..... I can shoot ANYTHING from 52 bthps up to the 90s with no issues and all...

FWIW, ballistics issues worked fine. But contrary to what I'd read, the bullet must need to be somewhat expansive. 640ish ball bullet poked a nice hole through a doe up close around 260 or so. Ran 50-60 yards, no blood trail at all. Jeff

8 twist will work up to 80s. 90s would be the real ticket and are what I use at 1000. Shoot really well at 1000 with them. I'm in a 20 inch tube 223, takes 6.5 twist to stabilize, 7 will not do it. Longer tube though might make it with 7. Jeff

Thanks, I finally got time to sit at google for 30 minutes. Found a ball park MV of 2900 and BC of 670. Got a print out drop sheet now. Gives one an idea anyway. Looks like 200 to 600 is dropping 10moa basically. Easy to remember. Thanks, Jeff

BTT, to add, checked those, unless I missed it, all require some data input. I dont' have any as mentioned. Might can google what ball ammo in a 50 is somewhere but right now don't have MV source or BC at all.

Should add that I don't know what kind of ball other than it was under 700 grains, and a FMJ bullet. DOn't know BC or MV or any of the good things or could run it myself. Thanks again. Jeff

HI Have my own range and all, but never thought I"d get a last second invite for some does..... which means I'm a new owner of an AR50 and a can of ball ammo. I did get the gun roughed in on plates at 200 yards a while back but decided that this hunt could blood the gun. What I need is a...

338 cal, large powder capacity, custom gun. LOTS of practice. Jeff

Had the High rings from Badger from another issue and will deal with them and see what gives. I"ll assume the cheekpiece is aluminum and also give Armalite a call once the scope is mounted. Thanks, Jeff

Kirby Good thing is the wife has shot a lot of competition with me and has shot a Barrett 99 before and was grins after it too. What is the tylenol in the ARmalite bag for?... Can I bend the cheekpiece on the AR50 so that my head is in line with the bore? Quit playing with a wildcat 50...

Kirby Thanks I"ll check out the links. Needed good info!! I will load at some point. This was just an out of the blue purchase on a whim due to coming elections, price increases etc... so don't have the funding set aside and had to kinda squirm real good to "afford" this one. Had other...

HI All Hope this is close enough to the right place. I did something dumb and bought an Armalite AR50. I don't have the bucks for high dollar scopes and a new press/dies etc... at this time. I don't want to buy the expensive loaded ammo right now so I figure to start with something decent to...

Hi I have a bad urge again. I can get an armalite 50 cal at a "reasonable" price new. I really wanted a Barrett 99 as I've shot a few of them with good results. Not fond of Armalite at all BUT money talks. I'm not sure this is even the place to post, but whats available thats not junk, and...

Kirby Thanks as usual. Still trying to save up for my project. Just a few other things continue in the way. Can you say hole in the block of a 200hp boat motor............ Might even be opting out to rebarrel a 600 here thats in 308. Might make a better pack gun....with the right stock and...
