I've been happy using this: http://www.jbmballistics.com/ballistics/calculators/calculators.shtml

You mean when you get your bull!

I'd steer away from cotton on a late hunt.

You should be able to remove the stud from the tripod leaving the lower disk attached and can then thread the head stud into the hole the tripod stud was threaded into.

Thanks for posting. It's making my head hurt though... and I have a Professional Engineering license ;-)

if you install a lighter firing pin with a stiffer spring the pain accelerates faster when the trigger is pulled reducing lock time. This reduces the time you have available to wiggle the rifle and screw up a shot. Called "lock time". While it may not sound like much, .5 to .25 milliseconds, I can make a bit of difference in accuracy by reducing sympathetic movement which causes errors.......or so I have read. Lance, if you get bored you can calculate barrel time reductions for reductions in barrel length... grin Neat rifle!

Headed out this morning with my 541T silhouette rifle and a 20 year old box of match ammo to try to beat the wind. Other than a couple of unexplained flyers, starting with the CBS, I am pretty satisfied.

I'd just get a replacement barrel blank for the 6.5x.270 AI and have it in hand to be fitted when the throat on your first barrel is shot out.

^^^ This, see my avatar for a group from a 15D hunt last year. and another below. The raffle tag holders can hunt anywhere, but many seem to prefer the look of the Neslonis 1203160946b.jpg Auction tag can hunt anywhere. Raffle winners get banana horns to hunt! Aka nelsoni Yes auction hunters get the whole state. raffle winners just get the 15 units I believe which are the nelsoni. I stand corrected...

Given a choice I would shoot prone with a tight sling over my pack, I've also killed game offhand and everything in between. If you get a chance, come out to our hunting rifle shoots at PRGC! I set the course of fire up to better simulate the the field conditions you describe, minus the cactus! It gives you a great feel for what you can and more importantly cannot get away with in field conditions. It's better described on Bill Poole's webpage below. http://arizona-rifleshooting.com/hunting-rifle-shoot-PRGC.html

Mine printed fine Lance. Thanks for organizing this. Mike

Sign me up Lance. Remington 541T w/scope.

My guess is a horse was involved... Great deal!

Hunters and shooters, we will be holding a hunting rifle shoot Sunday April 23rd! This month we will try a "Hunter 3 - gun shoot" to mix it up a little. Come prepared for up to 15 Center fire rifle targets along with 10 shorter range .22 rimfire targets and bring a shotgun for 10 clay pigeon targets. http://arizona-rifleshooting.com/hunting-rifle-shoot-PRGC.html This is a chance to shoot hunting rifles (and shotguns) at realistic field distances and positions at life-size animal targets. All this for fun and realistic practice. We will start before 8 with set up and finish early afternoon typically. We typically fire between 30 and 35 shots, the stages are set up with no more than a handful of shots per stage to prevent overheating barrels and a chance to swap out rifles from stage to stage to allow you to practice with multiple rifles. Please arrive early for set up . These shoots are open to all, you don’t need to be a PRGC member! Cost is $10 for members or $15 for non-members. Eye and ear protection required. Feel free to PM me with any questions. WE HOPE YOU ALL WILL COME OUT AND SHOOT WITH US! Thanks! Mike Samer

Are you seeing the barrel threads at the bottom of the hole?

...

Still available

Great job. Now you are hooked...

These are a great time saver. Love mine.

Any particular preferences in ammo for your .45? I'll out in 37B this weekend with my 1911. Looking for some recommendations for ammo. Otherwise, I was thinking Speer Gold Dot 230's. 230 gold dots should work great. I've killed a half dozen with Winchester 230 black talons with no issues.

I'd talk to Lester Bruno (Bruno Shooting Supplies). FWIW pinning the lug isn't a big deal.

Tuco was a wise man...
