Short Barrel Ranch Rifle Cartridge Choice

I can check the exact load when I get home, but I use a max charge of 748 (for speed of reloading), LC brass, and whatever LR primers I have on hand since GM210’s have been scarce. Getting around 2800ish from my factory 16” barrel at +/- one MOA. Never have had to take a follow up shot on a whitetail with the NBT bullet.
I imagine that's a pretty good speed for that bullet and shooting whitetail. A buddy of mine humped up the 110 vmax over 3k and shot a whitetail doe straight on in the chest. Not a shot I'd have taken. It just splashed on impact and she ran to the next county. She was recovered though.

The 110 varmegeddon in a blackout is a deer slayer also. I wouldn't want to shoot it much faster than that though.

Optics SOLD....Nightforce 7-35x56 MIL-C, Mount, Level

Nightforce ATACR 7-35x56, MIL-C, GREYOPS one piece mount (1.5" high, 0 MOA), FLATLINE OPS level. I bought this new from Mile High Shooting about 6-8 months ago for my XRAY-51. Everything is in perfect condition. It's a fantastic setup.... however, I saw the OD Green ZCO 5-27 scopes and I gotta try and get one..... because it will look sweet on the XRAY. I know, very childish. Anyway, the whole setup for $2700.00....... Thanks for looking.

Sturm Ruger has bought Anderson Manufacturing

Need a mini 14 to complete the basic bitch starter pack. Ron Spomer would approve.

Ruger does make very nice revolvers. About the only thing they make worth owning.
The mk1,2,3,4 series of pistols are good. Always liked my 10/22's for what they are. The mini 14 needs to use ar mags. Strangely enough, the only revolver of theirs I like is the Blackhawk. And I wouldn't mind a number 1 in 220 swift.

Ace barrels vs the rest bartlein brux ect...

Just got back from the range.

Loaded up a mini OCW test with 80 SMK's and H4895 in the 1x brass. It hammered, hard to test anything else after how well this test shot!

All five charge weights shot in the 0.2's or better with the smallest group measuring 0.166". The low node charge had a ES 2.1 and SD 1. SD's went up to low double digits for the higher charge weights but still hammered.

Im going to do a seating depth test with 23.8gr and see how small I can get that already awesome group because of the really low ES/SD then Ill dial in the tuner and take it to distance. Point of impact is the same from 23.6 - 24.2gr so its right in the middle.. Zero pressure signs either, brass and primers look great and bolt feels great. Loving this 0.100fb chamber Mike did for me in this barrel!

I just love H4895 and 80 SMK.s.. And this ACE 224 barrel is hammering.
