If you check pressure is absolute then it cancels out the other information. I use the reading from my 1600B and has been spot on.

I'm working out of state found out about it 4 hrs before it went up.

It turned my collection of custom rifles into a whole bunch of barreled actions. Looks like elk camp will be a little more basic this year.

Last time I was in Delores the park in town had some killer small mouth fishing then I've done really well on trout in the west fork.

I've quit a couple dozen pretty good jobs just cause it was hunting season! Don't know that I've ever taken a job that wasn't better than the last.

Exactly what Lance said! The 9 to 13 would be great off the bench but it can be pretty tough to find a spot to shoot from when you have rocks, grass, and bushes in the way.

Multi rifle case for large scoped hunting rifles and accessories
dse replied to Tac's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
I use a SKB Quad scoped rifle case. I've fit 3 scoped rifles, a shotgun, a pistol, a pair of binoculars, and a few hundred rounds of ammo in it going to Alaska. Everything always got there intact. TSA has managed to break a lock or two off of it, but SKB is absolutely awesome about getting them replaced. I would receive new ones in 3 to 4 days in a little village in western Alaska that overnight mail typically takes over a week. -

Of the rifles you were considering the CDL would have been my top pick. -

How fast did you get it to go? -

Also get the 130 gr cutting edge MTH, or the 145 gr Hornady ELD-X. Both have a B.C. of around .530 ish and will work in a 10 twist. -
Why?! Look what it did to him!

Keep an eye out at Cal ranch. I paid around $350 for the 700 adl I built my 300 Rum on.

I don't think I've been anywhere a rebel craw hasn't worked! Even had red and silver salmon hit it.

General Purpose/ Back up Rifle

It should do fine with both. Too fast is alot more forgiving than too slow. My 22-250 Ai has a 7 twist for the 80 & 90 gr Berger Vld. I've shot several bullets out of it that will stabilize in a 14 twist with sub 1/2 moa accuracy. -
Helly's & Grinders are definitely the best, but take something lighter too if it gets much above 60° you will burn up in them!

Just spent the last two months in Missouri. Better make some friends that have farms! Most of the conservation areas you can throw a rock from one side to the other.

Go to Idaho!!! Dave Smith motors in Kellogg. When I bought mine last year checked all over the western part of the country. It's worth a look! Plus Kellogg is a way nicer place to be this time of year!

Always One To Tinker... .300RUM w. 230 Hybrids?
dse replied to lancetkenyon's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
What's the COAL? I believe I can go to 3.800 and still fit in the Wyatt box on my 300 Rum. -
Get it in Anchorage! You don't buy rain gear in the desert! Check out Big Rays they'll have what you need.

Probably the best gas truck motor at this time. Plenty of power and decent fuel mileage. Have 5 work trucks with the big hemi, 4 are always 16 to 18 mpg the other is 12 to 14 but it's always in town. Has better low end power than your usual gasser.

The Smith that built my rifle probably has built more 220 Swift Ai than any other caliber
-
Yes they are really close 40° shoulder on the Ai and 30° on the creedmoor I believe, other than that almost identical. However you might have a little trouble with collapsing the shoulder necking down 6.5 brass. One reason for my somewhat light fire forming load is it's nearly the same point of impact at 100 yds as the 80 gr Berger load, two clicks right or left to switch between loads. Making brass by shooting rabbits and prairie dogs seems like alot more fun than necking down cases.

22-250 AI is hands down my favorite varmint cartridge, and probably my favorite rifle. I've taken rabbits, coyotes, and prairie dogs out to around 1000yds and a coues buck at just shy of 600yds. Almost no recoil from a 12lb rifle, you can watch vapor trails and bullet impact in the scope. Good quality brass like Lapua, Nosler, and Norma are pretty easy to find and really easy to form. My fire forming load is the 53gr v-max at 3500 fps but I've pushed the same bullet well over 4000 fps. I've loaded the 75 gr A-max to 3600fps and the 80gr Berger Vld to 3450 fps. Next will be the 90 gr Vld Should be able to get close to 3300 fps.

Swift Scirocco bullets accuracy
dse replied to apache12's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
They shot 3/4 moa from my 257 wby mark v, which isn't horrible I guess but the rifle will sub 1/2 moa with factory 115 nosler ballistic tips. I've done very well with the Scirocco in 243 270wsm and 30-06 AI.
