    22 CM and Heavy varmint bullets

    If you like the DTA design, you should definitely have one. Extrodinarly accurate rifles. They have quite a following here on the hide as well. It's no mystery that the 22-250 body taper is a problem. Especially in a singlestack mag. The problem amplifies the deeper you stack them...

    22 CM and Heavy varmint bullets

    The 22-250 gets the results I want. BUT.... it's shot out and instead of rebarreling a Savage I'm considering a 22 caliber P dog smasher for my Desert Tech SRS. Problem is there is some anecdotal evidence that the 22-250 doesn't feed or extract well in the DTA platform.

    22 CM and Heavy varmint bullets

    So everyone is shooting super long bullets with super fast twist barrels with these things... My question is: has anyone used these on prairie dogs and what heavy bullet gets the "pink mist" effect? It seems that all the longer heavier bullets are match bullets. I want similar results to my...

    Official (DTA) SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

    I feel that the 53 Vmax offers a really nice combination of velocity, less wind deflection, and explosiveness. Could probably go to a little heavier bullet with the 10 twist also. This is all quite debatable. I'm looking for real experience with this cartridge in the DT platform. I'm a...

    0 I was thinking more like 10 twist shooting 53 V max.

    Official (DTA) SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

    Old standard 22-250 anyone? Sorry if this has been hashed out but I can't find anything with various searches. Just wondering if anyone has done this in the DT and is there feeding issues? I'm debating rebarreling my Savage 12 or just getting one for the DT. I'm somewhat invested in the...

    AR-10 Loads

    My AR10s don’t handle pressure. 260 Rem would blow primers on factory ammo. I’ve found you’re better off shooting medium heavy bullets like a 123 out of the 6.5. They still have an excellent BC and you can push them a little faster. You just can’t push really heavy bullets fast enough...

    Dirty vs Clean barrel COAL

    So I measured my OAL at the ogive of the 87 Berger VLD and it was the same as when measured new. I then went and shot 22 rounds of those bullets with Hornady brass, CCI 200s, and H4350. Had a couple chambering problems when I was close to done. Looked down the barrel and it was dirty as...

    See above posts. Heavy ejector spring?

    Vortex Fury HD 5000 Initial Thoughts

    The range button is pretty flat. Just has a few small bumps on it. It probably works perfectly without gloves. Except for early season bow hunts, I always have gloves on. During several recent coyote hunts it was very difficult to locate. I had to bring the binos down to find it then back...

    Vortex Fury HD 5000 Initial Thoughts

    Ok that may fix the diopter issue. But any fixes for the range button? The bigger question is why do we have to modify expensive equipment to make it useful? The previous generation of this bino had the same issues...

    Vortex Fury HD 5000 Initial Thoughts

    I think I get what you mean....kinda. Am I putting this on the button, or on each side of the button on the Bino housing in which to feel for the button in between?

    Vortex Fury HD 5000 Initial Thoughts

    I’ve had mine about 3 weeks. The range finder is very good. Ranged a coyote at 1058 yards. Just couldn’t hit the som bitch. I really don’t know what to think of them yet as a whole. The glass is OK. Wish they would have put razor glass in them. The range button could definitely be...

    Dirty vs Clean barrel COAL

    What's interesting is I shot 170 rounds of mostly large rifle primer brass with zero measurable change and then just 30 rounds of small rifle primer and the lands got all clogged with shit. The variable here is the large rifle primer brass and h4350. I shouldn't have shot that before I...

    Dirty vs Clean barrel COAL

    I have a 4.2 oz hydraulic buffer and I now run a sprinco extra heavy "orange" spring. I was running a tubbs flat wire spring but changed to get more closing force. I run a JP high pressure bolt that has a very heavy ejector spring, but how is that involved?

    Dirty vs Clean barrel COAL

    I have now shot 170 rounds with no change in OAL. Then I cleaned the barrel and shot 30 rounds of Varget with Lapua brass and 40 rounds of hornady brass with H4350. I then measured the OAL with my 87 Bergers, and got 2.060 inches. I thought WTF? I then cleaned it and remeasured and got...

    Rifle Scopes Anyone hunt coyotes with FFP?

    Dirty vs Clean barrel COAL

    Somewhat of an update. I loaded some rounds with hornady brass and pretty much the same other components. Varget and Berger 87 VLDs. Obviously the primer was different. I used a CCI Br2. Anyway... I shot 72 times with those and a few other loads with Lapua brass and small rifle primers...

    Rifle Scopes Anyone hunt coyotes with FFP?

    I think holding over is lame. I want to dial for long distance every time. Almost all new tactical scopes with exposed turrets are FFP. Thus the original post.

    Rifle Scopes Anyone hunt coyotes with FFP?

    Most my shots are 150-200 yards. I'm not gonna holdover anything. I just worry about having nothing but the thicker outer lines to use to try to center a shot on a dark target at low power. Seems like I'm not the only one thinking this way.
