    Hunting & Fishing One eye open or two?

    Two eyes for me. Started as a kid that way and have learned to shoot everything that way. Now, if I close one eye I almost immediately develop a flinch (especially with a bow and a peep sight!).

    6.5x55 Swede users?

    Thanks for the info. I loaded up some rounds to do some testing but that was a couple of weeks ago, and I have not made it to the range to try them out. Work has been all consuming.... On a brighter note, I should be just a week or to from picking up my 6.5x55ai! Got word the stock has...

    Gunsmithing OVERWATCH became self aware on 8.23.13 @0934. . .

    Holy shit that is awesome. I have never really felt the need for a big gun but this is making me twitch and sweat a little.... ***4500fps*** please take it out for an afternoon on a prairie dog field but you have to get some really good high res video. Just out of curiosity, how much does it...

    You didn't see him working on a 6.5x55ai did you???? LOL. He has been working on one for me for just barely over a month. I called him last week and he said the stock had arrived and It should be ready in a week or so. I can't wait. He has been very easy to work with through the whole...

    I made 6mmRem from 270Win, but....

    A while back, I was looking really hard at doing a 6mm build on a long action and decided against it due to a lack of brass but...... I have since found some. It is not always available but if you keep looking, it does pop up and sometimes in a good quantity (500 or more) Go to the...

    6.5x55 Swede users?

    Thanks for the info you posted. I have been trying to research peoples experiences with the 6.5x55AI for a while but have had some difficulty finding real world experience. Your numbers on velocity and barrel life are exactly what I have been trying to find! I will be on the lookout but it...

    6.5x55 Swede users?

    I had my nose in a reloading manual last night and I came across some load data on IMR4064 and 120-130 grain bullets. Has anyone tried this powder in a swede? Trying to come up with a good hunting load out of a 22in barrel with 125 nosler partitions.... Thanks

    Fun new KIDD built suppressed

    This is likely going to be my next project as well. Alabama just legalized suppressors for hunting so I was going to buy a .30 cal. one so I thought I might as well do a .22 can at the same time. That is really a good looking rig by the way. I was going to build basically the same thing but...

    6.5x55 Swede users?

    This is exactly the info I have been looking for! Thank you very much Spuhr! My stated goal from the beginning was 140grn bullet at 3000fps with good barrel life and low case maintenance. This is actually better barrel life then I expected and as a bonus, I will be running a 26" tube so my...

    6.5x55 Swede users?

    Backspace, I think I need another drink.... I just read through this whole thread again and I don't see the post. I think I am confusing another conversation I had. My bad... I know a smith who has an AI reamer cause he is chambering mine with it. Let me know if you want his contact info
