    Recs for 8 yr old first hunting rifle????.

    IMR/Hodgon has Reduced recoil 270 win loads listed in their online load data. 110gr and 120gr going about 2500fps.... Turn that rifle into a 6.8spc they work great on deer. My son used a 16" 300blk for his first deer when he was 8. At the time the only 6.8 upper I had was an 11.3" and it was...

    Thoughts on the Aero Precision SOLUS ?

    I'm planning on loading and shooting another 50 rounds with the load going 3050fps over a couple of range session maybe out to 500 yards. Just to make sure it holds out. So far I feel pretty lucky with this barrel a bad load has still been about 1.5". I really want to play with a 25 Creed. I...

    It was a barreled action I bought and put in a greyboe. It does about that, maybe a touch bigger with 169gr smk and 178gr bthp. Those loads were developed in my 20" AIAT. I'm more interested in shooting 125-130s from it mostly for my kids. I have other rifles for shooting heavier bullets.

    Thoughts on the Aero Precision SOLUS ?

    Did some testing with the 20" 308 imr4895 & Sierra 125gr tipped game changers. 3 shot 100 yards It seems to show promise in the 2940-2970fps range and 3050-3065fps range. The 5 shots on steel was from 300 yards 14mph right to left. With a charge in the middle of what I tested that actually...

    .22 creedmoor fad or just starting

    If you are referring to my post I loaded and fired the first 100 rounds through my barrel/brass fairly low. To get things settled in. I generally do that and my kids and I shoot pdogs and steel with it before I bother working up faster charge. 3200+ with an 85.5 wasnt hard to achieve and I'm...

    .22 creedmoor fad or just starting

    I have a 26" 22 creed for my AI. My kid loves it. He blew up a lot of pdogs with it shooting 88gr eldms at 3000fps. The load I had ready for deer season was an 85.5 Berger at 3215fps but deer season didn't work out for me this year. I have enough 90gr SMKs on the shelf to shoot this barrel...

    I cut the stock back to match the ejection port on the action on the other side. About 5 minutes with a file and some touch up paint looks good enough

    The grip feels thin compared to the HS precision on my Rem 700 police 338L. Very comfortable though. Foreend on this is pretty fat I'd prefer a bit thinner for a hunting rifle but that wasnt my intention for this rifle.

    Its a Greyboe Ridgeback......Bergara gives them away I think I paid $360 from them with bottom metal on a recent sale. It weighs 11# 2oz as it sits.

    Thoughts on the Aero Precision SOLUS ?

    Found a box of 308s I loaded with 125gr TNT WC844 as a ladder/OCW test. My 20" seemed to like them around 2975fps. I probably won't bother loading them again with that powder because of the extreme spreads but the 125 TNT looks promising for blowing up varmints. I have a box of 500 125gr Game...

    338 ARC

    I'm curious what it'll do with supers in a 12.5".....I'll let someone else do the testing before I start ordering parts. Subs don't interest me that much.

    Short barrel cartridges

    I had a 16.75" 30-06 that would push a 165gr to 2725 fps. My 20" 308s are shooting 169s at about 2650fps (they will go faster but I like that load). 16" 338 federal has been around 2425fps with a 200gr and around 2475fps with a 185gr. 16" AR 6.8spc with 90s is about 2850fps and 110gr about...

    Good points. My buddy has laser could definitely do that. Or I have 1000 58gr VMAX bullets on the shelf I could load them up just slower than the velocity they explode at and just let the kids merk pdogs until there's no rifling left.

    Got my 6mm creed overstock barrel today. Only marking on it wont be visible when screwed on the action. I'll probably bead blast and spray paint it anyways. Still on the fence about ordering a 6.5prc barrel. I don't need one but feel like I should get one just to have

    Thoughts on the Aero Precision SOLUS ?

    Yesterday they were $50 off if you bought an over run large frame AR receiver set. For sure if you need one buy one at that current price, I did, but if you just want another one for no real reason and you are indifferent if you get one or not maybe there will be promo code in the future before...

    Thoughts on the Aero Precision SOLUS ?

    Ordered one of the 26" 6creed barrels, for $200 my kids can burn it down on pdogs... I feel like I should order a 18" 308 and a 22" 6.5prc also but I'll wait until they send out a promo code.

    6.8spc bolt gun build?

    I have a factory Ruger Hawkeye 6.8spc. It shoots ok killed a calf cow elk a couple years ago with it shooting 110gr Barnes. I have two Wilson Combat ars barrel that shoot really well. I have considered SBRing an action and making a 12.5 bolt gun to shoot suppressed. For inside 200-250 yards...
