Factory mag box. Plenty long to seat the bullets out until they touch the lands and still fit on the mag box.

Photos texted to Alex.

Got mine. Taylor will probably win it.......

Still here. Less than 65% of new cost, no tax, no shipping if we meet FTF. And a custom paint job! From back when B&C had some QA/QC personnel working for them.

I got your target back today, and see the two "X"ed out shots. No sweat, they won't count against your score. Great shooting by the way.

Factory Remington BDL bottom metal. Cerakoted and skim bedded by Phoenix Custom Rifles.

This actually brought a tear to my eye. Thanks, I am sure you are correct. I hope to use it this year on my early rifle bull hunt and take a good bull. My daughter Taylor took the first elk ever with the rifle last year, a fat juicy cow. I am sure he was grinning ear to ear up there watching her take that cow.

Definitely not broken. Just tinkering.....again.

This. I just got a spotter last fall before a late season elk hunt, but have already used it a ton. 10s on a chest harness, 15s for glassing out to 2 miles, spotter for close inspections.

I am going to be starting some more load work. Going to try the Hornady 175 ELD-X. Even though I know the Berger 180 Hybrid works very well. Here was my 5 shot group at 802. 180 Berger Hybrid @ 2996fps

Bump

What about a .260? Right in between, better ballistics than either the .243 or 7-08. Most .243s are twisted for 90-100gr. max. Manageable recoil without a brake, better for deer than the .243, and enough for elk with good 140gr bullets. Maybe equal to the 7-08 150gr. Bullets. Flatter trajectory and better speed too. I can vouch that a .260 is plenty to take big mulies out to 650 yards with authority.

Nothing new but the name. Nice not being a belted mag, even though I have never had issues with a belted mag. Very similar ballistics to other rounds. Just a new fad to get the Nosler name out. 28 Nosler, 7 RUM, 7 Dakota, 7.21 Fire bird, 7 Allen Mag, 7 STW, etc. 30 Nosler, .300RUM, .300 NM, .300 Dakota, 7.82 Warbied etc. 33 Nosler, .338 RUM,. 338 Edge, .338 Weatherby, .338-378 Weatherby, 8.59 Titan, etc.

I got another Vortex Viper 6.5-20 from DouglasGunGuy last year. Good price for a good scope. Seller is good to go too.

I assume from the box they are the "high" (1.00)? If they were the "mediums" (.92"), I would be all over them.

I load 50 V-max @ 3300 in my AR for yokes and Jacks. But I have used my 69 SMK @ 3033fps target loads on them as well, with good reaults.

I received 5 more returned in the mail yesterday.

Depends on application. Most take a ring that screws into the scope bell/sunshade and then the cap and ring snap onto the adapter ring.

If all you are looking for is good scope caps, try Aadmount or Tenebraex. All I use on my scopes. Then get a good scope to put them on.

D35 rear? ARB, OX, or Eaton E-lockers? Clean looking XJ for sure.

6Anut nailed it. Exactly what we do.

I will be out shooting a couple ladder tests on Saturday, trying to get some load development done asap before scouting season starts.

Next shoot is a 50 yard .22LR shoot. Already designing the targets.

What about RL22 or RL23? I know RL22 works great in my .25-06AI pushing 115s to 3400+, with other loads close to 3500, but not as accurate. RL23 is similar, and much more temp stable.
