@Bigjake83 , do you have a starting and max charge for AR Comp with the 75eldm? I have the Hornady load data, but AR Comp isn’t one of the powders listed. I also didn’t see info on the Alliant site for 22 Arc. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My WOA hates CFE so I’m looking for alternatives. It shoots Lever pretty good, but I have some comp so I figured I’d give it a try. Thanks.

Utah, near Park City, mule deer season.

328 yards, across a canyon, 250 feet of elevation drop, 35 mph crosswind.

25-06 Montana 1999 with an old Kahles Helia S 3-12 x 56 scope. One shot aimed at the top of the hindquarters found heart/lung, dropped him in his tracks.

May have made more impressive shots, but I will remember that one for my entire life.

Afternoon before at the location, saw him sneak into the brush -



Next morning, I was waiting when he showed up again.


Yes, I know my buddy needs to watch shadows when taking a picture.

Only 100 rds but flawless so far. I shot from the tripod quite a bit today and didn't see any zero shift. This rifle flat hammers.

Does Barrett make their own barrel blanks?

I almost did that exact same thing as the guy on the bottom. I was young and dumb with my first street bike, a cbr1000rr, and a Porsche pulled up along side wanting to race. I dropped a gear and dumped the clutch. The front end almost came over on me. Thought I was safe since I was already well into triple digits. I was wrong.

24.2-24.4 gr TAC pushing a 77 smk has been money in all my rifles. They all share 24.4, LC brass, cci #41 with 77 SMK’s and all shoot that load extremely well in 40-95* weather.

Those speeds though are crazy! My 20” barrels only run 2750

How did they fair in temps below freezing?

I’m gonna show my ignorance here. What do PRA shooters look for in a range finding bino? What are their main purpose/function?

Spot and check ranges to targets.

Oh damn.

I mostly shoot local matches, I am not a high-level competitor. But with a good load and a custom rifle, I expect to be able to shoot 1/2MOA 90% of the time at 100 and maybe 80% of the time at 200 with mild to moderate wind. I don’t shoot center fire at 50 yards, that’s only for rimfire.

Ooops. Just realized this was in the rimfire section. For rimfire, I would say 1/2-3/4 MOA at 50, sub MOA at 100 and maybe 1.5 MOA at 200 with very mild wind.

Oh sorry...
Forgot to tell you.
If you are gonna go in for the full 5 days course of IVM, lay in a supply of treats like alfalfa cubes, and sweet feed nuggets....maybe some apples for a spexoal treat...
..

Seriously. Just squirt your dose in 8 ounces of water and drink it, easy peasy. Don't put it in juice o4 pepai or nothing. Lots of watwr helps it work. Stay hyddrated

Anyone who has studied/practiced edged weapons techniques, can attest to the effectiveness of an inch long scalpel held at the finger tip. If you can touch a person, they are cut. If you know a little about anatomy, a few millimeters cut depth is all it takes to kill. A one inch blade, or a three foot blade, really doesn't matter.

True but a three foot blade reduces the margin for error by 35 inches.

Me too kid, me too

$475 for the Garmin or save $125 and order from Doug at Cameraland for the Athlon? The $125 is still enough savings that I'll go with the Athlon.
