    Last nights WEC

    Any one watch? See the matrix style kick? That was one of the best fights! And another congrats to WEC/UFC Bantam weight champion Dominick Cruz. As stated earlier I went to junior high and high school with him, played baseball, football and wrestled with him. He destroyed Jorgensen and he is a GREAT fighter. Dominick is absolutely the LAST guy I would ever though would make a career out of professional fighting. He was such a quiet/small/humble/nice guy. Never saw him as a fighter but dam is he good!

    Looking for a weapon

    Does it have to be a semi auto? And why so? Why not a solid bolt action (Rem 700 is my choice) in say 270?

    270 wsm and H4350 question

    I also thought the RL line of powders was supposed to be temperature sensitive, but after more research and shooting it here, in AZ and in Africa in temperatures from about 30 degres to about 80 degress and finding no difference, I decided that wasnt true. Also, I have complete confidence in H4831sc and it is one of my go to powders.

    270 wsm and H4350 question

    I had better luck from my wsm with H4831sc than H4350, just a heads up

    It has been bugging me…

    The best way to practice, IMHO is to NOT shoot paper other then to sight in the scope. I shoot paper once a year, other than developing loads. When I sight in my rifle (I zero at 200 yards) it is on paper, normally with a chrono. After that, I do not go to the range again. I find the best practice and test is shooting rocks at what ever distance. That way, I shoot prone with a bipod and pack so it is a more field like shooting position yet stable enough to truely test the gun. Pick out a distinct rock and call the shot. Then shoot a 3 shot group and go measure how far from dead center you are, adjust your turret and do it again. I also plug my info to a ballistics calculator before I go out and make adjustments from there. As to the wind... I do not use a meter. If the wind is bending the plants or grass, its too much to shoot over 400 yards. If I think the bullet is going to move more than I am comfortable with, I dont take the shot. (I usually thikn 10 MPH is too much to accurately judge at over 400 yards)

    WTS "Headshot"

    I have not shot this gun since I had "El Chupacabra" made. It was a very good gun to me that I used and shot a lot. Bettin Custom Guns built Mauser 98 with a Shillen barrel. Recently sent back to Todd to bed and fit the McMillian swirly or "McSwirly" in a custom combination called the Coyote Bomber pattern. Gun has a Bold trigger that is VERY light and crisp. To me, it is actually too light, but easily adjusted.... He did that last time it went to him. It breaks like glass at about 1 pound I would guess. While he had it, he also reblued the gun so it looks brand new. He did come across one thing, he did say there was a tiny amount of erosion in the throat, which is to be expected with the rifle having about 700 rounds down the barrel pushing 140 Nosler Accubonds into tiny groups at 3200+ FPS. He stated it was from normal use and it still shoots well. Here are some pictures. The scope that is on it is a Zeiss 4.5-14x50 with turrets. It can be had with the rifle BUT currently it needs to be sent back to Zeiss, where they will fix the elvation turret. The last time it was shipped, the top turret was knocked off. Should be a easy, warranty covered fix. More pictures can be had, let me know. I would like $1,200 for the rifle and $1,700 for the scope/gun combo The gun is a proven shooter. Here is my best group at 100 yards with 140 Nosler Accubonds and H4831sc.

    WTS "Headshot"

    One more price drop, $900 shipped in a hard plastic case, insured. I will leave the Weaver style, 1" rings on the gun.

    2010 Coues deer mount

    Clay, The first point on his left beam would you consider that a extra? Looks to me like that side is a 2 point with a cheater/extra?
  20. Talk about a man who was dedicated to his country and protecting others.... He served in the US marines. He worked at two different police agencies in Michigan. He joined the Border Patrol, and then joined the elite group of the border patrol. Talk about a man who was a true American Hero. RIP Agent Terry.

    Hmmm... That whole once you go to one school and then graduate from another BS you spelled out sure sounded like you saying it was wrong for me to cheer for them. How do you know myself, or one of my family members dont hold season tickets? How do you know how many home games I go to? FYI, I go to every home game I can, when I am not working. That was 4 this year. Narrox, they do not give out the birkenstocks and hacky sacks at freshman orenitation those are required to be accepted into the school. Freshman oreintation, atleast mine was spent cliff jumping, smoking hooka, and spotlighting for elk/deer etc.

    Hey, as long as they have been to a Rose Bowl, who cares right? That seems like Chris' last argument... Well, that and I am a nobody because I dont have a degree, and I shouldn't/can't cheer for U of A because I didnt go there.

    24a november hunt 3 for 3! All tagged out

    What would you like pix of... I have allll the pictures you could want, but for now Ill bore you with details: Red H.beest.: shot was 225 yards. I was using a Kimber 300 WSM with the 168 TTSX. I dont recall MV right now, or exact load data but it was a heavy dose of R25, Federal GMM 215 primer, Federal brass. He was laying down, 1/4ing away from me. I stuck the bullet behind the last rib, found it right at the shoulder opposite side. (straight down) It weighed 167 grains: Next was a Black Springbok. 183 yards, facing me, slightly quartering to. Bullet entered front shoulder was found in rear ham. I believ it weight 156 grains. (straight down) Bullet on the right. The one on the left is the same as above Next was my coues deer. 291 yards standing at a kinda funky angle kinda quartering to, but his back half was higher up than his chest a little. (went straight down) I dont know for sure where the bullet was found and I do not have it yet as the meat processor found it and I havent picked up the meat yet:
