I have 1k CCI 209 mag primers for sale. Off I-17 & 101 area.

I mixed diced jalapeño and either grated cheddar or nasty butt blue cheese crumbles (for my wife only), and sometimes crumbled cooked bacon in with Montreal steak seasoning, and a little bit of A1 and mix thoroughly.

Dang....

I got a new family member! A son-in-law! Pretty good gift!

Good prices.

There is one between Reno and Vegas too. At a truck stop. I stop there every time I roll through.

I used to live on these, and the 2 for $1 hot dogs when I was a single 18 year old living on my own....

Must have been closed due to Covid, but reopened! Great news! The green chile burger is amazing!

Screamers in Wickenburg. Red Onion in Heber Bunhuggers or Diablo Burger in Flagstaff Chuckbox in Tempe Lucky's Burgers in Phoenix And for cheaper, Rocket Burger or Lenny's, even the Burger Shoppe. All delicious. The Burger Shoppe on Thomas and 35th Ave has a HUGE Selection. Beware the King Kong Burger....it is truly monsterous.

Who in the F goes to Arrowhead Grill and gets a burger???? Blasphemy!

Didn't Screamers close a couple years ago? We used to stop there 4 or 5 times a year when out quail or varmint hunting, but I swear they closed down.

Accuracy sucks! 2 of 15 on steel??? 🤣

I have two pair of the Yukon rain pants ($. Waterproof, windproof, full length zippers to gonon over boots, reinforced knees and seat. I have worn them hunting AND working in nasty weather. Light, packs down, but more durable than the lighterweight pants.

Right? I Remember that! Good times!

I got to go scouting with him for his kid's deer hunt. Great guy, truly missed.

In my opinion, the 6.5CM is perfect for a 130. Lapua brass is available. https://www.creedmoorsports.com/product/lapua-brass-6-point-5-creedmoor/Brass You can buy the mixed brass above, but don't mix headstamps when you start reloading. Toss the Hornady and S&B.

Just a heads up on this rifle.... It is a typical Axisworks built tack driver. Shot it today and found a good load to start.

My .280AI has a 1:9" twist. It shoots the 175 Elites amazingly well. Also a 160TMK is deadly accurate and fast. But a mono would be limited to the 145LRX or 154 Absolute Deadblow Hammer. If you plan on shooting monos, a 1:8.5" will shoot up to the 168LRX or 169 Hammer Hunter. It will also shoot up to a 184 Berger Hyb. If you want to maximize for true heavies, a 1:8" will spin a 195 EOL or a 177 Hammer Hunter. My opinion, a .280AI does best with a 160-180. If you want to shoot heavier, might as well step up in case capacity.

The .280AI will push a 140 @ 3200+. Or a 175 @ 2900+ easily. 7-08 won't match that.

Anytime. I have plenty of other scopes and stocks if you want to check them out.

The first shot was 3030, and I thought, "dang, the old 7-08 just gained a bit of respect from me." Then I saw 3034, 3030, 3028 (I think) and was impressed.

1. Brux. I have found Brux are usually fast. But Barnes did use a Bartlein, so this is a variable. 2. 26". Test barrel per Barnes is a 24". That is anywhere from 50-60fps+ alone. 3. Fed 215. Mag primers are hotter. Barnes used Fed 210 LR primers. This could be 10-20fps more with the mags. 4. Brass. Barnes used Rem brass. You are using Lapua. Without knowing the actual case capacity, I bet the Lapua have less than Rem, meaning you are creating more pressure. 5. Powder lot. You could easily have a hotter lot. You have too many differences in components and rifle build to compare and think you would get the same results.

I sent my R700 LA bolt off to LRI for the fluting. I have several of the LRH stocks too. Love them. Again, you are free to fondle them too. I have one sitting on my reloading desk trying to figure out what it will go on as well.

Your build plan sounds very similar to my .280AI. I did a bit of alterations to my R700 LA to lighten it up. Not sure if it was worth it ounce to $$ ratio, but I love it.

R700 box, spring and follower Timney Calvin Elite @ 8oz Seekins alloy 20MOA Picatinny rail Seekins alloy 30mm "Medium" .87" rings Here is my scope suggestion, and what I run on my .280AI. For a FFP scope, If you have a $4k glass budget and want the best glass you can get with amazing turrets and enough elevation to reach out there....Tangent Theta TT315M 3-15×50mm. They come in either MIL or MOA. 27oz. They "only" have 12MIL or 40MOA of usable elevation adjustment, but run those numbers, and you should have enough to reach out to around 1300-1500 depending on your load. I have shot mine out to 1500 with my load. My rifle is 8lbs 15oz scoped. 9lbs 12oz scoped and suppressed. If you ever want to look through a TT315M, let me know. I have four of them, that is how good they are.
