    FS: Federal 9mm

    $0.65 cents a round, that seems like a fair number based on Ammo seek. Plus, no tax or shipping. I have not tried to buy any cause I am stocked up so who knows. I have 1000, and will break it up into 200 round blocks. Been stored in the bottom of my closet for a few years is all. I just broke the seal for the picture. Just need a little money for Christmas and this might put some ammo under your tree. East valley

    Its supply and demand. I wish people bought like this all the time, then supply would stay up. We need more Americans buying guns and ammo.

    Long Range Coues

    Long range coues, 730 yards seated off a tripod with a 7 sherman short mag. The kid pulled the first shot high cause of buck fever. He settled in on his second shot and put one through the boiler room, taking out a lung and liver, exited through his guts and blew a giant hole filled with chewed up grass in his rear leg. It ran 20 yards and laid down dead. Kid put a second one in him for good measure when he was laying there.

    WTB 25-20 Winchester Ammo/Cases

    Reminded me that I needed to buy bullets to reload. Hard to find stuff for the 25 20 win these days. Found some 60 grain Hornady bullets though. I am gonna take it out coyote hunting one of these days. Gotta take something with it.

    Savage 338 Lapua

    Bump! Ammo is hard to find, but I have two full boxes of Hornady match ammo I need to sell! It shot well through the Savage .338 lapua I sold a while back.

    christensen arms 7mag optics?

    I run the 5-25 on my match rifle and the 3.6-18 on my hunting rifle, CCH reticle. For the money, they are one of the best scopes. It is the only Leupold I would own for long range shooting... I sold off all the budget rifles, handguns, ARs and optics I had collected over the years and bought the scopes barely used between 1500 and 1600 bucks. It is worth having awesome gear in the safe, rather than a lot of stuff that I never shoot.

    I've said some bold things in this thread and another, so I am prepared to eat my hat in shame if necessary. Anyone who wants to come play, I have calendared shooting Saturday, January 30, 2021 9:00 am until we've had enough fun. If it is just a couple people, we can hike and shoot rocks. If there is a bigger group, then I can find somewhere to set up steel at increments out to 1000 yards. We can do it out between Gila Bend and Maricopa, accessible to East and West siders. PM me if you are in. To anyone who beats me--we can make the rules up as we go--I will give you a shooting bag. If people just want to come shoot, they are welcome to come see me eat my hat in shame. I can show you what I know within my competency. I'd welcome any others who know more than me to be there and chime in. Its gonna be informal.

    No offense taken. Tripod shooting was bleeding edge sort of stuff a year or two ago. Its only cutting edge now. We live in an amazing time for precision rifle and long range. I really love to share the new exciting stuff that is coming out. Tripod shooting is a very new skill, and still developing. I will throw out a "humble brag" cause it isn't something I figured out on my own... I got really lucky and trained in Texas with a lead instructor for the Marine Urban Sniper training ( https://www.rauchprecision.com/training ) who is/was professional associated with Hog Saddle as an instructor, and with a lead instructor for special forces sniper training detachment (got to fly to CO and shoot with him on base). I'm just a noob who made some cool connections through Facebook with other passionate guys and took the time to fly and train with them. It also helps that I make shooting bags that they buy and use for their training, hunting, and professional use. I also make the shooting bags for Hat Creek Training, a premier mountain/high angle precision rifle training facility. Just shipped 25 before Thanksgiving for a new class starting today. https://www.facebook.com/HatCreekTraining/photos/a.2259957187366689/3541380012557727/ Not many people have seen or understand how fast and easy it is to set up for a tripod shot. I practice speed deployment of my tripod all the time. My legs are marked on my tripod. I could probably do it blindfolded. Many times, if I am already glassing, the time for me to switch from glass to a rifle shot is exceptionally quick. Often times, just changing the angle of one leg and mounting my rifle. The bags actually make it more flexible and quicker to set up and get on target. Having shot off something like you have before, and now learning to use a tripod, I know that I personally can shoot much more accurately off my tripod. In many positions I am as stable as prone. I'd bet I could set up and shoot as fast or faster than you'd ever suspect. If you've ever shot PRS type competitions, you know how fast you can get into a position and make 9 shots on multiple targets all in 90 seconds or less. I would not have believed it myself a few years ago. It is a sport and I'd never carry a match rifle hunting, but a lot of it directly translates to hunting. And, even the technology has changed. My current tripod and ballhead set up is something that I'd bet the vast majority of hunters have never seen. With distance, quite often comes time and opportunity, so setting up is usually not a time crunch. I had a long time to set up there in Alaska. On my buddy's sitka, we were hiking to a new spot when he saw the deer. I had it all out of my pack and set up with the shot taken in less than 2 minutes at 575. If you want to see what guys are doing with tripods, here is a pretty good tutorial about it. https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/field-match-tips-tricks-and-stage-examples-for-ukd-team-field-match.6980614/post-8495271 I should put my money where my mouth is and do a video showing at least one typical deployment of my tripod...

    300 win mag rifle opinions

    100% agree recurveman. I reload for precision as well. One thing I would add is don't overgun it, cause you don't need to add unnecessary recoil to the things you need to learn. Ballistically, recurveman is right, it won't matter what lead is flying, dead is dead. But, you don't need the extra punishment, IMO. 30-06 or 7mm rem mag are my choices for that reason, especially braked with a good recoil pad. Make shooting easy. If you were only to hunt deer, a 260 rem or 6.5 cm, or even a 243 win or 6 creedmoor is deadly inside 500. For most shooters, 500 is a practical maximum range that can be achieved without diving deep into the weeds. It bears repeating, like recurveman said, the time behind the rifle is what makes you deadly, far more than the cartridge choice. In fact, I am confident enough that with my 6mm creedmoor I could put a 115 grain VLD hunting bullet into the ribs of an elk inside 500 yards and that bullet would double lung it to do more tissue damage than an 300 wm accubond in the same spot. It is the bullet construction and velocity that is doing the killing with the Berger VLD. You just want to avoid thick bones if you can, and the lungs behind the shoulder are a big target. I've seen enough kills to know how the bullet performs when it all comes together. Of course, the accubond in the shoulder will do far more damage than the 115 vld would do in the shoulder. Its knowing the gear and performance, that's what takes time and some knowledge.
