Trade.. Federal PremGM210M Primers for 6.5 PRC
ruppart replied to SpotNStalk's topic in Classified Ads
Sorry I don’t have any 6.5 to trade. But if you’re interested in selling the primers outright, let me know because I’ll take them. -
FYI: 7mm RM and 7-08 Hornady ELDX ammo at Goodyear Cal Ranch

Just in case anyone needs any. Also some smatterings of WSM loadings available. No 6.5 offerings, though. -
If none of the factory rounds are available, I have some 120 nosler ballistic tips, brass, primers, and some appropriate powders. I can assemble something to get your son in the field.

Like new, only 200 rounds fired. This is the non-optic cut version, shown here. Includes all the in-box components (attachable flared magazine well, back straps, extra magazine, etc.). Great little pistol, with excellent ergos, texture, etc. Just found I have a little better trigger reach from my gen 5 glocks when using their large back strap (have very large hands). IM for pictures if interested. $550 FTF in the West Phoenix area. Will bring valid AZ ID, and will need to see the same from a buyer. No trades.

Like new, includes box/sunshade/manual. Got this to play with on a 22-250. Very nice and clear scope, and not too heavy for use on a lighter weight rifle. Not quite what I ended up wanting for this particular rifle, though. No ring marks, glass is pristine, and exterior is spotless. $600 face-to-face in SW Valley area, or $625 shipped USPS. Not interested in trades. -
IM incoming. If still available, I'll take it.

FS: ***SOLD PENDING FUNDS***Tikka T3 Stainless SuperLite 223

A little shy of 7 lbs loaded. Just FYI, rifle has sold. Sorry I didn't mark it last night. -

Yes. Although, just so you know, it did sell last night. Sorry I forgot to tag the post then. -
If you're thinking 223 isn't too loud, you might check out this Tikka T3 in 223 I have listed. It's relatively light (shy of 7 lbs), good scope for what you want, plenty of knock-down for a coyote at your ranges. Having shot both this and an AR, I can attest that the blast is noticeably less from the 22" barrel vs. the 16" AR. But it's still a centerfire rifle cartridge, so it's certainly not quiet.

Great thread; glad I found this! Here's another contribution (originally posted over on forum.nosler.com here). Cow elk, taken with my 7mm-08 pushing a 160gr AccuBond at 2725 fps out my Tikka T3x. I found a small group of cows at about sundown. One stepped out of some cedar trees in a clear grassy spot down hill of where I was at about 360 yards, quartering towards me. I took the shot, and she immediately tensed up & walked a very quick half-circle back behind a tree where I could only see her head. A few seconds later, she flopped over and didn't get back up...no more than 10 seconds after the shoot. Upon inspection/field dressing, I found the bullet (pictures below) had entered between two ribs about 4 inches behind her right shoulder blade and passed through her lungs, liver, and a little of her stomach before coming to rest against the offside hide. My rough measurement says it went through about 22" of elk. Vertically, the bullet hit a little high, in the top 1/3 of her lungs, 4-5" below the top of her ribs/spine. The recovered bullet (after cleaning) weighs 140 grains, yielding ~87% weight retention. My ballistic calculator puts the bullet going about 2250 fps, with 1800 foot-pounds of energy at impact. I had some reservations about using this heavy of a bullet in the 7mm-08, thinking it might not open up well at extended range/lower velocities. Looks like my worries were unfounded, at least for this particular AB. I couldn't ask for any more from the bullet given the conditions. Sorry I didn't have a picture of the elk before field dressing/packing it out. I didn't have my phone with me the night I got her, so the best I could include was the rifle and packed out meat/proof-of-gender.
