Factory rifle? 1. Shoot one, clean for 10 shots. 2. Then shoot 10, clean, done. Custom rifle with a good barrel? 1. Shoot one 2. Shoot one 3. Shoot one 4. Repeat 1-3 until accuracy falls off. I have several rifles that will shoot in the .1-.2s all the time that have gone through this method. I highly doubt a "break in" would have improved anything. More damage is done by improper cleaning than shooting. When I do clean, it is a complete strip. I use Shooters Choice #7 and Sweets 7.62 for copper removal. Last clean of several rifles with up to 200 rounds through took 2 passes with Sweets to get all copper out. A good barrel should not need a lot of cleaning.

Thanks!

I am not a fan of radial brakes. They work GREAT. But they blow dirt, sand, rocks up into your face and all over your rifle when shooting prone or sitting. I hate that.

Your mailbox is full. Interested for my brother. Take PayPal? Ship to Glendale, AZ?

I cannot glass for extended periods with my spotter. I use my 10x42s for glassing out to a mile. Then switch to my 15x56s and re-glass anything from 800 and out to 2 miles or so. I spotted antelope at 7+ miles with my 15s according to a map I checked later. Spotter is for a closer look at game a long ways out.

Try Eric @ AxisWorks. He is a machinist by trade, and a perfectionist by design.

My 7RM with APA Micro Bastard brake in 1/2-24 is turned to blend with the #3B Bartlein. Eric @ AxisWorks has his own line that is similar. Again, turned down to blend with a #3B Bartlein.

Hmmm.....I see your 24....

That is sexy right there...

Heavy barrel channel?

Varmints, javis, antelope, Coues, long range prairie dogs, Mulies, lions, meth heads, etc.

Do you think the 95gr will have problem feeding from a 700 SA box? I know the 90gr is 1.17" any idea on the 95? The .22-250AI is a fairly short case compared to other SA cartridges. I think seating the bullets long would not be a huge issue. 90 VLD OAL is 1.25". 90 SMK is 1.171". I would think the 95 SMK would have to be around 1.20-1.25"? Most SAAMI COAL are in the 2.35 range. Case length is 1.9079 max. Factory R700 SA magazine box is 2.865". A Wyatt's box will get you another .130", for a total of 2.995" inside. My 6.5 SS (case length of 2.035" IIRC?) pushing a 150 SMK seated WAY out is at 2.9895". 150 SMK bullet length is 1.46" OAL.

Bartlein 1:7". Set it up to shoot even the new 95 SMKs, and everything else will shoot great. The Berger 90 VLD should still shoot well with the velocity you should get. Or a 78gr Cutting Edge MTH. Anything else will shoot lights out from 55gr and up. I have thought about a .22-250AI or .22-243AI fast twist for quite a while.

Depending on final MV (2750-2850), I would think 650-800 on deer, 500-600 on elk.

My son-in-law is a Ford mechanic @ Rodeo Ford in Avondale. He does side work too.

Could have been legally shot, gutless method, and then just take the antlers of a small bull. Could have been legally shot, but not immediately found. Meat was bad when it was located. Salvaged the antlers only. But probably neither of the above.

My dad took me ever since I was tall enough to reach a light switch. That was seriously his criteria. Small game, dove, rabbits, lizards, quail. He taught archery at summer parks & rec. We also fished a ton. First big game hunt was when I was 14 for archery deer and turkey. Took me a year, but I got my first Turkey and I was hooked for life. Looking back, he has only taken 1 big game animal ever. A ride deer. A very small forkie up on the Kaibab with me about 20 years ago.

6.5mm 127 LRX @ 3020fpsMV. Shot was 637 yards. 637 yard retained velocity was probbably around 2070fps. 650 was our limit for that bullet. Further out would have used the 140 HVLD for better retained velocity and better SD and expansion. Smashed onside front shoulder blade, shattered a vertebrae, exited offside shoulder. Deer dropped in his tracks. Copper bullets need more velocity to expand properly over the lead core bullets. But I still like 1800fps minimum even for a lead core. I also zapped a muley at 488 pushing a .257" 100 TTSX @ 3650MV. Deer didn't even react at the shot. Bullet travelled about 36" of deer before exiting. Entered neck/shoulder junction, exited offside hip of a hard quartering on deer. I think copper definitely has it's place, but not in every situation. Same with any bullet type.

Photo of Ford 550 Hoes for reference...but these look more like 750s to me. Weights: 11k?

All of my hunting rifles except my AR have brakes. To be honest, I don't even wear plugs when I take a shot on game. The only one that really rings my ears is my .300RUM. That thing is a beast.

Looks like a big pig! Congrats.

Jamie Gave her that nickname 20 years ago after she chewed his butt about something and it stuck. everyone calls her The warden even her mom who was a real Warden I guess it could be worse 35 years a few weeks ago unlike most people I know that are on the 2nd 3'rd 4th 5th wife in 20 years We can do anything we want any time and dont have to ask one another. all that crap stopped the day we had kids 27 years ago Delw 35 years is commendable. Congrats.

Your a victim You should get a lawyer and sue both your wife an amazon.then you do the following , Stay in the Kitchen were you belong and report Immediately to Fagbook ...... Dude are you f'n serious. its for household use, it will probably get used once a month if that, even if it was commercial use you would never know the difference, your like a spoiled little brat you saw something bigger and better and now looking for excuess's to justify a different one. and your claiming Amazon pulled a fast one thats just ludicrous Then you have to Ask this stupid question on A hunting website Bah Humbug Delw Del in Spanish is "of the". Maybe W=wife. Maybe this is the OP's butthurt wife?

I have a 3-15×50 Premier Heritage Light Tactical on my .280AI. I was shootingbit at 1400+ on rocks smaller than deer sized game. I managed to shoot a 2.9" 3 shot group at 926 yards with it. I also shot a coyote at 1365 yards with a scope set on 17x. Plenty of scope magnification for that shot.

Did you get the XP? Yes. And got a $50 mail in rebate with it too.
