    Who couldn't see this coming?

    Not a bit surprised. I read an equally stupid comment from a San Francisco city employee. She said suburban people are experiencing more break ins and robberies because tourism is down and that tourists are the usual victims of local crime. So Duhhh, locals are going to be the new victims. They...

    Rifle Scopes Scope power recommendations for 22-250

    No I didn’t, I’m sure it a great scope though. I like 2x or less for close shots, like 20 foot close and moving. My Zeiss was a demo, so it was $1100 less than new. My 22-250 wears a vx3 6.5-20, it works fine for groundhogs and such. It’s just to much low end power for fast moving close...

    Rifle Scopes Scope power recommendations for 22-250

    I was in the same boat last year looking for another hunting scope. I was going to go with an NX8 2-20 for a coyote gun, but I wanted something with rain coating, I sometimes hunt in bad weather and have dealt with wet lenses on my NX8 1-8 and it sucks, in dry weather it’s great. I decided...

    StaBall 6.5 in a 22 Creedmoor???

    I’m going to be trying it soon with 95 SMKs I found 16lbs last week. I’m currently using IMR4451 and 90 SMKs with good results in an 8 twist moving 3223 FPS . I have a 7 twist on order for the 95s.

    Where or who is buying all the ammo & loading supplies?

    It’s slowly coming back but you have to be quick. I found H4350 for a normal price the other evening, and it sold out before I could complete check out. I did find 16lbs of staball and 10 lbs of 4451. didn’t get caught flat footed, I remember the Clinton obumer days and stayed prepared. A local...

    22 creedmoor

    I’d say factory brass, other than that probably nothing.

    22 creedmoor

    New to 22 Ceedmoor. I just put a 24” 1-8 twist pre fit Proof on a bighorn action and bought Lapua 22-250 brass. I’m fire forming them with 38.7 grains of IMR4451 and 90 SMKs. They are moving 3178 FPS and stupid accurate. It’s shooting .2s and low .3s. I never thought it would shoot that well...

    Manners Composite Stocks Estimated Lead Times

    I just got an in stock mini chassis for a new Big Horn build in 22 creedmoor and it took 4 days to my door. I placed an online order then called the next am to verify some things, glad I did. I hadn’t ordered what I wanted and the guy I spoke with was great. He looked through his inventory and...

    Let's show some respect...for 6.5 Creedmoor shooters

    I came out of the closet Here’s my wallet five shot group at 515yds, benchmark Palma, 142 SMKs. I used to tell everyone it was a 6.5 Lapua to avoid the shame.

    BSF Bolt Action Barrel Blanks?

    I wouldn’t call it a bad round, I have a Shilen barreled Valkyrie that will smoke a tiny hole for groups and it does well to 1000 yds with 90 and 95 SMKs. It also nearly matches my 142 SMK 6.5 creedmoor dope to that range. I think the cheaper barrels with out of spec reamers fucked a lot of...

    BSF Bolt Action Barrel Blanks?

    I put one on an AR last spring for a light weight Coyote rifle. It’s in Valkyrie and does what I need for what I built it for. It’s light and easy to pack around. It’s a 1-7 and doesn’t like anything over 75 grains. It shoots the factory 60s very well, More time at the reloading bench may prove...

    What happened to the scouts?

    If you would have read the whole post, I said that pedos preyed on boys before the openly gay leaders. I’m also a numbers guy and odds go up. If you keep wolves near chickens, eventually wolves eat chicken. That’s my opinion, you can have your also.

    What happened to the scouts?

    This. I was about to say the same thing but no need to now. When the openly gay scout leaders thing came about years ago, I knew it was only a matter of time before the Boy Scouts would be dismantled, its kind of like it was planned. Liberals hate everything decent and seek to destroy it. Sure...

    Is .224 Valkyrie going to die out?

    My Shilen barreled Valkyrie shoots groups like this as well with 90 and 95 SMKs. It’s hard to do it every time, but the potential is there. When I Chump a shot, my groups open up to 1/2”. It’s the most accurate gas gun I’ve ever had.

    Is .224 Valkyrie going to die out?

    Both of mine worked well out of the gate. The first was a 22” Shilen 6.5 twist and its a consistent hammer. I’ve made 1st round hits on P Dogs out to 750yds. Go to powders are RL 17, Win760 and BLC-2 with 90 and 95 SMKs. It also nearly matches my 6.5 Creedmoor dope to 1000. I accidentally used...

    Holy Price Gouge

    I get what your saying, I reload also. I have bulk bullets that I could never replace for what I payed, not even close. I could load them for friends then be out of components myself and no one would care. Some would pass on cheap components if they had the chance, because they expect someone...

    Holy Price Gouge

    So what % above retail can they sell for? How do you know he didn’t over pay himself and now doesn’t want the items he over paid for? Gougers suck, I agree but if you have ammo, are you willing to sell at prices you payed years ago? If not state the % that we should all live by. I have 9MM that...

    Did I get ripped off by Optic planet

    Optics planet LOL. They sell you things they don’t have, then you waite until they can get it. The free shipping is a ploy to not give tracking info and take their sweet ass time. When they say you can’t get an item 2 day ups, they don’t have it. The last time they got me, I payed for 2 day...
