    284 Win w/ AIAW mag

    With 162's and a 26" tube if I remember correctly it 2750 -2800. A 7-08 can do that. In a LA set up with a little more powder normally 2850-2900. Some have gone over 2900 and done it well. I have no idea what potential speed was out there with different powders. There was no reason to...

    284 Win w/ AIAW mag

    When it comes to the 284 she shines in the LA set up. Even if it would run it would be crippled and you would be better off with the 7-08 b/c it will shine in the AW set up. I looked at the AW's as well thinking it was the ticket but it isn't. I never got past the bullet depth issue...

    Hunting & Fishing The big dawgs are coming out!

    I fish and hunt hard. That's why I don't shoot too many matches. That tarpon photo with all the rain was an epic morning. There is no way we should have be on tarpon like we were. The weather was absolute crap. We didn't think we would jump 1 tarpon let alone over 30 in 3 hours. That...

    Hunting & Fishing The big dawgs are coming out!

    Here are the results. The night time photos are horrible but that's all I have. The was the largest snook that made it in the boat. The photo really doesn't do him one bit of justice. 37 lbs, 45.5" long to the fork of the tail and 25" of girth. I could have put my head in his mouth...

    Hunting & Fishing The big dawgs are coming out!

    Its too bad you can't boat these in the US. We fed a lot of people with them in Costa Rica.

    Take driving little 308 hog rifle

    No it's not Ted. I've met Ted multiple times but I've never built anything for him. He has a 270 from George that he loves.

    Hunting & Fishing The big dawgs are coming out!

    Headed to Boca Grand for some big snook. We'll see what happens when they run into 250 lbs braid with an 8/0 owner hook attached to it. Normally they don't react well but pulling those monsters out from under a dock takes that kind of gear to do it on a somewhat normal basis and yet they...

    Take driving little 308 hog rifle

    This one is headed to a very large person in the gun industry. I'd have to say some little piggies are not going to enjoy meeting this rig!

    Another 260 that could

    No doubt she's worth every penny.

    Another 260 that could

    We've always used a 1-8 but most bullets won't know the difference.

    Another 260 that could

    Most of them do pretty darn well but I guess we'll have to keep our fingers crossed ;-)

    Range Report The Micro Bastard brake meets the 338 Ultra mag

    I haven't had the opportunity to shoot one of our Micro brake on a big boomer like the 338 Ultra mag until today. This little rifle is headed out to Africa in a few months. Everyone know's the PH's in Africa hate muzzle brakes and for good reason but this is for a customers wife and I'm sure...

    Another 260 that could

    I haven't had a lot of time to post stuff on here as of late but I wanted to get back on that as much as possible so you guys have some more eye candy to look at. Here is a 260 we just finished up. She liked the 123's the best at 100 but the 139's and 142's from Corbon were still capable of...

    .223ai with 80gr A-max's, rebarreling question

    I haven't shot the 80's but I was shooting the 75's in a 1-9 with a 22" barrel. If it were shorter I don't know that you would have enough RPM at distance. I shot my set up out to 700 with amazing results. My friends rifle was 20" modified factory rifle and it was not very hot at 700 but did...
