7.62x39 or 6.5 Grendel. I say 7.62x39 because ammo is cheap. It is like having a 300 blackout but being able to afford to shoot it.

I am an oddball and have already figured out and acquired what I plan to be the first rifles for my two boys (5 and 2). 1 is a 6.5x55 sporterized mauser, and the other is a Ruger M77 in 7x57 mauser. I like the old school rounds, and things that are different than the norm.

Not strikeforce. I did my last termite treatment myself. You can buy termidor online or at some local pest control shops around town. I have a concrete hammer drill so that part was free. I did have to figure out a way to pump the chemical in the holes. The answer was a paint sprayer pot from harbor freight and an air compressor. I bought an air blow gun with 18" wand to use to inject it in the hose. If you have dirt around the house you just dig trenches and pour in 5 gallon buckets of chemicals you mix up from the concentrate. I did a 1300 sqft house with a helper in about 5hrs. 3/4 of the perimeter is concrete so it was alot of drilling.

6.5 creedmoor 6.5x55 270 win Don't do a big belted mag for a 13 year old.

115gr Berger and 117gr Hornady BTSP are what my 257 weatherby like. 25 cal is a sweet little round that will get it done.

You as well!

I just bought a bulk of various ammo for 6.5x55. I am going sell some or all of the ammo pictured. If you are interested in a certain type or everything make me a fair offer. Update: Federal is sold. PPU is sold pending meet up next week. If something changes I will bump the thread and let you know what is still available. Harley

Forget about Rancho's unless you are going to pay the big dollars for the adjustable series, then maybe. Bilstein 5100's is what I run, and recommend when people ask me.

Sweet Sweet bull.

Everything is sold pending funds/meeting.

Find your load and sight your rifle in for about 225 yards or so. With that kind of zero you should be point of aim in the kill zone to at least 300. The round shoots so flat it is awesome.

The federal ammo is sold pending funds.

4x12x40 would fit pretty well for a 3006 I think. For a good budget friendly scope that gets it done I like the Redfield revolution series. They are made by Leupold in Oregon. I really like there hold over reticle. I currently have 4 of these scopes and like them all. My buddy has 1 on his 3006 and we have stretched it out to 500 yards with no problems. If you want to pay for a nicer scope by all means do, but don't overlook this one if this is your budget price range.

I have had great luck with the 117gr Hornady BTSP for a cheaper target and shorter range hunting round. My gun likes them better than Nosler Ballistic tips and better than SST's. Berger have been the best followed by the Hornady 117gr BTSP.

Just keep it, and shoot it. Someone is going to get a nice deal otherwise.

If you want the actual recipe pm me and I will go find it. The 7mm brass will give slightly less case capacity vs weatherby brass, but it is alot cheaper if you don't have weatherby brass. It also comes up shorter I the neck area so trimming for length isn't necessary often. I have used 264 win mag brass too, but the 7mm Rem mag brass seems to last longer for some reason. The 264 brass was winchester and lasted about 4-5 loadings. The 7rm brass is remington and is doing better. The primer pockets are usually what goes. Sometimes a neck split. I am not loading super hot either. I found a good load that has shot well and didn't monkey with it. I figure sub-moa at 500 yards is perfectly acceptable for a stock weatherby vanguard with 3x9 scope.

H1000 and Berger HVLD. I make my brass from fire forming 7mm Rem mag brass. I have a load that is sub-moa.

What Lance said. I am using g H1000 and RL22 in mine. RL 23 is a more temperature stable version of RL22. I here good things about Retumbo too for 7rm. Once you find your powder though I would say make sure to stock up a little. Powder is pretty easy to find right now, but that isn't always the case.

Which cartridge?

How much are you look in for, and I will ask him.

My dad has 1, but he hasn't shot it much, and with the prices they command I doubt he will. I almost fell over when I saw dudes tripping over each other to buy one on here for $700 awhile back. My dad won't sell his I am sure. He may not have been a main reason they were built, but he twisted the ear hard of a Ruger rep one time about making them. About a year or 2 later they popped up for sale so I made him buy 1.

That is a good deal on the remington even for just a donor action. If I hadn't bought something I wasn't planning on earlier today, I probably get this.

If you were going to start reloading for a 6.5x55 from scratch what bullets and power would you focus on? A CZ 550 FS just followed me home unexpectedly. http://cz-usa.com/product/cz-550-fs-6-5-x-55-adj-5-rd-fixed-mag/ This will be a medium range light hunting rifle. 400-600 yards on deer is my hope for this. Maybe out to 400 on elk. I really want to hold out for a unit 12 deer hunt soon so I thought maybe a Barnes 127gr LRX, and then possibly another load with a ELD-X, Scenar, Berger,etc? This is the components I know I will use: Lapua Brass Federal GM210's Thoughts or insite? Thanks Harley

I finally got off my dead arse today and started hiking again. I took my 4 year old up to Thunderbird hills and we did a couple miles on one of the mountains. He had a good time and I wasn't in quite as bad of shape as I thought. I still have alot to do though to get some lbs off and get in better shape. I did wear my badlands pack too to start getting used to it. If you see a fat guy with a badlands pack on and a 4 year old ahead of me, it is probably me. Does anyone have any other good hikes locally?

Randalls had 10mm brass in stock buy the pc. I think it was starline.
