Green Bullet

Sweet. I'm gonna try my luck tomorrow down south...

Open to trades for rl22 powder or large rifle magnum primers.

Who does that locally?

Simply amazing.

I'm gonna have to look at the jack closer. These extenders look ok for a boat or something like that but looks like they rate out at 3500-4000 lbs max which is too low for my application.

Thanks I'll give that a try.

Every aspect of your life is improved if you are fit and in good health. Anyone who would disagree is delusional. Healthy body, healthy mind.

heading out for archery javelina and deer if i see one. never hunted there before but going with a friend with some experience in the area. open to any and all suggestions. happy new year.

2nd time taking my new 7mm mag out. so far it's working out pretty good. i've been focused exclusively on characterizing the ogive to base measurement....i went a little granular in between two windows that seemed to stand out on the last outing. Shooting 60gr RL22, 168gr Bergers hunting VLDs, and with the following jump: Top left: .05 Top Right: .06 Bottom Left: .07 Bottom Right: .08 Center: .09 (I narrowed it to somewhere in between .05 -.09 on the last trip). all shooting was done from a sled today. all in all, pretty happy. i'm not sure why the bottom right group was looser than the others...i shot another group of this load and had .464" group....so i might have been getting chilly/tired. i'm going to go with the midpoint group (bottom left) as it looks like i have margin on both ends of the spectrum. now the question is do i dick around with increasing the powder charge or do i call it good. aside from the obvious benefit of jacking up the charge (slowly) to get more speed and energy, what are the other considerations? I was thinking it might be better to keep it at 60gr as it's lower recoil and less wear and tear on the barrel (which i'm keen to in good shape for a long time...not a cheap investment). thoughts? Miles

That's the next step... To stretch it out now and hold constant for a bit.

All from 100 yds, pretty fair conditions. Oh, I made a 1/2 moa adjustment on the bottom right and center group...

Phenomenal accomplishment. Congrats.

I wholeheartedly agree. It was hard but she's going to a good home.

thank you all for the interest. i'm meeting up with couesdeer for rehoming. sounds like a great fit and home. thanks again for offering to help. happy she's going to a new home. Miles

she got one of those chips in her as well...i'm sure that can be transferred over to the new owner...

here's a pic. she's a full breed (I saw her mama and papa) but i don't have papers. sorry for the rotated pic...not sure how to fix it but you get the idea.

great job and congrats!

Got my new toy yesterday. Phoenix Custom Rifle Build. 7mm Rem Mag. Stiller Predator Action Night force ATACR 4-16x42 McMillan stock with custom paint job with flush cups Brux Barrel with intermittent fluting Timney trigger Atlas bipod on the way Triad tactical sling on the way Seekins Rings Load development starts tomorrow night. It's a looker and I'll make it a shooter.

yeah let me know what works for you. i'll start a little lower and work up as you suggest....

i shoot this bow. a great value for the price....you get 90% of the performance in a charger for 65% of the cost compared to hoyt's highest end bows. good luck with the sale.

after i got all the components (which didn't involve lead times greater than 2 weeks) the actual build took around 10 weeks or so. with hunting season we probably lost a week or two but i wasn't pushing too hard.

Lol. Yeah it's really custom being a lefty. Weight is just over 11 lbs (these scopes are tanks but that was a conscious decision for durability), contour is a 5 if memory serves me right with. 9tw ss barrel. I'm gonna start with reloaded 22, 168 Berger VLD hunting and 65 grains. I was going to keep the load constant and characterize the jump first, then when I narrow down the jump optimize further around the load. Open to suggestions on that process.

New rifle, cerakote finish...these are the choices on amazon...any opinions? SLIP 2000 Hopps #9 synthetic blend OTIS Technology O12-C My gunsmith uses KG1 but amazon doesn't carry that....

that's a dandy. i think i saw you guys scouting canyon pretty hard the last month or so (green bass boat)...glad you connected.

7mm, rem mag....what's a good starting point for the jump? testing rl22 and imr 4831 powder, , berger 168 VLDs
