STOMP442

What does that have to do with the topic? And what makes you think there dirty and dont bathe? There beards?? Did they mention something on the show about not having personal hygiene I missed? Either way, like it or not, not everyone(not referring to you Stomp) is ok with other people liking the same sex and it doesnt make them "vile" cause they feel that way. My eyes tell me they need to bathe. Have you seen these guys? Everyone of them look like they haven't seen a bar of soap in months. And yes phil did mention in one of the episodes that he doesn't bathe for long periods of time. I have no problems with beards I happen to be a pretty big ZZ Top fan. I also happen to agree with Phils expressed opinions 100%.

My opinion is that each and every one of them duck dynasty yahoos need to take a bath. Especially that dirty dad and uncle of theirs.I like the show and think it has great values and provides good family entertainment but I have a hard time celebrating people that don't wash their donut on a daily basis. I also wouldn't be surprised that this was not a calculated move to open doors for a spin off or to get out of contract with A&E to make more money on another network. My money is on the show going away and Willie spin off coming down the pipe.

Not this fall but I called a herd in while varmint hunting last year. Been trying to find them again since with no luck.

The 284 winchester was truely ahead of its time. It is an outstanding cartridge.

168 berger and H4831 or Retumbo have worked best for me.

The 6.5s penetrate really well to begin with and when you don't hit a bone on a deer that's only 12" wide at the shoulder there's not a lot there for the bullet to work on. I always aim for bone and the bergers have no problem penetrating then causing massive damage. Keep using them.

As long as you practice with the 180 partition it will be fine. When shooting long range wind is the key factor to worry about. If you practice and know your wind holds with the partition it will be fine. There are definitely bullets out there that do much better in the wind than the partition and provide a lot less wind drift. Personally I like the bergers and you will be hard pressed to find a bullet with a higher b.c. that will deliver more energy less drop and less wind and above all more terminal performance on game.

I also have to stress that as great and wonderful as technology is nothing beats real world experience, data and a log book. These programs will get you close and will definitely get you on the gong at long ranges but is rarely centered up. Small adjustments up or down by a click or two are needed to fine tune in most cases.

Yeah litz mentions that the .512 number is not a constant but works most of the time on most bullets. The other important thing to input is the scope height. I see a lot of people just keep the standard 1.5" and call it good. Scope height makes a big difference in the calculations.

The g7 form factor fits better with most modern day long range bullets having a boat tail and longer ogive. If you know the g7 it will produce a more accurate drop chart as it is not nearly as velocity dependant as a G1. Nosler lists a G1 based b.c. and is generally exaggerated by quite a bit. A quick easy way to estimate G7 b.c. is to take the weight of a bullet divided by 7000 to get its weight in pounds. Then divide that number by the dia of the bullet squared and then divide that number by the bullets form factor. The standard g7 form factor is 1 but some bullets depending on what you are shooting like bergers and Amax have a slightly lower drag profile than the standard in certain calibers so I like to use 0.95 when I am unsure. This will give you the G7 b.c or at least pretty close to it. To find the G1 you simply divide the G7 by .512 For example I will use the sierra 155gr match king in 308 which I know is almost identical to the g7 standard. It has a published G1 b.c of .450 155/7000 = .02214 .02214 / .308×2 = .233 (G7) .233/.512 = .455 (G1) As you can see this comes out pretty dang close to the published .450 bc You can do this for most bullets to find a pretty close estimate in actual b.c. the trickiest part about it is the form factor. All of this data as well as the form factors for most long range bullets can be found in Bryan litz book applied ballistics for long range shooting. Outstanding resource of information and well worth the 50 bucks.

Plink may not be the right word with this cartridge as ammo is pretty pricey at about $17 a box. My local Walmart has some on the shelf but no rifles to go with it.

Nice write up Scotty and some great looking bucks too.

Find any deer?

My one and only DEC tag buck. Unit 30A 2010.

65 grain sierra game king,

Never ever had a problem with them. They are the best bullet money can buy as far as im concerned. They have extremely high b.cs that make them ideal for us coues hunters looking to buck the wind on a cross canyon shot. Terminal performance is oustanding and more often than not the animals will drop where they stand.

Absolutely. These are great rifles for the money and boyds stocks just released 3 stocks custom inlet for the axis. No more flimsy plastic stock and the ability to add a heavier contour barrel.

A 243 fits the bill then. If you do decide to get one I would recommend finding a rifle with at least a 9 twist to better stabilze the high b.c bullets for deer. Might also look into the 260 remington. 85-140 grain bullets offer a lot of versatility as well.

What are you currently using for a coyote set up? The 243 works great but I prefer using at least an 85 grain bullet to maximize the potential of the caliber.

That 6.5 is a beast and one heck of an accurate rifle. Nice to see it racking up some kills. Great pics and stories on these hunts and a couple nice bucks to boot.

Berger lists a max load of 45.3 for H4831 and 48.4 for H1000. 44.5gr of H4831 is what my gun likes with a 95 grain sierra match king. Savage model 10 with 9.25 twist.

Get the Burris signature zee rings. They come with 10 moa inserts just in case you need to add a little and they are the best rings made.

Bump.
