    Reloading Equipment Hornady Match 6.5 CM 140

    I’ve got 5 boxes same lot number. Four other boxes different lot #’s for a total of 9. Looking to trade for either similar value number of 300 PRC match ammo, or possibly some nib ADG 300PRC brass.

    Range Report Riddle me this...

    I have been using iBallistic and the like for a few years now. I have never had any issues with trajectory matching up to actual rounds on paper... at any range within 1K. When I work up loads, EVERYTHING gets shot over my Oehler 35P. The chrono has always been reliable and accurate. My question...

    2000 MR and 200 SGK in .308

    Anyone try this yet? I've shot the 190 SMKs with 46.5 gr and it shoots lights out. I bought a box of the 200 Game kings just for fun. I might go out monday and shoot from around 44 to 47 gr if no one pipes in. My AR10T just loves anything Sierra. It looks like the 190 MK and the 200 GK are made...

    Hunting & Fishing First elk of 2012 with a rifle in CO?

    So I had the opportunity to go on an elk damage hunt with my friend Alex. ( I believe he is ridgerunner here on the hide.) I get about 2 hours of sleep, speed down to the Alamosa WalMart to meet Alex and purchase the license by 0500. I made it in plenty of time, and we were out hunting on his...

    Hunting & Fishing Two stands, two dogs

    I got the green light from my wife to go out hunting. It just so happens that I was able to head out with my calling partner, Steve, too. It's great when every thing just seems to come together. Even the weather cooperated. A part of the deal was that I had to take the oldest one to school, and...

    Power Pro 2000 MR & 190 SMK

    I had to try a pound of this new Alliant powder. I intend to shoot some 175's (JLK's) too, but I have a box of 500 190's, so these came first. I couldn't find any data, so I did a little estimating, and came up with 43.0-47.0 in 1/2 gr. increments. I was using CCI BR2's and new WIN brass with a...

    Hunting & Fishing 126 yards .22 short

    12 MOA comeup from a 50 yard zero equals: He was going to be table fare, until I got an email from my wife saying that tularemia was found on a rabbit less that 1/2 mile from our house. So, he became a stone called a leav-er-rite. I was using my Kimber Model 82 that now wears a Leupold 4.5-14...

    Hunting & Fishing .308 Prairie Dog Triple IMR 8208 & 110 VMAX

    This was a combo I had to try out for the .308. We are having issues with some mange coyotes, so I figured I'd save the fur friendlier bullets for their fairer furred friends, and see what kind of effect these would have on the uglies. I'm thinking they'll work smashingly well. I used an OAL of...

    .220 Swift

    I picked up an old Ruger from sscoyote. I've never loaded for it. I have on hand 55 VMAX's and Varget. Any pet loads with Varget out there? I have an inkling that best accuracy will be like most Hodgdon stuff, toward the higher end. I also am entertaining the idea of some RL17 too. If the RL17...

    Hunting & Fishing A couple of FUNKY coyotes

    I haven't had the best of luck with good looking coyotes this year. I got three great badgers and a beautiful bobcat, but the coyotes, not so much. Here's a couple of the funky ones. The first picture is one I got last month that was around 500-550 yards or so. The second picture is one I got a...

    Range Report Austin, TX Range?

    I'll be headed to my sister's place for the holidays, and I was wondering if any of you have any input as to any decent public ranges. I have a couple of nephews who are looking to do some shooting. Anyone have any ideas, or anyone willing to let us shoot on some property? Thanks in advance, Eric

    Hunting & Fishing .243 AR10/87 VMAX vs. 712 yd. antelope

    I was fortunate enough to hunt yesterday on some private land south of here for late season doe antelope. A friend of mine who knows the property like the back of his hand was escorting me. We were able to put a stalk on this goat and one other that was with her earlier, but that was not meant...

    Hunting & Fishing .243 vs. Mulie Buck

    I went out yesterday for the second time this week in search for a freezer filler. I took my girls last week, but came up only with a coyote at a measly 900 yards. It wasn't in the plan for a yote, so we ended up with an extended nature walk. I posted this over in exterior ballistics, too. Take...

    Hunting & Fishing He's not much to look at...

    So yesterday on a whim, I decided to get a leftover doe antelope tag. I got permission from a local landowner and headed out this am, late in fact. Colorado allows for immature males to count as a doe tag. Either way, I couldn't pass up the broadside shot at 385. The 87 VMAX did it's job and he...

    OLD SCHOOL!

    When my father in law died, we inherited some of his arsenal. Included in this, was an M1 that he bought for CMP matches. It's an assortment of NM parts and some Danish parts as well. He only shot IMR 4064 48.0 gr. and CCI 250 with the 168 SMK. To be honest, it didn't shoot that well for me...

    Hunting & Fishing Coyotes 4, Hunter 1

    I spent a day last week with my partner Steve, looking for some coyotes. We found a few. Something else we found is that I still have a lot to learn. Our first dog of the day was a mangy sob that had us pinned down. We had to crawl a ways to get into a shooting position. I suppose I should...

    Accurate 9mm loads?

    I'm looking for an accurate load for 3 gun and practice thru a G34. I have the Dillon ready to go, just need a place to start. 115's and 124's. I have a ton of once fired I'll be using. Thanks, Eric

    Hunting & Fishing TRIyotes!

    Once again...no friggin' cat! However, I think the effort we put in was worth it. We started calling out west hoping to lure in a bobcat. No dice. We did, however, spot a coyote out in the valley floor about 1025 yards away. The elevation for the shot was good, the windage was not so good. The...

    Hunting & Fishing The Dog Before the Storm

    I went out last week again in hopes of scoring that elusive bobcat. On the way in to making our first stand, my buddy stops me and says, "there's a coyote". I put down the bipod, and popped open the scope caps as he told me "300". I was immediately on target and put the second stadia of the VH...

    Hunting & Fishing The luckiest elk

    I (still) have a late season cow tag that I was hoping to fill. I decided to try a new area. When I arrived, I spotted the herd immediately. The 1500' + elevation gain to them was going to be a bitch, which is probably why I haven't gone out to hunt yet this season. A storm was moving in and I...
