Backcountry vehicle recovery specialists in Prescott area?
dse replied to MT_Sourdough's topic in The Campfire
Where's it at on fs21 I don't have a SxS but had my truck through that road all the way to half way house last week -
It could be moderate in one 300 mag and primer piercing pressure in the next. Most large capacity cases using slow powder can't be down loaded very far as it can cause irregular pressure and hang fires so the difference from minimum to moderate to max pressure can be a pretty small percentage.

It was a hot topic last year during hunter safety. The warden who came in said a small sidearm is acceptable and even warned that different wardens will give you a hard time. He said he would not say anything as long as the barrel length was 6 inches or less. But if you had a contender or something similar he would write a citation. Game and fish cannot stop us fro protecting ourselves. He went as far as to tell us shotguns for dove have to be locked up while bowhunting.I wish they had a better definition in the regs Sounds like a warden taking the law into his own hands. I'd like to see him in a court room defending those citations. The don't have to most people don't fight them

Just pulled in the driveway coming home from 12a. Saw well over 1000 deer in 4 days. Been just barely freezing at night but the wind has been stiff.

Finally got this thing shooting like it should! Messed with several powders and a few bullets in the last couple weeks. Originally wanted to shoot the 75gr A-max but found that bad things happen to accuracy at the speed this cartridge will push it (at least in a 1 in 7 twist). Switched to the 80gr Berger vld and 41gr of Rl-22. I'm getting 3420 fps with an Es of 9 100 yd group measured .235" Backed up to 700yds, my drop was 1/2 moa low but the group was right at 2" The coyotes are in big trouble!

Building a 22-250 AI on a savage model 11. I'm looking for a decent stock to replace the plastic junk that came on it. Haven't been able to find a stock made for the 11 with bottom bolt release, but found one that fits a model 10 SA with bottom bolt release. Wondering if there is any reason this stock wouldn't work.

I have the vx-6 in 3-18x44 on my 270 Wsm. For the money they are a decent scope. The glass could be a little better, but it's as good or better than anything I've seen in the same price range. Never had any issues with tracking. Now I'm kind of a Leupold fan, but if this is the build of your dreams why not put the scope of your dreams on it. I got my 300 Rum from PCR in March and I went with the Nightforce 5-25x56 F1 ATACR. It's an ok scope but its not everything I had hoped for. If I had it to do again the S&B, Kahles K624, or the Swaroviski X5 is where I would be looking.

The only time I've had a scope break it was pretty obvious, the cross hairs would tilt a couple degrees every shot. I would give it a good cleaning and check the torque on rings & mounts as well as the bedding screws. I would also check the crown, I have had one rifle with a small chip in the left side of the crown, every group I fired would be one in the bull and every shot after would be a 1/2" further right.

Midway Usa has Hornady 250 Savage in stock $38 per 50 count.

There's a guy in cordes junction that does blueing. He does good work and is pretty affordable.

Has to be a TSA approved case. If you want my opinion, get the SKB. I know from experience that the useless deadbeat bunny hugger hippie's that work for the TSA will do their best to try to break it.

Diamondbacks, Timberrattlers, and prairie rattlesnake's can all be green, and Mohave's are not always green.

Got the new B&C stock....fit question??
dse replied to Viper's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
My brother and I put stocks on our REM 700s a couple years ago he decided to take the speed bumps out I wanted to see how it shot first. Mine shot 1/2 moa with the pressure point his shot around 6 moa without. -
This is what I use. They have them rated for -10,-20,-25,and-40. The -10s and -20s are plenty warm and still really usable, the -40s are too heavy to really function in.

Problems 7mm Rem Mag 162 ELD X
dse replied to Paladin529's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
Have you tried touching the lands? Getting 1/4 moa in my 300 rum 10 twist from Rl-22 Nosler brass 215m and 200gr Eld-x. Haven't had time to play with the 212gr yet. -
Which factory ammo to extend range/accuracy of my .270?
dse replied to Viper's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
I've killed one coues with the 130gr ttsx from 270 WSM Mv 3400 fps. Deer was facing me at 274 yds. Bullet hit him in the throat and exited the back left hind quarter. Flipped him over backwards, he didn't move for almost 30sec then jumped up and ran 50 yds then expired. -

1 Double Tap 130gr Swift Scirocco 2 Federal Premium 130gr Trophy bonded tip 3 Nosler Trophy Grade 130gr Accubond 4 Hornady Superformace 130gr interbond All will absolutely crush a coues well beyond 500yds -
I don't mind the snakes and scorpions, but would just hate to share my bag with a skunk.

Looks like fun! Can't wait to get my new 22-250 Ai to a dog town!

223 Reloading for Hunting/Accuracy (Updated with success)
dse replied to CouesPursuit's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
53gr Hornady v-max for coyotes and any other varmints. 62 gr Swift Scirocco's for anything larger. The 53 gr v-max has the best BC of any varmint type bullet in .224, plus it makes a sweet sound when it smacks something. The Swift's BC is as good as anything except the big a-max, and is a awesome game bullet. -
I have a couple of vx-3i 4.5-14x40 cds I've been using for a while. They are pretty much the same as the old vx-3, just a new coating on the glass. They do seem to be slightly better in low light.
